IB BOSTON SUNDAY GLOBE November 12. 1978 Harvard sacks Peerfs home streak, 1743 about the best thing you can do at the goal line." But while the Quakers were busy sending various receivers into the end zone, nobody remembered to block defensive tackle Tim Palmer. "I was in the gap," Palmer said, "and nobody blocked me. I just blew in there." Palmer sacked Roland at the 13 and Penn was unable to get off another play before time ran out. It was a finish that bore absolutely no resemblance to the start.

In the first quarter Penn's wishbone attack looked like it had been shipped in special delivery from the Big 8. Roland simply went bonkers, rushing for 125 yards, scoring one touchdown and setting up the other as the Quakers jumped to a 13-0 lead less than halfway through the first period. Now came the test of character. Harvard's hopes for the Ivy League title were short-circuited by Brown last week and now Penn looked like it could run the ball at 'will. "We could have given up right there," said Crimson coach Joe Restic, ''but we just rolled right back in it.

We just told our kids not to lose their poise, not to give them an easy one. You can panic in that situation, throw every down and that's the biggest mistake you can make." Late in the period Harvard took over on its 47 and moved to the Penn 31 in four plays. Then halfback Ralph Polillio (17 carries, 85 yards) went 30 yards off right tackle to the one, setting up quarterback Larry Brown's sneak that made it 13-7. Harvard's defense stiffened kept changing our defenses, trying to make it tougher for them toaread" Restic), holding off Penn on its next two possessions. Then the offense went to work.

Taking over on its 25, Brown marched his team smoothly. He ran for 19 yards, passed for 35 and hit John MacLeod with a 15-yarder in the end zone. Gary Bosnic's extra point gave Harvard a 14-13 lead. The last bit of scoring for the day came in the final seconds of the half. Penn, with a first down at its 14 with 16 seconds left, swept right, apparently trying to run out the clock.

Roland here made a mental error and pitched the ball to his trailing back. The ball was fumbled and cornerback Terry Trusty recovered for Harvard at the 7. Two plays later Bosnic kicked a 24-yard field goal. "We just made too many mistakes in key situations," said Gamble. "We had four 15-yard penalties.

We had an offsides in a key situation. We should have won the ball game. We had the opportunities. We just didn't capitalize on them." Indeed, on two occasions in the fourth quarter alone, Penn had the ball inside the Harvard 10 and another time got as close as the 24. For their efforts, the Quakers came away without a point.

"We had our chances," said Gamble. "We just couldn't get it in there." By Harry Eisenberg Globe Correspondent PHILADELPHIA It was a finish as hectic as any white sale at Filene's Basement, but this is now to be expected of Harvard, a team whose three losses this year have been by a toal of eight points. Only the final score was different yesterday as the Crimson stopped Penn from the 4-yard line as time ran out at Franklin Field to preserve a 17-13 victory. Penn, which jumped out to a 13-0 lead in the first quarter, was desperately trying to maintain an unbeaten home streak that dated back eight games to 1976 and a 34-8 loss to Harvard. The ball was on the four, 21 seconds remained on the clock and the Quakers had taken their last time out.

Quarterback Tom Roland, who ran for 125 yards in the first quarter, rolled to his left. "We were flooding the zone," said Penn coach Harry Gamble, who has not beaten Harvard since 1972.

Yale passes Princeton By Jack Craig Globe Staff Central Connecticut's defensive plan against Northeastern yesterday was to cut off passes to tight end Dan Ross and interrupt sweeps by option quarterback Allan Deary. "We accomplished both of those things," Central coach Bill Loika said sadly after his team had absorbed a 35-20 whacking at Parsons Field in Brookline. While Central was concentrating elsewhere, sophomore and freshman swifties Blake Russell and Clint Mitchell, recruited from the same high school in East Orange, N.J., danced for 201 of 243 yards piled up on the ground by the Huskies. Russell ran for 142, including a 60-yard TD sprint in which he looked like a finalist in the NCAA dash. Mitchell squirmed for 59 more, often bursting over the top of tacklers when not dodging past them.

The game had the imprint of an early rout when Northeastern moved 49 yards to set up a field goal by Brian Snow, then traveled 68 more on 10 plays for a 10-0 lead, set up by a Deary pass 25 yards to the lip of the goal to Shawn Brickman. On the ensuing play, talented Central quarterback Jim Taft was lugged off the field with a leg injury. But big and bruising backup Terry Hogan promptly directed two long TD drives to give the visitors a 14-10 lead. Hogan's inexperience betrayed him when Bob Cossetti's interception gave Northeastern the ball at the Central 29 just before halftime. From the 10, Deary again found Brickman, who made a difficult catch in the right corner of the end zone.

A turn-around play occurred shortly after the start of the second half when Hogan was ruled inches short of a first down on NU's seven. The Huskies then went 93 yards, making three third-and-long plays en route, including a tough catch in traffic by Ross. After Russell outran tacklers to the end zone from the three, Ross caught a two-pointer to make it 28-14. Still, it seemed to be a ball game again when Central had a second and goal on the Northeastern one with eight minutes to play. But three plays lost 20 yards.

Russell's 60-yard sprint was next, followed by a show of character drive by Central, which went 67 yards for a score that just beat the clock. "We do have some offensive players," said NU coach Bo Lyons, reaching for understatement. The defensive lag could be blamed partly on injuries in the line and secondary. Lyons is hoping for recovered health for the finale vs. Maine next Saturday.

After winning five of 10 games to date, the last one is extra special. Central Connecticut lost its seventh in 10 games yesterday, only the third losing season during Loika's 15 years there as coach. By Roger Strong Special to The Globe NEW HAVEN It wasn't in the playbook, but it sparked Yale to a 23-7 victory over Big Three rival Princeton yesterday at the Yale Bowl. Yale held a 10-7 lead several minutes into the third period, the margin supplied by a field goal when senior quarterback Pat O'Brien dropped back to pass from the Yale 40. He looked toward the right sideline, but threw quickly down the middle of the finding his favorite target, 6-foot-4, 220-pound split end John Spagnola.

The pass was high, and Spagnola, could only tip the ball into the air while Tiger safetymen Bill Powers and Paul Converse watched. Enter teammate Bob Krystnisk, another of Yale's lumbering wide receivers. "The ball was high (after the deflection) and I had plenty of time to get there and catch it," said the 6-foot-2, 210-pound end. His grab and 30-yard run produced a 60-yard touchdown play and the six points that gave Yale a comfortable lead in the 101st meeting between the two schools. "Those two are not the most agile guys in the world, but they are always looking for each other," noted Cozza after his 12th straight win over the Tigers.

But Spagnola, who set a career yardage record with his three catches for 73 yards, and Krystniak, who hadn't scored this season until yesterday, have good hands. So Cozza, after trying to generate offense on pitchouts to tailback Ken Hill, the fastest man on the team, ealrier in the fall, let his 5-foot, 170-pound quarterback pass 23 times in all. Yale gained 235 yards in the air, twice the Tiger air attack and wore down the Princeton front line enough to spring Hill for a career-high 140 yards on the ground. Hill started the scoring for Yale, sprinting 20 yards with an' option toss from O'Brien on the second Eli possession, eight minutes into the game. The score was the third touchdown of the year for Hill, a fleet 190-pounder from Louisiana who has averaged almost 5 yards a carry this fall.

Linebacker Skip Porter's interception of a Tiger screen pass from QB Steve Reynolds for fullback Garry Larson set up the short 34-yard drive. Princeton had a chance to tie in the first minute of the second quarter, but Yale safety Chip Kelly intercepted Larson's option pass in the end zone. Another Princeton turnover a fumble by Larson that Kelly covered at the Princeton 23 gave Schwartz a shot at the field goal that put Yale up 10-0. Then the Tigers moved 69 yards as Reynolds found seams in the Yale secondary five times. On his last pass, Reynolds hit end Rich Keefe just inside the end zone, and Lou Vaccarello tacked on the extra-point to make it 10-7.
