50 BOSTON SUNDAY GLOBE November 12, 1978 IMasf? tailback attack slaps Holy Cross HC and controlled the game. Pickett moved Dennis Dent out of his normal wingback slot and put him in as the tailback. Dent did the rest. Dent, who had averaged just nine carries through the first eight games, ran the ball 26 times for 203 yards and two touchdowns as UMass gained 375 of its 464 yards in total offense on the ground. "We watched the BU films," said UMass center Mike McLaughlin, "and saw we could set them up with the roll draw." "I practiced all week at tailback," said Dent.

"I didn't run one single day at split end. I didn't mind as long as I By Jce Concannon Holy Cross faithful in a crowd of 20,614 yesterday in Fit-Globe Staff ton Field filed out asking, What's wrong?"

We just have to phy list? come back with character." Well, all of it has something of a hollow ring to it What UMass (6-3) coach Bob Pickett did was to now and, instead of thinking the good thoughts and study films of what Boston University did a week ago dreaming about some bid to one of the smaller bowls, the against Holy Cross.

We saw they were weak on the roll draw. It was designed to go outside. They were flowing with the linebackers. I cut it back against the grain." Dent ran it perfectly through gaping holes opened by right guard Bruce Kimball, a 6-foot-2, 255-pound pro prospect, and McLaughlin, who spent his freshman season at Holy Cross and transferred to UMass.

At the top of the second half, Dent went through the holes on touchdown runs of 16 and 44 yards. "It wasn't merely me," said Dent. "It wa9 those guys up front. McLaughlin, Kimball. They did it.

I had to do it for them." "We controlled the line of scrimmage," said use (fullback) Hank Sareault inside and he's so strong he makes it available for Dennis." Before the first quarter was over, UMass had struck for a 7-0 lead as Mike McEvilly found tight end Chuck Balboni rambling in isolation up the left sideline and led him toward the end zone for a 37-yard touchdown play. It came one play after Chris Duggan of HC was penalized for roughing the' passer on a third-and-eight situation. Instead of punting, UMass had a first down. In the second quarter, John Beerworth of UMass picked off a Pete Colombo pass to set up a 61-yard, seven-play drive that was finished off by a field goal of 25 yards by Sandro Vitiello, who later kicked one of 37 yards. He now has 10 for the season, a UMass record.

That made it 10-0 and, early in the third quarter, Dent scored twice. On each occasion, Kimball simply wiped out his man, Dent cut back and said, "Goodby." Cornerback Kevin Sullivan set up the second score when he intercepted an underthrown Colombo pass. Two plays later, Dent went 44 yards for a 23-0 lead. Unable to move on the ground, Colombo took to the air, completed two passes of 16 and 14 yards to Cerretani and one of 11 yards to tight end Chuck Mullen. That put the ball at the UMass 1 and, after three straight running plays went nowhere, Colombo lobbed it to Mullen for the solitary HC score of the day.

Vitiello, who kicked two of his field goals with his right foot, kicked No. 8 with his left, and Steve Telander recovered a punt blocked by Steve LeMay to close out the scoring in the fourth quarter. UMass has now won five of its last six and has its eyes on an NCAA Division 1-AA playoff berth. "We hoped to play a possession game," said HC coach Neil Wheelwright, whose team has Rutgers next. "The problem was we couldn't stop them.

In the middle of the third period, they forced us to play catchup football. What we wanted to do was what they did: Keep the defense off the field." i I tiV KV I Ill I I i 10 mVT.

Ted Iobst's 20-yard field goal upped Lehigh's margin to 16-7 before Tursky's fumble out of the end zone gave Lehigh a safety for the Engineer's final points. The visiting Engineers came into the game leading the latest Lambert Cup rankings, symbolic of the top middle-sized college team in the East, but met up with a tough Black Bear defense and an explosive passing attack in New England's top NCAA Division 1-AA upset. Maine is 3-6-1. Lehigh dropped to 7-3 with both teams closing out their seasons next week on the road. United Press International ORONO, Maine End Rick Camire scored two fourth quarter touchdowns to rally the University of Maine at Orono past heavily favored Lehigh, 21-18, yesterday.

i Maine's sophomore quarterback John ursky completed 17 of 40 passes for 249 yards in leading the comeback highlighted by Camire's TD catch with 17 seconds left in the game. Tursky connected with Camire on a 30-yard touchdown pass with 6:50 left to set up the winning score. Maine had taken an early 7-0 lead in the game when fullback Chris Scontras plunged over from the 1-yard line in the first quarter. But Lehigh struck for two second peri back an interception for a touchdown only to have the Chiefs score on their next possession. But Wholley combined with George Moore for the second time in the game and then passed to Frank Keough with 1:47 left to put the game away.

"Things were too easy for us in the beginning. Not much time had elapsed and we had 21 points," UNH head coach Bill Bowes said after his team clinched its fifth straight winning season. "We relaxed. We thought the game was over. Much to Springfield's credit, they came back." "We appealed to our pride," Vandersea said of his team's comeback.

"We knew we could move the football, we just got caught a little flat footed in the beginning." "Everybody thought we would blow them out," Wholley admitted. "We finally realized in the third quarter that Springfield could move the football and put points on the board. We realized we were in for a ballgame." As for his game, Wholley was particularly proud as he checked off three plays sent in from the bench and the audibles he called were three of his touchdown passes. By Ed Mcurath Special to The Globe DURHAM, N.H.-Last week, University of New Hampshire quarterback Steve Wholley had a good day against Rhode Island in a losing cause. Yesterday, against Springfield College, Wholley gave an encore performance to lead his team to a 56-35 win.

Wholley, a senior from Haverhill, completed 15 of 23 passes for 284 yards and four touchdowns. He broke four school records and tied another. Wholley's performance overshadowed Springfield quarterback Pete Watson's day. Watson completed 20 of 33 for 282 yards and two touchdowns to turn what appeared to be a rout into a close game. "We feel we have the best quarterback in New England," Springfield head coach Howie Vandersea said.

"Watson has led us with over 450 yards in total offense the last three weeks." UNH, 6-3-1, scored the first three times it touched the ball and led 21-0 after the first quarter. The teams traded touchdowns in the second quarter. Springfield, 3-6, scored twice in the third quarter to cut UNH's lead to seven points. With 52 seconds gone in the final quarter, UNH safety Mike Gooden ran DOES THE SUN BELT FIT YOUR LIFE STYLE?
