"I've felt all week we could beat this team, and Air Force 1 HC Ewald 7 run (Misftaud kick) is an excellent team. This is by far AFA-satety punt blocked through end zone By Lesley Visser Globe Staff Lou Holtz, head coach at Arkansas, on the Texas defensive line: "If our offensive guards don't play super against their two tackles, we don't have a chance. We may go into the huddle, take a delay of game, and still refuse to' come out." Not only did the Boston College guards not play well from the second quarter until almost the end, it was a hastily thrown together offensive line' at that. During the second quarter of the game that BC lost 37-2, Boston College had six penalties in eight plays. The line at the time consisted of freshman Gerry Raymond, sophomore Mark Ciruolo who was starting for the first time and junior Greg Michalec, who replaced starting left tackle Dan Cordeau.

"It was awful," said quarterback jay Palazola (who completed seven of 13 passes for 73 yards). "Their defense was coming in every time on the count of one, so we decided to change. The count was two, but we hadn't had any experience with it, so we made constant mistakes. Everyone was jumping at different times." Boston College, and the 26,012 fans who saw the Veer work beautifully the first quarter, transformed itself in the second quarter. Palazola started the day looking like he did in last year's spring game.

BC had three first downs in its first series. The defense kept from a first down until only 2:25 remained in the first quarter. "Then, in the second quarter, we made too many God-dog-it mistakes," said coach Ed Chlebek of BC's ultimate 10 fumbles (six of which they lost) and seven penalties. "We got beat by a good football team, sure, but we gave them plenty of opportunities." Last week BC fumbled seven times against Air Force now the Eagles have turned the ball over 12 times in two weeks on fumbles. And the way they fumbled was essentially masochistic.

first scored after BC fumbled the ball away on the Texas 35. The next score followed a fumble at the BC 29. To make it 34-2, needed only to recover another BC fumble at its own 34 and score three plays later. "You can't give the ninth-ranked' team in the country the ball that many times and not expect them to said defensive tackle Fred Smerlas who was bounced around from wide tackle to middle guard primarily to stop Curtis Dickey. Dickey, the 6-foot-l jumper who-' stumbles on the threshold of being the; fastest college runner in the enriched the lives of Alumni Stadium fans by totaling 138 yards (18 carries) before a bruised thigh kept him out of tauH.inp all but two plays of the second half.

"We played kind of conservative in the beginning," Dickey said, "but I guess we loosened up after that." I guess. Dickey went on to score three touchdowns in nine minutes, slashing, sneaking and otherwise deli-ciously charging through the holes opened up by Kyle Golson and Ed Pus-tejovsky. Dickey rushed for 128 yards two weeks ago when Texas beat Kansas; he has now had eight plus-100-yard games and he is only a junior. Next year consider the fact that George Woo-dard, redshirted this year after he was hurt playing Softball, will join Dickey in the backf ield the possibility of the two all-time Texas leading rushers side by side. The only consolation, perhaps, is that BC will not have to play them.

Holy Cross spirited football resurgence now seems for real. The surprising Crusaders, fiery defenders and versatile and efficient attackers, struck a big blow for New England gridiron prestige when they demolished the highly favored Air Force Academy, 35-18, in the bright sunshine and rarified air at Falcon Stadium here yesterday. This was such a shocker it left the 21,477 spectators gasping in disbelief and marveling at the cohesive team effort by the visitors from Worcester, Mass. The Crusaders won this one the hard way and with thundering conviction.

They spotted the hard-blocking Falcons a 10-point lead and were so badly outplayed during the first 13 minutes that it appeared they would be blown off the field. Air Force, totally dominant then, had a first down on the Holy Cross 21 and appeared certain to increase its 10-0 advantage. Here Curt Bletzer, a sophomore linebacker from Brighton, stole one of the touted Dave Ziebart's passes to grant the Crusaders a reprieve on their 3-yard line. This daring interception, at first, merely seemed to delay disaster just as the hungry tackling of Jay Howlett and Kevin Harrington had prevented Air Force from doubling its scoring total earlier. But it was the big turning point of a swiftly changing game.

The Crusaders suddenly caught fire. They roared 97 yards in a stirring race against the clock and sent Phil Johnson into the end zone the first of their five touchdowns with just 30 seconds left in the quarter. Larry Ewald's 76-yard scamper with a short pass from Peter Colombo had set that one up. Less than four minutes later Steve Gannon intercepted another Ziebart pass and roared it back some 55 yards to pave the way for Cronk Nangle to put the Crusaders ahead to stay. Holy Cross was in command thereafter and tormented last week's upset victors over Boston College with the sharp passing of Colombo and the strong running of Ewald, Nangle, Johnson, Brian Doherty, John Ahern, and Elmars Reks.

can turn without the line; you saw the holes they made for us. And our defense, once again, was superb." By Joe Concannon Globe Staff For the first 10 minutes, it looked as if it might be a football game, and yes, Boston College seemed to have ironed out the deficiencies of a Veer offense that was so inefficient in a defeat to Air Force a week ago. For the first 10 minutes, visions of Texas, 1976, the upset. For the next 50 minutes, though, it was all Texas before 26,012 most of whom headed for the exit gates before the end of the third quarter last night in Alumni Stadium. For the next 50 minutes, BC found itself in a pathetic mismatch.

For the next 50 minutes, visions of Texas, 1977, the humiliation. To say the final was Texas 37, BC 2 is being charitable. Up against the speed and quickness of the Aggies, BC looked slow and awkward. Its timing was all but destroyed by the charge of the line, and by halftime, BC had become a confused and indecisive football team. Jay Palazola, the quarterback who fumbled four times a week ago, fumbled seven times last night, and as time ran out in the third quarter, one play said it all.

After picking up 20 yards, Palazola was hit at the goal line and he fumbled it out of the end zone for a touchback. For Texas the ninth-ranked team in the nation, the game plan was simple. Give it to the marvelous Curtis Dickey, a running back in the wishbone who is fifth on the world list for 1978 in the 100 meter dash. In the first half, he gained 127 yards and scored three touchdowns. Nothing fancy, nothing risky.

Just executive, just a basic trap. "A reverse trap," said quarterback Mike Mosley. "The guard comes across and blocks on the tackle. We fake it one way and go the other." On touchdown runs of 13 and 29 yards, Dickey hit the line, zipped through quick-opening hole and said "Goodbye." "We knew they would try to contain me on the outside stuff, so we decided to go up the middle," said Dickey, who left the game with a bruised thigh early in the third quarter after gaining 138 yards in 18 carries. "Just a quick trap.

The hole was there. All I had to do was run through it." Stung a week ago by an 18-7 loss to an Air Force team that was beaten by Holy Cross yesterday, BC came out all revved up, twice moved deep into Texas territory. On the first sequence, it bogged down when Palazola was dumped back on the 40 for a loss of 10.. On the second, a safety and a 2-0 lead. After a BC punt was downed at the one by Dave Johnson, Texas could only get it out to the six on two running plays.

On the next playk, Fred Smerlas busted through and nailed Mosely back at the one. Jack Kent then blocked a punt by David Appleby and it went out of the end zone for the safety. On the next sequence, BC picked up its seventh first down (to none for Tex-asa of the first quarter when Palazola hit Paul McCarty on an 11-yard pass to the 34. Palazola kept on the next play and was hit by Jacob Green as he attempted to pitch it. He fumbled, Carl Grulich recovered for and the Curtis Dickey show was about to begin.

He picked up 51 of 65 yards and raced the final 13 for a 6-2 lead just two seconds into the second quarter. If so, he set a world record for the 13-yard dash. To BC, it probably seemed like two seconds. On its second possession of the second quarter, the Veer and Palazola came unglued. After Jeff Dziama picked off a Mosely pass at the Texas 45, Palazola threw a lateral pass behind McCarty and it went out of bounds for a loss of 11 yards.

On the next play, Palazola scrambled, was hit and fumbled it away at the BC 29. Net loss, 15 yards. On its first play. Dickey went 29 yards and it was 13-2 and about to get worse. Before the second quarter was over, Dickey had set up his third touchdown (from the one at 7:51) and Texas picked up two points on a safety when Ed Kulas snapped it over the head of punter John Cooper.

In the second quarter, BC was held to five yards in total offense and failed to pick up a single first down. It was 28-2 at intermis-son on this cool, crisp evening. At the top of the third quarter, Mosely kept it on an option and went 55 yards for a touchdown, and tony Franklin, the barefooted kicker who holds eight NCAA records, kicked a 29-yard field goal to close out the scoring for the night. After that it turned into a game off the sandlots and the BC fans headed for the exits wondering, "what next?" INDIVIDUAL LEADERS Rushing Player (School) Att. Yds.

'Allen called a super game," said his coach Bo Lyons. 'That drive showed him he had the ability and mentality to be the great player he is." It also demoralized C.W.

Post. On the next series of downs, the NU line caused them to fumble the ball back to the 10, where their quarterback Dale Pescitelli threw wild and into the arms of Mark Anderson, who followed a wall of Husky blockers 33 yards into the end zone. Northeastern waited until the fourth quarter for another score, with Deary doing it again as he put together a 62-yard drive on 10 plays and eating up more than three minutes of the clock. The key play in that drive was a 17-yard pass from Deary to tight end Ross, the 100th completion in the latter's career at Northeastern. Ross stepped out at the one and Deary put it in on a keeper.

The final drive was engineered by sub NU signal caller Bob Caloggero, a 23-yard drive on four plays after Bob Corsetti intercepted a Post pass. Post didn't score until with 1:36 left as Pescitelli hit Shawn Hyman with a couple of long, desperation passes. The NU defensive line, led by Fred Baldino and Russ Jenness, out-gunned the Post offense all afternoon allowing them just five third-down conversions in 16 attempts. By Barry Cadigan Globe Staff A picture-perfect 99-yard drive, directed and produced by sophomore quarterback Allen Deary inspired Northeastern to a 28-8 victory over C.W. Post before 4867 at Parsons Field, Brookline, yesterday.

The Huskies dominated the first period as they did just about the entire game, but couldn't score until the second quarter. And they did that starting from behind their own goal line. Post had kicked to the Northeastern one, downing the ball there. But Deary, from Putnam, called his own signals and called every one just about perfectly from there. Here's the way it went: Deary tried one pass that went incomplete, sent Mark Nemes up the middle for three and then threw to Shawn Brickman for a first down on the 17.

He got himself sacked but refused to cave in, instead rushing to the 30 on a. keeper. Deary used Clint Mitchell for a couple before making the first down himself, all up the middle. He threw to tight and Dan Ross for a first down on the Post 47, used Mitchell once and then carried himself to the 37 for another first down. He threw to Chris Bradley for another first down on the 27, ran Mitchell inside for eight and got another first down himself to the outside putting the ball on the 16.

Deary then pitched to Clint O'Donnell, putting the ball on the 10, kept himself to the five and sent Nemes over right tackle for the touchdown. Fumbles lost 3-1 Penalties yards 8-80 yds. Passing Comp. Att.Yds. TO Int.
