N.C.

It was hard to tell whether is was a case of the South rising again or the North simply sinking. Most likely, it was a combination of both yesterday as tiny Davidson (enrollment 1300) totally embarrassed Boston University, 44-14. For the defending Yankee Conference champion Terriers, it was their fourth loss in five games, and according to coach Rick Taylor, their worst performance in his 4-year tenure. "We got out-offensed, out-defensed and outcoached." said Taylor. "It was obvious that we were not prepared to play, and that's my responsibility." It was a day when BU found Itself In trouble from the opening kickoff.

when it tried an onside boot that Davidson recovered at its 38. The Terrier defense held on the first Wildcat series, and that was just about the last good thing the defense did all afternoon. A roughlng-the-kicker penalty gave the Wildcats the ball at the 50. and a seven-play drive ended when Brian Whitmire (14 for 22. 260 yards, three TDs) connected with tight end Mark Blackman on fourth down from the 1 for a 7-0 lead.

On BU's first possession, quarterback Alan Arison was belted attempting to pass, the ball squirting up In the air, and 275-pound nose guard Wendell Washington had the first interception of his career. Six plays later. It was Whitmire to another tight end. James Jones, from a yard out. "It's 14-0 and we've run one offensive play," said Taylor.

"That gives them a load of momentum." It was a start tthat wasn't squandered. Whitmire continued to pick apart the BUt secondary, which was about as effective', as California has been against the Medi- fly. "I've never seen that many defensive breakdowns." said Taylor. Davidson, whose only previous win this year had been a come-from-behindX triumph against Wooford, ran simple? play-action patterns, clearing out a zone with one receiver and crossing one of its two tight ends into the vacated areas. Time after time, Whitmire found his receivers open, and when the half ended, it was Davidson, 30, BU 0, with the Wildcats throwing for 204 yards, running for-32 more, recovering two fumbles (one fori a safety) and making an interception.

"We anticipated they would key on" (Ray) Sinclair (24 carries, 80 yards) so we -used (play) action to draw in the lineback-H ers, and that opened our crossing' patterns." said Davidson coach Ed Far-rell, whose team scored five more points yesterday than it had totaled in its four i previous games. "Last year BU did what they wanted to against us (3514' Terriers). They might have" been a little flat today, but that's nobody's fault. That happens." BU got a quick burst of offense early in the secpnd half when freshman Paul Lewis swept right end, cut back and ran 49 yards for a touchdown, BU's longest run1 from scrimmage this year. Early in the fourth quarter, Arison sneaked a yard to" make it 30-14, but Whitmire came bac with a 49-yard completion to James Jones at the .7, setting up a quarterback' sneak that put things totally out of reach.

"We're totally embarrassed," said' Taylor, whose team's record is now 2-4. "all of us. players and coaches alike. We" sure aren't doing something right."

Both were effective. "1 know throwing 28 times is a lot for us, but it was part of the game plan. "We were banged up a lot after losing to Lehigh last week and we only had contact last Tuesday. We were hurting in many areas and still played well. Delaware scored 24 points in the second quarter.

The first touchdown came at 0:38 when Rick Scully, a hard-nosed quarterback, tossed a 7-yard scoring strike to Kevin Phelan, who was all alone in the end zone. UMass' Gregg Pearson fumbled the following kickoff, and the Blue Hens' Tom Toto recovered on the UMass 33. Four plays later, K.C. Knobloch booted a 28-yard field goal. A poor punt led to the next score.

Delaware took on its own 43, and 10 plays later, Scully scored on a sneak from the 1. The home club kept rolling. Barney Osevala intercepted a McGrath pass and returned it 25 yards to the UMass 23. Three plays later. Rick Titus scored from the 2.

Delaware went up, 31-0, in the third quarter when Bob Dougherty capped a 79-yard drive by bursting In from the 3. UMass recovered its poise and scored at 8:49 when freshman running back Demi Drougas ran in from the 7. McGrath produced the play of the drive when he took off on a 41 -yard sprint to the Delaware 31. UMass put together another lengthy, drive, an 81-yarder which was highlighted by a 48-yard Drougas run. Drougas capped it early In the fourth quarter with a 1-yard run.

By Bob Monahan Globe Staff NEWARK. Del. The University of. Delaware dominated the University of Massachusetts in the first half while building up a 24-0 lead yesterday, and UMass couldn't recover as the Blue Hens posted a 38-15 victory before 19.581 at Delaware Stadium. The first half was a nightmare for UMass.

The Minutemen were held to 24 yards rushing and 40 yards while the Blue Hens ran for 128 yards and passed for 163. That was the ball-game. UMass' regular quarterback. Dean Pecevlch, was sidelined again by an injured shoulder, and coach Bob Pickett went with. Barrett McGrath all the way.

McGrath didn't get any help from his receivers. In the first half, three well-thrown passes were dropped and a fourth would, have been caught if the Intended receiver had run a shade faster. "We just have to regroup," said Pickett, whose team is now 2-2 after two straight losses. '1 didn't know abqut him (Pecevich) until game time. He thought he was ready, but I didn't want to take a chance and have him get hurt 'early.

McGrath did some things very well. "Yes, Delaware did give some new looks, especially on their blocking on offense. And. they threw the ball more than I thought they would. We did have some chances early In the game but we didn't take advantage of them.

Hey, Delaware is a solid club." Delaware coach Tubby Raymond remarked, "We noticed that Rhode Island went outside against UMass last week, and part of our game plan was to run out- BU First downs 22 Rushes-yards 42-115 Passing yards 246 Return yards 149 Da, 18 42-93 287 81 15-23-0 0-0 6-81 18-35-2 Punts Fumbles-lost 3-2 Penatties-yarbs 5-65 LG Scully, .6 6 11.0 22 6 11.0 INDIVIDUAL LEADERS Rushing Art.

Joe Brooks bolted over from the half-foot line with 9:55 remaining in the third quarter to put' it out of reach. 26-0.

By Steven Wilson Special to The Globe KINGSTON. R.I. It may not mean much in Birmingham or South Bend, where football is the byword, but make no mistake about it: Rhode Island is for real. Not since All-America Pat Abbruzzi and the Refrigerator Bowl entry of 955 has a Rhody team caused as much havoc. After nine consecutive losing seasons, URI has turned the corner.

Yesterday Rhode Island wop its fourth game in five tries, capturing the the war in the trenches for a 33-0 decision over Northeastern before a festive Homecoming Day crowd of 9842 at Meade Stadium. "We got knocked off the ball offensively and defensively," admitted NU coach Paul Pawlak. "They controlled the line of The Huskies (1-3) were unable to do much on the ground, crossing midfleld only four times all day while amassing Just 62 net yards rushing. Meanwhile, Rhode Island churned out 190 yards on the ground, thanks to rollout quarterback Dave Grimsich (10 for 18 passing, 58 yards rushing) and the shifting moves of running back Jon Rodgers (12 carries, 47 yards). "This is the best URI team I've seen since the 78 season." said Pawlak.

On a fourth and 2 from the UNH 12, Maine shifted from the winged-T to the I formation, and Bouier cruised around right end untouched for the score. But the right arm of New Hampshire's stellar quarterback, Denis Stevens, put the Wildcats right back in the game. After the ensuing kickoff, Stevens took the Wildcats downfield. firing an 11 -yard TD strike to split end Pete O'Don-nell with 15 seconds left in the half. The extra point made the count 16-10 at intermission.

Maine gave itself a bit more breathing room six minutes into the third quarter when Leone made good on a 44-yard field goal through tlie teeth of a biting wind. Yet New Hampshire, a team with more comebacks than Don Rickles, battled back to pull within three, 19-16, after John Nocera scored from 14 yards out. Maine would not be denied that elusive first win on this afternoon, though. Safety John McGrath picked off a Stevens pass and raced 43 yards for a touchdown with 6:30 left. The Bears had the game, and the Yankee Conference had quite an upset.

By Scott Cole Special to The Globe ORONO. Maine New Hampshire coach Bill Bowes was saying on Thursday that when his Wildcats and' the University of Maine play, "you can throw the record books right out the window." Right about now, Bowes is wishing he hadn't been so accurate in that assessment. 4 Led by the throwing and running of freshman quarterback Rich Labonte and a fired-up defensive unit, the previously winless Black Bears stunned New lampshire, 26-16, yesterday before 6700 Homecoming Fans at Alumni Field. The upset gave Maine's Ron Rogerson his first collegiate victory and left the Bears with a 1-4-1 record, 1-2 in the Yankee Confer-, ence. The Wildcats drop to 4-1.

2-1 in conference play. After coming from behind late in the game to beat Connecticut last week, the Wildcats picked up right where they left off by jumping on the scoreboard first in this one. Rusty Foster banged home a 36-yard field goal 10 minutes into the game after a UNH drive stalled. But the Black Bears, asleep at the wheel on offense through much of the autumn, came right back with a score of their own. Maine launched a time-consuming five minute drive downfield.
