He sat out part of the season, returned and was a one-man wrecking crew as he ran 18 times for 73 yards, caught two passes for 62 yards and one touchdown. His second reception picked up 23 yards to the nine and St. John scored two plays later to salt it away, 24-7.

For Yale, a bittersweet season, set off by the Ivy League championship it wrapped up a week ago at Princeton and marred by a defeat to Harvard. Of the six fumbles, five were by Hill, its flamboyant back who admitted later he was in a fog. "I was hit early," he said. "I was dizzy. I didn't see one of the pitches at all." As Restic said, though, "I think we helped to turn it over a little bit.

If you get quick pressure, it disrupts you." He received it all day long, from a big-play defense that was complemented by an effective offense (173 yards rushing, 152 passing) that left Old Harvards leaving the Bowl wondering what might have been in this rags-to-riches season. Summary, Page 80 13-7 at 6:51 of the third period, Harvard had waited too long for a day like this. Even as his team was enduring six straight Harvard coach Joe Restic had said he had "a championship defense." Yesterday, the defense backed him up as end Dave Otto led an aroused pass rush, Casto recovered two of three lost Yale fumbles and three passes were picked off. "You never got to see the whole thing," said Restic. "We had such poor field position.

They were staying on the field too long. I look at some of the games we lost without St. John (not to mention Callinan and some others) and we were in every one of them except Cornell." If there was lingering hope among the Yale partisans that they would realize a perfect season for the first time since 1960, much of it evaporated with a disastrous pass interference call against Ar-nie Pingston of Yale gave Harvard a 43-yard pickup and set up a 22-yard Dave Cody field goal for a 16-7 lead 3:36 into the final period. Callinan is a sophomore out of St. Ignatius might have been.

"I wasn't surprised. We were down loss-wise, but we weren't down mentally. We had a lot to prove and we did it." In all Yale fumbled six times, losing three. One drive ended on the Harvard 10 when Ken Hill fumbled and John Casto recovered for Harvard. One ended with a missed 41-yard field goal by Dave Swartz.

One ended at the Harvard 4 when John Rogan overthrew Rich Diana in the end zone. All of that in the first half. After the missed field goal at the end of the first quarter, Harvard turned to the big play, with St. John tossing a sideline pass to fullback Jim Callinan, who ran it in to finish off a 39-yard touchdown play for a 13-0 lead just 25 seconds into the second quarter. The die was cast.

So it was Harvard 13, Yale 0 as the teams went to the dressing rooms on a pleasant, sunny afternoon and, even though Yale came out and moved 63 yards in 12 plays with starting quarterback Den-nie Dunn busting the final four yards to cut it to Globe Staff NEW HAVEN In the gloaming of a crisp autumn afternoon with the Harvard band playing the appropriate music in the parking lot outside the Lapham Field House at Yale, Mike Brown slipped off to one side between two parked cars and quietly talked about his final game as the 106th football captain at Harvard. "All season," he said, "we've been saying we're a team of emotion and intensity, a team of winners. If we had to come up with a slogan today everyone said, 'We owe it to each If you're going to start from the first play and make things happen. That's what football's all about." In a marvelous expression of the emotion and intensity he talked about, Brown and the team he leads wrote a wondrous ending to a rags-to-riches 3-6 season with a 22-7 win over Yale yesterday before a crowd of 72,000 wedged into Yale Bowl, the largest throng in 25 years. For Yale coach Carm Cozza, the empty pangs of Ray Fitzgerald's column on The Game Page 88 deja vu.

For the third time in his 15 years at Yale, he brought an 8-0 team into The Game against Harvard. For the third time, a blemish. There was the historic 29-29 tie in 1968, the 21-16 defeat in 1974 when Milt Holt ran it in with 15 seconds to go. Now this. Of the three, this one was the most decisive as a sometimes-maligned Harvard offense took it to Yale from the opening kickoff, marching 74 yards in 13 plays for a 7-0 lead on a 4-yard run by Jon Hollingsworth.

Of the 74 yards, 61 were on the ground against a Yale defense that had given up just 65.4 yards rushing per game. "We controlled the line of scrimmage from the beginning," said quarterback Burke St. John, whose injury in the second game of the season and one-month absence hurt the development of what The bowl bids Orange Bowl taps Florida BU ties, playoff fate uncertain t.A 1 jr -i kO 0 4 1 1 jmv "Si1--- Arkansas. Texas, Arkansas and Houston are all in contention for the SWC title, with the champ being the host team in the Cotton Bowl. Sugar Bowl officials, however, say Houston is not under consideration for a bid.

That doesn't mean the No. 9 Cougars will be sitting home. The Sun Bow! already has lined up the third-man-out in the SWC to meet Washington unless the Huskies beat out Southern Cal for the trip to the Rose Bowl. Meanwhile, the lesser bowls were scrambling to obtain the best possible matchups. The Fiesta Bowl landed No.

11 Pitt, a 40-0 victor over Army yesterday, for one spot and is hoping Alabama or Brigham Young stumbles on the way to a conference championship and becomes available for a Christmas Day date in Phoenix. The Dec. 22 Liberty Bowl in Memphis has an interesting matchup between Penn State (7-3) and Tulane (8-2). And the Gator Bowl officials moved quickly to land Big Ten runnerup Michigan (8-3) for a Dec. 28 date with North Carolina (6-3-1).

Indiana and Purdue also will be representing the Big Ten in postseason play. The Hoosiers accepted a bid to the Holiday Bowl, where they're likely to play either Brigham Young or San Diego State. Purdue will be spending New Year's Eve in the Astrodome against an unnamed Bluebonnet Bowl foe. Clemson proved its No. 14 ranking was no fluke by upsetting Notre Dame, 16-10, then accepting a bid to the Jan.

1 Peach Bowl, where the Tigers will meet Baylor (7-3), the fourth Southwest Conference team to be bowl-bound. It will be LSU (6-4 after beating Mississippi State, 21-3, last night) vs. Wake Forest (8-3) in the Dec. 22 Tangerine Bowl in Orlando, Fla. Other bowls which managed to fill at least one slot included the Hall of Fame Bowl in Birmingham, where South Carolina (7-3) will meet a yet-to-be-named opponent on Dec.

29, and the Dec. 15 Garden State Bowl in East Rutherford, N.J. where Temple, a 22-7 loser to Penn State yesterday, accepted a bid to be the host team. And the scrambling isn't over yet. Bowl lineup in Scoreboard From Wire Services The lineup for college football's bowl games started shaping up yesterday afternoon, but the game most fans wanted No.

1 Alabama vs. the Big Eight champion in the Orange Bowl won't materialize. That was decided when Auburn beat Georgia, 33-13, yesterday afternoon, prompting the Orange Bowl to invite No. 5 Florida State to meet the winner of next Saturday's Big Eight showdown between No. 2 Nebraska and No.

7 Oklahoma. Closer to home, Boston University kept its hopes alive for a bid for the NCAA Division 1-AA playoffs by rallying to tie Bucknell, 20-20. Mai Najarian scored with 11 seconds left, and Jim Jensen threw a two-point conversion to Scott Phinney. Playoff invitations go out tomorrow, with Lehigh now the leading contender for the East selection, while BU, and now UMass, the Yankee Conference co-champion with the Terriers, will be vying for an at-large invitation. The other three major bowls must wait until next week to finalize their matchups.

Ohio State earned one of the Rose Bowl berths by wrapping up the Big Ten title with its 18-15 victory over Michigan. Unbeaten but once-tied Southern Cal can wrap up the Pac-10 championship and the other berth by beating UCLA next Saturday. If Southern Cal falters, once-beaten Washington is waiting. The folks at the Cotton Bowl can sit back and await the results of next week's games, knowing they'll have a good attraction with the Southwest Conference Champion against the Big Eight runner-up (loser of next Saturday's Nebraska-Oklahoma game). Should Arkansas (9-1), defeat SMU in Little Rock, next Saturday and Texas' win its remaining two games, the Razorbacks would earn the host spot despite the possibilities of a three-way SWC tie.

But the Sugar Bowl organizers will have to sweat it out and pray No. 1 Alabama can beat Auburn in their traditional, throw-out-the-records wrap-up on Dec. 1. Should Auburn win that one, Georgia ties for the SEC title and goes to the Sugar Bowl because 'Bama has been there more recently. Aj any rate, the SEC representative will meet either Texas or Nauset's John Lawless makes one of his 13 saves en route to 2-1 win over Duxbury in EM ass Division 2 South soccer final.

That's when many hunters learn that the safety devices are worn as much for their companions as for themselves.

Not since 1975 had Ohio State crossed the Wolverine goal line, and when it finally did the Buckeyes got help from Michigan. With Ohio trailing 7-6 midway through the third quarter, Art Schlicter's pass on third-and-goal from the-18 bounced out of the hands of Michigan defensive back Mike Jolly and into the arms of second-string split end Chuck Hunter, who was packpedaling off-balance in the corner of the end zone. And with the Buckeyes trailing again, this time 15-12 three minutes into the final quarter, they unloaded a 10-man rush on Wolverine punter Bryan Virgil, blocked the ball on the 18, and watched rover Todd Bell carry it into the end zone for the winning score. "Our punting's so bad," sighed Bo Schem-bechler, minutes before his varsity accepted a bid to play North Carolina in the Gator Bowl. "Our By John Powers Globe Staff ANN ARBOR, Mich.

After a while, with the howling still going on behind closed doors, he emerged with soggy rumpled hair and a necktie dotted with unfamiliar red flowers unfamiliar in the state of Ohio, at least. "Well," said Ohio State coach Earle Bruce, "we're going to the Rose Bowl. In the right way." No ties. No Bruce-coached team has ever been involved in one. And no Indiana back doors.

The Buckeyes capped an unbeaten season yesterday with a stirring 18-15 victory over Michigan efore 106,255 inside Michigan Stadium and wrapped up not only the outright Big 10 title but their first trip to Pasadena since 1975. "This one was for real," said Bruce. "It was up at Michigan against a fine team. And we did score atDuchdown. We scored a couple of them.

We kicking game's beaten us all year. Absolutely ridiculous." The Wolverines, as Schembechler reminded questioners, were still only eight points from an unbeaten season. But even if they'd beaten Ohio State, to go to Pasadena they would have needed an upset of Purdue by Indiana, which didn't happen. Schembechler decided to gamble anyway, starting freshman Rich Hewlett in place of senior regular John Wangler at quarterback "because we wanted to run the option." Since Wangler is primarily a passer, and B.J. Dickey, Michigan's best option man, was hurt, Hewlett was the only alternative.

Still, after Wolverine safety Mike Harden returned an interception to the Ohio 31 in the first quarter, Hewlett brought Michigan to the 2, with two cracks for a first down. Both calls were by substitute fullback Roosevelt Smith, and put the option squarely to the Buckeyes. How did they want to gel to Pasadena? By foot, as it turned out. In a series that has usually been reduced to simplicities, it came down to the fact that both Buckeye punter Tom Orosz and placekicker Vlade Janakievski were scholarship recruits. Virgil wasn't.

Janakievski kicked field goals of 23 and 25 yards yesterday, and Orosz (40-yd. average) put three of his four punts into the Michigan end zone. Virgil averaged 31 yards, and never had a chance on the one they blocked on him. Both Ken Fritz and Jim Laughlin barrelled in. smothered the ball on Virgil's foot, and gave Bell an 18-yard walk to the West Coast.

The right way. Summary, Page 78 options, both calls made by Schembechler, and Wangler found himself snowed under twice. Why the option'instead of a sneak: "I liked it," Schembechler snapped. So Michigan got nothing, and as halftime grew near Hewlett was gone with an ankle injury. "That was the end of the option," said Schembechler.

Which turned out to be a blessing. In six plays, Wangler erased a 3-0 Ohio lead with a sideline bomb to freshman jaguar Anthony Carter, who caught the ball at full speed on the Ohio 30 and completed a 59-yard scoring play untouched. Later, after the Buckeyes had gone up 12-7, Wangler dropped back from his 15 and did it again same man, same pattern this time for 66 yards. That set up a 1-yard dive and a two-point rush.
