In the end, Harvard lost its fifth game in a row for the first time since 1950, dropping a 9-7 decision to Princeton yesterday before 15,000 at the stadium. Of course, it could have been -Harvard's win. After recovering a Princeton fumble, Harvard drove 58 yards in two plays to the Tiger 26, only to watch quarterback Burke St.

John fumble away the ball with 2:47 left to play. The game was marked by offensive confusion. Harvard was held to minus 35 yards rushing the first half, then made adjustments in the third quarter and attacked Princeton up the middle for its only score. Princeton spent the greater part of the afternoon trying to figure out St. John's passing routes, then blitzed at the end of the game to stop him when victory hung in the balance.

"It's been a long time since I've seen a game like that," said Harvard coach Joe Restic. "Very simply, we didn't get the pass protection when we needed it and we didn't capitalize on the opportunities we were given." Harvard came into the game without leading rusher Paul Connors, who chipped a bone in his ankle during practice on Thursday. The rushing responsibility was shifted to Jon Hollingsworth (10 carries, 56 yards, plus three receptions for 39 yards) and Tom Beatrice (17 car ries, 28 yards). St. John finished with minus 79 yards on the ground.

Rich Horner was again the primary receiver, amassing 119 yards on eight receptions and becoming the fourth-leading receiver in Harvard history with a career total 5f 53 catches, 29 this year. Princeton took a 6-0 lead in the first quarter when quarterback Steve who threw only one pass all day, ran in from the three after directing the Tigers 52 yards. The snap on the conversion try was fumbled and thes6-0 score stood until the third quarter. Harvard's account of the first half read like an Introduction to Problems in the Staggered Offense. Three backs, lined up slightly behind each other to the right or left of St.

John, did little more than get out of the way while Princeton's Tim Mulvey came through to sack St. John or stop the sweep for no gain. Restic must have given his players an inspirational message during the halftime break, because the Crimson took the ball on the first possession of the third quarter and scored 10 plays later when Paul Scheper ran in from the three for a 7-6 lead. It lasted until after Harvard's Dave Cody attempted a 43-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter that hit the crossbar and gave Princeton the ball on its 26. With Bob Holly in at quarterback, Princeton ripped apart the Harvard defense, including a 34-yard run by sparkplug Larry Van Pelt, who totaled 59 yards.

Lou Vaccarrel-lo capped the drive with a 40-yard field goal for the 9-7 lead.

Conway soon made it 12-0 on a one-yard plunge, climaxing a drive of 55 yards highlighted by Shelby Gamble's 27-yard sprint to which a 15-yard face mask penalty was added, giving BC the ball at the Army eight. Army began the second half aggressively, traveling 57 yards before stalling on the BC eight, from where Dave Aucoin kicked a field goal to narrow the margin to 12-9. Three plays after receiving the next kickoff, Leo Smith, who had a marvelous day running the ball for the Eagles, sped 64 yards for a touchdown after taking a pitchout, cutting against the grain, bouncing off two tac-klers, breaking clear and speeding into the left corner of the end zone.

Cooper kicked a 21-yard field goal as the third period ended to make it 22-9. Smith piled up 114 yards but Conway did even better with 177 as the Eagles collected a total of 405 yards on the ground. Yet the big hero was Budness, who intercepted three passes, recovered two fumbles, blocked an Army extra-point try, and was in on a pile of tackles. Following Palazola's second-quarter fumble at the Army goal, John Loughery played the rest of the game at quarterback for BC. But the Eagles threw only one pass in the second half as Loughery had only to hand the ball off and let his backs run through big holes.

By Jack Craig Globe Staff WEST POINT, N.Y.-"You can't beat the feeling," said Boston College linebacker Jim Budness as he tightly hugged the game ball. "Back in Boston some people called us quitters but I thing we showed them today," said a tearful coach Ed Chlebek. The Eagles had a right to scream following their 29-16 victory over Army yesterday at Michie Stadium in a game more one-sided than the score indicates. Yet BC led by only 22-16 with 11 minutes to play and was stumbling on its own nine. But Eagles promptly ground out four first downs and then Dan Conway broke off right tackle, gave the hip to one secondary defender and outraced two others for a 48-yard touchdown run that clinched the victory.

A few moments earlier, Army had gone 35 yards for a TD after a poor snap on a BC punt gave the Cadets good field position. When the Eagles fumbled the ensuing kickoff out of bounds on their nine, the most painful defeat yet of this bedeviled season seemed imminent. But the long march followed, and with it BC's second win in seven games. BC had completely dominated the first half, leading, 12-0, with the ball on the Army one late in the second quarter. But on fourth down, quarterback Jay Palazola fumbled, Army took over on its five, and following four completions narrowed the margin to 12-6 at halftime.

But Yale, a 21-point favorite, could only manage a 33-yard field goal by David Schwartz during the remainder of the half as the Penn defense held when it had to while the Quaker wishbone offense was able to move the ball up the middle against the top-ranked defense (143 yards per game allowed) in the nation. Yale got a little breathing room late in the third quarter when the Eli offense, which has had its problems this season, gave the Quakers an 85-yard, 17-play lesson in ball control. Dunn, a strong runner who is now showing his stuff as a passer, led the way on this drive, mixing runs by himself, tailback Ken Hill and fullback Mike Sullivan as he got the Elis to the Penn three. Dunn put the final touch on the drive with a keeper to the right that made the score 17-0. Yale put the game on ice one drive later as monster-back Dave Novosel pounced on a Marzonie fumble at the Penn 38.

With a comfortable 24-point lead, Yale was looking for its third shutout in four games. But Penn would not cooperate. The Quakers, who ran their first series without a huddle and used trick snaps in an attempt to catch the Yale defense off guard, finally succeeded by taking their time. Marzonie engineered the drive with passes to end Jerry Smith and backs Ron Gray and Phil Brodsky before taking it in himself from the Yale eight. But it was little consolation for Penn.

Special to The Globe In a battle of the Ivy League's haves and have-nots, Yale kept its record unblemished with a 24-6 victory over winless Pennsylvania yesterday at Yale Bowl. Yale, now 6-0 (4-0 in the league), displayed a steady offense and solid defense but couldn't put the victory away until late in the third quarter. Penn, now 0-6 (0-4 in the Ivy), put up a stronger battle than had been expected. The Bulldog attack was led by senior quarterback Dennis Dunn, who ran for 100 yards on 17 attempts and completed six passes for 62 yards. Dunn opened the scoring on Yale's second possession of the game by outrunning the Penn secondary on a 30-yard keeper to the left side, capping an 80-yard scoring drive.

BURLINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS I Located at Routes 3 128 Exit 42 opposite to Burlington Mall Solomon surfaces, steers HC over Brown SNOWBLOWERS IU1 Daii-' junior varsity. However, his biggest claim to fame has been as a baseball player. A third baseman for three years, Solomon led the Crusaders in batting with a .380 average last season. Solomon played at Dartmouth High as a quarterback under former HC player and coach Carlin Lynch. He had earned nine varsity letters in high school.

The game itself was dominated by the defenses and at times it became boring as the punt came into vogue. The teams exchanged touchdowns in the first quarter. Holy Cross got on the board first at 8:56 when freshman Doug Pietrick scored from the two to climax an eight-play, 56-yard drive. Three big plays in the march were an 18-yard pass from Solomon to Johnson, a 15-yard run by Larry Ewald and a 12-yard completion from Solomon to Mike Redding that put the ball on the Brown five. Matt Michaud kicked his first of two extra points.

Brown (4-3 scored at 14:22 of the first period when hard-working Marty Moran banged through right tackle from six yards out to cli max a 12-play, 94-yard drive. The big play in the Bruins' drive was a 29-yard pass from Larry Carbone to Mitch Metz that carried to the Crusader six. But Solomon salvaged the game. It only took HC three plays to score the winning points after the Crusaders got the ball on their 43. Solomon began things with a 28-yard pass to John Ahem, and two plays later he came up with the big one.

Johnson, who had 10 receptions for 162 yards, ran a down-and-out pattern and kept going. Solomon hit him in stride and that was it. Brown came close to scoring with two seconds left, but on the last play of the game a Carbone pass bounced off Steve Jordan's chest on the HC two-yard line. Had he caught it, Jordan probably would have fallen into the end zone. "Neil did everything we expected from him," Wheelwright said.

We're very pleased with him. He handled himself nicely and he came through with the big play when we needed it." But for Holy Cross, it meant going from mothballs to riches and a very big win. By Bob Monahan Globe Staff WORCESTER Holy Cross coach Neil Wheelwright pulled senior quarterback Neil Solomon out of mothballs yesterday, and Solomon gave the freezing crowd of 10,011 at Fitton Field something to remember when he completed a 58-yard scoring pass to fleet Phil Johnson with 1:33 remaining, lifting the Crusaders to a 14-7 upset over Brown. HC (3-4) has been plagued by quarterback problems. Starter Dave Boisture is sidelined with a pulled hamstring, and backups Dave Murphy and Joe LeMay have not put enough points on the board.

Enter Solomon. Wheelwright worked Solomon all week jn closed practice sessions and word about the new QB didn't leak out until shortly before game time. Solomon's name wasn't even listed in the program. Solomon was making his first varsity start, adding to the drama. The last time he played was two years ago against Villanova.
