I 60 The Boston Sunday Globe September 18, 1983 Brown ets i I larvaird. C7 hang the bounces 4y' 7 3 4 Hit By Joe Concannon Globe Staff NEW HAVEN This was a comeback out of -the Yale playbook that surely would have been a victory in those glory years of recent times, right? The touchdown with 2:47 to go to cut the deficit to two points, then taking the ball back and striking out from 87 yards away with the veteran field-goal kicker warming up. This was the tableau in Yale Bowl. There would be no storybook ending for Yale, however, because this is 1983. The ending was punctuated instead by a Brown cornerback named Scott Schultz, who was on the receiving end of Yale sophomore quarterback Mike Cur-tin's last-gasp pass inside the Brown 40 with 21 seconds to go yesterday, and, when Schultz returned it to the Yale 39, time ran out and Brown had a 26-24 triumph, its first win in Yale Bowl in 20 years.

"I bobbled it for a second." said Schultz. "I almost had a heart attack. We were in zone coverage. I was thinking about intercepting the ball, closing the game out. He (Yale's Roger Ja-vens) was running a post.

He (Curtin) just overthrew it. This was the moment I was waiting for for four years. I feel like retiring." This was an unfortunate way for Curtin to leave the field, be-Brown, 26-24 cause he had entered miNHm the game in relief of Brownd-oi 3- starter Mike Luzzi "V-1(L2 and backup Israel Ro-k sales and became the hSf principal architect of the reversal.

With 14:30 left in the first quarter.i-O Villaneuva (the son of former Dak las Cowboy kicker Dan Villanueva) kicked the first of the three field goals that, added to his four points, left him with 118 career points and made him Harvard's all-time kick-scoring leader (he's fourth among Crimson career scorers).

Villanueva's first effort, a 43-yarder, gave Harvard a 10-0 lead; his second was a 45-yarder (fourth longest in Harvard history) made it 13-0. Si Columbia closed to 13-7 on Witkowski's pass to tight end Dan Up- A perco, but the team was clearly in trouble trying to run. Harvard made It 19-7 on Robert Santiago's 5-yard scoot after a 71-yard drive, and 26-7 on Vignall's memorable' catch. And that wasn't the end for Vignali. He took the second-half kick-- off 89 yards for a touchdown and a 33-7 lead when he saw a hole open behind Sam Jensen.

By the time wingback Will Sa-leeby scored to increase Harvard's lead to 43-14, Naso was thinking about what he'd say to the press. "I just hope we don't get into that 'Columbia said Naso, who added that when student-athletes read negative game 1 stories for 20 years, "They start to believe them." By Lesley Visser Globe Staff There was a sense of relief, even giddiness, as the quarterback, the running back and possibly the best kicker in Harvard history sat in adjacent chairs yesterday and described how they (with the help of an established defense) knocked down Columbia and the best quarterback in the Ivy League, 43-14. "It was important that our receivers play well and that our defense stop Columbia on the first drive," said quarterback Armond Colombo, the senior who sounded as though he'd started for four years but who threw his first collegiate pass yesterday. One of Colombo's completions (he was 11 of 17 for 164 yards and one touchdown with an interception) landed in the hands of halfback Mark Vignali, but not until it bounced through the arms and off the helmet of Columbia's tlenry Santos. "I told Chuck in the huddle that no one was picking me up," said Vignali, who scored on the play, as the first half ended.

"When I saw the guy go for the ball, I cut back to try and stop him. Then I saw it bounce, and it rolled off his helmet into my hands." It was the play that crushed Columbia coach Bob Naso. "We wanted to go to our running game," said Naso, whose Lions have now lost five straight to Harvard, "but, after that, we were too far behind to pick away on the ground." The Lions showed flashes of a splendid air attack, but offered no glitter on the ground. They finished i with an embarrassing eight yards rushing. After marching 73 yards on their first drive, led by quarterback John Witkowski (30 of 58 for 368 yards, 2 touchdowns, 1 interception), Columbia failed to score from the 2 on second down.

The fifth-year engineering student signalled his return with a 14-yard smash over right tackle to initiate Dartmouth's first scoring drive of 75 yards. Then Lena's blocking helped Weissman cap the march with a 7-yard sweep of right end. Weissman also broke away for 47 yards to the Tiger 26 just before halftime. But sophomore Craig Saltzgaber missed his second field-goal attempt of the half, a 28-yarder.

Early in the second half, Weissman swept -right end for 14 and Lena broke over the left side for 18 to the Princeton 23. Then Tiger defender Jim Anderson committed flagrant pass interference on wide receiver Matty Lopes In the end zone to set up Weissman's 1-yard leap over left guard. Again in the fourth quarter, Princeton safety Eric Robinson interfered with Jack Daly on a perfect Frank Poisinello pitch of 20 yards. And again Weissman hurdled the Tiger line for the final touchdown. Brad Mccautey.

The Bruins broke on top, 17-0, in the opening quarter as seasoned quarterback Mike Potter established control on a 13-play, 80-yard drive to take a quick 7-0 lead on a 1-yard burst by Steve Heffernan. Greg Hausler's Interception of a Luzzi pass and 40-yard return to the Yale 17 set up touchdown No. 2.: i'. After Potter ran it 11 yards to the 9 and Brown picked up one of its seven illegal-procedure penalties, Jeff Doherty cut through a gaping hole and scampered 14 yards for the touchdown.

Before the period was over, the Bruins were on the move again and John Gallander kicked a 45-yard field goal for the 17-0 edge. Potter, who moved from defensive back to starting quarterback last season, may be the Ivy League's most versatile quarterback. He completed 16 of 27 for 133 yards (two interceptions) and ran 18 times for 125 yards as Brown had a 217-61 edge on the ground. Yale took control of the second quarter, scoring on a 27-yard Bill Moore field goal 1:51 into the period, and cut the deficit to 17-10 on a 2-yard run by John Bassette. The Bruins re-grpuped, with Potter racing 27 yards on a quarterback draw to the 24 and Doherty eventually taking it the final 9 yards for a 23-10 lead.

Princeton nemesis Rich Weissman again performed sensationally as Dartmouth opened with a 21-3 triumph over the Tigers yesterday. In last year's final game, the 190-pound tailback gained 174 yards and scored two touchdowns against Princeton to give the Big Green a share of the Ivy League crown. Yesterday, the Sudbury junior ran for 125 yards on a soaked and slippery field and scored all three of Dartmouth's touchdowns.

Princeton condensed most of its offense into the second quarter, holding the ball for over 11 minutes and gaining more than half of its 201-yard total. But the Tigers had to settle for Mike Mi-kovsky's 30-yard field goal after a motion penalty nullified a first down on the Dartmouth 4. Two end-zone pass interference penalties and the return of squat fullback Rich Lena contributed to Weissman's scoring spree.
