which slipped away when an official gave the Quakers a second chance after a- missed field goal. "We'd won." said Harvard defensive end Mark Meade. "It ItS to to! The call that shouldn't have been made." With the emotional flashbacks to last year's 23-21 defeat in Franklin Field serving as the launching pad. Harvard stormed to an overwhelming 28-0 victory over Penn yesterday on a frigid, dark and windy afternoon in Harvard Stadium. All of a sudden, this team that seemed out of the Ivy League picture after a shaky 1-1-1 start is on the threshold of a tie for first or even a championship.

Thanks to Brown's 25-7 victory over Dartmouth yesterday, there is a three-way tie for first place among Harvard. Dartmouth and Penn. Each is 4-1-1 entering the final weekend, during which Harvard plays Yale in the 100th edition of The Game in New Haven, and Dartmouth is at Penn. Should Harvard win and the latter two tie. Harvard would win the title outright.

This was a showpiece performance played out in an icy wind tunnel, and the unlikeliest hero of all was a sophomore kicker named Rob Steinberg, who replaced injured Jim Villanueva and not only punted four times for a 46.8 yard average but kicked the first one out of bounds at the 2. saw the second downed at the 2. saw his third returned 2 yards to the 12 and boomed the WE WILL I 1 5 SELL YOU; 4 5 TV 0- :18 MJCHS!

CALL Dial a Car (617)244-1103 I ji is By Ernie Roberts Special to The Globe HANOVER. N.H. From the uproar inside Memorial Field yesterday, a stranger outside would have suspected that Dartmouth was whipping Brown. But the 8483 well-bundled spectators merely were cheering reports from a game 150 miles away, where Harvard was defeating Ivy League leader Penn. 28-0.

That result managed to keep Dartmouth alive in the league race, the only Big Green consolation during Its decisive 25-7 defeat by resurgent Brown. This was Brown coach John Anderson's first victory In six confrontations with his former BC boss and benefactor Joe Yuklca. And now the Ivy race Is snarled In a three-way tie, Harvard, Dartmouth and Penn all at 4-1-1, the latter two meeting in Philadelphia and the Crimson playing Yale in concluding action next Saturday. Brown heroes were legion. Including Need-ham fullback Steve Heffernan (22 carries for 127 yards), placekicker Chris Ingerslev (who reported late after varsity soccer duty and then kicked four field goals) and defenders Chris Alderman.

Dennis Slott. Pete Gundermann and Bill Kramer (who sacked and intercepted quarterback Frank Polsinello to kill late Dartmouth, challenges). But the key Bruin was oft-maligned senior quarterback Joe Potter, who threw for Brown's first TD, scored the second, did double duty at tailback and choreographed a 94-yard scoring march to break open a close contest in the third quarter. "It showed us our potential, that we could be a good team despite our record (now 3-5-1). "Gee," added Potter with a slight smile, "if only we could have played our second game of the season against Penn State instead of Rhode Island." The new Bruin look was evident early.

On the first possession Potter, took his troops 67 yards in five plays. He and 155-pound Jamie Potkul ran It to Dartmouth's 17. After a motion penalty. Potter's first aerial was a 22-yard scoring toss to split end Brad McCaulley, who beat Dan Carson to the right corner. Polsinello.

who established four Dartmouth season or career passing marks during the" afternoon, brought the Green back into contention at 9-7 with an exemplary 76-yard drive. He completed four pitches for 63 yards en route. In CALL 7 DAYS A WEEK MON. FRI. 9-9, SAT.

"I found out (Friday) for sure I was kicking," said Steinberg. "I was just kicking away from people. I woke up, saw the cold and wind and said, 'Perfect.

Somebody's testing me a This was a team effort, however, a game that belonged to an aroused Harvard defense that permitted the Quakers to cross midfield just three times in all and just twice on drives. This was a game that belonged to the Harvard offensive line that manhandled the Quakers, a game that saw Greg Gizzi complete 9 of 14 for 117 244 Dudley Road Newton, MA 02159 Need a good used car? Call us! yards in these gale-like winds and the resolute Steve Ernst gain 115 yards on 24 carries and catch four passes for 44 yards. "They beat us in a way I didn't think we could be beaten," said Penn coach Jerry Berndt. "They out-hit us, out-caught us, out-blocked us and out-coached us. Coming in, I thought it was going to be a pretty even game.

But they dominated both sides of the ball. They dominated the game." Penn's only sustained drive came early, starting at its own 2 and ending with a missed Shulman field goal bid from the Harvard 17. "It showed us we were capable of moving the ball," said Berndt. But from that point until time ran out. the defense that had preserved the tie last week against Holy Cross simply bottled up Penn and kept the visitors' offensive production to 105 yards after that first drive.

"That was a very sweet win for me," Restic told his team in the joyous Dillon Field House locker room. "That wiped the last one right off the books."
