If the Bruins' power play (4 for 9 in two games) was something out of a Terry O'Reilly dream, then it's better that he doesn't awaken until June. But, Ray Bourque, now, he's no dream. He's real. "He never has bad game," said coach Larry Pleau of the Whalers. He should have added that Bourque only has varying degrees of good games.

"It was Ray's usual game ()f quarterbacking," said O'Reilly, Last night was one of Bour-que's best. He had four assists, reaching the 700-point careqr mark, and led the Bruins to crushing 6-2 victory over the Whalers. "You're an said teammate Cam Neely. Bourque didn't know he was member of the 700 club "until someone told me in the he said. "I didn't know I was tht close.

But, I think I've got a lot of points left in me, and I hope fo stay healthy and play until I'm 36 or 37." That would bring hiih close to a 20-year career. Despite all the fun of a fouii-goal first period that developed of the Bruins' working ethic, there was a sobering note. Michael Thej-ven became the second defense-man the Bruins have lost in twp games. He went out in the second period with a charley horse thajt was originally feared to be hypeij-extension of his left knee. two-point conversion at the 7:42 juncture to tie the game at 17-17.

An errant snap by Ray O'Hare on Harvard's next possession went over the head of punter Alan Hall, who kicked it out of the end zone for the winning two points. This was hauntingly familiar to another Ivy League game played between these two teams 12 years ago in similar conditions. In that game. Big Red punter Dave Johnson saw the snap go over his head. He picked it up in the mud and ran It 75 yards for a 9-3 victory.

"The kicking game is like offense and defense," said Harvard coach Joe Restic. "If you get in a close game and don't do it, you're going to lose. It's just too bad. We had field position and we were going to punt the ball. We gave them two points and they have field position." "You come to Cambridge and you win and you feel good," said Cornell coach Maxie Baughan.

"We beat a Associated Press NEW YORK Columbia football fans tore down the goalposts, smeared themselves with mud and exulted in cold, damp weather yesterday after the Lions ended a five-year winning drought with a 16-13 victory over Princeton. Fans endured rain and 43-de-gree temperatures to watch Columbia break a 44-game losing streak, the longest in major college history. Solomon Johnson's 2-yard scoring run with 5:13 to play was the difference, but the game was far from over. In fact, it looked like loss No. 45 when Princeton apparently scored on Judd Garrett's 22-yard run.

But the TD was nullifed by a penalty. A Princeton 48-yard field goal attempt on the game's final play was short. team like this and it gives us confidence. Weather like this affected them and it affected us. We were trying to block the first punt and we might have.

We were trying to block the second one.

Just to gain their attention.

"They don't think, these coaches," he complains. "You just wonder, why the hell don't they think? Think!" But he does not want to be a monster about this. "I might sound like a griper to you," Doc Storey says, "but you must understand. I've been watching these things a long time." It is generally believed that Doc Storey is the greatest living authority on punting. The New York Times said this, so it is true.

Not that we're arguing. Doc Storey began teaching men how to use their feet in football more than 55 years ago. Mathematically, each of Doc Storey's feet is worth more than 27 years of kicking experience. He knows more in his little toe than a lot of these coaches on his TV screen. Doc had already quit his first job with Western Union and was teaching at a private school on Cape Cod when he began coaching in 1932.

"If I was going to coach," he says, "I figured I'd better know the human body." That is the basis for his title. Dr. Storey became friends with a punter named LeRoy Mills, who in his 60s could stand beyond midfield and put it out of bounds inside the 5-yard line, as witnessed by the New York Giants at a practice. Storey looks like Yoda might have in real life. He says he is 5 feet 3 inches, but he can't be that tall, and at 87 he has trouble moving since undergoing surgery last year, He weighed 185 pounds when he played halfback for Temple's first football team.

It must have been difficult to tackle a lunchbox on legs, but Storey's dimensions could not have helped his kicking. "I was fair," he says. "Not great." But he knows the human body, and has insight to the mind. Kickers are a delicate piece of machinery. In the right hands, they can be lethal.
