umos Harvard COLONIAL LEAGUE fifth straight victory yesterday in blustery Brown Stadium. Conf.

He carried 34 times for 150 yards and, fcr the second straight week, four touchdowns as the Crusaders beat Brown, 35-14, to register their 10th straight triumph against Ivy League opposition and solidify their position as one of the nation's top Division 1-A teams in this first season without Gordie Lockbaum. The 0-5-1 Bruins lost quarterback Danny Clark on their second play and came out of the first half with zero passing yards and just three first downs.

Senior backup Dan Rukamp (5 of 1 1 for 62 yards) didn't complete his first pass until 1 1 :30 of the third quarter. "When we lost Clark, it was a substantial factor," said Brown coach John Rosenberg. "I felt going in this was going to be a competitive game." It wasn't. Segreti, a 5-foot-10-inch, 195-pound sophomore out of Pinkerton Academy and Derry, N.H., who earned his starting berth when Willie Bradford was lost for the season with a knee injury Sept. 17 against Lafayette, enabled the Crusaders to hang on to the football as he carried on 34 of the team's 53 rushing plays.

"He's got great skills," said Holy Cross coach Mark Duffner. "He's come fast the last three or four weeks. All good backs want the football." The Crusaders stamped their imprimatur on this game in a dominating first half as they opened up a 22-0 lead and completely blunted Brown's feeble offensive unit. The Bruins didn't pick up their initial first down until 3:08 of the second period, managed just three in the first 30 minutes and saw their sole scoring opportunity go by the boards when Lane Wood fumbled the ball out of Princeton, 23-8 at Princeton, N.J.

The Crusaders converted twice on fourth-and-short situations in the early stages of the game, but didn't convert either into points-They broke through on their thirds possession when Segreti rambled" 23 yards over right tackle and Sean Keegan converted for a 7-0 lead at 10:35. 4 Rukamp, whose total-offense figures added up to 1 yard in sparse duty this season, came in Just three plays into the game when Clark went to the sidelines with a sprained ankle that makes him questionable for next week's game at Harvard. Rukamp was greeted In the end zone by Darrin Darrlngton on a third-and-8 play that originated on his own 8.

The resulting safety lifted the Crusad: ers to a 9-0 lead. s' Segreti, who ran for 159 yards two weeks ago against Dartmouth and 214 and four touchdowns last week against Lehigh, scored his second touchdown 1:35 into the second quarter from 2 yards. It was set up by Jeff Wiley's 21 -yard pass to Darin Cromwell for a first down at the 2. The Crusaders, who are 7-0-1 against the Bruins in this decade, kept the pressure on the belea-guered Rukamp, and he fumbled the ball away when Ernie Garling-ton hit him behind the line in his own territory, and Tim Kreimer recovered at the 19. Segreti ran to the 1, then lugged it into the end zone on the next play.

The Crusaders left the field with a 22-0 lead and were never headed.

Frustrating." Harvard, which turned over the ball five times, didn't get inside the Princeton 38 until the fourth quarter. In the third, it ran only 10 plays, including two interceptions, a fumbled snap, a sack, two incompletions and a punt. For the Tigers, who'd lost to Columbia and sweated out narrow victories over winless Brown and Bucknell teams, this qualified as a wondrous afternoon. "It's never easy and it's not pretty this year," said Tosches, whose varsity hosts unbeaten Pennsylvania next week. "But we're still in the thick of it.

We still have everything in front of us." Not so Harvard, which now has virtually no chance of defending its Ivy title. After going 8-2 last year, the Crimson are now off to their worst start (1-5) since 1979, and need to win the rest of their games (Brown, Boston University, Penn, Yale) to break even. "We're disappointed, no question," said Restic, who's now beaten Princeton only seven times in 18 games. "But we're not packing it in. If you come out and watch our kids work Monday, you won't see a change.

"Offensively, we lacked a killer instinct today," conceded Princeton coach Steve Tosches. "That's what forced it to be a struggle to the end." As it was, Princeton hung up all of its points before Harvard got on the board 1 1:42 from the finish when Tom Yohe found Hinz for a 17-yard touchdown pass.

For a brief moment, when the Crimson drove to the Princeton 13 with two minutes left, they had a chance to make it interesting. But Yohe's flip to Hinz fell awry, and it was done. "I thought Harvard was out of sync all day," said Tosches, whose people came close to knocking off the Crimson at Soldiers Field last year. "Maybe they feel they've been that way all year. Last year, they were much more impressive." This year, the Crimson offense has dwindled to nothing.

They managed only 36 yards rushing yesterday and Yohe, the Ivy League's best quarterback last season, struggled. While he did throw for 285 yards, he was also picked off twice in a row in the third quarter deep in his own ter- ritory. "Our defense did a commendable job," said Restic. "But we'd MARK JOHNSON Held in check Andy Bednar's 41 -yard field-goal attempt was wide right. On the next series, Cornell did a better job of finishing, as fullback Scott Malaga ended a nine-play, 60-yard drive with four straight carries and finally went over from the 1.

As the first half wound down, Cornell was moving again. But the Big Red settled for a 25-yard field goal from Bednar. Cornell continued to roll after Intermission, with Malaga (34 car-, ries, 117 yards) giving Baughan the ground game he had envisioned. Sumida widened the lead to 17-0 with a 40-yard touchdown strike to Frank Monago to open the third quarter. The key play came when Cornell lined up to punt at Its own 34 and Dartmouth was penalized 15 yards for having too many men on the field.

Dartmouth escaped further damage when Corky Webb's 87-yard Interception return was called back on a roughlng-the-passcr penalty. Johnson capitalized on the opening, finding tight end Chris Keck for a 4-yard scoring toss with 6:56 left in the third quarter.

After Harvard back Tony Hinz fumbled on the next play, Judd Garrett dashed untouched 26 yards for his first of two touchdowns, and that was that.

By halftime, trailing, 17-0, the Crimson had fumbled thrice, been penalized eight times and had been held to 109 yards. Had Garrett not fumbled on the Harvard 1 "We're the type of team, if we get into a scoring position, we have to come up with points," said Dartmouth coach Buddy Tee-vens. "We've got to play an error-free game and execute."

When Cornell coach Maxie Baughan woke up yesterday and heard rain, he made a strange wish. "I was hoping it would slcct and snow, but it didn't," said Baughan, who knew that unfavorable weather might ground Dartmouth's vaunted air attack. "We were hoping to run the football." The weather cleared, but nevertheless Cornell overcame a slow start and scored on four straight possessions to take a 24-7 victory over the Big Green. Dartmouth's lethal combination of quarterback Mark Johnson and receiver Craig Morton was held in check. It was the Cornell defense that Dartmouth had trouble weathering.

"We doubled Morton quite a bit on zone coverages," said Baughan. "I don't think it was an accident." And it wasn't for a lack of effort by Johnson, who set a Dartmouth record with 53 passing attempts and finished with 269 yards passing. He Just, couldn't click with his favorite long threat.
