63 Ivy LeaguePatriot League -v. THE BOSTON SUNDAY GLOBE NOVEMBER 4, 1990 Holy Cross rocks Bmcknell for its milestone 5th I Coirf. All Holy Cross 3-0-0 7-1-1 Lehigh 2-1-0 7-2-0 Colgate 2-1-0 6-3-0 Bucknell 1-2-0 5-4-0 Lafayette 1-2-0 4-5-0 Fordham 0-3-0 1-8-0 the unseasonably warm weather in the parking lot. The tailgate parties began after the third quarter when HC held a 35-14 lead. Ciaccio sat down with 13:04 remaining and the Crusaders leading, 43-14.

It didn't take long for Holy Cross to take control. On the second possession, Lewis made a fingertip reception on a curl pattern for a 36-yard touchdown. On its next possession, Holy Cross made it 14-0 on another Ciaccio TD strike. This time he looked like Fran Tarkenton, scrambling in the backfield until he found Gallagher open for a 5-yard strike. The unsung hero of the play was fullback Jerome Fuller, who put a nasty block on Bucknell's Trevor Smith, giving Gallagher needed daylight.

A foolish mistake by Holy Cross a holding penalty on a Bucknell punt gave the Bison their first touchdown. Instead of Holy Cross having the ball on the 20, Bucknell maintained control, and Todd Hata-jik found Lester Erb in the end zone for a 31-yard strike. Not only did the penalty result in a Bucknell touchdown, but it took the starch out of the Crusaders, who failed to muster an attack for the remainder of the opening half. Bucknell came back on a punishing 80-yard drive to tie the score at the half, 14-14. "At halftime, we told the team not to panic," said Duffner.

"We told them to stay together. Don't beat yourself. Don't press." It worked. It was the first game this season in which the Crusaders did not turn the ball over. The Crusaders scored on their first three possessions of the second half and four of their first five.

Just 1 minute 29 seconds into the second half, Segreti scored on a 6-yard run to make it 21-14, and on HC's next possession, Segreti scored another TD, this time on a 1-yard plunge, to make it 28-14. Willie Bradford scored on a 2-yard run to make it 35-14 before the period was over, and the rout was on.

"For 95 years, this has been a great program, and it is great to just be a part pf it," said Holy Cross coach Mark Duffner. Holy Cross' unbeaten string at home is 21. The last time the Crusaders lost at Fitton was in December 1984 to Boston College.

That was the day Doug Flutie hopped on a helicopter and headed to New York to receive the Heisman Trophy. The Crusaders haven't lost a Division 1-AA contest in Worcester in 27 tries, just two short of the school record. For the 24 Crusader seniors, it wrapped up a perfect career at Fit-ton. Over their four years, Holy Cross has gone 21-0-1. They are the first group of seniors to go unbeaten at Fitton since the late 1930s, when By Paul Harber GLOBE STAFF HHMfeJ WORCESTER tft lyr The only thing LflSfflflJi ill unexpected during Holy Cross' 500th victory celebration yesterday was the weather.

What are the chances of 70-de-gree temperatures in November at the final home game of the season? The Crusaders (7-1-1 overall, 3-0 in the Patriot League) overcame a momentary pause in the second quarter and went on to beat Buck-nell, 43-14, at Fitton Field. It was the usual cast of heroes -quarterback Tom Ciaccio (19 of 29 for 259 yards, 3 TDs), primary receivers Mark Gallagher (7 catches, 70 yards, 2 TDs) and Michael Lewis (5 catches, 117 yards, 1 TD), and running back Joe Segreti (20 rushes for 100 yards and 2 TDs). The 500th victory wasn't the only milestone: Ciaccio reached 5,000 career passing second only in Holy Cross history to Jeff Wiley.

There isn't all that much grass growing down the middle of Memorial Field.

It's rather bare from one '20-yard line to the next. Against Columbia yesterday, Dartmouth showed why the ground crew is having such a chore keeping the field green. Blame it on the Big Green running game, which dashed IvyPatriot roundup Oliaro runs wild ASSOCIATED PRESS Scott Oliaro had 395 all-purpose yards and scored four touchdowns yesterday as Cornell beat Yale, 41-31, at New Haven to retain a share of first place in the Ivy League. Oliaro's 4-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter gave Cornell a 41-24 lead and set school and league single-game rushing records. He finished with 288 yards on 35 carries, breaking the mark of 281 yards set by Ed Marinaro on 40 carries against Harvard in 1969.

The victory improved the Big Red's record to 5-3 overall and 4-1 in the league, tied for "first with Dartmouth with two games remaining. The Elis, who were tied with the other two schools prior to yesterday, fell to 4-4 and 3-2. Matt Hepfer's 21-yard field goal and Tom Dutchyshyn's 9-yard touchdown run in the third quarter gave Cornell a 34-24 lead. Princeton 34, Penn 20 Princeton scored three times in the first quarter and Erick Hamilton rushed for 122 yards and three touchdowns at Princeton, J. Princeton (3-5 overall, 2-3 Ivy League) scored on its first three possessions against the Quakers (2-6, 2-3), who have dropped three straight, to take a 21-0 halftime lead.

Lehigh 52, Colgate 7 Tailback Erick Torain scored five touchdowns, four in the first half, as Lehigh (6-3, 2-1 Patriot League) defeated Colgate (6-3, 2-1) at Bethlehem, Pa. Torain's first-half scores came on runs of 1 yard and 3 yards and passes of 25 and 6. He scored again in the third, a 2-yard run, to tie school records for TDs and point in a game. Lafayette 59, Fonfham 14 -Sophomore Tom Kirchoff threw four touchdown passes, two to Dave Baird, as Lafayette (4-5, 1-2 Patriot League) beat Ford-ham (1-7, 0-3) at New York for 363 yards in beating a very stubborn Columbia team, 34-20, before 6,113 witnesses. Senior tailback Al Rosier, who had gained a reputation as being more of a blocking back than a runner, picked up a career-best 145 yards on 23 totes.

Senior fullback Shon Page, who had romped for a school-record 222 yards last week against Harvard, wasn't exactly taking the day off. He contributed 98 yards on 19 carries as Dartmouth improved to 5-2-1 'overall, 4-1 atop the Ivy League. Columbia is 1-7, 1-4. It was the last home game of the season for Buddy Teevens' troops, who will try to keep on top of the standings in wrapping up the season at Brown and Dartmouth, which threw three interceptions despite taking a 17-10 edge at intermission, decided to keep the ball on the ground in the second half. It was good strategy, as the Green gained 218 yards on 40 carries.

Teevens saw that Columbia's defense was geared to stop Page, so he called Rosier number. Rosier's previous best rushing day was 96 yards Oct. 13 against Yale. "If any team wants to key on one of our guys, we feel we have another," said Teevens with a huge grin. "Both Shon and Al have been developing over the years.

Al blocks extremely well and Shon has tremendous balance." The teams were tied at 17 early in the second half after Columbia used a Dartmouth turnover at mid-field to set up a Bruce Mayhew-to-Ken Hayes 16-yard scoring pass over the middle with just 2:31 gone. It was only the second catch of the reason for Hayes. Itiwas on the next drive that Dartmouth got its ground game in high gear. The Big Green gobbled up 65 yards on 10 plays, with reserve tailback Greg Hoffmeister taking a pitch for a twisting run down the left sideline from 13 yards out for the score. All but one of the plays on the drive was a run.

That put Dartmouth in front, 24-17, with 7:56 remaining in the third stanza. But Columbia, with the arm of quarterback Mayhew still precise, wasn't dead. The Lions closed to 4 points, 24-20, on the following drive, which covered 64 yards on 10 plays. Tom Boccafola made good on a 25-yard field goal attempt "This was the best Columbia team that we have lined up against since I've been here," said Teevens, who saw the senior Mayhew, who hails from nearby Concord, complete 16 of 37 passes for 199 yards and 2 touchowns. Dartmouth had 10 points come from sophomore placekicker Dennis Durkin, including two field goals a 42-yarder with 12 seconds remaining in the half, and a 24-yarder that increased the score to 27-20 with 6:06 remaining.

The latter was his 11th field goal of the season tying a school record. After the second field goal Dartmouth held Columbia on four plays, and pretty much settled the game when Page broke two tackles in darting through the left side for a 24-yard touchdifvn with 2:35 left Conf.

The same can be said for the summery conditions that made the tailgate parties for yesterday's 90th gridiron meeting between Harvard and Brown in Harvard Stadium so pleasant in the 70-degree weather. They almost ran out of daylight before time expired in the area's second-longest athletic competition of the autumn, a 52-37 Harvard victory.

Just the Head of the Charles regatta two weeks ago took longer. The Crimson ran up the most points in the series since the inaugural game in 1893, when they scored a 58-0 victory. This was just one week after the Crimson (5-3 overall, 3-2 in the Ivy League) were blanked, 17-0, in the mud of Dartmouth's Memorial Field, gaining a paltry 30 yards rushing. So there was cause for jubilation on the Crimson side as the 52 points were the second highest in Joe Restic's 20-year coaching career. The Crimson ran roughshod as Tom Priore started at quarterback in place of the injured Adam La-zarreYhite (wrist) and directed an option attack that gained as many yards in the first half (239) as in any complete game this season except one (Fordham).

Harvard ended up with 397 yards rushing and a total offense of 4S2 yards. Brown's Mike' Lenkaitis, whose uncle Bill played center for the Patriots, completed a school-record 30 of 55 passes for 353 yards and four touchdowns and wide receiver Rodd Torbert surpassed every Brown (1-7, 1-3) season record when he caught 11 passes for 156 yards and two touchdowns. "The game's a blur to me right now," said Brown coach Mickey Kwiatkowski. "All I know is we worked real hard for three-plus hours. We can throw the ball on anybody.

The Harvard secondary has been untested because no one wants to take the chance of getting thumped because of all that pressure. I love pressure because it makes your receivers more one on one." Restjc simply breathed a sigh of relief. "It was a tough game," he said. "It was a hard game. We controlled the ball.

They controlled the ball. We were going to put it away. We pitched the ball away. It was an odd game to coach because we had so many things happen." There were three blitzes. The Bruins scored 14 points just 1 minute 26 seconds apart in the first quarter to go from 0-10 to 14-10.

The Crimson scored 21 points 6:61 apart in the second quarter to seize a 31-14 yard kickoff return had been called -back by an illegal block. Get the idea? The Crimson nated the second quarter and scored all 21 points, starting with Johnson's i 6-yard run. Maher made a nifty dash' on a reverse as he came around from his split end position, took a pitch from Priore and shed tacklers on a 35-yard TD run. Priore finished off the third drive with a quarterback sneak, a drive that started when John Lausch recovered a fumble at the Brown 41. The Crimson took a 21-point lead" at 4:03 of the third quarter when' Kendrick Joyce went to the outside i n.

and ran behind tight end Andy Lom-baras block into the open and took 1 67 yards, making it 38-17. The Bru-! his came back for the two tiick -icores, and the beat went on..
