Firm New Hampshire's 20-19 victory over Con "He got his bell rung," coach Bill Bowes said of Stayer. "When he turned the wrong way on a play to Lee McClinton we knew something was wrong." Even so, Stayer led the Wildcats into scoring position only to have a touchdown run by Avrom Smith nullified by a holding penalty and a Jon Curry field goal attempt blocked. The Wildcats, who improved to 3-0 overall and 2-0 in the Yankee Conference, overcame several obstacles against UConn (1-3, 1-1).

On their first drive, they had a 1 7-yard blocking-below-the-waist penalty, an illegal procedure penalty and, finally, a blocking-from-behind penalty that nullified a touchdown pass. Three plays after the touchdown was negated, Smith gained 2 yards on fourth and 1. Two plays later, Mike Allan dropped a pass in the end zone under duress from Mike Holland, but on the next play, Stayer lobbed a pass to Tamulski, who scored while sandwiched between two defenders. UNH was 4 for 5 on fourth-down conversions; the Wildcats gained 10 yards on four running plays and scored on Stayer's pass to Jones. "If it's fourth and 1 or 2 near the 30 we are going to go for it," Bowes said.

"If you punt it most of the time it is going to go in the end zone, so you are only gaining 10 or 12 yards. So you might as well go for it We have a big line and backs to block." However, UNH could not put the game away until a low snap on UConn's final extra-point try led to the kick being blocked; then, following a successful onside kick, Joe Walker recovered an Ed Long fumble at the UNH 44. At that point, Batchelder replaced Stayer. He made three han-doffs, then the UNH defense held off four desperation passes by Bailey. necticut yesterday could not have had a much more dramatic conclusion.

But you would not know it by conversing with the Wildcats' Jim Stayer. Stayer, who threw two touchdown passes, left the game with a concussion in the fourth quarter. He could not recall his 2-yard gain on a fourth-and-1 quarterback sneak on UNH's second-to-last possession, nor the blocked extra point following an 80-yard touchdown pass from Brandon Bailey to Monte Nowden that let UConn cut its deficit to 1 with 2:43 remaining in the game. "I remember bits and pieces," Stayer said. "I remember the two touchdowns, and that's it" Stayer threw touchdown passes of 14 yards to Jeff Tamulski and 27 yards to Calvin Jones as the Wildcats took a 20-6 lead.

But the Wildcats' situation changed drastically after UConn rallied within 20-13 on a 4-yard scoring pass from Bailey to Brian Reid with 12:38 remaining in the game. First, a clipping penalty nullified a kickoff return for a touchdown. Four plays later on a fourth-and-6 Stayer was hit in the head during a 4-yard gain. After that, he was not fully conscious, though he soon reentered the game following Jim Con-cannon's second interception, and even gained an important first down on fourth and 1. "The only thing I remember is rolling out and cutting up inside, and that's it," Stayer said.

They made a lot By Joe Concannon GLOBE STAFF ASSOCIATED PRESS Bob Nelson ran for 117 yards, including a 64-yard touchdown, and Yale scored its most points in 71 games, as the Elis beat Holy Cross, 47-22, yesterday at New Haven. Yale (2-0, 1-0), which hadn't been as productive on of- fense since a 47-0 shutout against Columbia in October rOUndlip 1986, outgained Holy Cross, 461-379, including 258 rushing yards. It was the third straight lopsided loss for Holy Cross (0-3), which had given up 936 yards and was outscored, 81-3, in its first two games against Army and Massachusetts. Nelson, held to 2 yards rushing in the first half, gave the Elis a 33-10 lead with his long run up the middle, the second of three third-quarter touchdowns as Yale opened a 40-10 lead. Columbia 28, Lehigh 28 Jamie Schwalbie completed a 26-yard fourth-down touchdown pass to Justin Fossbender with 12 seconds left at Bethlehem, giving Columbia the draw.

A last-second extra-point attempt was blocked, giving Columbia its first tie in 11 years. Columbia quarterback Mike Cavanaugh ran for 110 yards and three TDs. Bob Aylsworth's 40-yard touchdown pass to Brian Klingerman put the Engi of big plays, as opposed to just chipping away at us. We, contributed to the ugly score, but they were just a better 7 team." The table was set early when Bucknell seized a 15-0 lead in the first quarter. Glus lobbed a 22-yard scoring pass over the Crimson defenders to former quarterback Mark Gentile at 9:34, and after John Henry intercepted Harvard quarterback Vin Ferrara (13 of 30, 167 yards) at his 32, Glus threw 21 yards to Gentile 1:58 later to set the runaway in high gear.

Ferrara, who had rescued the Crimson against Co-, lumbia, hit William Newell (his first varsity reception), with a 24-yard touchdown pass six seconds into the 7" ond quarter. But Glus responded with touchdown tosses of 54 yards to Sakowski and 46 yards to Steve Noteboom to build the lead to 28-7 before Ferrara ran it in from 2 yards out before the half. The game was decided early in the second half. Sa-, kowski, who had 83 yards receiving on just two tions, fumbled the kickoff and Jess Brown recovered at ,4 the Bison 23. "I couldn't believe I lost it," said Sakowski, But the Crimson failed to capitalize and settled for a 40-! yard Patrick Hannon field goal.

But Bucknell answered immediately, as Glus threw his fifth touchdown pass, this one to tight end Ted Stover, two plays later for a 35-17 lead. "The first three touchdown passes was just a mat-, 7 ter of the defense giving us something and we called the play to take advantage of it," said Glus, a senior from, ir'" 7 McKeesport, Pa. "It was just a matter of execution. It was just a question of people finding the holes. It's never easy.

You have to execute. You have to make plays. It's nice to get out to that big a lead. I wish we could have put it away a little bit more." lyjyypj The rude awakening took place yes-rjpS "tj terday in Harvard Stadium, when new LUtiLiilLsl Crimson coach Tim Murphy had his home debut tarnished by a quarterback named Rob Glus, a running back named Rich Lemon and a defense that was hurting. Those factors combined for a 42-23 Bucknell win that sent the visitors back to Lewisburg, with a 2-1 record and left Harvard (1-1) reeling after struggling to a 39-32 comeback win at Columbia in the season opener last Saturday.

Because the Crimson were erratic defensively, the Bisons' Glus completed 14 of 17 passes for 257 yards and a school-record five touchdowns. Lemon ran 28 times for 187 yards and one touchdown and wide receiver John Sakowski recovered from a potentially costly fumble to start the third quarter by hauling in a 29-yard pass to set up a defining touchdown. "You can't let people get vertical on you downfield," said Harvard captainlinebacker Ed Kinney. "You can't let people just throw over your head. That opened it up for them to come underneath and let their tailback get loose." This was a big win for Bucknell, whose team once lost, 59-0, in the Stadium in the Crimson's glory year of 1968.

"We had an effort that was truly a team effort," said coach Lou Maranzana, whose last appearance in Harvard Stadium was as a defensive coach at Dartmouth in 1981, when his alma mater won, 24-10. "We were fortunate that we had some outstanding execution on the big plays." Said Murphy, "We were outplayed in all areas. We were whipped real good. They had much more skill. Dartmouth pinned by Penn's defense By Allen Lessels GLOBE STAFF neers in front, 28-22, with 1:01 left in the game.

The 73-yard drive included three fourth-down conversions. Brown 32, URI 29 Bob Warden's 28-yard field goal with 4 seconds remaining gave Brown the win over host Rhode Island of the Yankee Conference. Warden's field goal came after Rhode Island (2-2) rallied from a 15-point deficit After a 7-7 first quarter, Brown built a 22-7 lead by halftime, with a 1-yard keeper by quarterback Jason McCullough providing the 15-point margin at intermission. But Rhode Island came back on three touchdown passes by Chris Hixson to Bobby Apgar. The first, a 50-yarder, pulled Rhode Island within 22-15.

Princeton 29, Colgate 3 Darron Webb scored on two short runs and Brock Harvey kick blocker, knocked down a Geoff Willison ex tra-point attempt early in the fourth quarter. Rir -hi ley had his first touchdown pass and Brian Ra-dicks his first collegiate reception, covering 10 yards, to make it 13-9 with 11:22 left. Juliano'sj blocked conversion meant Dartmouth couldn't tie with a field goal. HANOVER, N.H. Pete Oberle, Dartmouth College's bulldog of a tailback, saw an in Dartmouth squandered several scoring chances in the first half.

Riley was intercepted twice inside the Penn 30 and Willison was wide left on a 37-yard field goal attempt decision a little early." Goodwillie, coming from the other side, made the stop. "I was free on the said Goodwillie. "I'm unblocked so I guess I'm supposed to make that play." It was the second straight key stop by a Quaker linebacker. On the previous play, Dartmouth quarterback Ren Riley rolled left on the option and was stopped at the 1 by Kevin DeLuca, who had 19 tackles. "We had some opportunities to win the ball-game but made mistakes that hurt us on both sides of the ball," said Dartmouth coach John Lyons.

"It's frustrating to see the kids work that hard and not get the results." Dartmouth's defense dominated the second half, allowing Penn (2-0) only 45 yards. Dartmouth (0-2) outgained Penn, 246-189. "You've got to make the plays and we made them when we needed them," said Penn coach Al Bagnoli. That the Quakers did. Dartmouth used up more than six minutes in its last drive before Penn came up big.

Michael Juliano, Penn's designated Igaper and opening inside. And went for it. Unfortunately for the Big Green and Oberle, Penn linebacker Pat Goodwillie filled the hole as quickly as it had opened and stuffed Oberle on fourth down less than a yard from the Penn goal line with a minute left. Gaining possession, Penn called three safe running plays, took an intentional safety and then survived a final Dartmouth pass to escape Memorial Field with a 13-11 win in the Ivy league opener for both teams yesterday. "It was a rough finish," Oberle said.

"We really felt good about our performance, but once again we were a little inept, if that's the right word, inside our 20." The fourth-down play, Oberle said, was designed to go outside the end. "But I saw a little opening and decided to cut it up," he said. "It looked a little like the outside might be closing off.

The Green finally got on the board with a 20-yard Willison field goal early in the third period.

That came after another Green drive came up'' short of a touchdown. Dartmouth, behind the run-'' ning of Oberle, had first and goal at the Penn 7 but couldn't score. Penn's Andy Glockner answered Willison's, field goal with a 44-yarder to push the lead back to 13-3. Oberle finished with 109 yards on 32 while Penn's All-Ivy running back, Terrance Stokes, was held to 76 yards on 28 carries.
