Just when you thought one team would end it, the other struck back. Until BU attempted to tie the game following a second-overtime touchdown that had pulled the Terriers within 1.

BU botched what became a controversial point-after try, giving UNH a 52-51 victory and the Yankee Conference championship. The win improved the Wildcats to 10-1 (8-0 conference), setting a UNH record for most wins in a season. with Northeastern's 9-6 upset of James Madi-: BU-UNH, Page 59 West Virginia win puts a kink in Eagles' plans By Michael Vega GLOBE STAFF "EMMA!

Harvard-Yale today is kind of like a 1994 debutante ball the only people who still care are the people directly involved. There's no longer any broad-based interest in the football teams from Cambridge and New Haven. But nobody else in the land has an event with the tradition and purity that still exists at the SHAUGHNESSY, Page 64 YESTERDAY, there were big games all around the country and all around Boston: games where major rankings, league titles, and bowls were at stake; games where there'll be calls for firings and maybe even Eli upend Crimson in 111th meeting erington recalled. "It was a tough game." Returning yesterday to the site of one of his darkest experiences, Hetherington led the inspired Eli to a resounding 32-13 victory over the Crimson on a glorious afternoon before 25,800 in the 111th game in this ancient series. Hetherington completed 7 of 11 passes for 104 yards and swung the wrecking ball on a big fourth-down completion to tight end Dave Prybyla.

The win gave the visitors a 5-5 season that began with wins over Brown, Holy Cross and Connecticut and ended with the victory that always makes the New Haven winter pass a little quicker. The Crimson finished 4-6 overall, tied with Dartmouth at 2-5 in last place in the Ivy League. The victory margin was the HARVARD-YALE, Page 64 Hetherington could do was sit and watch and wait for another time and another place.

Jersey guys are different. The way they talk. The way they act. The way they think. Bill Parcells is a Jersey guy who really I trusts only other Jersey guys, ones he calls nia (defined as any pro football game in the greater Washington area), but there was electric-! ity, anticipation, excitement and even some basketball last night in Maryland horse country.

The Bullets unveiled their new twin peaks, Chris Webber and Juwan Howard, and the former Michigan teammates had their moments, doing nothing to discourage the second capacity crowd of the season. However, it was the Celtics' mission to play the role of spoiler, and they succeeded, taking an entertaining 103-102 victory. It was Boston's third straight victory, evening their record at 4-4. Boston had to rally in the final minute after a Rex Chapman bomb from somewhere near Bethesda gave the Bullets a 100-99 lead with 47.1 seconds to play. But Derek Strong got loose underneath, and Dino Radja (21 points) found him for a layup with 8.6 seconds left.

George Blaney is a Jersey guy, too. Oh, it doesn't show sometimes because 27 years of New England polish has been applied and George always did things a little differently. "Like eating pizza," said The Faa, absolutely a Jersey guy who has known Blaney for 35 years.

"George is the only person I've ever seen who eats pizza with a knife and fork. He's also the only Irishman I know who doesn't drink. He's a Coca-Cola guy. -4 -i a Who's No, The Globe's Mark Blaudschun sees Kentucky winning it all. Page 69.
