Fullback gains 176 yards as Terriers throw Huskies for loss Another downer BU, 26-9 A I 1 The BU defense wasn't too shabby, either. It held the Huskies (3-6, 3-3) to one field goal, which came following an interception off Dougherty and a runback inside the BU.10. UConn's other TD came on a punt block in the second half, when the game was safely in BU's column. BU broke things open with a 23-point second quarter en route to a 26-3 halftime lead.

Dougherty's 6-yard scoring pass to Chris Woycke made it 10-3, and shortly thereafter Don Benaglio, giving Dale a breather, drove through a cavernous hole up the middle for a 10-yard score and a 17-3 bulge. The Terriers defense created the next score when tackle Ivan Padilla's pressure on UConn quarterback Zeke Rodgers resulted in an intentional grounding call in the end zone by rule, a safety. After UConn's free kick from' its 20, BU and, Dougherty needed just five plays to ram another touchdown home, as Dale completed the drive with a 1-yard burst up the middle. Woycke made catches of 12 and 20 yards on the drive that put the game all but out of reach. BU's defense did the rest, sacking Rodgers five times, with John Schaefer and Jeff Fuller registering two apiece from their defensive end positions.

It was a Fuller sack that forced Rodgers to cough up the football at the UConn 22 in the second quarter and led to BU's second touchdown.

With Burwell having graduated, BU coach Dan Allen had some questions about his running game going into this season. Dale has apparently answered them. "We wanted to establish the run early," said Allen, "and it was hard to take the ball out of Julien's hands." Factor in the leadership and skills of quarterback Robert Dougherty (21 of 33, 247 1 TD) and four receivers who caught four or more passes apiece, and it added up to a defensive coordinator's nightmare. "Julien adds a whole new dimension to our offensive scheme," said Allen. GLOBE STAFF PHOTO BARRY CHIN one of his 36 carries.

The University of Connecticut defense had that unenviable and painful task yesterday and paid the price 36 times the number of times that Boston University freshman Julien Dale carried the football on his way to a career-best 176 yards and a touchdown in the Terriers' 26-9 punishing of the Huskies before 7,064 at Nickerson Field. In extending their record to 8-1 including 6-1 in the Yankee Conference, with a championship showdown looming at home in two weeks against 8-1 New Hampshire the Terriers dominated all phases of the game, compiling 439 yards of total offense to UConn's 111. "We couldn't run.

We couldn't pass. They were beating us up front, and they came to play," said UConn coach Skip Holtz. "And Dale is just a true hard-nosed fullback. He's got the power and momentum to play 1-A football." Dale started the season as a third-stringer but was inserted into the starting lineup five games ago, and BU which is ranked seventh nationally in Division 1-AA and plays at 1-A Army next weekend has won them all. He was the Yankee Conference Rookie of the Week the last two weeks, and his yardage yesterday was the best by a BU back since Zack Burwell rushed for 179 BROWN, 23-17 7 10 3 S-23 7 3 0 7-17 Har- Halligan 41 pass from Ferrara (Hannon Bro-Jessie 4 run (Warden kick) Bro-FG Warden 27 Bro-Jessie 28 run (Warden kick) Har-FG Hannon 30 Bro-FG Warden 34 Bro-FG Warden 40 Har Reardon 1 run (Hannon kick) Han 17 44-133 1B9 -8 12-26-1 6 38 3-1 4-25 27:38 First downs Rushes-yards Passing Return yards Comp-att-int Punts Fumbles-lost Penalties-yards 23 50-242 162 12 14-27-2 3-37 0-0 10-89 32-22 Possession 1NDTVIIHJM.

Harvard, Halligan 4-78, Drakos 4-61. for By Joe orris GLOBE STAFF AMHERST The i. EEL jjreviuuts eigia weens uJ of misfortune seemed so distant. The first win of the season seemed imminent Northeastern rallied from a 14-point deficit and led Massachusetts by 4 with 12:53 remaining yesterday at Warren McGuirk Stadium. With 7:15 left, NU stopped UMass on fourth and 3 at the NU 31-yard line and maintained its lead.

With 23 seconds left, UMass had another fourth and 3, this one from the NU 4, with NU still clinging to its 4-point edge. It came down to this for the hapless Huskies: one play, one stop, one win. NU players on the sideline cheered with such emotion they had to be restrained. Victory was in their grasp. Then UMass running back Rene Ingoglia took a pitch, ran left and dove into the end zone untouched.

The bubble burst. One play, 6 points, another NU loss. UMass held on to defeat Northeastern, 27-24, foiling an exceptional effort by an NU squad that fell to 0-9 overall, 0-6 in the Yankee Conference. UMass (5-4, 4-3) was led by a ground attack that rolled up 257 yards. Ingoglia led all rushers with 166 yards on 29 carries and two touchdowns, including the clincher.

"We just kept pounding them and pounding them and pounding them," said Ingoglia of the winning drive, which covered 53 yards on 13 plays. "It was an option left on fourth down and we knew we had to get it done." Any NU hopes for a miracle ended when Tony Williams intercepted Jim Murphy with 11 seconds left. The loss was perhaps the most devastating blow for the 1994 Huskies, who have overcome injury and misfortune all season but haven't been able to claim a victory. Yesterday, because of a lineup shift at center (left tackle Brian Chamberlain replaced Jeff Clark-son), Northeastern" fumbled on center-quarterback exchanges six times. With 5:51 left in the second quarter, NU coach Barry Gallup replaced Murphy, a true freshman, with senior Clarzell Pearl, but reinserted Murphy for the second half.

The move paid dividends as Mur-phy completed 7 of 16 passes for 142 yards and two touchdowns in the second half. His second pass was a 43-yarder to tailback Brian Vaughan to give Northeastern a 24-20 lead. "I don't think 1 can put into words how this feels," said Murphy. "These kind of losses are tough to take. When you can taste the victory, sometimes you'd rather be blown out." It looked as if the Huskies would be routed in the first half.

With 4:05 left in the second quarter, quarterback Andrew McNeilly pitched to running back Clark Ramos, who threw to wide receiver Kevin Bour-goin for a 71-yard touchdown that put the Minutemen ahead, 20-6. "I thought we showed great courage," said Gallup. "People keep asking me about our team's attitude; this team has one of the best attitudes of any team I've ever been around. I'd hate to be Maine NU's next opponent because right now we deserve a win." UMass coach Mike Hodges was pleased with his team's poise on the winning drive. "We played our kind of football," he said.

"But NU's a' real good team."

Dartmouth (4-4, 2-3 Ivy) finally finished Columbia (4-3-1, 2-3) when cornerback Pat Orie slapped away a fourth-down pass to Brian Bassett with 1:30 remaining. It looked as though Dartmouth had dodged a bullet with minutes remaining when lineman Ben Murphy covered a fumble by Columbia's Marcellus Wiley at the goal line. But a short punt gave Columbia the ball at the Dartmouth 28.

Two plays later, quarterback Jamie Schwalbe, who was 21 of 34 for 269 yards, connected with David Ramirez at the back of the end zone to make it 14-13. Cornerback Brian Crowell slapped away a 2-point conversion pass intended for Bassett.

By the second half there was no doubt about it, as Brown put away a 23-17 win yesterday at Harvard Stadium in a battle of Ivy League programs on the upswing. Brown (5-3 overall, 2-3 league), which reached five wins for the first time since 1987, got 105 rushing yards and a pair of touchdowns from sophomore Marquis Jessie, 90 yards frnm mninr Paul Fichiera.

"They really won the game for us. It was far and away the best game we've had this year." Harvard 2-3) struck first and last but it was all Brown in between.

After Vin Ferrara hit a wide-open Mike Halligan down the middle for a 41-yard touchdown and 7-0 first-period Harvard lead, it quickly went downhill for the Crimson. Harvard suffered a cruel blow on the ensuing kickoff. The Brown returner couldn't handle the kick, and the ball was knocked back into the end zone, where Harvard kicker Brady Hewitt recovered for an apparent touchdown. But Harvard was flagged for offsides, nullifying the score.

Harvard kicked off again, and after the defense forced a Brown punt, Matt Bradley mis-played the kick and Brown recovered on the Harvard 16. 4 "Our special teams were shaky' said Harvard coach Tim Murphy, whose team later had a field goal blocked and came up short on a faHe field goal play. "We have to take good look at them." Brown turned the fumbled punt into quick points and a tie game.

McCullough, who had several key runs, picked up 8 yards on a third down, and then Jessie went wide right to score from 4 yards out his first touchdown of the year. Warden's conversion kick vas partially blocked but still made it through the uprights. Early in the second quarter Warden hit a 27-yard field goal to Brown the lead for good, 10-7. The next time he got the baH, McCullough marched the Bears 89 yards for another touchdown, with Jessie scoring on a 28-yard run. Again, Warden's point-after kick ws deflected.

And, again, it werjt through the uprights. By halftime, Harvard had more first downs (11-10), more yards (20l-194) an edge in possession time and trailed, 17-10. Brown dominated the second half.
