Linden found Eitzmann after he rolled right and reversed himself, throwing 6 yards into the end zone to stake the Crimson to a 13-10 lead. The Tigers responded with a five-play, 92-yard drive, with Derek Theisen going up the middle for the final 19 yards at 13:54 of the second.

Sierk then missed what would be a critical extra point, leaving it 16-13. The Crimson defense rose to the occasion early in the third quarter when tackle Chris Nowinski recovered a Burnham fumble and Harvard moved into a 16-16 tie on Mike Giampaolo's 30-yard field goal. Sierk answered with a 20-yard field goal at 13:06 of the period to lift the Tigers to a 19-16 lead. Then Menick opened the fourth quarter with his pass to Wilske and made it 23-19. After the Tigers pulled to within 1 on a Sierk 30-yarder, he missed a 45-yarder with 5:47 left in the game.

It was a missed extra point and a missed field goal that did the Tigers in. They lost by 1, lost twice in overtime, and are that far away from being 6-0. "It's a tough game," said Linden, who ran 13 times for 38 yards and completed 15 of 28 passes for 186 yards in his best performance of the season. "It's a tough position to play. The benefits are when you stay positive and believe in yourself, good things are going to happen."

When it came down into the iirms of Josh Wilske just 58 seconds into the fourth quarter of yesterday's game in the glistening iew, Princeton Stadium and 1 Vilske did the rest of the work on 4Vyard play, it lifted the Crimson to a 23-22 lead. The defense took it from there, with Ben (Ireen of nearby Cherry Hill intercepting a pass with 1:23 left that helped the lead hold up. The win lifted the Crimson (3-. 3, 2-1) into a four-way tie for the lead in the Ivy League. This from a1 team that was badly outplayed by Columbia in its opening game Sept- 19 in New York and was 0-3 before turning the season around 4nd winning its third straight in balmy conditions.

"I took the pitch and there was a guy coming up on me," said Menick. "I just chucked it and he made a great catch The only way I wouldn't have thrown it was if Wilske was covered like a blanket." The Tigers actually seized a 10-0 lead when Alex Sierk kicked a field goal from 41 yards 6:04 into the game and Ray Canole was wide open to haul in a 15-yard pass from John Burnham at 12:13 of the period.

He also added an assist as Vermont scored five-power-play goals after going 0 for 5 with the man advantage in its season opener agains New Hampshire.

Vermont coach Mike Gilligan stressed the importance of the three late goals. "Each really helped to deflate any BU momentum that might have been building," he said. "We felt real good in the locker room after the first period and felt even better after the second." BU certainly had its chances, but going 2 for 13 on the power play didn't help. Nor did the play of Vermont goalie Marty Phillips, who despite giving up six goals, was sharp when he had to be.

Vermont, meanwhile, clicked on 5 of 7 power play opportunities. "That's something we haven't seen in 100 years at Vermont," said Gilligan. "I can't think Jackie Parker is pleased with what he saw out there. I know I wasn't thrilled with the type of game we played. What you saw were two young teams out there making young mistakes."
