18 THE DAILY ITEM Sunbury, Oct. 24, 1977 Crusaders tumble Aggies i rt 1 1 cluding 50 by Burton, and 'added 82 through the air on an 8-for-13 performance by Aqnarumma. His favorite targets were double flankers Keith Ander-' son, who caught three for 43 yards, and Vince LaSelva, who grabbed four for 30 yards. The Crusaders'" one-point cross country win was paced by Russ Stevenson and Chris Thiede, who came in first and second. But the real hero was fifth finisher Dick Geib, who sprinted past the Aggies' fifth man about 15 yards from the finish line to claim the crucial ninth place stick, 1 Stevenson toured the five-mile course in 27:03 as unseasonally warm weather caused slow times.

Following Fike's interception, Delaware Valley turned one of four SU fumbles into its only score.

After recovering the ball on the Crusader 25, the Aggies hit paydirt In eight plays with a pass from quarterback Ron Haraka to halfback Mike Mackrides covering the final seven yards. Susquehanna kicked off to start the second half and quickly forced the home team into a punting situation at its own 22. A 36-yard punt was returned 14 yards by Ed LaSelva to put the SU offense in business at the Aggie 44. Six plays later, halfback Pete Burton burst up the middle and. bulled through two tacklers at the goal line for a 15-yard TD run.

1 Burton scored another touchdown in the fourth quarter, going over from the One following Lugiano's interception. Drafted into the place-kicking job this fall after an injury to Tom O'Neill, Burton hit top form Saturday with a perfect four-for-four. He had plenty of distance on a first period field goal attempt of 37 yards, but was slightly wide. The Crusader defensive line enjoyed perhaps its best game of the year, forcing loss of yardage on 16 plays. Quarterback sacks were made by Gabe Develli, Joe Stein, Roger Barr and Nick Inter-donato.

Develli blocked an Aggie field goal attempt at the close of the first half. Total offense statistics actually favored the losers by 177 yards to 174.

The gridders snapped a four-game losing streak with a 28-7 triumph that gives them a 2-4 record, 1-4 in the Middle Atlantic Conference. The Crusader harriers pulled out a 27-28 thriller for Bruce Wagenseller's first win over Delaware Valley in seven years as coach. It was the fifth straight victory for the runners, giving them a season mark of 6-3, best among SU fall sports squads. Three Susquehanna interceptions were the key factor in the football game which saw the Crusaders score seven points in each quarter against a lone second quarter TD for the Aggies.

Defensive back Rick Fike returned a pass theft 65 yards for SU's second period touchdown and a 14-0 lead. The game's final TD was set up when defensive end Bill Lugiano returned an interception 59 yards to the Aggie one. A third quarter Delaware Valley threat was turned back when SU safety Dave Breymeier stole a pass in the Crusader end zone and ran it out nine yards. Susquehanna took the opening kickoff and, with the aid of a roughing the kicker penalty against DV near midfield, marched 71 yards in 18 plays. Flanker Vince LaSelva scored on a seven-yard run after taking a lateral Boyd, Woody By Jeff Ranck For The Daily Item LEWISBURG "You can throw away the record books on this one." That's the phrase that generally characterizes the pregame prediction of most football forecasters before the annual Bucknell vs.

Gettysburg contest. To be sure, a fair number of upsets have occurred in this traditional interstate rivalry, and BU mentor Bob Curtis was among those aware of what the Bullets hayje traditionally done to the Bisons. But Saturday was a different story that what most had expected, and while the record book wasn't thrown away, it was rewritten to some extent. Running back Vince Woody took the opening kickoff for the Bisons and raced 94 yards to put Bucknell on the scoreboard with just 14 seconds gone in the game. Woody's record-shattering run set the stage for another of his backfield mates.

Fullback Joel Boyd carried the ball 30 times for 222 yards erasing the old single-game rushing mark of 21 yards dates back to 1949, held by "Smokey" Osten-dorp, now head football coach at Amherst College. set BU football records SUNBURY "It was a successful meet, featured keen competition and went off without a hitch." Jim Bell, coach of the Shikellamy High cross country team and coordinator of the event, made the comment about the Shikellamy Braves Sports Booster Club-sponsored Cross Country Classic here Saturday. Williamsport finished first in the varsity meet with 53 points, with the host school Shikellamy placing second with 68 markers. Berwick was third with 86 points. In the jayvee meet, Shikellamy outdistanced the field, winning with 22 points to 53 for second-place Williamsport.

Shikellamy's Pat Walker finished first Shamokin outlasts Lourdes Bv U. For The Dally Item SHAMOKIN It was a close game. There was a bit of tension in the air as the quarterback for the underdogs, who were trailing by four points with less than 30 seconds left on the clock, faded back for a pass. He was scrambling, a habit he seemed to grow accustomed to that night. Suddenly he unleashed a pass that seemed to somehow find its way through a crowd of defenders and into the intended receiver's hands some 26 yards down field.

Now they were in their opponent's territory, but there were only 21 seconds left on the clock. A time out was hastily called. The quarterback conferred with his coach. What must they do? The goalline was still a long 47 yards away. There could be only one solution to the problem: the bomb.

It was first and 10 when a long spiral came looping out of the air only to miss its intended target and eat up seven valuable seconds. With the clock stopped, the underdogs regrouped and once again set up at the line of scrimmage. Again the quarterback went back searching, looking, hoping.

in the varsity meet. The brilliant senior, who led the Braves to a second straight Susquehanna Valley League title and another perfect league mark, set a course record of 15:18 for the 3: 05-mile layout. Williamsport's Bill Rief snyder and Dave Webster placed 2-3 in the race. In the jayvee event, Williamsport's Scott Welteroth won in 17:21. Shikellamy's Randy McKinney, Todd Kratzer and Chuck Keener finished 2-3-4.

Eight schools had entries in the meet. Trophies were presented to the first 20 finishers in the varsity meet and to the first 15 place-winners in the jayvee race. Shikellamy, the defending champs, sive secondary another aerial hope was launched. But fate would not have it land in the hands of an eagerly awaiting receiver. It merely fell to the ground, untouched by friend or foe.

At this time there were only eight seconds left. Was it too late? Another pass was tossed. This one found its mark and propelled the trailing team 17 yards closer toward the goal. There was one major drawback: time. With two seconds left on the clock the Shamokin Indians' (7-1) defensive line broke through the offensive line of the Lourdes Regional Red Raiders (1-7) and sacked the quarterback, Mike Pipa.

It Utterly smothered the Raiders' try for an upset and secured Shamokin's 21-17 victory here in Kemp Memorial Stadium before some 3,000 fans Saturday night. Coach Joe Gubernot of Shamokin said of the game, "It was a typical backyard rivalry. Against any other team Lourdes would have laid down and died after giving up a 21-3 lead." In the scoring that led to the last minute attempt to pull off an upset, the Indians were on the scoreboard first as quarterback Mark Sheriff went in from the one, two plays after a 30-yard punt return. Four minutes later, Shamokin's Dave Zielinski ran 30 yards for another touchdown. With 1:19 left before the half, Frank Yanik ran three yards for the winners' opening period TD.

Joe Perrot-ti tossed scoring passes of two and 14 yards, respectively, to Tom Brennan and Ken Zipko in the third quarter. Morruci tallied on a one-yard plunge to close the Bloomsburg scoring in the fourth quarter. Aaron Mitchum ran three yards for the Wolves' touchdown.

The first play of the second half saw Sheriff keep the ball and run 52 yards to put the Indians in front, 21-3. Making a comeback, Lourdes' Dave Komara capped a 13-play, 69-yard drive with a three-yard dive up the middle to give the Raiders their first touchdown. The final score came when the Red Raiders, pulled to within four points of the Indians oh Pipa's 10-yard pass to Jim Letcavage at the start of the fourth quarter. Gubernot cited Randy Schiccatano, who plays in the defensive secondary, and Ed Zack, a linebacker, as his outstanding defensive players of the game. Gubernot also said Sheriff played an excellent game.

Sheriff may have provoked this comment by his ability to run with the ball, once for a 52-yard touchdown. Shamokin is at Hazleton Saturday, while Lourdes has an open date.

He said that Boyd "followed his blocks all day and kept his footing on a field that was every bit as bad as the last two games we played on it." Boyd scored the second of the Bisons' two first period touchdowns on a three-yard run. Allen Simmons' reception of a 24-yard pass from quarterback Glynn Lipp added the third Bison tally and gave them a 20-0 halftime lead. Lipp hit Simmons again in the fourth period on an eight-yard pass for the fourth tally and Mark Everett carried twice from the 13 to add the final Bison score.

Bucknell dominated play both offensively and defensively. "Their plan was to take away the outside running game and keep Lipp from running with the ball," said Curtis. "But when they did that they opened up the inside running game." The Bisons totaled 294 yards on the ground and 101 in the air. The BU defense held the Bullets to 191 total offensive yards, and only 22 of them were on the ground. When Gettysburg Fran 1 5 9 167 74 114 Sunday's results Cleveland 27.

Lacompte completed 14 of 28 passes, but had three intercepted. In all, the Bison secondary picked off four Gettysburg aerials. Safety Jeff Lilly came up with two and linebacker Joel Kreider and defensive back Gary Vidmer grabbed the other two. Bucknell has two tough weeks ahead.
