The call came 4:43 after North Bergen senior quarterback placekicker Ed Duran had broken a 7-7 deadlock with his second field goal of the season, a 22- ac Group 4 which gave the Bruins the ball on the Mustang 30 with 31 seconds to play. After a nine-yard completion and a quarterback draw, Duran threw an interception, but a roughing penalty gave North Bergen a first down on Clifton's eight. Duran hit tight end Angelo Severino on the next play to tie the game with four seconds left in the half. Although it had field position on the Bruins 40- and 39-yard lines on its first two possessions of the second half, Clifton elected not to pass on third-down situations.

Henry was making his first ca-reer start, filling in for mononucleosis-stricken Brian Shaugh-nessy. Starting at their own 27 early in the fourth quarter, the Bruins drove 69 yards behind the powerful blocking of offensive lineman Fran Neville, Juan Ribot, and John Horgan to Clifton's four. Mustang inside linebacker John Fachin knocked down a potential third-down scoring pass from Duran intended for running back Tony Bartley, setting the stage for Dur-an's game-winning field goal.

Trailing by three points late in yesterday's New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association Group 4 football semifinal matchup with North Bergen, the second-year Clifton coach was in a pressure fourth-and-one situation from the Bruins' 23-yard line after driving 57 yards. Jones chose a passing play with 4:12 remaining. Sophomore quarterback Mike Henry was sacked for a nine-yard loss, preserving North Bergen's 10-7 victory and the right to face Passaic in the Dec. 3 North Jersey, Section 1 Group 4 final. "The reason I think he Jones did that was because be was going for it all," said Bruin coach Vin Ascolese.

"We go into a 6-4-1 defense in situations like that and he was going for the home run, he was gonna win it right there." Jones, who directed Clifton to seven straight wins after an opening-day loss to Passaic, said he never considered testing the short-yardage North Bergen defense on the critical play. yarder. His game-winning kick accounted for the only points in the second half. The Mustangs (7-2) needed just 18 seconds to score their lone touchdown. Senior speedster Pat Behan picked up 2 squibbed opening kickoff at his 18-yard line, uked a couple of Bruin defenders, and bolted down the right sideline for an 82-yard TD to give the Mustangs a 7-0 lead while the Clifton faithful were still finding seats.

North Bergen (8-1) eventually evened the score before intermission, but needed nearly the entire half to do it.

"We spent Monday, Tuesday, and Group 4 By Tom Br anna Correspondent ALLENDALE Both coaches had the game pegged. Wayne Valley's Fred Keil and his Northern Highlands counterpart, Carl Mortensen, expected the Group 3 game to be decided by which team made fewer mistakes and connected on a big play or two. That's what happened as Wayne Valley posted a 14-13 victory. Wayne Valley takes on Ramapo, a 21-20 winner over Bergenfield, for the championship on Dec. 3.

The Indians' defense came up with a big play By 8am Bliss Correspondent PASSAIC Memorial football coach Anthony Ferrainolo didn't find out until Friday morning that his 6-2 Tigers would play unbeaten Passaic in the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association North Jersey 1, Group 4 semifinal. But he was quick to admit that lack of preparation had little to do with the outcome. Memorial replaced Snyder, which was forced out of the playoffs when most of its team was declared scholastically ineligible. "How can I use that as an Ferrainolo said after Craig Heyward and his Indians assaulted his West New York group, 53-12. "I don't think if we had known about the game sooner it would have mattered that much." It would have taken somewhat longer than a week for Ferrainolo to figure out the mystery of stopping Heyward.

The 5-foot-1 1, 240-pound senior I-back, who had a hand or a foot in Passaic's first five touchdowns, labeled the performance one of his best. Passaic took a 7-0 lead when Heyward faked a punt from Snyder's 41 and drilled a scoring strike to his brother Nate, who was wide-open. It was the second touchdown pass of Craig's illustrious career. Running with the finesse and power that have made him one of the nation's Group 3 Wednesday getting ready for Snyder," Passaic head coach Ray McCrann said. "Fortunately for us, one of the films Snyder had given us was the Memorial game 27-0 Memorial, last Saturday," he said.

"Thursday night it was obvious there was going to be a change, so what is normally a day we catch up on some rest, we stayed here until the wee hours looking at the films and getting work done. "We were afraid we might have lost some of the intensity that we always work on early in the week, but obviously the intensity was there." Passaic forced seven Tiger fumbles, and recovered six. Ferrainolo contended the game may have been closer if not for the turnovers, but the bottom line still was the talents of Craig Heyward Enjoys banner day Heyward, who may surpass his own intensity level in the Group 4 final Dec. 3 against North Bergen. "My best games usually come toward the end of the year, when I get familiar with the blocking assignments and the different alignments," said Heyward, who finished the afternoon with 239 rushing yards.

Is there any way Ferrainolo or North Bergen head coach Vince Ascolese could be ready for Heyward? "We could have put 15 men on the field," Ferrainolo quipped. turned to a defensive battle, with the teams exchanging punts. Halfway through the second quarter, a face-mask penalty gave the Highlanders a first down on its 45. Byrnes, finding his receivers covered, scrambled 20 yards to to Wayne Valley's 35. Two runs up the middle and a 12-yard pass to Ed Jaten gave Highlands a first down on Wayne Valley's 17.

But just when it appeared the Indians defense had regained the edge, John Kinn took a hand off on third and eight and bulled 15 yards for the touchdown. Jeff Re bain's conversion tied it at 7 at half time Keil surprised Highlands' special team after trading punts to open the second half. Cavallo, on a reverse, scampered 75 yards for a touchdown, regaining the lead for Wayne Valley with 7:47 left in the third quarter. "We always run to the short side on punt situations like that," said Keil. "It's something they should have expected." Ed Scibetta kicked the decisive extra point, ultimately putting the lid on the Highlanders' championship hopes.

But, with the fourth quarter just underway, Sturno's second effort moving off a pileup at the line of scrimmage produced a 16-yard TD run. But Rehain point-after attempt was wide to the left, and Wayne Valley led 14-13. But the Highlanders didn't quit. After a stalled drive, they forced Wayne valley to punt at midfield with 3:50 left in the game. Yet another error, this time a roughing the kicker penalty sealed Northern Highlands' fate.

"That roughing the kicker penalty was the key play of the game," said Keil. With the opportunity to run out the clock, Wayne Valley did just that, as Foster and Campana alternately ground down the Highlands On Sale Thru Saturday and the offense connected on two long-yardage plays, one setting tip a touchdown and the other a 75-yard score. But in the end, it came down to a missed extra point and a roughing-the-kicker penalty by the Highlanders that helped Wayne Valley secure the victory. Wayne Valley's defense came to life after allowing Northern Highlands a first down following the opening kickoff. Two carries by halfback Chris Sturno were stopped at the line of scrimmage and Mike Collins and Tom Klepacki teamed to sack quarterback Larry Byrnes for a two-yard loss.

When two rushing attempts gave the Indians third and five on their 37, it looked as if it would be a long afternoon of battling in the trenches. But Keil had other ideas. Senior quarterback Tony Campana threw a 57-yard pass to split end Steve Francisco to the Highlanders' three-yard line. Joe Cavallo recovered a Walt Foster fumble in the endzone and Wayne Valley had a 7-0 lead on its first possession.
