Penalties hampered Rutgers more than the Columbia defense. Eleven flags cost the Scarlets 103 yards.

Rutgers made 23 first downs on the afternoon to 11 for the Lions but seven of those came in the second half when the game was out of reach. Columbia made only one first down in the first quarter. The Rutgers-Columbia series is the second oldest in college football dating to a 1870. The victory gives Rutgers 22 for the series while Columbia has won 21 times and five games have ended in ties. In recent years, however, the Scarlet have had the much the better of play, winning the last four games and rolling up a 116-2 scoring bulge in the last three.

The crowd was the largest to see a college football game in New Jersey since 1930 when more than 45,000 watched Rutgers play Princeton at Palmer Stadium.

By the ASSOCIATED PRESS ANNAPOLIS, Md. Everyone's eyes were on Tony Dorsett yesterday, including those of the Navy defenders. "I could hear them saying, 'Watch Dorsett; watch Dorsett, said Pitt's swift and brilliant running back after gaining 180 yards and scoring three touchdowns to become major college football's alltime rushing leader in Pitt's 45-0 rout of Navy. EAST Dorsett smashed the record of 5,177 yards set last year by Ohio State's Archie Griffin with a 32-yard touchdown sweep-around left end on his 27th and final carry of the sunny, autumn afternoon. It came at 1:38 of the final period and gave the 5-foot-11, 192-pound senior from Aliquippa, a career total of 5,206 yards.

And it came just in time, "The coach told me it was my last series of downs whether I got the record or not," Dorsett said. "I was really going for the record on that last run. I wasn't going to be denied. I was so emotionally high it was unbelievable. The fact that it was a touchdown run made it that much sweeter.

"Before the last period, the coaches asked me if I wanted to go out and try to break the record or wait until next week at home. I told them I wanted to stay in the game and get as much as I could." Pitt's home town fans may be treated to a record next week anyway when the Panthers meet Syracuse. Dorsett needs only 92 yards to break the over-all NCAA mark of 5,297 set by Howard Stevens in two years at little Randolph-Macon College and two at the University of Louisville. "I'm looking for every record I can get," Dorsett said. It also was Dorsett's 15th consecutive 100-yard game and the 29th of his career.

Griffin holds the record of 33 games gaining 100 or more lines.

Army, 3-4, had taken a 3-0 lead in the second quarter on a 37-yard three-pointer by Mike Castelli. The placement capped a drive from the Cadets' one-yard line which started when Army's Dave Charest recovered an O'Brien fumble.

Yale continued to dominate the third quarter, using up 8:10 on the clock in an 80-yard drive, culminating in Pagliaro's seven-yard score.

I'm talking about the second story of the school that faces the football field." Nevertheless, there were people up in the second story yesterday watching the game. "One of the vice-principals had some people up there," explained Bolger. "They were his responsibility. The coach of Red Bank knew before the game that we would not allow anyone up there and that he would have to make some arrangement on his side of the field if he wanted to do some Mr. Bolger also claimed that an agreement between jaunt.

SPORTS SCOREBOARD coach, "I really wasn't going to say anything but I felt I have to for the benefit of other coaches who will play there. It just isn't fair.

"Because we didn't have any spotters we really couldn't tell what Keansburg was doing out there and as a result I don't think we played as well as we can."
