Md, (AID swift Tonv' Dorsett became major college football's all-time rushing leader Saturday, carrying 27 times for 180 yards and three touchdowns as the second- ranked Panthers swamped Navy 4.5-0. Dorsett smashed the record of 5,177 yards set by Ohio State's Archie Griffin with a 32-yard touchdown sweep around left end on his final rush of the game It came at 1:38 of the final period and gave the 5-foot-ll, 192-pound senior from a career total of 5,206.

Dorsett needs only 92 yards to break the over-all NCAA rushing mark of 5,297 set by Howard Stevens in two years at little Randolph-Macon and two at the University of Louisville, It was a struggle for three periods as a fired-up Navy defense kept Dorsett from breaking any long gainers and limited him to 116 yards on 23 carries, including a six-yard touchdown late in the second period following a blocked punt to give Pitt a 14-0 halftime lead. But Dorsett turned on his after-burners a 21-yard scoring burst up the middle on the first play of the final period. That left him 15 yards short of record and it was obvious what was coming when Pitt got the ball again at the Navy 43. The ensuing drive was all Dorsett. He ripped the middle for 10 yards and nicked right guard for just one.

But the next play was the record- breaker and his 12th touchdown of the season, as well. The entire Pitt squad mobbed Dorsett in the end zone and even the partisan Navy cannon boomed out a salute. En route to the record. Dorsett became the first runner ever to produce four 1.000- yard seasons. He also wiped out the career mark of 918 rushing attempts by Ed Marinaro and boosted his total to 930, starting in 1973 when he' became the first freshman in 29 years to make The Associated All- America Team.

This season, Dorsett has gained 1,072 yards on 195 carries. The AP's Top 20 and how they fared 1. Michigan (7-0-0) beat Indiana 35-0 2. Pittsburgh (7-0-0) beat Navy 45-0 3. Nebraska (5-1-1) lost to Missouri 34-24 4.
