University of Wisconsin security chief Susan Riseling said approximately 12,000 spectators scrambled out of five student sections after Wisconsin's 13-10 victory. The injured fans were 'trampled in the rush. The surging crowd collapsed chain-link and rail fences separating them from the end zone.

Police struggled to clear the mob so paramedics could reach the injured, some of them on the field and others still in the stands. Riseling said about 75 people were injured, but reports from the city's three hospitals showed 69 people were examined or treated. Seven were in critical condition and one was in serious condition. "The game is insignificant," Wisconsin athletic director Pat Richter WISCONSIN, Page 73 Boston businessman Bob Kraft said yesterday he will make an all-out effort to buy the New England Patriots and keep the team in this area. "I want everyone to know how serious I am," Kraft said.

"I have thought about buying the Patriots for some time, and now everything is right for me to do it." Kraft, a co-owner of Foxboro Stadium with real estate developer Steve Karp, says he will buy the team with his own money and has all the financing in place. "I have told the National Football League what I want to do, and I have also told the same thing to Goldman Sachs a New York investment firm," he said.

Before I was giving this kid the official BC Alumni imprimatur, I needed to see the regularly administering to itself with its recent actions. Twice within five hours last month, for example, the sport belted itself in the eye, and nobody was surprised.

Around 9 a.m. on a bright fall morning, two Canadian promoters, Don Amott and Trevor Wallden of Thunder Boxing, held a press conference in a Manhattan hotel ballroom to announce a tough man contest painted in the guise of a heavyweight boxing tournament. The one-night, four-hour affair would feature 16 of the division's second-rate fighters in three-round bouts, with the winners advancing until the eventual champion collected $1 million. The only state willing to sanction the bouts was Mississippi, which would sanction a fly against a fly swatter if someone would stage it on one of its riverboat casi- nos. No network or cable outlet would touch it, so the two men, who got the idea after televising a tough man contest in Saskatchewan, are trying to sell it on pay-per-view for $29.95.

The event, dubbed "The People's Choice World Heavyweight Super Fights," is the closest the sport has come to aligning itself directly with the professional wrestling approach to marketing. Those who love boxing become ill at the thought of it "It's a ludicrous event," said Ron Katz, one of the country's best matchmakers, who works for promoter Bob BOXING, Page 65 holes in the hands and the wound in the side.

An unintentional pirouette here, a phantom trip or whiff there. Long forgotten were the early minutes at the start of the second period when Merrimack broke open the game with four quick goals, making it 5-0. Forgotten were a couple of soft goals. A few missed chances. UMass had scored its first goal in 14 years, and it was time to celebrate.

Several minutes later, Warren Norris passed to Latulippe, who came out from behind the net, made another nifty move and scored again. More cheers. "He's scored more goals than the 78- )) j. I HOCKEY pur ECAC Div. 1: RPI the pick.

"What can I say?" said a miffed Boston coach Brian Sutter.

"It's a crime to lose a game like that." Why cruel? Why a crime? Because, in many respects, it was Boston's best effort in a thus-far mediocre season, the highlight of which was a 47-shot (OK Corral-style) attack on Blues backup goalie Jim Hrivnak, the ex-Merrimack College star who has led an NHL career buried behind some of the game's best goaltenders.
