Seven Injuries Plague 11.$.% As Football Heads Into 5th Week
After approximately five solid weeks of football, all four area high school football coaches are beginning to assesstheir strong and weak points, enough so to field the best possible football team their school could offer. Tonight, as religious as getting up every morning, each coach will do just that--field their teams in hopes of walking away satisfied. For three of the four schools a w in is long overdue; Cloverdale, North Putnam, and South Putnam, have all succumbed to their foes.

Greencastle is the only school who can say they know what’s it like to win; thus far. But they face their hardest struggle of the year tonight. Each coach feels he and his squad is ready to square off with the best possible team. There are only seven injuries throughout the county which may hamper the school’s style. Greencastle, the strongest of the four schools, may feel the pinch a little harder than the others due to some bizarre circumstance. Stacey Spencer, junior starting halfback, will be sidelined at least a week due to a bruised back and shoulder he substained in playing flag football during his gym period. Bill Wallace, senior starting defensive end, suffered pulled knee ligaments during a practice drill Wednesday night. Kevin Pierce, senior starting defensive halfback, is
sidelined with a sprained ankle he also received Wednesday while holding a point after attempt during practice. Cloverdale will be without the services of Darrell Brouhard, junior starting linebacker and tailback, due because of a foot injury which will probably sideline him a couple of weeks. South Putnam again will be lacking their big senior offensive back Craig Sibbitt. Sibbitt, after being injured in the first encounter with Greencastle, saw little action last week, but long enough to aggravate a shoulder injury. Curtis Hoskins, junior, has
been out sick all week and won’t see any playing time while Doyle Williamson, senior, may only see a little action because of an ankle injury. Despite these injuries the cries are beared echoing throughout the county; “We’ll be ready.” Each in their own little way, but confident of the win. The truth will be borne out tonight when Greencastle plays Sullivan, South Putnam plays Brazil both at home, North Putnam faces Cascade away, and Cloverdale plays host to Dugger.

Expects Definite Improvement
Cross country prospects at DePauw University appear promising as Coach Bob Harvey grooms a youthful squad for its opening meet Saturday. (Sept. 15) in CrawGreencastle Rackeeters Now 3-1 Greencastle’s tennis team upped their record to 3-1 yesterday with a strong performance by defeating Terre Haute South, 6-3, at Greencastle.
Blair MacPhail, after falling prey to a mental lapse yesterday, avenged his lost by his lost by defeating probably one of his strongest opponents Migaki, 2-6, 6-4, and 6-4. Altogether, according to York the boys wanted the meet badly. Only one player, Todd Wagoner lost his match, 1-6, and 0-6. Terry Black won, 6-4, and 6- 0, Scott Kissinger won in a abbreviated match 6-1; Steve Shinn took three sets to win, 7- 6, 3-6, and 4-6; and Bob Phillips won again 6-1, 6-1, to lift his personal record to 4-0. Two of the three doubles team won. MacPhail and Kissinger won 11-10, and Phillips and Wagoner won 10-7. Black and Shinn lost 510. Because of darkness the doubles were played with-a 10-game pro set.
fordsville. “I expect this group to be definitely improved over last year because we have added reserve balance,” Harvey smiled as he reviewed his 1973 roster. Actually, last year was a relatively good year for the Tigers, considering they turned in a 3-2-1 dual meet record. You can’t fault a winning season. Harvey, however, is anxious to improve it and particularly aims at hauling DePauw into a higher spot in the Indiana Collegiate where it finished fourth a year ago. Two sophomores, a junior and a senior appear likely to do most of the heavy hauling. “Tom Rust and Doug Ruud are both in fine shape this year. They are definitely contenders for the number one position on the team,” Harvey speculates. Rust, a senior from Indianapolis, held DePauw’s five-mile mark as a sophomore, but was lost to the squad a substantial part of last year because he had mono. That’s all behind him, Harvey hopes, and so he hopes too will most of the opponents’ runners. Ruud, on the other hand, is a sophomore. His home is Libertyville. 111. Ruud took over Rust’s number one spot last year when mono hit and paced the squad most of the remainder of the season, including a ninth place finish in the annual ICC runoff. Junior Bruce Long from Indianapolis and sophomore Jim Elliott were Harvey’s number six and seven runners last year. This season Harvey
Souvenir Seekers Swarming As Aaron Nears HR Immortality
By NORM CLARKE ■ Associated Press Writer CINCINNATI (AP) — Henry Aaron’s historic bid for home run immortality has spawned a super breed of baseball fan— the souvenir seeker-Sauerkraut-loving Cincinnati fans, often noted for their conservative ways, are swarming to Riverfront Stadium with dreams of witnessing—and capitalizing—as Aaron continues his ever-closer countdown to Babe Ruth’s all-time home run record of 714. “I've never seen anything like it,” said Dale Stoeber, director of ticket services for the Cincinnati Reds. The Atlanta Braves slugger is swelling stadiums around the country as he nears Ruth’s record. Aaron, who has hit more homers against Cincinnati than any other club in his 20year career, opens the threegame series Friday night with 710. Cincinnati fans are ready and waiting: —A Cincinnati business firm is offering $ 1,000, $2,000 and $3,000 for retrieved Aaron home run balls. —Lovely ladies in halter tops are hnrrnwinc their brothers’
baseball gloves in hopes of making the catch of their lives. —Smuggled nets are getting past gate guards as determined fans envision get-rich quick methods. “We’ve been selling left field seats in advance for the past month and a half because of the large demand,” said Stoeber. “And we’ve even had requests from as far away as Iowa and New York.” Ron Jurgens and his father Charlie, owners of Stacey Storage of Cincinnati, are stationing six men wearing brightlydecorated signs advertising their offer to buy an Aaron home run ball on the spot. They have purchased 50 left field seats to enhance their chances. “The Atlanta Braves are offering $714 and $715 for Aaron’s record-typing and record-break-ing home runs. We’re offering $2,000 and $3,000,” said Ron Jurgens. ‘If dollars and cents will buy it, we’ll get it,” he said. And if he successfully purchases No. 714 or 715? “I’m sorry, but as much as I like Hank Aaron, I’d have to turn him down. I think the fans deserve to see it. My dad and I would keep the ball for two-
expects they’ll probably move up to number three and four. As evidence that DePauw’ should have more overall depth Harvey believes it’s entirely possible any of his top four prospects could break the school’s five-mile mark of 25:50. He’sjust sorry the man who holds it, junior Dee Moon of Logansport, won’t be here to take a crack at it himself. Moon is studying overseas this semester. Jeff McCall, Champaign, 111.; Dave Duncan, Richmond; Pete Jamison, Canton, O.; Jamie Jones, Prospect, O.; and George Ball, Aurora, 111., are five more men Harvey counts on among his upperclassmen. Jones is particular has been looking good. Three freshmen are giving early season signs of providing Harvey the depth he predicts. Steve Ferguson was an outstanding runner for a strong Elkhart (Ind.) High School team last year. Mark Lindsey of Kokomo High School
owns a 10-flat two mile among his running credentials. Ron Benco of New Brunswick, O., rounds out Harvey’s present pre-sea-son hopefuls. Indiana Central, according to Harvey, appears destined to repeat its monopoly of Indiana Collegiate Conference cross country in 1973. Harvey’s goal will be literally overtaking as many of the other contenders—Valparaiso, Butler and Wabash--as his team can manage.

three months for display, then give it to the Baseball Hall of Fame. That’s where it belongs. We think they would probably reimburse us for what we paid for it.” The Jurgens have already paid $1,000 for the only home run Aaron has hit in Riverfront this season. They are offering $1,000 for any ball up to 714 hit in any park this season. Red-capped attendants are concerned with the safety of the many money-minded fans who have scrambled and dived over seats and railings for an Aaron-hit ball. “They’re crazy,” said a Reds’ attendant. “Somebody’s going to get killed. They all want a piece of history—even if it’s a foul ball.” Patricia Murray, a 24-year-old schoolteacher, is prepared for the occasion. She reserved three front row seats in left field at $4 each in July and plans to pack a glove to every game. What would she do with the ball if she caught it? ‘I’d sell it for $3,000. I’d give my folks $1,000, pay off my college loan with another $1,000 and go to Europe on the rest,” she beamed.
South Putnam’s harriers placed at runners in the top10 Wednesday and went on to defeat Owen Valley and Monrovia, 19-50-68, respectively. “I was really pleased with the kids showing,” Coach Tom Freije said. “It’s our best outing so far. Our next goal is to get the same is to go under 4:30.” As usual Keith Puckett led the field and finished first with a time of 14:12. According to Freije, Puckett and Cloverdale’s undefeated Jack Galloway will probably end up numbers one and two in the conference. “Which way it’ll go I don’t know, I have my favorite, but I know one thing, it’ll be a battle to the finish,” Freije said. The conference meet is not until October 16, at Cloverdale. South Putnam’s remaining five finishers were: Bryan Chadd, third, 14:33;; Rick Kelley, fourth, 14:38; Eddie Broadstreet, fifth, 14:42; Kerry Ames, sixth, 14:43; and
Mike Brown, eighth, 14:47. “Altogether we had 14 in the top-20 which I was really proud of,” Freije said.
