Indiana Central Defeats Tigers

t;-

ii' k 'a!

DePauw’s junior halfback Bart Simpson, is the all-time DePauw rushing leader. He no. 35, gains yardage in Saturday’s game, a gained 41 in 16 carries against Indiana 12-7 loss at Indiana Central. Simpson already Central.

Bogged down much of the day by DePauw’s defense and the elements, Indiana Central strung together a book-per-fect 8-lyard drive in the final four minutes of action to whip the Tigers Saturday in Indianapolis. 12-7. It was sophomore quarterback Rod Pawlik who dived in from the one-yard line to lift Central ahead 9-7 with 3:24 left to go in the sloshy Indiana Collegiate Conference game. John Mitney’s second field goal of the afternoon, a 35yarder with 62 seconds to play, was anti-climactic, but it did give Central insurance against a potential field goal that could have made the difference but didn't materialize. The w in was Cental’s sixth straight. The Greyhounds now have the top rung of the

ICC w'ith a 2-0 for the campaign. The Tigers host Evansville, 2-1 this weekend in Central Indiana Band Day. For a long spell Saturday it looked very much as if DePauw would put the first dent in Central’s undefeated streak. DePauw grabbed a 70 lead in the last minute of the first quarter and held onto it tenaciously until Pawlik’s decisive plunge in those waning four minutes. It was pass interception by Larry Marfise, Tiger co-cap-tain, that started the Old Gold moving through unrelenting rain late in the first period. Marfise grabbed a Pawlik pass and raced it to the Central 41. Neil Oslos, DePauw’s top rusher for the day with 60 yards in 18 carries, alternated gashes with Bart Simpson. They put the

ball in the first period and John Jewett made it 7-0 with hiskick. DePauw- had another golden opportunity in the second quarter. Marching through the rain and mud from their own 43, the Tigers were at the Central 20, first and 10. But the slippery ball played tricks on Simpson. It squirmed out of his hands as he went up the middle. Randy Gunyon recovered for the Greyhounds w ith 8:12 left in the half. Central’s deepest first half penetration followed, but Mitney missed a field goal from the DePauw 34, and the half ended w ith DePauw up-7-0. DePauw got another crack at the scoring column in the third period. Tiger lineman Kirk Dodds got the first of his ‘

Sort Simpson Picks DePauw For Academics

To a native Illini, DePauw University, Greencastle Indiana, and a football coach named Tom Mont are as familiar to the ear as a name of an unchartered, unexplored territory, and one of the local tribesmen. So was the scene almost four years ago w hen the Tiger’s coach paid a visit to Bart Simpson, at that time a senior halfback for Rich East High School, and a pretty good one at that. During his high school career Simpson was named AllConference Back and Most Valuable Back for the Park Forest area. He wanted to further his education, but where, he hadn’t of yet decided. “I received several offers from little schools, while some of the bigs schools like Indiana State, Eastern, Michigan, Dartmouth, and Columbia all expressed some interest. But, 1 wanted a football program that was not so stressed as the big schools indicated.’’ He choose not to go to Columbia because of his dislike for the East, and the rest of them well, “1 just saw phonv w ritten all over.” His primary interest was to get a good education while being able to play football, and DePauv seemed to be the place to go. “My parents had already made up their minds before 1 had, so I felt a little pressure from them.” but now after three years he’s glad he made the choice. According to Simpson, even after making the decision, he still got DePauw mixed up w ith DePaul in Chicago. “Yeah, I did. I was really surprised by the community, it seemed so small as compared to the Chicago area,” Simpson said. Despite his high school glories, Simpson admittingiy. wa<. a scared freshmen. He was so nervous, that according to the junior halfback, he dropped the ball alot during his first year here. “1 think 1 expected more of myself than they (the coaches) did of me. That, coupled with my nervousness, made me feel

like a fool out there on the field that first year." If that wasn't enough, Simpson was having difficulty in budgeting his time to include an ample number of hours for studying. His major, science, was requiring alot of time in the classroom and ovei the books at night, and according to Simpson, if he hadn't improved his study habits he might have been dropped from DePauw because “my grades were that bad.” Fortunately for Mont and his program Simpson learned to budget his time, because he now, according to the coach, is a leader both on and off the field. “He’s one of our finest citizens and most dedicated students we have on our team," Coach Mont said. Besides being an excellent student and citizen, Simpson is not doing too badly on the field now that he’s gotten over his jitterbugs. During the 1972 season Simpson carried the ball 187 times for 779 yards. He scored six touchdow ns and one twopoint conversion, good fora total of 38 points. He holds DePauw’s one season rushing record, and onegame rushing record--!70 yards. The halfback was also the team's leading scorer. Prior to this year he was threatening to break four other records, and excluding Saturday’s results, he had alreadybroken three of them, Simpson broke the career rushing mark in the Ohio Weslyan game, and he now has a total of 1499 yards. In last week’s St. Joseph game he broke the career scoring mark of 82 points, he now has 86. The halfback also owns the career record for most rushes. The old one was 334, he now has 370. He has one record left before graduation next yeax. career touchdowns. The current record stands at 13. and at the beginning ol the season he already had 11. It appears certain that record will fall. But. ail this excitement has seemed to pass Bart by. “T he records don't mean that much to me. I'd much prefer to leave DePauw knowing that 1 did a good job and

knowing the team has played good ball." He appears much more excited about this year's team than he does about breaking any more record. According to the 5T 1" junior, this year's team is the best since he's been at DePauw. “The guys are tired of playing the loser's role and are going to be suprising a lot of people before the year’s out. Our attitude has changed, and we're not going to be a 1-8 team this year!" Being Black made things a little difficult for Simpson his first year, because according to the 190 lb. halfback, the town is not too familiar with the Black race. “My first year here the towns people actually threw things at me when I was in the downtown area. And then, earlier this year a couple of guys tired to run me over.” But. according to Simpson, these small episodes haven't really upset him. “I don't try to push myself on anyone else. I've learned that if you do they'll then steroetype you, and that’s wrong right from the start." He says the racial barrier is decreasing with the major reason being an improvement in education on both the White and Black side. But. according to Simpson, it’s going to be a long time before the barriers have all subsided. But, right now. first things'first, Simpson and the Tigers w ant a w inning season, and better yet, want a share of the Indiana Collegiate Conference football title, if not all of it. And they can do it.

two fumble recoveries at the DePauw 41. Faced with fourth and five minutes later. Jewett tried a 46-yard field goal. It was short. Central proceeded to drive from its own 20 to DePauw’s 15 with the help of a 12-yard pass interference call. But Pawlik fumbled on the last play of the third period that prevented picking up a first down at DePauw’s 11. Mitney entered and on the first play of the last period dumped a 36-yard field goal that DePauw’s lead to 7-3. It looked as if that that field goal was going to be neutralized very quickly. DePauw was forced to punt on its next possession, but Pawlik fumbled it right back and Dodds recovered at the Central 26. Two plays and seven yards later DePauw was at the Greyhound 19 with 10:01 to go. But lightening struck Simpson again in the very same spot. He fumbled into Dave Woods hands at the 19 w ith 9:05 to play. Central played the odds for all they were worth in the ensuing series. Four times on critical third dow n plays Paw-

lik waved his magic—to pick up first downs—once on a run. and three times on passes. Two of them went to Dick Nally who accounted for 64 yards in thegame-winning 81yard drive that made the score 9-7. The conversion failed. Central added its final three points when the Tigers lost their fumble on their own 35 with 2:25 left in the game. Mitney hit the final fielder with 1:02 left. The game ended on Juarascio’s 10-yard completion to Jim Borling on the DePauw 32. Central, with Nalley’s 75 yards in 21 carries tops, outrushed DePauw 140-132. Pawlik hit five of 13 passes for 86 yards. Juarascio completed 4 of 10 for 41. Each had one intercepted. The winners’ had a 16-12 first down edge and each team lost three fumbles. 1 here were but three penalties for a total of 39 yards. Simpson finished behind Oslo’s 60 yaids with 41 in 16 carries. Borling had 18 in five, and Juarascio got 14 in eight. D 7 0 0 0 - 7 IC 0 0 0 12 -12

finished the meet with 36 points, Greencastle was a point shy with 37, South Putnam’s runners totaled 53, while North Putnam wrapped up the scoring with 144 points. The meet, ran in a downpour that lasted throughout the entire day, was the race that was expected was expected from all the coaches. Jay Franklin. Greencastle’s ace runner, and Jack Galloway, Cloverdale’s top harrier, battled it out right from the start for that number one slot. Galloway led throughout the entire race until Franklin, who had been riding on his heels, displayed his excellent kick with less than 50 yards remaining, and beat Jack by ten seconds. Keith Puckett, South Putnam’s top-chice sophomore finished fourth, 39 seconds behind Franklin. Fd Broadstreet South Putnam's ace, finished down in the pack, number 15th slot. Anxious, but a little hesitant, the four coaches got together and decided to run. despite the conditions. According to one of them it w as more of a day for ducks and mudders, but still anticipated a good race. Gary Lemmick, who had been Greencastle’s number

two man throughout the season. continued his ways, and finished thrid with a time of 14:44. Fifty-five runners competed in the meet which witnessed confusion and suspense at the end of the meet. Cutting charges were levied against a few of the runners, but after a coaches meeting, they finally announced the outcome. Franklin, who had set a new course record of 14:08 Friday night against Linton, was uncertain about the type of race he ran. “The meet went about the way I expected it to.” Franklin said. Because of the weather, I knew the times would be down a little bit, but I really don't know what kind of race you could call mine,” Franklin said following the win. According to North Putnam’s coach Gregory Ulm, Thornburg did not run the race that he want to, but the conditions of the turf might have ruined his bids. Top-10 Runners Franklin 14:21 G J.
