Greencastle Wins Ninth
Greencastle won their ninth straight football game last night by defeating visiting Schulte, 13-7, in overtime and assured themselves of only their second Western Indiana Conference crown since the school has had a
football team.
Stacey Spencer, junior running back, tied up the fiercely contested clash with less than two minutes remaining in the game when he dashed from the 20 yard line. Greencastle’s first touchdown, and the only one coming in regulation time, was set up afte the Tiger Cubs’ punting team recovered a loose ball on the Schulte’s 34 yard line. But it was sheer determination, combined with a little luck, that pulled the game out for the Tiger Cubs. Schulte controlled most of the game, running off 37 plays in the first half and bettering the Greencastle defense for 7 first downs. If it wasn’t for the toughening up of the Cubs’ defense inside the Greencastle’s 20, the score could have easily been in favor the Golden Bears. The Tiger Cubs’ offense only managed to scrape a total of 18 plays in the first half and only one meager first down. Schulte kept on hitting the two guard holes for enough yardage to total outclass the “homesters” in the first half.
“They were the second toughest defensive unit we’ve played against all year,” Junior center, Rick Wokoun, said after the game. According to the 5-11, 175 lb. lineman, Danville was the top-most on his list. The half ended, never-the-less, a 0-0 tie, before the visitors returned to the field to pick up where they left off minutes earlier. The Golden Bears scored the first tally on a one yard run up the middle with 4:49 left in the third quarter. The point after attempt was good. It looked hopelessly lost for the Tiger Cubs as they continued to search for that elusive undefeated season, until Spencer poked over that tying touchdown in the final quar-
ter.
Greencastle faced their second overtime game of the season after defeating Plainfield 19-13 four weeks ago. The visitors got their hands on the ball the first time around, but met a stubborn Cubs’ defense head on and' failed to score. It was the time for the “Purple Power” to explode, and after two running plays. Junior Bill Jeffries bulled his way over from the five to set the stands to near bedlam. In the final quarter, senior lineman Carter Bock was taken
to the hospital after suffering a jammed spine. He was later released by team physician Dr. James Lett after X-rays showed no serious damagq. Dr. Lett said a neck muscle had been strained. Greencastle puts it on the line next week against an already psyched up Brazil club at Brazil. Greencastle ..Jt 0 0 7 t—13 Schulte Jt 0 7 0 0—7 Clovers Stomped, 12-0 Cloverdale dropped its final home game of the season Friday night to conference foe Cascade, 12-0. The visitors managed to capitalize on two major Cloverdale errors. A fumbled punt return in the second quarter led to Cascade’s first score. It came on a nine yard pass from quarterback Gary Shipley to Roy Western with 1:33 left in the half. Cascade blocked a punt late in the third quarter to set up the final touchdown, coming on a 10 yard pass from Shipley to Steve Hopper with 2:36 remaining in the period. The Clovers were unable to capitalize on a first half interception by Tom Alexander. The win raised Cascade’s
record to 6-3. Cloverdale, now 2-7, plays its final game of
G.H.S.
Cougars Win, 22-20 North Putnam defeated Owen Valley, 22-20, last night in a conference game played at South Putnam. The Cougars jumped to a 14-0 first quarter lead. Rod Zimmerman scored the first touchdown from the one with 7:31 left in the period. The PAT was good on a pass from Steve Bullerdick to Rex Call. An eight yard touchdown pass to Mike Greene from Bullerdick came with 36 seconds remaining in the first
Quarter.
North Putnam scored its final touchdown with 10:16 left in the game on Bullerdick’s one yard run. Zimmerman’s PAT run made it 22-14. The Patriots scored on a 20 yard pass from quarterback Mike King to Trowbridge with 1:58 left, but the Cougars stopped the PAT run to preserve the victory.

ICC Spotlight On Indy
&XWX-X-X-X-X-X-X*X->:*:*X*^^ R i V a Ridge, Secretariat’s
stablemate in his farewell in the Jockey Club Gold Cup Saturday at Aqueduct—or Angel Cordero were expected to re-
place Turcotte.
Official entries for the race, over 1 5-8 miles on the grass were to be made today, with the 3-year-old Secretariat getting in with a feathery 117 pounds under the weight-for
age conditions.
Among the Triple Crown winner’s expected opponents were Kennedy Road, Big Spruce and Triangular, 126 each.
By THE ASSOC/A TED PRESS This is the time of the year when “must” game^ seem to pop up all over the place. And the world of Indiana college
football is no exception.
The biggest one is probably the battle at Indianapolis between the top two rushing teams in the Indiana Collegiate Conference- Butler and surpris-
ing DePauw.
Butler has been a bit of a disappointment this season, compiling a so-so 3-3 record thus far. But the Bulldogs are tied for the top spot in the ICC with a 2-0 record and remain the favorite to take the title. Depauw is 4-2 and 2-1 in the conference and, although Butler’s Bill Sylvester warned the Tigers might roar. Tommy Mont’s team has caught some people by surprise. Both teams need this game to stay with unbeaten Indiana Central. The Greyhounds are 2-

0 in ICC play and 7-0 overall. Bill Sylvester said, “DePauw has a well balanced football team with a good offense, particularly its rushing attack, and a tough defense. We’ll have our hands full.” Mont, who has made a reputation as a very funny afterdinner speaker, was totally serious and happy when he said, “Our team has begun to think in terms of going all the
way.”
Meanwhile, Indiana Central hopes to equal its best start ever with a victory at Valparaiso. The Crusaders are 0-2 in ICC play and 3-4 overall, but the Greyhounds can’t afford to suffer a letdown. In non-conference activity involving ICC teams, St. Joseph’s plays at Eastern Illinois, Evansville plays host to Southwest Missouri and Wabash visits Rose-Hulman. The Hoosier-Buckeye Conference has its share of key games this weekend, too. Bluffton still hangs on to its slim HBC lead despite suffering its first loss in five conference starts last weekend. But, the Beavers play Ohio Northern in a non-conference battle this weekend, giving others a chance to play catchup.
A crowd of 3,000 turned out on a foggy morning Thursday to watch Secretariat put in his
final serious workout.
“Everything is go,” said Meadow Stable trainer Lucien Laurin after Secretariat worked five-eighths of a mile in 57 3-5 and went out three quarters in
1:103-5.
“He handled the turf very well and accelerated when he hit the dirt strip,” said Turcotte, who rode Secretariat in the workout. After five-eighth of mile on the Woodbine turf course, horses have to cross 100-foot dirt strip before getting back on the grass. Following the workout, Laurin, also a Canadian native, and Turcotte returned to New York, where Turcotte was informed of his suspension by the stewards at Aqueduct. The suspension stemmed from a disqualification in a race at Aqueduct Wednesday in which Turcotte’s mount finished first but was disqualified to second for interference in the stretch.
Nelson Undergoes Surgery
Roger Nelson, Cincinnati Reds pitcher, underwent surgery on his pitching arm at Christ Hospital in Cincinnati yesterday. The veteran righthander was hampered much of the 1973 season with a nerve problem in the lower part of his right arm that began with an acute elbow strain. Nelson’s problem has been diagnosed as an entrapment
of the ulnar nerve just below the right elbow and Dr. Frank Mayfield, Cincinnati neurosurgeon, will operate to free the nerve, which is believed to be caught in scar tissue. Nelson was on the disabled list twice during the 1973 season, a total of eight weeks, and appeared in just 14 games for the Reds. He had a 3-2 record.
That Wraps It Up Folks— South Putnam football team concluded their season last night against a tough Edgewood team. Despite their losing record Eagles’ coach Larry Stanley thinks that the year was a plus for the team. “The boys grew together like a team should, and they’re already looking forward to next season,” Stanley said earlier this week. So, fans will have to put away their stadium blankets and the players will store their helmets until next season, when, according to Stanley, the team will be much better.

Woman Reporter Hassles Pats
BOSTON (AP>- Chuck Fairbanks, the rookie coach of the New England Patriots, has two worries for Sunday. One is the world champion Miami Dolphins whom the Pats face at Schaefer Stadium in Foxboro and the other is a perky 24-year-old blonde named Barbara Borin. No, she doesn’t play for the Dolphins. Miss Borin is the weekend sports anchorperson for WNACTV, in Boston, and the last barrier in her crusade for equal news gathering rights is the New England Patriots locker room. She insists she needs access to the Pats’ dressing quarters to compete with rival stations.
“1 have to conduct my interviews in the players parking lot now,” she explains,” and this puts me an hour behind my competitors.” Miss Borin is adamant in her request. But so is Fairbanks about keeping her out. There has to be “consideration of privacy of other individuals. “Have you ever considered that there may be players who may not want her in the locker room?” he asked. “I’m only looking for a compromise situation,” claims Miss Borin, "and I’m not after carte blanche or a utopian situation, just want to be able to do my job.” Barbara claims she has reached that situation with other teams on her beat, the Bos-
ton Celtics, Bruins, Red Sox and New England Whalers. While covering those teams she is allowed to conduct her interviews in training areas adjacent to the main locker room. “I haven’t seen a naked athlete yet,” she says. But after a Patriots game, she is turned away at the locker room door. “I don’t have any desires to stand around and fraternize with naked football, baseball, basketball and hockey players,” she says. “I can be just as embarrassed as the next girl. “But 1 think if the Patriots issue me credentials, signed by Chuck Fairbanks that allow entrance to the locker room, they should honor them.” One Pats’ spokesman says
isn’t space, or equipment
that there just short of boiler
rooms, for Miss Borin to interview, adding that the team doesn’t own the stadium and can’t initiate a remodeling proj-
ect.
But one of Fairbanks early moves as coach and general manager was refurbishing of the Pats dressing quarters to include wall-to-wall carpet, lounge chairs and a stereo system. Miss Borin has considerable backing. She says many of the Pats players are behind her but are afraid to speak out because “Fairbanks might fine them.” She claims she is not a women’s liberationist. “Far from it,” she says, “I enjoy being a woman and being treated like one.”

Jenkins, a 20-game winner for six straight seasons with the Chicago Cubs before falling to 14-16 this year, was dealt Thursday to the Texas Rangers! the last-place team in the American League West, for Bill Madlock and Vic Harris. McCovey, who has blasted 413 career homers for the San Francisco Giants, but was critical of Manager Charlie Fox for benching him in 1973, was traded to the San Diego Padres, the last place club in the
National League West, for pitcher Mike Caldwell. In addition, the Padres will receive minor league outfielder Bernie Williams. - In other baseball developments, American League President Joe Cronin asked Detroit for details on the signing of Manager Ralph Houk from the New York Yankees and slugger Frank Howard was given his release by the Tigers. Jenkins, 29, the National League's Cy Young Award winner in 1971, said in mid-season that he just didn’t feel like playing baseball. New Ranger manager, Billy Martin said of the trade: “Jenkins gives us the stopper we needed desperately. “He’s a workhorse and he’s a winner. Getting Jenkins is the first big step toward establishing our
pitching staff and turning things around for the Rangers.” Jenkins, who lives in Canada,, was not available for comment. Cub Manager Whitey Lockman viewed the trade as part of Chicago’s “youth and speed” movement. Of infielder-out-fielder Madlock, 22, he said: “Our scouts are extremely high on him as being one of the best hitting prospects they have seen in some time.” Harris, 23, played centerfield and second base for the Rangers. On the other hand, McCovey was displeased because he wasn’t playing enough baseball. The 15-year veteran said last July that he shouldn’t “have to prove anything to anybody and added: “If you don’t think 1 can still do the job, ask the op-
position and see what they say.” In a part-time role, the lefthanded hitting McCovey managed 29 homers. “I decided I would rather play in San Diego than anyplace else,” the 35-year-old McCovey said by phone from his San Francisco home. “I know I can help the Padres. 1 just hope thay don’t leave San Diego.” McCovey, plagued by knee and foot injuries throughout much of his career, led the National League in homers in 1968 and 1969, and tied Hank Aaron for the homer title in 1963. Caldwell, 24, was used mostly in relief last season and had a 5-14 record with a 3.74 earned run average. Howard, 37, whose 382 career homers gave him the 17th spot
on the all-time list, was given his release. Jim Campbell, Tiger executive vice president and general manager, said he offered the affable Howard a job as a minor league manager in the Detroit chain but Howard turned it down.
The Tigers thought they had a manager when Ralph Houk resigned as manager of the Yankees and then was signed to manage Detroit. But AL President Joe Cronin has decided to take a look into the situation.
