THE BIG ONE.

Ohio State, Michigan Set For Battle For The Roses Saturday

By JOE MOOSHIL Associated Press Sports Writer One more step, that’s all that’s left before Ohio State, the nation’s No. 1 team and Michigan, ranked fourth, clash in their inevitable battle for the Big Ten title and Rose Bowl bid. Both teams came through with expected victories Saturday as Ohio State crushed Michigan State 35-0 and Michigan received its expected battle from Illinois before prevailing 21-6. Ohio State Coach Woody Hayes continued to praise his Buckeyes and Michigan Coach Bo Schembechler continued to knock his Wolverines. In the meaningless other Big Ten games. Northwestern edged Indiana 21-20, Minnesota dumped Purdue 34-7 and Wisconsin hammered Iowa 35-7. Ohio State takes on Iowa Saturday and Michigan goes to Purdue as the two Big Ten powers complete business before their battle at Ann Arbor Nov. 24. Hayes, in his 23rd year as the Buckeye mentor, savored Saturday’s triumph. It marked the fourth shutout for the Buckeyes in five games and Woody dished out the superlatives again. “This is the best punt return unit I’ve had here. That Neal Colzie, is something. They get him started and then he does a Idt of it on his own.” Colzie, a defensive back, returned eight punts for 170 yards, including one for a 43yard touchdown and another for 46 yards which set up an

Ohio State touchdown. But what about Archie Griffin, the super-sophomore halfback? Griffin became the first Ohio State halfback to crack the 1,000 yard mark for rushing in a season. He gained 131 yards and now has gone over 100 yards a game in each outing this season. Griffin’s total of 1,012 yards wiped out the previous Buckeye mark of 64 by Howard “Hopalong” Cassady set 18 years ago. For years, Hayes always claimed Cassady was the best back Ohio State has ever had. Currently, Hayes is putting Griffin ahead of Cassady. While Hayes praises his Buckeyes, Schembechler knocks his undefeated Wolverines. Schembechler was fuming following Michigan’s victory over Illinois as the Wolverines lost the ball four times on six fumbles. “Next week my defensive scout team will tackle the ball on every down. And as for the first player who drops it. I’ll run him until his tongue hangs out. I have about had it with fumbles.” “We won against a good football team and I hope we learned something,” said Schembechler. Although the Big Ten race again boils down to Ohio State and Michigan, some noise was heard elsewhere in the league. Minnesota and Rick Upchurch came into their own against Purdue. Bill Marek ran wild for Wisconsin against Iowa, and Northwestern came

Players, Coaches Don’t Like Artificial Turf

WASHINGTON (AG) —John Brodie of the San Francisco 49ers said Monday artificial turf gets too hot. Brig Owens of the Washington Redskins said it causes too many injuries. In fact, leaders of the National Football League Players Association say most of the pro players don’t like. The players’ union held a one-day conference Monday in order, according to NFLGA President Bill Curry of the Houston Oilers, to put the focus on the dangers of synthetic turf. The association had speakers who gave talks on alternatives to artificial grass. The lineup of players opposed to playing on the ersatz grass was formidable—Brodie, Owens, Curry, Tom Keating of the Pittsburgh Steelers, John Wilbur and George Burman of the Washington Redskins and Rex Kern and Fred Hoaplin of the Baltimore Colts. The basic complaint voiced by the players was that the hardness and the heat increases the probability of injury. “It’s like playing on a concrete yard,” said Keating. Brodie said Roman Gabriel, when with Los Angeles, fell down without being hit and knocked himself out. Owens said the same thing happened to Leroy Kelly of the Cleveland Browns.

from nowhere to defeat Indiana. Upchurch, a junior fullback who has had problems living up to expectations, rushed for 177 yards and turned in a 21-yard touchdown run as Minnesota clobbered Purdue. Marek scored four touchdowns and rushed 30 times for 203 yards to lead Wisconsin past Iowa. He now has 957 yards rushing and should crack the 1,000-yard barrier against Northwestern next Saturday. Probably the most exciting game in the Big Ten Saturday was Northwestern’s one-point triumph over Indiana. The Wildcats took a 14-13 halftime lead. From then on nobody scored until the final two minutes of play. With 1:30 left to play, Willie Jones hurled a 30-yard pass to tight end Trent Smock to give

the Ho osiers a 20-14 lead. Northwestern then drove 68 yards in the final minute to score with the key glay being a 25-yard pass from Mitch Anderson to Steven Craig. The pass put the ball on the one-yard line before Greg Boykin blasted over for the winning score. “It wasn’t the Suger Bowl, but it was a helluva game,” said Northwestern Coach John Pont who last season left Indiana to coach at Northwestern. Meanwhile, Ohio State and Michigan have one hurdle remaining before their big clash at Ann Arbor. Ohio State takes on Iowa Saturday and Michigan goes to Purdue for what should be a tougher game. Minnesota will be at Illinois, Indiana at Michigan State and Northwestern at Wisconsin.

Weinert First U.S. Cycle Moto-Cross Winner

Brodie also said he played in Miami against the Dolghins in the opening game of the season and suffered heat prostration during the first half. “I put a towel on my head and didn’t play the second half,” he said. “A coach talked to me in the third quarter. He was doing a dance on the turf because it was so hot and asked me if I could go in for a few plays. I had to laugh.” Brodie said at least six 49ers suffered from heat protration because the temperature hit 120 degrees on the field. “They had to have people standing up on the plane because six of us had to lay down on the way home,” he said. “I’d hate to see that repeated, because we might lose a couple of guys.” Curry, presiding over the meeting with a cast on his left leg, broken in the Houston Astrodome five weeks ago, said he would not speculate whether the accident would have occurred if the game had been played on natural grass. But he added, “I can speculate my foot would not have stayed planted as long as it did on the artificial turf. I would have probably torn up a divot.” Curry said the conference was not held as a self-serving mechanism for the some 1,300 pro players.

By GEORGE STRODE Associated Press Sports Writer WESTERVILLE Ohio (AP) — Jim Weinert, a 22-year-old from Middletown, N. Y.' has become the first United States rider to win in three years of American Motorcycle TfansAMA moto-cross competition. Europeans had captured all of the previous 31 races. The overall titles had gone to Sylvain Geboers of Belgium in 1971 and Ake Jonsson last year. Adolph Weil, a middle-aged West German, had dominated the 1973 series, leading the point standings with 713. However, Weinert whipped the feared Weil at Houston lat week and attributed his upset to mental toughness. “I just kept thinkin’, Adolph, you ain’t nothin’,” Weinert said. “Consistent riding was what did it for me,” said the young New Yorker, the son of former cycling star Albert Weinert. “I kept my head and only lost my concentration once in 80 minutes of racing.” Weinert finished third behind Weil in the first moto. In the second moto, Weil went to the sidelines with a sticking throttle. Weinert finished second behind Californian Pierre Karsmakers for theoverall victory. Weinert achieved his upset despite muddy, rain-splattered terrain in the second moto. “When we first really got into moto-cross and I was one of the fastest guys,” Weinert recalled, “my American buddies told me, ‘Weinert, you ain’t nothin’.’ I kept thinking about it at Houston when I realized I had it all wrapped up.

“I sleep good at night knowing that no matter how fast I get, I still ain’t nothin’,” he said jokingly. Weinert says he has nothing personally against the European stars coming to America to race for big money. “It’s just that you get tired of getting beat,” he explained. “They’ve got 20 years of experience on us. I figured it was time somebody showed that European riders are human, too.”

Tobin and his DePauw teammates will face Wabash College at 10 a.m. in Boswell Field. A junior from St. Louis, Tobin is a threeyear veteran on the soccer squad that will be wrapping up its season in the traditional finals against the Little Giants.

Wonts Another 6-10 Ployer

EVANSVILLE Ind. (AG) - Gordon Stauffer, the head basketball coach at Indiana State University, only recently has come to fully aggreciate the word serendigity. The word was coined several centuries ago by Lord Horace Walgole, an English literary wit and rascal. It means a gift for finding things of value which were not sought. For instance, bending down to tie your shoelaces and discovering a wallet containing $500 and no identification. Stauffer, ogerating out of Indiana State’s main camgus at Terre Haute, has serendigity. He also has 6-foot-4 freshman Kevin Hay and 6-8 .soghomore Rick Williams. Wiliams comes first. A greg star at Glymouth, Ind., High School, he originally signed with Geggerdine in California. He stayed around long enough to lead the Baby Waves in scoring with a 22.4 scoring average, earn his club’s most valuable glayer award and helg beat UCLA’s vaunted freshman team. In the off-season, however, he became disenchanted with his

glush dormitory on the Geggerdine camgus at bikini-infested Malibu Beach and decided he wanted the dubious joys of Hoosier winters. He is now at Stauffer’s service. Hay, an All-American schoolboy glayer at Chicago’s Rich East High School, is an equally serendigitous acquisition for Indiana State. His early affection for the Indiana school was tenuous, to say the least. The Sycamores were one of several dozen universities that Hay summarily dismissed as the stage for his talents. He signed a national letter of intent with Louisiana State University and was aggarently read to sgend the next four years in Louisiana’s bayou country. Stauffer said, “I left for two weeks at a Brazilian basketball clinic and when I came back they (his staff) said that Hay had signed with us.” He added, “I told my assistants, Til go back to Brazil for another two weeks and you find me a 6-10 kid while I’m gone.’

Owner Of The Q’s Is Told To Move His Team To LA.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The American Basketball Association has told the owner of the ABA’s hottest team to move to Los Angeles — for all intents and purposes. The San Diego Conquistadors, winners of two straight games, may be moving to Los Angeles, as early as this season sometime, following a letter sent from ABA Commissioner Mike Storen to Q’s owner Leonard Bloom. “The letter urged Bloom to investigate the feasibility of a move,” said a spokesman for Storen, “either to Los Angeles or to some other alternative. That would include the possibility of his finding something else in San Diego.” The “something else” would mean a larger arena than the San Diego State University gymnasium or the civic 'arena which hold less than 4,000 fans. In San Diego, only the Sports Arena would fill the bill. But the bill is too large, said Bloom, a wealthy orthodontist. Canadian financier Peter Graham, operator of the 14,500seat arena, would charge him $6,000 per night for the use of the place. Bloom said, even though some local college groups have obtained the arena for $1,500. Thus the ABA’s letter means only one thing to Bloom — move north. “The league has told me to go to Los Angeles,” Bloom said flatly after his team had beaten Indiana Sunday night 102-101. “The league feels San Diego

isn’t a good city for the ABA. What can I say to them? They prefer a team in the Los Angeles market area to one in the San Diego market. It’s as simple as that.” Only three years ago, the Bill Sharman-coached Los Angeles Stars were sold to a Utah owner and moved to Salt Lake City after attendance in Los Angeles

was infinitesimal. The hopes Bloom had of keeping the Conquistadors in the San Diego area probably died when a ballot initiative last Tuesday in nearby Chula Vista was turned down by voters. If passed, the measure would have permitted Bloom to build a giant arena-shopping complex-housing development.

4TD’s Hi 14 JUiMtes Cathedral Upsets Show Between Kingpins

By THEASSOCIA TED CRESS Indianagolis Cathedral, a team with a flair for the dramatic, threw a monkeywrench into the expected showdown between Indiana high school footb a 1 1 kinggins Bloomington South and South Bend Washington. The Irish scored four touchdowns in the first 14 minutes of play against favored South, then held on for a 32-28 victory Saturday night in a semifinal game of the Indiana High School Athletic Association’s first state playoffs. South’s Panthers, owners of the nation’s longest winning string at 60, and Washington’s Panthers tied for first place in the final Associated Press poll of the season and were favored to settle the issue once and for all in next weekend’s AAA division finale. But somebody forgot to tell third-ranked Cathedral, 11-0, the script South Bend Washington stopped No. 6 Hammond Gavit 27-14 to move to the finals as the host school with an 11-0 record. The game has tentatively been set for School Field in South Bend Friday night. Bloomington, 9-1, lost for the first time since November of 1967, but the writing was on the wall when Cathedral’s Vince Paughan ran back the opening kickoff 95 yards for a score. Cathedral then recovered a Bloomington punt on the ensuing kickoff and scored four plays later on a 30-yard pass from Dave Zagg to Rodney Bums. Zagg also connected with halfback Bob Willis for a 34yard score on the last play of the first period to offset South’s first touchdown, which came on a five-yard pass from Marc Lunsford to Greg Paris. A 51-yard pass-run bomb from Zagg to Joe Kelly made the score 26-7 early in the second period and, after South surged back to 26-21 on a 19-yard pass from Lunsford to Paris and Lunsford’s one-yard sneak, but a 55-yard run with a fumble recovery by junior guard Bob Bowman made it 32-21 with 2:30 left. South’s final score on the last play of the game was meaningless. Bloomington Coach Tom Sells said, “Cathedral plays error free football and we made errors (losing five of six fumbles). We’ve won a lot of games ourselves that way.” He added, “You don’t give up 32 goints and win football games.” Cathedral mentor Mike McGinley explained, “We prepared mentally all week by telling the boys it was Cathedral tradition against Bloomington’s 60-game winning streak and we didn’t think that their streak

could hold up to our tradition. "We didn’t think they (Bloomington) could be stopped easily, so we decided to go with our basis defense and worked all week on offense,” McGinley said. “We figured that when they’d get seven, we’d get seven, too.” In A A division activity, Greenfield Central, 11-0, surprised Tell Qty—the nominal A A favorite—28-7, and Blackford, 9-2, dumged previously unbeaten Wawassee 28-14. The winners will meet next weekend at Greenfield. Greenfield quarterback Paul Reuter was the man of the hour for Central as he passed for a pair of touchdowns and ran for a third. He wound up with 175 yards passing and 21 rushing, including a 17-yard scamper for the opening touchdown which put his team ahead to stay. Tell City ended its season with a 9-2 mark. Leroy Robbins recovered a blocked punt in the Wawasee end zone in the final period for Blackford’s last touchdown to seal the victory. Robbins had also scored on a 25-yard pass from Jeff Perry in the second period as the teams forged a 14-14 halftime deadlock. But Perry dived across from the one for the g^-ahead score in the third period and Robbins’ recovery put it away. Blackford actually dominated the game, running 71 plays to only 37 for Wawasee and winning the total offense battle 397 to 161. Finally, Saturday’s A division semifinals featured a pair ol romps. Eighth-ranked Clarksville Providence popped Hamilton Heights 40-0 to win the host role for the finals against No. 13 Mishawaka Marian, which belted Woodlan 42-0. The state’s leading scorer for 1973, senior halfback Pat Harris, placed Providence with 145 yards in 23 carries and two touchdowns. Harris, who now has 190 points, carried only three times in the second half after helping the Pioneers to a 26-0 halftime lead. Hamilton Heights was the Clarksville school’s sixth straight shutout victim. The Pioneers have now won 20 straight games, 11 this season, taking over from Bloomington as the state’s longest-winning team. Heights, 9-1, gave Providence a hand by giving up six interceptions and four fumbles. Marian’s Knights raised their record to 9-2 as they trounced previously unbeaten (9-1) Woodlan. Nick Barnes and Nick DiGcco were the leaders for Marian, scoring two touchdowns apiece. The Knights rushed for 272 yards and held Woodlan to 48

yards on the ground as they dominated right from the kickoff. Costello Soys Win Streak Built On Offense Despite the tact that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Oscar Robertson each scored 24 points Sunday, Milwaukee Buck Coach Larry Costello contends his team’s 12-game winning streak has been built not on offense, but defense. “Our defense has been the most consistent factor in our streak,” Costello said after the Bucks had beaten the Capital Bullets 110-91 Sunday night. “Tonight we tried to take their fast break away and force them to shoot from outside.’’The Bucks strategy paid off as the Bullets were able to connect on only 33 of 100 shots while the Bucks made 46 of 85. In other National Basketball Association action, Kansas Gty-Omaha beat Cleveland 10393 and Chicago defeated Seattle 116-98. The New York Nets defeated San Antonio 106-94 and San Diego defeated Indiana 102-101 in American Basketball games.
