Darkness Denies Tiger Sweep

DePauw’s Tiger baseballers roared to a 9-1 drubbing of Rose-Hulman in the first game of a doubleheader here yesterday, and then saw a three run lead disappear in the nightcap before the game was called on account of darkness, knotted at five. Dom DeNunzio provided the initial power in the opener, lining a double in the first inning with a pair of teammates aboard to erase a 1-0 Rose lead and put the Tigers ahead to stay. DePauw added three more in he second inning, and a pair each in the fifth and sixth, one of the deuces as a result of another DeNunzio double, giving the Tiger firstbaseman four RBI's for the contest. Jim Buelow hurled shutout ball after the lone unearned Rose run in the first, scattering six hits among the Rose lineup.

The Tigers kept their hats in the fire between games, jumping on Rose starter Curt Vapor for a pair of scores in the first and three more in the third inning of the nightcap. Meanwhile, Rose got to Tiger starter Norman Leonard for two in the first but the freshman pitcher settled down to blank Rose for the next two frames. However, Rose rose to the occasion in the fourth,knocking three markers across before Ed Hackney came in to put out the fire.

The score stood tied at five at the end of the regulation seven innings, and two more frames did nothing to change it before darkness set in. Larry Browning collected a pair of singles for DePauw, who could muster little in the way of an attack after the third frame, as Vapor set 12 Tigers in a row in one stretch from the fourth to eighth innings. Coach Ed Meyer’s forces will next see action Saturday, when they host rival Wabash for a twinball.

Question Mark For Greencostle Track Team

“I’m not predicting anything until the first meet, after the kids get their feet wet.” That’s what Greencastle track coach Kevin Vana had to say about this year’s squad, which will undergo its first test Friday at West Vigo in a triangular meet with the Vikings and North Central. Practicing seriously since mid-March, Vana has had an average of 27-28 boys out for the team, some of them showing up more regularly now that the meets are approaching. Adding to the question mark about the Cub tracksters are two potentially big point getters whose attentions have been diverted from the cinders. Jay Franklin, a senior distance man who was the Cubs' number one cross country runner last fall is now

dividing his time between the track and the links. If enough attention is given to his running, Franklin could help make the distance events a Cubstrongpoint. Aiding Franklin will be Dave Phillips, a returning junior letterman, Terry Peer, Mark Carr, Robin Marrero, Mike Delp. and Gary Williams. The other diversion was provided in the last six weeks grading period, when junior sprinter and high jumper Bob Fisher was declared academically ineligible. Fisher could become eligible by midApril, and bring his talents to the track to chalk up points for Greencastle. Another top point getter could be sophomore Larry Williams, a sprinter and hurdler who is regarded by Vana

as being capable of bringing in in the area of 80 points for the Cubs. The situation presently in the sprint events, according to Vana is “sketchily strong.” “We have a few good runners, but are not deep. We’ll probably get our share of seconds and thirds.” Working for this share will be Scott Burke, also a high jumper, Tim Trigg, Howard Friend, Rod Harris, and Terry Dawson, a transfer student from South Putnam who has had his share of back trouble this spring. Another Eagle transfer student, Ken Ferrand, will be running the middle distances for Vana, where he is joined by returning letterman Ron Greenlee, Mark Cox, Virgil Eiteljorge, and Bob Thomas. Helping out in the hurdles

will be Larry Myers. Turning to the field events, Vana has Mike De Vylder putting the shot and long jumping, Brent O’Neal, Ken Myers, and Rick Ward, shot and discus, Brian Morris and Keith Pingleton, pole vault, and Dan Waley, highjump. Looking at his squad, Vana says that there is no superstar, but some good workers, some people to do the job. There is a solid nucleus, made up of the majority of boys working hard, which is gaining enthusiasm as the competition of meets gets closer. Speaking of goals, Vana wants his team to do well enough in the W1C meet to insure that the Cubs continue to lead the conference in the allsports standings, pointing to a fourth or better finish.

Greencastle

Concerning the county meet, Greencastle’s cross country team lost last fall’s county meet by one point, and have sent some distance men to the track team with memories of that defeat. Whether the conference or

county, Vana knows that the competition is going to be there. If the pieces fall into place for the Cubs with getting enough time from Franklin and Fisher and hard work from everyone else, they should be ready to handle it.

Stabler Joins Jumpers

NEW YORK (AP} — The opportunity to play football in his native Alabama lured quarterback Ken Stabler away from the National Football League Oakland Raiders Tuesday in another major signing coup by the new World Football League. Hot on the heels of the jump to Toronto by Miami’s Larry Csonka, Jim Kiick and Paul Warfield, Stabler agreed to a multi-year contract beginning with the 1976 season with the WFL’s Birmingham Americans. The contract makes him the highest paid player in professional football history, according to one of his agents, but both Stabler and Bill Putnam, chairman of the board of the Americans, refused to discuss the terms at a news conference called here to announce the signing. Asked if it was more or less than the reported S3-mil-lion package the Miami three had received Sunday, Stabler would only grin and say, “more or less.” Instead of discussing money, Stabler preferred to emphasize his desire to return to Alabama. He was raised there and played his collegiate football at the University of Alabama, leading the Crimson Tide to an 11-0 record in his senior year before being drafted by the Raiders. Stabler led all American Football Conference passers last season. He has one more year remaining on his Raider contract and then will honor his option year as well. That means he won’t join Birmingham until 1976. “We didn’t give Oakland a chance to match the offer," said Stabler. “They couldn’t give me the opportunity to play in the south that Birmingham did.” Asked his reaction to the signing of Stabler, Raiders managing general partner A1 Davis, in Oakland, released a

formal statement. “Ken Stabler is a great young quarterback," the statement said in part. “He has several years yet to play with the Raiders. Other than that, as you know, we don’t comment on signings of our players. Stabler said the jump of Csonka, Kiick and Warfield had not influenced his move and that his agents had begun talking to Birmingham in January. “I would think, thoujgh, that it—the Dolphins’ jumping—will cause other players to think seriously about the WFL.” Putnam said the Americans have signed several other NFL players but that announcements were being withheld at the request of the players.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Five starters for the Baltimore Colts of the National Football League said Tuesday they would jump to the rival World Football League if the price was right. All five—linebackers Mike Curtis and Ted Hendricks, defensive end Roy Hilton, running back Don McCauley and safety Rick Volk—are into the option year of their contracts with the Colts. “Loyalty doesn’t have anything to do with it,” said Hendricks, a Pro Bowl selection last season. “We’re not playing college ball anymore. We can’t look at these offers as football players, but as businessmen.” Curtis, one of the game’s top middle linebackers, said the WFL “will be a viable alternative, now that somebody has broken the ice.” He was referring to the signings by the WFL Toronto Northmen of Larry Csonka, Jim Kiick and Paul Warfield of the Super Bowl champion Miami Dolphins for a combined S3 million Sunday, and the signing of Oakland's Ken Stabler by the WFL Birmingham Americans Monday.

Ford Gets Opening Day Nod

CINCINNATI (AP) - Vice President Gerald Ford has confirmed he will throw out the first ball Thursday at the opening National League baseball game between the Cincinnati

Reds and the Atlanta Braves, the Reds said Tuesday. Ford accepted an invitation from baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn and Reds President Bob Howsam.

g ARLINGTON, Tex. APBob Short, who moved the ¥ Washington baseball franchise to Texas two years ago and triggered some hard fcel- :% ings in the American League, § sold controlling interest for an estimated S9 million

Tuesday.

The buyer was a group of Dallas-Fort Worth businessmen headed industrialist •g Brad Corbett of Fort Worth. Short, who retained about 10 per cent interest in the team, said he lost SI million in the two years the franchise has been in Texas. However, it was expected he still will come out with a paper profit # of some $6000,000 plus capital gains tax write-offs. Corbett’s partners in the venture include Edward ¥ “Buzz” Kemble, a Fortworth K lawyer; Amon Carter Jr., pubk lisher of the Fort Worth Starg Telegram; Bill Harvey; Dr. Bobby Brown a heart specialist j;j and former New York Yankee star third baseman; and g Dallas businessmen Bill Seay,

Short, who was in his sixth year as the owner of the team, was criticized by the Washington press when he moved the team to Texas, and Commissioner Bowie Kuhn was not happy with the transfer at the g time. However, Kuhn has since said the Dallas-Fort Worth area should prosper as

a ranchise.

The flamboyant Short spared no expense in trying to make the Rangers a respectable team. He hired Hall of Fame great Ted Williams, Whitey Herzog and Billy Martin as managers. Both Williams and Herzog gailed to motivate baseball’s worst

team.

Martin was hired last September. A close personal Q friend of Short, Martin said S the sale would make no dif-

ference.

“I still intend to make this team a winner," said Martin, who signed a five-year con-

tract.

Pacers Even Series

INDIANAPOLIS (AP>-“1 thought I shot more than nine of 13 from the three-point range,” said Billy Keller who led Indiana to a 128-101 victory over San Antonio Monday night in the American Basketball Association playoffs. The nine 3-point goals by the veteran Pacer guard are a record. “I thought I had two more; but the referee said I was out of bounds on one, and I guess the last one was just too late.” said Keller, 5 feet 10, who finished with 39 points. Indiana’s victory evened the West Division first-round series at one game each. The third game will be at San Antonio Wednesday night. The Pacers played an aggressive defense from the start and never trailed. They jumped to a 10-2 lead, and the closest the Spurs came after that was four points, 16-12. Indiana built the lead to 25 points in the second period and to 28 in the third. Indiana Coach Bobby Leonard said, “Forget the offense. This series to me is defense, and that’s the way we have to play it. That defense tonight is the way we are playing the series. We’re not going to change now.” Keller’s 39 points are a career high for the five-year veteran. “He was hot," Leonard commented. “He could have hit ’em from midcourt tonight." Pacer Forward Geroge McGinnis scored 30 points, while Rich Jones topped the Spurs with 26. NBA All Series Best-of-7
