Greencastle Grid Reserves Shut Out Cloverdale, 24-0

Greencastle’s B football team blasted its way to its second consecutive victory Monday evening on the home field, shutting out Cloverdale’s reserves, 24-0. Coupled with last week’s 22-0 whitewashing of Southmont the Cub reserves have yet to be scored upon this year, their defense Monday night not permitting the Clovers to penetrate within their 30 yard line even once. All of the scoring came in the first half, Howard Friend kicking off the explosives with a 15 yard paydirt run around

end late in the first quarter. The Cub running back added the first of three two point conversions himself. Early in the second period quarterback Bill Earl found Tim Craddick with a pass that the end took 60 yards for the

second TD. Earl passed to Lee Pingleton for the extra points. Jeff Mager rounded out the touchdown parade shortly before the intermission with a 25 yard run through the middle of the line. Doug Smith con-

verted on a sweep to bring about the final tally. The Cub reserves, now 2-0, will try to make it three in a row when they travel- to Plainfield next Monday to meet the Quakers.

DePauw Harriers Third At Wabash Invitational

Wabash College won its own cross country meet Saturday in

Cougar Reserves Edge Cascade

The North Putnam B footballteam, following the lead shown them by their varsity counterparts Friday night, waited until the fourth quarter to overcome a Cascade lead Monday evening, finally squeaking by with less room to spare than the varsity, 7-6. A Cadet second quarter touchdown had put the Cougars in the hole on their own field,

but Steve Green carried them out of it with a 56 yard paydirt run in the final period. Ernie O Hair then booted the extra point that spelled the difference and extended the Cougar reserves’ record to 2-0. The North Putnam B team will again be at home next Monday night when Fountain Central comes to visit at 6:30.

The Little Giants scored 11 team points followed by Hanover (19), Rose-Hulman (20), DePauw (29), and Northwood Institute (51). The Wabash duo of Joe Tanner and Henry O’Connell had the best two-man time with

a 29:40 clocking. DePauw’s first twosome of Greg Conner and Doug Ruud scored fifth among the 23-man pairs in a time of 30:04. DePauw's next entry of Mark Lindsey and Jeff McCall finished 11th in 31:39 and the third DePauw pair wound up 13th with Steve Bratton and Bruce Long finishing in 31:54.

Ferguson Tosses Bring Win To Simpson-less Bills

BUFF'ALO, N.Y. (AP) — It looked hopeless for the young quarterback who had performed so well-well enough to bring his team from behind in the final two minutes to what looked like victory. The clock had showed 1:55, and Buffalo suddenly was on top, 14-13. Then a fumble. And just as quickly as 260-pound lineman

Ail Thoms could lumber 29 yards, the Oakland Raiders led the Bills 20-14. Just over a minute remained The young quarterback huddled with his offensive unit “I'll do my best," Joe Ferguson told his teammates. “But we’ve got to throw and I need protection.” Protection he got. and throw he did. And Bills won 21-20

Monday night. Without O.J. Simpson. For the Raiders, losing their opener for the fif*h year in a row.'it was a tremendous letdown . Even with Simpson, the National Football League's premier running back sidelined with an ankle sprain suffered in the second quarter, the Bills came back. And it was Joe Ferguson, the second-year player out of Arkansas who was the league’s worst quarterback a season ago, who did it with three sharp completions. Two of them including the 13-yard winner, went to Ahmad Rashad, the fellow who had also caught the pass minutes before that briefly put die Bills ahead 1413. After the final FergusonRashad completion, the Bills

still were forced to hold their breath. In 26 seconds the Raiders moved close enough for 47-year-old George Blar.da to try a 50-yard field goal at the gun. He missed. Simpson was injured in the closing seconds of the first half as he completed a 20-yard run. The sprain was described as “slight to moderate.” There was no word Tuesday on whether Simpson eouid face the Miami Dolphins here Sunday. Simpson said his injury "probably was the best thing that could have happened” to the Bills. “So many people think it's ah me,” he said. “We had to group after O.J. got hurt and come out there and et it,” Rashad said. Which is exactly what Rashad and the young quarterback did.

317 N. JACKSON - GREENCASTLE IND

DELWARE, Ohio (AP) - Stable crews for co-favorites Boyden Hanover and Title Holder oozed with confidence Tuesday after the draw for the $1.32,630 Little Brown Jug. The middle jewel of 3-yearold pacing’s Triple Crown drew 17 colts, producing a record purse by more than $12,000 for Thursday's classic at the Delaware County Fairgrounds. The entries, two short of the 1971 record of 19, forced two elimination divisions with the

Bright spots in the otherwise bleak day for the Cubs were the continued improved running of Marrero and the appearance of Connie Hunter in his first meet of the fall, as the previously injured Cub came in 17th.

drew,” said Billy Herman, who drove Boyden Hanover in the Cane. George Sholty will be m Boyden’s sulky for the Jug. however. “We like to be right in the middle of the track on a halfmile track. Our colt is versatile so the draw doesn’t make that much difference,” Herman said. Boyden Hanover, a son of 1967 Jug victor Best of All, has won eight of 14 starts this year for career earnings of more than $300,000. Sholty is his principal owner. Title Holder, meanwhile, burst into national prominence with his Jug Preview upset of Boyden Hanover at Scioto Downs. He’s campaigned mainly at Northfield Park near Cleveland and shows 10 victories in 18 1974 races. Tom Brinkerhoff, a rookie Jug pilot behind Title Holder, said, “The driver, by far, isn’t everything. You’ve got to have the horse. If this colt is as good Thursday as he has been, he’ll be tough.” Billy Haughton, the only driver to win four Jugs, entered a powerful, four-horse entry topped by Armbro Omaha, The Adios champion.

Parseghian: It Doesn f t

Mean A Doggone Thing

By JERRY I.ISKA AP Sports Writer CHICAGO (AP) - “It doesn’t mean a doggone thing being rated No 1 this early in the season.” That was coach Ara Parseghian’s reaction Tuesday to the top ranking of his once-vic-torious Notre Dame team in the AP s national college football poll this week. “I think you have to wait until at least five games are played, until you know who is who, and it’s Jan. 2 when the ratings really count,” Parseghian said in a telephonic report to the Chicago Football Writers. Notre Dame's Fighting Irish opened Sept. 9 with a 31-7 victory over Georgia Tech and play their next game Saturday against Northwestern at Evanston. “We’ll get a better test of our - overall defense against Northwestern, because we have an inexperienced secondary,” said Parseghian. “Georgia Tech used the wishbone attack and it was strictly a running attack which I think we can . stop. Although Northwestern was whomped 41-7 by Michigan State last Saturday, Parseghian saw a threat from Northwestern quarterback, Mitch Anderson, the Big Ten’s passing champion the past two seasons. “Anderson has a hell of an arm, and in Northwestern’s pro

type attack we have to prove we can stop a team from scoring on big plays through the air,” Parseghian said. “We think we have a fairly solid football team, but if our injuries continue at the same rate, we may have trouble finishing the season.” The latest Notre Dame halfback casualties were Art Best and Al Samuel, hurt against Georgia Tech, following earlier losses of speed merchants Eric Penick and Al Hunter. “That means we’ll have to rely more on quarterback Tom Clements, fullback Wayne Bullock and split end Pete Demmerle,” said Parseghian. “But, I’d like to say that Bullock is one of the most under-rated fullbacks in the country.” Parseghian said sophomore fullback Jim Weiler would be moved to halfback, joining Ron Goodman and Russ Kornman as ball carriers. Northwestern Coach Johnny Pont told the Chicago writers he was “more embarrassed than disappointed” over the clobbering by Michigan State. “We felt we had a fairly physical team, but Michigan State came right out and stuck it to us,” said Pont. “I think Michigan State definitely will be a threat to Ohio State and Michigan in the Big Ten race.” Against Notre Dame, Northwestern still will be missing injured veteran running back Greg Boykin along with ailing

safety Pete Shaw. “We’ll be facing in Notre Dame a super quarterback (Clements); a super wide receiver (Demmerle); a great fullback (Bullock), and an intimidating defensive line,” said Pont. Coach Bo Schembechler, whose powerful Michigan team whipped Iowa 24-7 last Saturday, reported that star quarterback Dennis Franklin would be ready to 'play against invading Colorado. Franklin, suffering from a serious virus attack, missed playing against an Iowa club Schembechler said was “better than last season and didn’t give us an awful lot.” Although Colorado lost last Saturday to Louisiana State 4114, Schembechler said “well have to play good football to win.” Wisconsin coach John Jarnline, whose Badgers defeated Purdue 28-14 in a Big Ten opener, told the writers star running

back Bill Marek would be i:. shape to face fourth-ranked Nebraska Saturday at Madison, Wis. Marek missed the Purdue game because of a back injur\ and Jardine said “he’ll be a big bonus for us against Nebraska.” Nebraska was hard-pressed defeating Wisconsin 20-16 last season, but Jardine said the Cornhuskers are better now, with a more diversified attack and a “very awesome defense.” “But we’re better, too,” said Jardine. “Maybe well be mwe confident in ourselves and weli probably throw the football a little more.” Other Big Ten games Satur day include Illinois at Stanford; Arizona at Indiana; UCLA at Iowa; Syracuse at Michigan State; North Dakota at Minnesota; Oregon State at Ohio State, and Miami (Ohio) at Purdue.
