Halt Crusaders, 21-7

Late first half explosion brings 6th Tiger win

D*Pauw exploded for Jl points in just under sever minutes and it proved to be just about all the Tipers needed to snacfc down Valparaiso, 11-7, on the Crusaders' field Saturday

The victory shoved DePauw's season mark to $-3 and set up a possible recordtying showdown here this Saturday with once-beaten Hope College. A DePauw victory would tie the 1974 Tiger

squad with six others in Old Gold history that have won seven games in a season. A victory at Wabash Nov. 16 would make Coach Tom Mont's current squad the winningest in DPU history at 6-1.

MONDAY. NOWMira 4. IfH

DePauw put three men in the scoring column in administering Valparaiso its sixth consecutive loss including four in the IOC. For awhile, however, it appeared the two squads were going to be content with a (Ml draw. That changed quickly when the Tigers' crxaptain John Paul Kellv recovered 1 a Valpo fumble at the DPU 10 with 9:H left in the first half Tiger QB Sam Juarascio whipped a 49-yard pass right up the middle of the field to sophomore Mark Moon of Braxil. He caught the ball at the 50 and was finally hauled downed at the VU 41. Six plays later the Tigers were on the

board when Bart Simpson plowed in from the three with 6:42 left in the half. Jim Patarini kicked the extra point for a 7-0 lead. Valparaiso turned the ball back to the Tigera on the next series on a punt and the Tigers took over at the enemy 46. Jim Bor ling, who was injured on the play, gained three, Simpson added 12, and freshman Gerard Richardson galloped the final 33 round the left side. Patarini made It 14-0 with 3:32 to go. Borling. taken to the hospital for X-rays, was discovered to have a severe ankle sprain. His availability against Hope is unknown at this time. DePauw's defense stymied

Valparaiso again next time around. This time the Tigers took over on the VU 41 after a 22-yard punt return by Jim Buelow. Juarascio had his team on the board again six plays later, running 34 yards himself in three plays including the payoff dash of eight yards into the endzone. Just 66 seconds remained in the half when Patarini made it 21-0. The eventual winners appeared on the way to a new onegame total offense mark at halftime. With 190 yards on the ground and 49 in the air, the Tigers had 239 and needed only 183 yards in the final 30 minutes to top that record. But that wasn't to happen.

The Tiger scoring machine churned up only 119 yards in the final half and never crossed the mktathpe until reserve quarterback Randy Wells threw for a 17-yard completion to John Holden five plays before the game ended. Holden was finally dbwned at the VU 32. Reserve back Kim Suchy bolted to the five three plays later, but illegal motion foiled that and the game ended on a Wells aerial that was narrowly incomplete. Valpo got its lone TD of the game late in the third period. It came on a halfback pass play from Daven Newman and went 65-yards to Mike Meyer who worked himself behind Tiger

defender Tom McShane. Meyer hauled in the pass at the Tiger 40 and outraced the defenders into the endzone. Jim Russler kicked for a 21-7 score with 2:28 left in the third period. Valpo penetrated to the DePauw 36 and 41 after that. The first drive ended on a punt and Kreg Kephart stalled the next one when he intercepted Charles Ortmann’s pass. Juarascio, Richardson and Simpson all had fine rushing games. Juarascio carried 18 times for 95, Richardson had 10 for 91, and Simpson carried 19 for 75. The Tigers rolled up 292 net yards rushing to Valpo’s 54. D • 21 • 9-21 V • • 7 6-7

of the Indiana Collegiate Conference title and the Panthers the same in the Hoosier-Buck-eye Conference. Billy Lynch threw for three touchdowns, two of them to fullback Mark Morelli, as Butler ran its ICC record to 54) with its only remaining conference game against St. Joseph s next week.

Tiger Cub harriers rebuild

Working with only two returning lettermen from I973's second place county and fourth place WIC team this fall's Greencastle cross country crew experienced what has to be considered a rebuilding year They began the fall as if just the opposite would be the case when they won their first two dual meets from Mooresville and Monrovia However their story of success abruptly stopped there, as they were not to win another meet the rest of the campaign Their fortunes sank their lowest when they finished fourth in this year's Putnam County meet after having come within one point of winning the affair last year, bringing in the number one and three runners in Jay Franklin and Gary Lem mink. Neither Franklin or lenunink were on hand for this year's county running, having been lost to graduation The highest finisher the Cubs were able to bring in was senior Connie Hunter, who placed 12th The two retumii^ lettermen. Dan and Eric Losin, finished 17th and 3?nd respectively, having these places to look forward to irtviwin* «i next year, as both will once again return. As will the entire nib team with the exception of Hunter, who came back from a pre-season injury to take over the number one spot on the team in late September and then lead them into the schedule-ending multi-team affairs Besides their faring in the county race the Cubs placed 6th in the WIC meet and 17th of 19 in the sectional at Terre Haute. The Cubs ebbing in light of their 1973 performance did not surprise fFst year coach Jim Crist, who didn't expect a lot, I knew we didn't have the experience ‘' What he did have, however, improved steadily as the season progressed, particularly in the persons of Mike Delp and Robin Marrero While the progress of this pair was steady that of Dave Braden was fast, and covered just as much ground, bringing Braden from a late season start to the top three runners at the conclusion of the schedule. His absence in the county meet, slthough probably not affecting the team placings was a factor in the distance separating the Cubs from third place North Putnam Along with these harriers John Stevens. Mark Cox and Bob Thomas will return to the cross country course next fall,

prompting Crist to say "I'm looking forward to being quite a bit mote competitive next year.’' In addition to being more competitive Crist will also be looking to be more organizational, as thoughts of beginning a cross country program in the lower grade levels has crossed his mind. Crist said that he was quite impressed with the success of such organizing by Jerry Olson at North Putnam. "I think what they're doing up there is great." The Cub coach indicated that he is planning to begin work with Jim Stevens on the junior high level in Greencastle next year, a target Olson will also be aiming for in Cougar Country. With this emphasis on the future by both the Tiger Cubs and Cougars, the inter-county success of Cloverdale and South Putnam could well be in jeopardy, if It were not for the fact that both Clover coach A1 Tucker and Eagle mentor Dan Puckett will have their harriers out and running through Ihe now distant summer to preserve the chances of that success. However it would still be a good bet that in the upcoming seasons that domination will be more severely threatened than it was this fall. Speaking of domination, such a term would be an appropriate description of the county cross country squads' success against out-of-county trams this fall, as in dual and triangular meets the local harriers ran to a cumulative record of 34-13 against opponents from across the Putnam County borders, a success ratio of over 72 percent. In addition the three county schools in the WCC meet made a clean sweep of things with a 1-2-3 finish. Now this talk of success is not without its limitations, as even the powerful Clovers were able to achieve no better than an 8th place in sectional meet, while the other three county schools placed in the bottom half of the teams running. But rather than stopping the success of cross country running here in Putnam County this should serve as a goal to be worked for, to break into the group of front runners in the sectional. This has always been a goal at sorts, but this year the work and resulting success of the county harriers has brought it into reasonable, if yet haty focus for the first time. On the basis of this improvement next year's cross country story promises to bring it even closer for those who keep their sights fixed on it.

over Illinois was the 200th in Woody Hayes' brilliant coaching career; Archie Griffin got his national record of 18 straight games with 100 or more yards rushing and the Buckeyes set a team total yards record of 644. Griffin gained 144 yards in 20 carries and went over the 100yard mark in style with a 22yard touchdown run. He also flashed 16 yards for an earlier sc we. "I couldn't have done anything without my line,” said Griffin. “I want a picture of the whole offensive unit so I can hang it in my bedroom." While Griffin set his record, the other half of Ohio State’s GMen, Cornelius Greene also was busy. Greene gained 127 yards rushing and another 127 yards on passes. Illinois Coach Bob Blackman said, "I don’t think I’ve ever seen a college football team that has mwe offensive weapons than Ohio State." "I'm not going to disagree," said the jubilant Hayes. Michigan, the nation's No. 3 team, had its troubles with quarterback Dennis Franklin playing injured. The Wolverines didn’t clinch the victory until Gil Chapman scored a touchdown with 36 seconds to play. Coach Bo Schembechler started Mark Elzinga at quarterback but soon had to call on Franklin. “I started Elzinga because Franklin has been hurt," said Bo. “I knew Franklin couldn’t play the whole game and we had planned to play Elzinga in the first quarter. "You and I know that isn't Franklin. Let’s face it—he's playing on one leg." Indiana Coach Lee Corso was beaming in defeat. "I don’t think I can get them to play much better than they did today. We’re getting much better." Tailback Gordon Bell led the Michigan attack as he sewed two touchdowns and gained 159 yards rushing. Quarterback Charley Baggett, whom some rate as good as Greene and Franklin, led the Michigan State victory. Baggett scored two touchdowns and constantly kept Spartan scoring drives alive. Baggett, who says "I believe that I am the best quarterback in the Big Ten," is looking ahead to playing Ohio State. "Franklin, Greene and I are similar," said Baggett. "I just think I can do as many things as they can ... as well and a little better. After all, if youYe not confident in yourself, who else can be?" Mike Pruitt led Purdue's victory over Iowa. Pruitt sewed two touchdowns including one fw 94 yards and gained 179 yards in only 10 carries.

His 94-yard romp was the longest run from scrimmage in Purdue histwy. "Pruitt put on a show that was unbelievable," said Coach Alex Ag&se. "To have him score when we were backed up on our six-yard line was a real boost." Iowa Coach Bob Commings said, “It was obvious one team came to play and the other didn’t." Nwthwestern did a little switching in its victory over Minnesota. The Wildcats, mwe noted fw their passing attack geared to the arm of Mitch Anderson, ran to victory. Jim Trimble rushed fw 151 yards and Jim Pooler gained 106 and sewed two touchdowns. "We just planned to go basic," said Nwthwestern Coach' John Pont. "We wanted to run and we knew we could. Minnesota was very conscious of Mitch and we felt this was a definite advantage.” Minnesota Coach Cal Stoll called it "a very frustrating day. We weren’t sharp enough on offense and couldn't handle them on defense. And that’s a bad combination."

fense stopped the Ravens with minus-11 yards rushing, 86 yards passing and intercepted six of 26 passes. It was an even mwe sweet victory fw the fifth-ranked NAIA team, since it was Anderson that ended the previous 14-game winning string in 1957. And, while everyone is watching Ohio State’s Archie Griffin, Hoosiers are keeping a close eye on little Vincent Allen of Indiana State. The Sycamwes lost a tough 22-21 decision to Akron Saturday when a 32-yard field goal attempt went wide with 20 seconds remaining. But the 5-foot-9, 175-pound sophomwe tailback chalked up his 13th straight game gaining mwe than 100 yards rushing. The Richmond, Ind., product, who already holds the ISU career rushing reewd, carried 23 times fw 143 yards, giving him single season school records of 1,086 yards and 202 carries. In other ICC games, DePauw scored three times within six minutes of the third quarter, beating Valparaiso 21-7, while Indiana Central cruised past St. Joseph's 28-12 as halfback

Dave Nalley set a Greyhound reewd. Nalley ran fw 142 yards in 22 attempts, pushing his season total to 903 in eight games and breaking George Falifield’s 1957 mark of 888 yards in nine games. In another HBC contest, Manchester tipped Earlham 27-14 in a battle o previously winless teams. Greg helman returned a kickoff 90 yards for one Manchester score and Rich Richey added another on a 75yard run. Ball State’s Rich Scott completed 11 of 12 passes fw 223 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score as the Cardinals walloped Middle Tennessee State 43-14. Dave Blake added 128 yards and two touchdowns in 29 carries for Ball State. In other games involving Hoosier teams, Wabash won its fourth straight game, tipping Centre, Ky., 20-14; Rose-Hul-man won the College Athletic Conference title with a 49-0 blanking of Principia, 111., and Franklin lost a 40-6 decision to visiting Capital, Ohio, University.
