Stanley: ‘successful season’ South Putnam football program gets off ground

“I fed we had a successful season. We acccraptished what we set out to do, the kids learned a lot of football, and with 21 coming back next year they ought to have a good year.” With these words South Putnam head football coach Larry Stanley capsuled the 1974 Eagle football season in brief and afforded a look at the 1975 season, although he will not be around to direct it. Having announced his resignation from the coaching and teaching ranks effective Jan. 10at the fall sports awards program Wednesday night, Stanley will be farming in his home town of Cambridge City when the majority of his this year’s troops return to the gridiron next August. The Eagles will lose only four players to graduation, but their loss will be felt keenly. Heading this quartet are comost valuable players Wayne Erwin and Mark Holderfield. a pair of sure-handed ends who split the Eagle kicking chores between them. Holderfield led South Putnam in receptions this fall from his split end position with 32 for 491 yards, while Erwin caught 25 at tight end for 902 yards Erwin handled the punting

chores extremely well, averaging 37.3 yards on 46 boots, while Holderfield kicked six for six extra points and a pair of field goals. For both of them this was their first year of varsity football. ‘They both have a lot of general ability and real good hands," said Stanley of the duo. "And they came along during the season." Mark Scott’s tackle position will be noticeably vacant next fall, as Scott is the third Eagle senior on this year's team. "They 11 have some trouble filling that." predicted Stanley. Backup quarterback Brian Colwell rounds out die quartet that will graduate in the spring. The strength of the returning Eagles will be in the backfiekl, where junior Brad Booe completed 79 of 176 passes this year and freshman Tim Thomas ran for 395 yards in 113 carries. Junior Darrell Mendenhall was close behind in the yards per carry division with 162 yards in 49 carries, while sophomores Camden Davis and Bryce Smith also saw ball carrying duty . Returning in the line will be freshman center Bill Heeke, who in his first year at the position did an admirable job of

snapping for punts, extra points and field goals. Along with Heeke will be guards Fred Crawley .Scott Coffin and Paul Bray, center Larry Griswold and tackle John Schilling. “I think John could be a real good prospect if he works out on the weights this summer," said Stanley of the 260 lb. junior who also played linebacker at the end of the season. Moving to the defense junior noseman Jack Sutton will return along with juniors Tim Smith and Joe Burnham, an end who went both ways. “Joe’s a real good receiver,” said Stanley. “He's got fine hands and is a good blocker." Junior Randy Hubbard will return to challenge for the other offensive end position left vacant by Erwin’s and Holderfield’s departures. Mendenhall will return to anchor the defensive secondary with the fastest Eagle on the squad, sophomore David Buis.

With all these kids coming back, didn’t Stanley have any second thoughts about leaving South Putnam? “When I came here I had a job to do and I feel like I did it. We got things off the ground and going and I look for them to have a real good year next year.” The extent Stanley got the program going can be seen not only in the Eagles racking up their first two wins ever this year on their way to a 2-8 season, but in aspects such as equipment, team spirit and awards for the players. When Stanley came to South Putnam two years ago there was little if any of the above around. What there was was in paltry shape. But this year the Eagles sported new uniforms with white shoes and numbers on their helmets, team spirit that had everyone out and ready to go at the start of almost every practice, and an awards program in which the strong

feeling running in their midst could be felt by even the most hardened observer. In addition to Stanley and the “fine bunch of kids” credit goes to South Putnam principal James Hammond and the entire administrative network of the school system. Stanley called back after the initial interview for this story to be sure to include thanks to Hammond “who was out there on weekends and after school with hammer and nails helping us to get the program off the ground." Stanley also had words of thanks for his coaching staff, Gary Martin and Wayne Schuetter. Martin, mainly a basketball player and coach, "didn’t know much about football when I got here”, recalls Stanley, “but he picked up a lot and came a long way. • “He handled the offensive line and did all the taping for practices and games. With him taping and Wayne taking the

conditioning, it left me frte to handle the equipment before practices and we could get going sooner.” Besides handling the conditioning for practices Shuetter took care of the offensive and defensive backfields. “He’s got a real good football head,” said Stanley of his assistant who came to South Putnam from Linton this year. “He helped out tremendously." After announcing his, resignation Stanley asked

Schuetter if he was interested in the vacated post but the assistant made no reply. Nonetheless Stanley suggested that Schuetter get his application in early. Meanwhile Stanley will be down in Cambridge City, even though he knows there are many players disappointed with his leaving. “I know there were a lot of dropped chins. A lot of them don’t understand why I’m leaving. You know in this

athletics there’s ups and downs every day, every week. Just like in later life. TTiere’s Friday nights and Friday nights. After you get beat bad there’s always the rise back the next Monday. I look for the kids to come back like champions and have a real good year next year.” With the work he left behind him, there is no reason why the Eagles should not keep on improving when next season rolls around.

ATLANTA (AP) — “This was real playoff hockey,” said an elated Coach Boom Boom Geoffrion after his Atlanta Flames blanked the Chicago Black Hawks 2-0 in the only National Hockey League game played Friday night. “Any time you beat the Black Hawks, that’s a real victory,” said Geoffricxi. His Flames extended their unbeaten streak at home to 11 straight games, eight this season with a 7-0-1 mark. Goalie Phil Myre stopped 34 Chicago shots in

recording his initial shutout of the season. Ironically, in Myre’s last start against against St. Louis Saturday night, the Blues routed the Flames 9-0. “The St. Louis game wasn’t even on my mind,” said Myre, who shares the goal tending duties with Dan Bouchard. “I just went out there wanting to win. I don’t think about the past.” In the World Hockey Association, it was New England 3, San Diego 0 and Cleveland 2,

LOUISVILLE. Ky. (AP) - Basking in his hometown reception, world heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali boasts that he wants to take on Joe Frazier and George Foreman one after the other. “I want both them dudes the same night.” the champion told a reception, showing off the style that earned him the title "■Die Louisville Lip” when he boxed as Cassius Clay. Ali made a triumphant return Friday to Louisville, where he grew up, and is to be honored tonight with a ceremony marking the first donation to a boxing school named in his honor at a downtown YMCA branch. After joking about the Fra-zier-Foreman doubleheader, he admitted that he’d rather have a few “easy fights” before he faces either Foreman or Frazier again. Crowds of Louisville residents turned out to greet Ali, with many telling him, “You’re the greatest” as he visited his old neighborhood and the high school he attended. Ali told the crowds he felt the same way about them. “I’ve been received by presi-

dents, by mayors, all over the world,” he said. “But this is my greatest honor.” The champion told Central High School students he didn’t have to bring his lunch when he was attending the school. Instead, Ali said, “I’d grab a fellow and say, ‘Look, chump, tomorrow you’re bringing me a hamburger.’” “I was one bad brother in those days.” he said. Ali urged the students to study seriously and to follow the teachings of Elijah Muhammad. On his future fights, Ali said he had been contacted by the governments of Iran, Pakistan, Indonesia and Morocco about fighting there. The champion would not confirm a report that he plans to fight Henry Clark, a Californian who was a sparring partner for him as he prepared for the Foreman fight. Ali plans to return to Centennial Baptist Church in Louisville for services Sunday before leaving Kentucky. He noted that his faith is now Muslim, but he added “I’m one who never forgets where he’s from.”

Vancouver 1. The Flames got the only goal they needed when leading goalscorer Curt Bennett slammed in his eighth of the season, beating Chicago goalie Tony Esposito after 4:37 of the opening period. Tom Lysiak closed out the scoring with only 28 seconds remaining in the game when he drove his sixth goal of the year into an empty net after Chicago lifted Esposito in favor of a sixth skater. Veteran goalie A1 Smith kicked out 30 shots to lead New England past San Diego as Rick Ley, Terry Caffery and John French each scored a goal for the Whalers. Grant Erickson scored his first goal of the WHA season at 16:35 of the third period to lift the Crusaders past the Blazers. Defenseman Paul Shmyr had given Cleveland a 1-0 lead midway through the first period with a high wrist shot that beat Wayne Wood in the Vancouver nets. Danny Lawson tied it for the Blazers early in the middle period when Crusaders goalie Gerry Cheevers lost his stick during a scramble in front of his net. GHS schedule

Kim Duk Chok

Kim Duk, Korean karate champion, glares defiently at referee Bob Winko while choking Chief Bobby Bold Eagle. Both Duk and Eagle will be in Greencastle Wednesday, November 13, for the big pro wrestling card at the

downtown Jr. High gym. Four big matches are booked on the card which gets underway at 8:00 p.m. The matches are sponsored by the Greencastle Kiwanis Club. Tickets are available at several downtown locations.

Rambling and rummaging Kim Jones starting in center at Valdosta State

We received word Friday morning from the mother of 1974 Greencastle High School graduate Kim Jones that Kim had a real successful fall on the baseball diamond down at Valdosta State College in Georgia. The all-WIC first team centerfielder in his senior year at Greencastle hit .391 while driving in 11 runs in the fall session that went from September 20to late October, under the direction of coach Tommy Thomas. On the basis of this performance Kim was named to the varsity squad of the team that finished 5th in the NCAA Division II World Series last year, and was rated number two in the final poll. As Valdosta lost two starting outfielders last year (they were signed by the pros) Kim will in all probability be starting in center when the boys break out the bats and balls again in January. A quick rundown of Kim’s stats his senior year at Greencastle reveal that he hit .404, scored 19 runs, stole 23 bases in 26 attempts and fielded a fine .933. sound credentials for Val Dosta investing a scholar^ip in him. And of course everyone familiar with Greencastle football remembers Kim’s exploits on the gridiron last fall, which earned

him first team Wabash Valley and WIC offensive halfback honors. Looks like he’s picking up right where he left off with his athltic accomplishments, much to the delight and pride of his home town. ■kirk Also on the phone with us Friday morning was South Putnam swimming coach Steve Holsapple, who is busy these days trying to get his Winter Swimming Program underway. Registration is proceeding satisfactorily in two of the three programs offered, the elementary and age group team, but registration for the third, the adult segment, has been “limited”, according to Holsapple. The program, which offers beginning and advanced lessons in addition ot open swimming, is scheduled to meet on Wednesday nihts, with a change to Monday coming if high school athletic events dictate it. As perhaps was not understood the program is open to all adults, not just those within the South Putnam school district. Anyone interested in enrolling should contact Holsapple at the school before Wednesday (Nov. 13). If the classes are to be offered a minimum of ten enrollees is required.
