By MIKE HARRIS AP Sports Writer Kevin Weatherby had just scored the final touchdown in his team’s 19-12 Class AAA Indiana high school football playoff title game Friday night. As his Indianapolis Washington teammates mobbed him, jumping and shouting for joy, one adult spectator sitting on the winning side smiled contentedly and said, “That’s Superteam ‘74 out there.’’ Bill Doha, the young but veteran coach of the losing Mishawaka Cavemen said it another way: “They’re well coached and well disciplined, but we helped them beat us.” It wasn’t sour grapes. The battle of the big schools in Hoosier prep football was an evenly matched affair that wasn’t decided until Weatherby crossed the goal line with 16 seconds remaining on the North Central High School Field scoreboard. That touchdown capped a methodical 83-yard drive that began just three plays into the final period and shaved nearly 10 minutes off the clock as the Continentals protected a 13-12 lead. And, while Washington was wrapping up its 18th straight victory and ending Mishawaka’s 10-game string before a standing room crowd of more than 11,000 and televisi^i audiences in the capital city and in the South Bend-Mishawaka area, two other championship games were played. Eighth-ranked Blackford closed out a perfect 12-0 season with a 28-14 thumping of Boonville for the AA title it lost in last year’s finale. Garrett’s 16th-ranked Railroaders finished at 11-0 by stopping North Knox 20-6 for the A division title. But, as good as those other two games were, it was the Washington-Mishawaka game that captured the fancy of most of the state’s football fans. The story of the game was actually the domination of the Continental rushing game. Weatherby, the Indianapolis

scoring champion, halfback Ricky Smith and fullback Earl Branson punished the Caveman defense for 239 yards on the ground. And, to show their versatility, quarterback Danny Butler added 107 yards on four of five passes, including a 33yard strike to Armond White that gave the Continentals a 7-0 lead in the second period. Two first half fumbles, both in Washington territory, kept Mishawaka away from paydirt, but a blocked punt by linebacker-halfback Chuck Alexander set up the first Caveman touchdown with just 10 seconds left in the half. Quarterback Dale Moore passed 10 yards to split end Mike DeGeeter on the first play and it was 7-6 at the half. A Moore-to-DeGreeter pass good for 56 yards and the running of Alexander gave Mishawaka a 12-7 lead with 3:34 left in the third period, with Alexander going the final two yards. But the Continentals roared right back, 70 yards in five plays for the go-ahead score. Butler hit Darrell Sides with a 48-yard pass on the drive and Smith went the final 12 yards. Washington’s defense bent but didn’t break as it gave up 115 yards rushing, 94 by Alexander, and 94 yards in the air as Moore completed five of seven passes. Weatherby wound up with 120 yards. Branson with 74 and Smith 52 for the Continentals, who fonished the season 12-0. Mishawaka, which hadn’t lost since its opening game against Penn, ended the season at 10-2. “Both teams were great,” said Washington Coach Bob Springer. “Both hit hard and were alert, but we have been a great scond half team.” Both the Blackford and Garrett victories reflected the work of a super back. Blackford’s Bud Brown, a senior, pounded for 135 yards and three touchdowns, in-

cluding two in the fourth period after Boonville recovered from a 14-0 deficit to tie the game in the third period. Brown scored on runs of 4, 44 and 4 yards, while fullback Chris Baker scored the other touchdown on a 15-yard scamper. Both Pioneer touchdowns came on runs by fullback Jeff Stevens, who totaled 105 yards

in 19 carries.

Garrett’s 6-foot-3, 205-pound junior halfback Paul Yarian blasted for 208 yards and three touchdowns in 27 carries, 157 of that in the first half as the

Railroaders built a 20-0 lead. Curt Kixmiller finally got North Knox on the scoreboard in the second 2half, but a combination of three first half fumbles and two second half interceptions kept the Warriors from threatening most of the way. Yarian’s scores came on runs of 8, 32 and 4 yards, while Kixmiller, who rushed for 46 yards in 17 carries and caught three passes for 63 yards, ran in the only North Knox score from the six. Boonville closed its season at

10-2, while North Knox finished

at 9-3.

For Blackford’s Bruins, the victory was a sweet followup to last year’s runnerup finish to Greenfield Central. Those three games closed out the second annual 12-tam state grid playoffs, but Phil Eskew, commissioner of the Indiana High School Athletic Association, has indicated in recent weeks that the IHSAA Board of Control may take steps before next season to double the number of teams participating in the playoffs.

However, he added, “There were only two repeaters (Blackford and Greenfield) in the tournament field this year. That means 22 teams have participated in two years—and I like that.”

On Jo Jo’s final drive

Kings stop Celtics forcibly

By ALEX SACHARE AP Sports Writer Boston Coach Tommy Heinsohn cried foul because official Mark Schlafman wouldn’t. With his Celtics trailing 110109 and six seconds showing on the clock Friday night, Heinsohn watched Boston guard Jo Jo White drive three-quarters the length of the court against Scott Wedman of the Kansas City-Omaha Kings. White went up for what would be a game-winning layup, but the ball missed everything, hitting neither basket nor backboard. Heinsohn waited for a foul to be called on the play. No call. KC-Omaha wins. And that’s when Heinsohn cried foul. “When you drive to the hoop like that for the last shot and there’s no foul, I’m a monkey’s uncle,” Heinsohn said, visibly angry. Elsewhere in the National Basketball Association Friday night, the Washington Bullets beat the New Orleans Jazz 10495, the Detroit Pistons stopped the Seattle SuperSonics 117-103, the Chicago Bulls defeated the Phoenix Suns 102-95 and the Los Angeles Lakers topped the

Philadelphia 76ers 105-99. In the American Basketball Association, the Utah Stars whipped the New York Nets 109-98 and the Denver Rockets beat the Indiana Pacers 120-

114.

“Wedman not only had Jo Jo on the wrist, he had him on the whole thing, the whole body. It was Schlafman’s call and he didn’t want to call it,” Heinsohn fumed. The Kings took an early 15point lead in the game, then watched the Celtics come back for a 109-106 lead with 2:39 to play. But that was all Boston could manage, and it was not enough as Jimmy Walker hit a basket with 2:24 to play and Larry McNeill sank two free throws at 1:37 to put the Kings on top. Nate Archibald scored 29 Racers fall in WHA

points and backcourtmate Walker hit for 23. Boston’s John Havlicek led all scorers with

30.

Elvin Hayes erupted for 34 points to pace Washington past the expansion Jazz, but the big excitement there came with three minutes left in the third quarter, when New Orleans’ guard Pete Maravich was ejected from the game for protesting an official’s call too vehemently. Bob Rakel, the official, nailed Maravich for one technical for the protest and another when the confrontation became a nose-to-nose shouting match. The Pistons held Seattle to 33 points in the first half, rolled up a 99-63 lead after three periods and coasted to victory. John Mengelt had 20 points and five other Detroit players scored in

double figures. Chet Walker scored 27 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to power the Bulls past Phoenix. Lucius Allen, obtained from Milwaukee last week, scored 24 points for Los Angeles and triggered the Lakers’ fast break. He also came up with eight steals. Ron Boone’s 32 points helped Utah beat the Nets, who were playing their third road game in three nighin the third period which was sparked by Billy Keller’s four three-point baskets. Keller scored 16 points in the third quarter and finished the night with 20. Kevin Joyce of the Pacers was the game’s high scorer with 24 points, while Denver’s Mike Green and Mack Calvin had 23 apiece and Bobby Jones added 21.

Ties highlight NHL action

Conigliaro considers comeback with Bosox

By The Associated Press Philadelphia did it early in the third period while Los Angeles came through in the final two minutes of its game. But both the Flyers and the Kings were only able to survive their National Hockey League

battles with ties.

Philadelphia battled evenly with the Atlanta Flames 2-2 while Los Angeles and the Vancouver Canucks also tied 2-2. In other NHL games Friday, Kansas City defeated the New York Islanders 4-2 and Toronto

topped California 5-3.

BOSTON (AP) — Tony Conigliaro is thinking of trying a comeback—with his original team, the Boston Red Sox. Out of baseball since 1971, Conigliaro, now 29, has been given permission to go to spring training with the Red Sox and try to

win a job as a designated hitter.

Tony C., one of baseball’s top sluggers, was nearly blinded when hit on the left cheek by a fast ball in August 1967. He battled his way back in 1969 and the following year was traded to the

California Angels. ioromu j-t, vYmiieiwrg «_i uaucu “There are two things we still have to see,” Red Sox general Indianapolis 5-0 and Cleveland manager Dick O’Connell said. “We want him to have another beat San Diego 5-3.

eye test. He’s also on the voluntarily retired list of California’s

Triple-A club and we would have to work something out. “If his eyes are okay, I see no problem. We have nothing tc

lose, and the kid has tremendous desire and guts. It’s a long road

back, but who knows? If anyone can do it, he can. ” “I really miss the game and want to give it one more try really

badly,” said Conigliaro, who lives in suburban Boston. “I don’t think this comeback will be as tough as the one after the eye injury. Then there was so much pressure with the element ol

fear.

“But this time I really believe I can do it. I’ve stayed in good shape with karate. Now I’ll begin a four-week program that is incredible. Then I’ll go down to Florida, hire some people tc throw batting practice to me, and be in shape when they’ll let me

start in Winter Haven.”

We played well enough to win,” Philadelphia Flyers’ Coach Fred Shero said. Atlanta

felt the same way.

Orest Kindrachuk scored early in the final period to pull the Flyers into their 2-2 deadlock and extend Philadelphia’s unbeaten string to 10 consecutive games. The Flames had jumped out to a 2-0 advantage on goals by Buster Harvey and Tim Ecclestone. Rick MacLeish scored the

Flyers’ first tally.

The Philadelphia-Atlanta

battle pitted the top two teams in the NHL’s Division 1. Los Angeles, the Division 3 leader, needed a goal from Frank St. Marseille with less than two minutes remaining in the contest to knot the score with Vancouver, No. 1 in Division 2. Vancouver could manage just one shot on goal in the second period, but held a 2-1 lead after Bobby Lalonde scored just eight seconds into the final period. That left it for St. Marseille’s heroics as the period was running out. Two goals in the final five minutes by Simon Nolet lifted the Kansas City Scouts to their victory over the Islanders. Nolet, who also had an assist on the Scouts’ second period goal, put Kansas City ahead when he beat goalie Glen Resch with 4:44 left in the game. His second goal came into an open net with six seconds to play. Three goals by Toronto’s Bill Flett, one in each period, powered the Maple Leafs to victory over the California Golden Seals. The win also boosted third-place Toronto three points ahead of California in the NHL's Division 4. California took a 3-1 lead in the opening period while To-

ronto had a man in the penalty box. But Flett’s second-period goal and Ron Ellis’s eighth goal of the year knotted the count. Flett’s game-winner came four minutes into the third period and Darryl Sittler added an insurance tally. Ernie Wakely, making only his second start of the season at goalie for Winnipeg, stopped all 39 Indianapolis shots, and power play goals by Larry Hornung and Anders Hedbert in the opening period started the Jets on their way to victory. Winnipeg broke the game open with goals within a three-min-ute span of the third period by Duke Asmundson, Ulf Nilsson and Veli Ketola. Ray McKay, Don Herriman and Ron Climie all scored within a span of 2:11 in the second period to spark Edmonton’s victory. It was the fifth straight win for the Oilers, who outshot the Toronto Toros 44-22 in the game. Richard Faria had two goals for the Toros. Ron Ward pulled Cleveland into a 3-3 tie with his first goal of the night, then scored the winning gcal for the Crusaders minutes later. Tom Edur tallied Cleveland’s insurance point in the third period.

The magic eye of television has made football a big-time business on the college cam-

puses of America.

Penn State University, for example, will earn more than $1.1 million this Season from four football games — two regionally telecast games

Fresh Load FLORIDA CITRUS Arriving Nov. 16 • Pink & White Grapefruit • Navel Oranges • Tangelos • Juice Oranges WOODCOCK & EDWARDS Service Station Spencer, Indiana

worth $180,-000 each, Thanksgiving night game against the University of Pittsburgh in Three Rivers Stadium that will pay $244,000 and a Jan. 1 Cotton Bowl date worth more than $500,000. The Thanksgiving night game against Pitt was originally scheduled on the following Saturday at Pitt Stadium. By switching sites and allowing television to tune in, both schools will clear more than $200,000 in profits, considerably more than they could have expected to earn at Pitt

Stadium.

The key word here is tele-

vision.

Pitt and Penn State will be providing perhaps three hours of prime-time entertainment and, at today’s rates, the halfmillion dollars or so that goes to the two schools is a reasonable price for filling that much network time. “We figure about $200,000 per hour to produce a regular filmed show,” said one television executive. “That would include rerun rights which are not applicable to football.”

Television, of course, will also be looking in on New Year’s Day when the college football season concludes with the major bowl games. And the teams participating in those extravaganzas will also be taking home healthy-sized paychecks. Just how much is in those checks depends mostly on whether the teams come from conferences or are in-

dependents.

Conference teams must share their bowl spoils with their sister schools. For example, the University of Texas earned $475,092.61 as its share of the Cotton Bowl last year. The school kept $100,000 and then divided the remainder among the eight Southwest Conference schools. That meant that each SWC school, Texas included, received about $45,600 for the Longhorns’ Bowl

appearance.

As the number of schools in a conference increases, the bowl take for the conference representative goes down. The Rose Bowl’s net revenue of about $2.5 million is divided evenly between the Pacific Eight and

Big Ten Conference representatives. Thus each Pac-8 team gets about $150,000 annually while the Big Ten, dividing the same income among more schools, realizes about $125,000 a team. Independent schools do better financially. The 1975 Orange Bowl, for example, matches Alabama and Notre Dame, The game is a sellout and each school will receive about $600,000. Notre Dame keeps all of its income while Alabama must divide it among other members of the Southeastern Conference. The same thing happened when the same schools met in last year’s Sugar Bowl. That paid $452,000 a team.

Dear Ahby

DEAR ABBY: My mother-in-law has a habit of barging into our bedroom (and even the bathroom, if it’s not locked) to “talk’’ to Jerry. (He’s my husband.) Yesterday she barged into our bedroom while Jerry was dressing, and he didn't have a stitch on. I said in a nice way, "Mother, you really should knock first and ask Jerry if he is presentable." Then she said, "Oh. don’t be silly. I used to diaper him!’’ What are your view on the subject? CHICAGO W IFh DEAR WIFE: Same as yours. But it's up to Jerry to tell his mother to knock first. (If she breast-fed him when he was a baby, would that give him the right to barge in on HER when she's topless?)

DEAR ABBY: 1 am a 26-year=old mother of a two-year-old daughter. My husband has-been urging me to have another child since our daughter was born, lie was very disappointed that she was not a male, and this hurt me. Although he loves the girl, he still feels that he is missing something by not having a son. He thinks I am selfish for not wanting another child, but here are my reasons. 1. All during my pregnancy (not only in the morning! I was in a constant state of nausea. 2. We live 400 miles away from our parents, and I have no one to help me with the chores of child rearing. 3. There is always the possibility that the second child would be another girl. My husband says he wouldn't keep trying for a boy but he'd like one more chance. 4.1 want to return to work when my child is of school age, and another child would postpone it to a later date. I am a good mother, Abby, and I’m very happy with one child. We have talked it out, and are both immovable. I know that I have the final say, but he makes me feel so guilty that at times I’m almost ready to give in, and yet 1 don’t know if it would be the best thing for me or the child What is the solution, if there is one? MRS. X, JR. DEAR MRS. X, JR.: Feeling as you do, don’t “give in.” If you had another child in order to accommodate your husband or to relieve your “guilt,” you would resent the child for the above reasons and children sense resentment. Have you considered adopting a boy your daughter's age? No nausea, no gambling on the sex, no time lost in returning to work. And you’d be giving a good home to a little boy who needs one. DEAR ABBY: I have just returned from a baby shower where the family dog was alkwed to wander around among the guests. The dog is very friendly and quite lovable, so nearly all the guests petted him, and the dog licked their hands. This included people who was preparing and serving the food, as well as those who had their fingers in the candies, handling baby presents, etc. I noticed that after playing with the dog nobody washed their hands before eating. We teach children to wash their hands before they eat Doesn’t that go for dog-lovers, too? DISGUSTED DEAR DISGUSTED: It should, but for some reason most dog-lovers do not feel contaminated after playing with a dog.

DEAR ABBY: I like the way you remind your readers to be a little'more patient with their elderly parents. My mother is an 88-year-old widow who doesn’t need any extra patience as yet, and I doubt if she ever will. She reads and writes in seven languages, and proof-reads the Hebrew lettering for marble tombstones. Mom owns a duplex. She lives downstairs, alone, and rents the upstairs to a 92-year-old retired sea capUin named Jack. Jack is bright, alert and sharp as a tack. The other day when my brother Dave was visiting our mother, in his cute and kidding way he said, “Ma. what s this I hear about you fooling around with Jack?" With a twinkle in her eye, Mom shot back, “Don’t worry, son, I’m on the pill!” SIDNEY R. IN BRANDON, VT DEAR SIDNEY: Thanks for sharing a cheerer-upper.

Everyone has a problem. What's yours? For a personal reply, write to ABBY: Box No. 69700, L.A., Calif. 90069. Enclose stamped, self-addressed envelope, please. Hate to write letters? Send SI to Abigail Van Buren. 132 Lasky Dr., Beverly Hills, Calif. 90212, for Abby’s booklet. “How to Write Letters for All Occasions."
