Trojans pick up more support
By The Associated Press Southern California’s Trojans are on the march and more and more followers seem to be joining the bandwagon. Top-ranked Southern California widened its lead over Alabama in The Associated Press college football poll Monday, collecting 1,227 points of a possible 1,240. The Trojans, who last week led in first-place votes by 45-14 and in points by 1,2221,172, were tabbed No.l on 49 of the ballots submitted by the poll’s committee of 62 sports writers and broadcasters. "It’s nice to be there (No.l),” Southern Cal Coach John Robinson said Monday. "But we’re just trying to keep improving, keep concentrating on little things and the big things will take care of themselves.” That was certainly the case last Saturday as the Trojans crushed Oregon State, 42-5. But Robinson knows being No.l means being a big target for any foe. "We’re trying to get better, so we’ll be ready when we get to

Rosengarten is repeat; Merchant tops defense
By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor Cloverdale’s Eddie Rosengarten becomes the first to repeat as offensive player of the week and teammate Brian Merchants earned defensive player of the week honors. Rosengarten was player of the week after he led Cloverdale to a 27-2 romp over DuggerUnion. He gained 311 yards rushing and scored three touchdowns in the victory. So far for an encore the senior tailback rushed for 209 yards and scored two touchdowns Friday night in Cloverdale’s second victory of the season over South Putnam 24-6. In addition to his rushing yardage, Rosengarten also caught five passes for 31 yards, giving him a total offensive figure of 240 yards this season. After four football games the son of Mr. and
Kelly, Malone feud aid Redskin win
WASHINGTON (AP) - It’s a fair bet that New York’s Brian Kelley and Washington Benny Malone aren’t high on each other’s party list. In fact, if you’re interested in fireworks, it might not be a bad idea to be in Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. on Nov. 25, when the Giants and Redskins renew their rivalry. In their first meeting Monday night, the Redskins gained at least a touchdown from the confrontation between Kelley and Malone en route to a 27-0 thrashing of the Giants in an NFC East game. According to the participants, it all started early in the game. However, the culmination came when Kelley was penalized for kicking the Redskins’ running back in the head after a third down play which would have forced Washington to punt. Instead, Kelley’s outburst gave the Redskins new life in a drive which ended with Clarence Harmon’s reception of a 4yard touchdown toss from Joe Thiesmann. “It’s personal between me and him,” said Kelley, who also was charged earlier for running into the punter another infraction which kept a Washington drive alive. “He knows what he did. It’s personal

Mrs. Ervin Rosengarten of Route 2, Poland has 648 yards rushing for an average of 162 yards per game. Brian Merchant anchored the Cloverdale defense against the Eagles. The senior finished with five solo tackles, four behind the line of scrimmage and assisted in five other tackles. “It was by far his best game of the year,” said coach Mike Stallcop of his lineman. “He also did a good job on offense.” Merchant is a member of the Cloverdale High School letterman’s club and a wrestler as well as football player. As a junior he reached the championship match of the Greencastle wrestling sectional in the 185 pound class. Brian is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Merchant of Route 2, Spencer.
and it started on the second play of the game. He said some things that you don’t want to hear.” Malone said, however, that the mostly-hidden scuffle started with the Giants’ Gary Jeter early in the game “and I was trying to protect myself. I’ll never back down. “It’s going to stay personal. It started the first time I carried the ball,” he said. In between the eight penalties for 72 yards that the Giants were assessed, the Redskins dominated play, including a 31yard pass interception by defensive tackle Karl Lorch which he turned into a touchdown. “That’s the only pass that I’ve caught in at least 10 years,” he said. “The last one was in junior college.” Theismann also and ran 7 yards for another score on what he said was a designed draw but appeared to be a scramble.

The Battling Bishops broke a scoreless tie with two goals late in the first half and DePauw never recovered. Nelson and Bill Shinn were the Depauw goal scorers. John Rickel started both games in the Tiger goal but Ted Crowe picked up the win in goal against Kenyon after playing the second half and two tenminute overtimes.

Mark Moseley added field goals of 46 and 40 yards. New York Coach Ray Perkins said merely, “We made too many mistakes and didn’t play smart football on defense. We got burned early (on Lorch’s interception), and we kept two of their drives alive.” However, he added, “We played 60 minutes of football, and I’m proud of that, even though we lost.” Thiesmann wore a bandage around his head, where he had taken 15 stitches affter being smacked in the first half, said: “The key to our offense is the line. They put the 27 points on the board.” He added quickly, however, that the defense got one of the touchdowns. “The penalties helped our drives,” he continued, “but they (the Giants) keep coming at you.”
