DePauw defeats Denison in Old Gold

Neither rain, nor wind, nor Big Red could stop balance of Lindlow and Perkins

By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor The DePauw University running attack is a mudder, it was proven Saturday in the 31-14 Old Gold Day football game victory over Denison at Blackstock Stadium. For the first time in, unofficially, two years, the Tigers gained more yardage on the ground than in the air and used the most balanced attack in two seasons to record their fifth win in six outings. DePauw gained 206 yards rushing and 194 yards passing and scored on a field goal, by pass and by rush in the 75th annual homecoming game. IN FACT, THE HARDER it rained in the second half, the better DePauw’s running game actually got. "We felt we could run," coach Nick Mourouzis said. "There were certain places we could run and control the ball and move it, which we did. We eventually found some weaknesses there and we capitalized." Kevin Perkins caught 10 passes for 156 yards and DePauw’s second quarter touchdown, but he had the rare compliment of Rick Lindlow’s running. The 6-1, 205 pound junior, who had only 15 halftime yards rushing, carried the ball for 100 second half yards and a DePauw touchdown in a 115 yard performance. "That’s the best he’s run this year,” coach Mourouzis complimented. "We have to get him out in the open there and the line did a great job blocking.” After Dave Finzer’s 37-yard first quarter field goal, Rob Doyle's one-yard dive to paydirt and Perkins’ three-yard reception of a Doyle pass put the Tigers up 17-14 at halftime, Lindlow stretched the DePauw lead to 10 points with a 37-yard touchdown run with 7:12 remaining in the second period. DePAUW’S DEFENSE WENT into the game facing the single-wing offense for the first time and drew praise from both coach Mourouzis and defensive coordinator Ed Meyer. “The defense did an outstanding job,” Mourouzis said. “You don’t face it (single-wing) that much and it’s a big change for you to practice against it that one week. Of course, that’s why they (Denison) use it.” Coach Meyer felt the second half rain became DePauw’s ally. “If I were a center in the single-wing and a tailback, a spinning fullback in a single-wing, a wet football and the conditions we played under would at least make me be more cautious than I normally would be,” Meyer said. “And I think anytime we get longer to get the outside and chase that thing (the ball) down, it’s certainly to our advantage.” DePauw led by only three points at the halftime queen crowning only because of two first half fumbles. Finzer, who en-

DePauw dominates en route to 3rd straight crown The DePauw women’s tennis team won its third state title in a row as the Lady Tigers took six of the nine championships decided in the state tournament which ended Saturday at Anderson. Sophomore Sandy Gyorgyi won the first singles title; sister Nancy, a senior, won the second singles crown; sophomore Ann Schueler won the third singles title and junior Magge Wilder the fifth singles title. The Gyorgyis combined to take the first, doubles championship, and Wilder teamed with senior Lynn Williams to win the third doubles crown. “DePauw was playing in the finals of everything,” coach Pat Gammon said. “The ones we didn’t win, we were run-ners-up to St. Mary’s. We worked really hard for this one. It was a good tournament.” The state championship gives DePauw a berth in the AIAW regional tournament to be held next spring. DPU will be the only Division 111 team from Indiana in the tournament, and, according to Gammon, “probably the only team to have a spring season.”

Vikings leave no unbeaten in NFL

By GARY MYERS AP Sports Writer Good things...and bad things...eventually come to an end. And in the seventh week of the National Football League season, last year’s Super Bowl teams stopped streaking. For the Philadelphia Eagles, week N 0.7 meant their first loss, a 35-23 decision to the Minnesota Vikings, a team on a streak of its own with five straight victories. For the Oakland Raiders, the defending NFL champions, week N 0.7 was a happier time. Not only did the Raiders end a three-week scoreless streak, they escaped with a hairy and much-needed 18-16 victory against Tampa Bay. The “Pride and Poise” gang from Oakland had endured the embarrassment of becoming the first team in over 30 years to get shut out three weeks in a row. At the New York YankeesOakland A’s baseball game Thursday night, a fan held up a banner, “Where's Jim Plunkett? We need a shutout.” Plunkett, the most valuable player in January’s Super Bowl, was benched Sunday in favor of Marc Wilson, who did not distinguish himself, but nonetheless helped get the Raiders get on the board. Early on, Oakland ended any thoughts of making it a full month without a point when Chris Bahr connected on a 51-yard field goal 3:03 into the first quarter. The Raiders added a safety and a touchdown in the first quarter but needed a 44-yard field goal by Bahr with 2:21 left in the game for the victory after Tampa Bay came back from a 15-0 deficit. But Oakland couldn't rest easy until Ted Hendricks blocked his NFL record 22nd kick on Bill Capece’s 30-yard field goal attempt with eight seconds remaining. In other NFL action, the Cincinnati Bengals downed the Pittsburgh Steelers 34-7; the New York Jets trounced the Buffalo Bills 33-14; the New England Patriots knocked off the Houston Oilers 38-10; the Cleveland Browns edged the New Orleans Saints 20-17; the Atlanta Falcons swarmed all over the St. Louis Cardinals 41-20. The San Francisco 49ers topped the Green Bay Packers 13-3; the San Diego Chargers embarrassed the Baltimore Colts 43-14; the Miami Dolphins took the Washington Redskins 13-10; the New Yorq Giants whipped the Seattle Seahawks 32-0; the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Denver Broncos 28 14 and the Dallas Cowboys beat the Los Angeles Rams 29-17. The Eagles simply ran into a red-hot Minnesota club that now

DePAUW DROPPED BACK to receive a punt from NCAA Division Ill’s No. 1 punter Dan Paro (43.1 yard average prior to the contest) after stopping the Big Red on three downs, only to see Tom Donohue slip after touching the ball and Denison recovered on the DePauw 10 yard line. Two plays later fullback Bob Hayman, who came into the game third in the nation in scoring, scored his 10th touchdown of the season. Paro’s kick gave Denison its only lead at 7-3. Doyle led the Tigers right back to the lead, throwing passes of 15 and 18 yards to Perkins and handing off to Lindlow for a seven yard pick up. Lindlow’s longest first half run set up the longest pass play of the day, as Perkins took a Doyle pass 36 yards to the Denison one, where Doyle scored from. Finzer’s kick put the Tigers ahead for good. DePauw’s defense pretty well dominated the first half. Outside of the two first half fumbles on punt returns that set up the two Denison touchdowns, the Big Red never crossed the 50-yard line into Tiger territory. THE TIGERS WENT AHEAD 17-7 with 10:04 left in the half when Perkins caught a three-yard Doyle touchdown pass. The defense and Alan Hill’s 49-yard punt return set up the 24-yard scoring drive. Hits by Bob Klupchak and Joe Dayan accounted for 17 yards in losses and Paro’s 36-yard punt was practically equaled by Hill’s return to the Big Red 24. A 10-point halftime lead might have relaxed the always worried Tiger head coach, but Denison scored on the second DePauw fumble. The Big Red recovered the last Tiger error on the DePauw 17 and Hayman scored his 11th touchdown of the year on a four-yard run with 4:09 left in the half. “I was so worried at halftime. I felt we could move, but yet, at ■ halftime it’s 16-14,” Mourouzis recalled. DePauw’s second unit came close to scoring, but the official ruled Tony Hauck’s catch of a Tracy Clifford 26-yard pass out of bound and field goal attempts of 43 and 35 yards in a driving rain by Finzer scored nothing. DePAUW CAME AWAY empty handed on its opening possession of the second half when a Finzer 37-yard field goal attempt was wide. But Hill got the ball right back for DePauw on a Denison fumble and Lindlow burst 37-yards for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage. Finzer’s PAT kick was good for a 24-14 Tiger lead. The final Tiger touchdown came on Bonaccorsi’s one-yard power after being set up by an 11-yard Perkins pass reception from Doyle and 12-yard run to the one by Lindlow. Although coach Mourouzis felt the Tigers could throw in the second half, they did so only six times, primarily because the running game was so successful. In fact, the wetter it got, the better the Tigers ran the football. DePAUW RUSHED FOR 166 second half yards and threw for only 32, compared to 134 yards rushing and 66 passing in the second half by Denison. Along with that DePauw did not commit a second-half turnover. “That’s a compliment to the kids to be able to play in that type of weather and not have a fumble,” Mourouzis raved. DePauw goes on the road now to Olivet Nazarene in Kankakee, 111. next week.

sits atop the NFC Central with a 5-2 record. Vikings quarterback Tommy Kramer fired four touchdown passes for the second week in a row, completing 24-of-46 for 257 yards. A 50-yard scoring play to Sammy White highlighted a 21-point second quarter for Minnesota. Cowboys 29, Rams 17 After last week’s humiliating 45-14 loss to the 49ers, the Cowboys bounced back with a big win Sunday night. Tony Dorsett rushed for 154 yards, including a 44-yard touchdown and Danny White hooked up with Tony Hill on a 63-yard pass play, the longest of White’s career. Dallas, 5-2, pulled within a game of Philadelphia in the NFC East while the Rams, 4-3, fell one game behind the 49ers in the NFC West. Bengals 34, Steelers 7 Ken Anderson threw for 346 yards and a pair of touchdowns, including a 73-yarder to David Verser, as the Bengals took over first place in the AFC Central with a 5-2 record. The loss snapped a four-game winning streak by Pittsburgh, which managed just 210 yards of offense. Cincinnati racked up 494 yards of offense. Jets 33, Bills 14 Bobby Jones scooped up teammate Mike Augustyniak’s fumble and ran 61 yards for a touchdown to climax the Jets’ 21-point third quarter. The victory avenged the Bills 31-0 humiliation of New York in the season opener. The Jets’ other third period scores came on a 29-yard run by Bruce Harper and a 19-yard Richard Todd to Jerome Barkum TD pass. Buffalo quarterback Joe Ferguson was just 15-for-34. The Jets, 3-3-1, are 3-0-1 in their last four games. Falcons 41, Cardinals 20 Steve Bartkowski passed for 288 yards and four touchdowns, two each to Alfred Jenkins and William Andrews, as Atlanta, 43, stopped a three-game losing streak. Andrews caught eight passes for 132 yards and took fourth quarter screen passes 18 and 70 yards for touchdowns. St. Louis, 2-5, has been blown out two weeks in a row after defeating Dallas. Giants 32, Seahawks 0 Joe Danelo kicked a club record six field goals, including a 54yarder, and Rob Carpenter ran for 116 yards and a touchdown as the Giants, 4-3, went over .500 this late in the season for the first time since 1978. The Giants are the only team in the NFL to give up less than 100 points.

DePauw's Tiger defense roamed the Blackstock Stadium field in packs Saturday, just looking for a Denison ball carrier to gang-up on during the Old Gold Day victory. DePauw's defense did not allow the now 3-3 Big Red to

Cascade keeps sectional title

By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor There was really no contest to it Saturday during the Greencastle IHSAA cross country sectional at Windy Hill Country Club. Taking first and second places, Cascade won 23 points over second place Crawfordsville and three individuals and one team from Putnam County advanced to the Terre Haute regional. MARK HEALEY won the 3.1 mile run with a 16:09 time and teammate Dennis Hogan finished second in 16:12. South Putnam’s Bob Schroer finished third and the Eagles fourth as a team, earning one of the five regional berths. Cascade totaled 48 points, Crawfordsville was second with 71, Mooresville third with 82, South Putnam fourth at 90 and North Vermillion took the last regional ticket at 134.

49ers 13, Packers 3 Johnny Davis plunged 1 yard for the go-ahead touchdown late in the third quarter and Rax Wersching kicked two field goals in the 49ers fourth straight victory, which, combined with the Rams loss in Dallas, gives the 49ers sole possession of first place in the NFC West. San Francisco held Packers wide receivers James Lofton and John Jefferson to a combined four catches for 60 yards. Green Bay quarterback Lynn Dickey suffered a jammed neck late in the third quarter and was replaced by David Whitehurst. Dolphins 13, Redskins 10 Rookie fullback Andra Franklin scored from 1 yard out and Uwe von Schamann kicked a pair of field goals, including the game-winner with 9:39 left. The victory enabled the Dolphins, 5-1-1, to extend their lead over the Bills in the AFC East to IV 2 games after Miami lost to Buffalo last week. Browns 20, Saints 17 Benny Ricardo missed a 37-yard field goal with 1:11 remaining to enbable the Browns to improve to 3-4. Rookie George Rogers stunned the Browns defense with a 79-yard TD run and New Orleans. 1-6, got its other touchdown when Wayne Wilson went eight yards with a fake field goal. Mike Pruitt’s 1yard fourth-quarter plunge was the difference for Cleveland. Chiefs 28, Broncos 14 Whitney Paul returned a fumble 47 yards for one TD and rookie Joe Delaney raced 82 yards for another as the Chiefs tied the Broncos and Chargers for the AFC lead at 5-2. Denver quarterback Craig Morton threw for 342 yards. Delaney, who rushed for 149 yards, became the first Chiefs back to gain 100 yards in three straight games. Chargers 43, Colts 14 Dan Fouts passed for 298 yards and three touchdowns. Chuck Muncie scored twice on runs of 3 yards and John Cappeletti scored on a 12-yard pass and 1-yard run. It was the sixth straight loss for Baltimore, whose quarterback, Bert Jones, was sacked six times. Patriots 38, Oilers 10 Steve Grogan, starting his first game in a month, threw for two touchdowns to spark a 17-point third quarter that carried the Patriots to just their second victory in seven games. Houston quarterback Ken Stabler threw four interceptions and Earl Campbell was held to 86 yards on 27 carries by a defense that was ranked last against the run.

SOUTHMONT finished sixth at 177, Cloverdale was a surprising seventh at 191, Rockville finished with 202, Greencastle ninth at 209, Monrovia 257, Turkey Run 267 and Fountain Central 344. North Putnam did not have enough runners entered to make up a recognized team. Cascade captured its second consecutive sectional title by taking first, second, fourth, 14th and 28th in scoring positions. Behind Healey and Hogan were Mike Stewart in fourth place, Steve Robbins in 14th position and Richard Jones in 28th. Duane Higgins was 61st and Dan Smyth 62nd rounding out the seven-man effort. South Putnam won a regional berth by placing two runners in the top 10 and three in the top 20. Schroer, who led at the end of mile marker, finished in 16:17 in third place. Bradley Dorsett, was 10th in 17:10, the last place

that would automatically send a runner to the regional. Todd Wey came home 18th in 17:41 and Dwayne Minor was 24th in 17:56. Tracy Merkel earned 39th in 18:41 and Chris Patterson was the seventh Eagle in 19:30, finishing 56th. CLOVERDALE WAS a big surprise considering No. 3 runner Brian Haltom did not participate in Saturday’s meet. Keith Johnson was the first Clover to finish, coming in 21st in 17:48 and John Sanders was 23rd in 17:54. Don Trumbo, with possibly his best effort of the year, came in 38th overall with an 18:37 while Mark Klein was 55th, Karl Klein 57th and Greg Johnson 67th. Jon Skinner is headed for the Terre Haute regional despite Greencastle’s ninth place team finish. Skinner finished sixth overall with a 16:53 time and was the only Cub in the top 25.

Bears vs. Lions may be best game to miss PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) Tonight's nationally televised National Football League game between the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears might not be one the country will want to watch if Detroit’s chief offensive weapon doesn’t start. But with or without Billy Sims, the game is a “must” for the Lions, 2-4 and winless in two Central Division games. A loss would hobble Detroit’s hopes of overtaking the divisonleading Minnesota Vikings. “It’s a big game," Sims said. "This is one we’ve got to have. It’s a must win.” The Vikings are 5-2 after beating previously unblemished Philadelphia on Sunday. Sims is listed as “questionable” meaning there’s a 50-5 C chance he will play after stubbing a big toe last Sunday against the Denver Broncos. He missed practice all week, but maintains he still will line up with the help of a support designed to shift the weight on his ailing left foot. And Eric Hippie, the No. 3 quarterback behind Gary Danielson at the beginning of the season, will make his first start for Detroit. Hippie, a second-year pro out of Utah State, has total experience in live NFL game action consisting of mop-up detail late in Detroit’s defeat at Tampa Bay two weeks ago. Entering the game late in the third quarter after Coach Monte Clark yanked second-stringer Jeff Komlo, Hippie completed four of 15 passes for 102 yards and two interceptions. The Lions’ quarterback problems began three weeks ago when Danielson suffered a dislocated wrist. Danielson is expected to be out about four more weeks. Hippie, the Lions’ No. 4 draft pick in 1980, says he is eager to play, although he is wary of the extra pressure generated by the circus-like atmosphere surrounding the Monday night games. Chicago is a disappointing 1-5 for the season and 1-2 in the Central Division. The Bears defense is what’s most likely to give Hippie trouble. Chicago seldom uses identical formations two plays in a row. But Clark has confidence in his team’s support of Hippie, and in the quarterback’s ability.

Tony Judy finished 29th in 18:18, Pete Meyer was 48th in 19:15, Steve Swartz was 58th. Bob Lezotte 73rd and Todd Gray was 81st. North Putnam entered only three runners in the 82-man race. Rouie Law finished 27th as the first Cougar in 18:11. Kevin Lawhorn came in 63rd and Brian Hartman 74th. TEAM STANDINGS ■ .Cascade 48 2. Crawfordsville 71 3. Mooresville 82 A. South Putnam 90 5.
