JUAN APONTE: Scores 12 in debut

Boilers ready to play competition

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) Jackson State was just what Purdue needed to tune up for Saturday’s battle with DePaul, Coach Gene Ready said. The Boilermakers, who will try for three straight in Chicago, mauled the Tigers 8147 in West Lafayette Monday night. “This was the type of game that’s good for you when you’re getting ready for somebody like DePaul,” Ready said. “I suppose it’s a good springboard game. Everybody got into the game. When all your players work hard in practice, you like to reward them by playing them in a game.” The Tigers were in the match only the first few seconds, taking a 5-4 lead. Purdue outscored them 22-3 to take a 26-8 lead midway in the first half. By intermission, the Big Ten Boilermakers were on top 42-21. Reith Edmondson, 6-foot-5 senior forward, led the scoring with 22 points for Purdue. He hit 9 of 12 field goal attempts. “I was impressed with the way Purdue got the ball to Edmondson," said Jackson State

Coach Paul Covington. “We tried four or five ways to keep it away from him. We'd stop him once or twice, and they’d make an immediate adjustment.” Russell Cross added 17 for Purdue, 2-0, hitting 7 of 11 from the floor. Edmondson and Cross were the only double figure scorers for Purdue. The Tigers had just one -lOV2 senior center Audie Norris with 19 points. He was the game’s leading rebounder with 14. “Norris never has played in a game with as many big players at one time,” his coach said. “This is the best team Jackson State has ever played. I told my players in the dressing room this was a good experience for all of them. We had a bad shooting night, but Purdue played good defense JACKSON STATE (47) Jiles 1 2-2 4, Harris 2 1-2 5, Norris 7 5-12 19, Cartero 0-2 0, Seals 2 2-4 6, Mitchell 0 0-0 0.

Millikin comes in Saturday Tigers edged by Little Giants, 63-62

By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor The DePauw Tigers came within a couple of points of making Mike Steele’s debut a successful one Monday night. Arch-rival Wabash College rallied from an eight-point second half deficit to tie the game with 5:37 remaining and went on to edge the Tigers 63-62 in the opening NCAA Division 111 college basketball game of the season for both teams at Bowman Gym. DePAUW ASSUMED a 53-45 advantage with 7:30 left in the contest when Dave Hathaway, last year's top freshman, came up with a steal off a fullcourt press and scored a layup. Over the next 2Vi minutes the Tigers put only three points on the scoreboard and Wabash hit five free throws and a field goal. The killer play was a fourpointer by Steve Ramsey. The freshman out of North Central High School (Sullivan County) hit a 25-foot bomb and was fouled by a Tiger attempting to block him out, resulting in a bonus free throw situation. Juan Aponte, playing his first varsity collegiate basketball Upsets are new way of college life By The Associated Press The topsy-turvy trend that has taken hold of college football seems to have spread to the basketball court. Victimized on the first weekend of play were N 0.2 UCLA, N 0.5 Georgetown, No. 13 Wake Forest, No. 16 Georgia and No. 17 Louisiana State. The Bruins, who lest to Brigham Young 79-75 in Larry Farmer’s debut as coach, fell to No.B. The Hoyas were beaten by Southwestern Louisiana and Ohio State in the Alaska Shootout though they did beat AlaskaAnchorage and dropped to 20th. San Francisco knocked off Georgia 92-84 and moved into 14th place in the poll. NevadaLas Vegas topped Louisiana State 83-79 in overtime and wound up rated 18th this week. Wake Forest, was surprised by unheralded Richmond 64-61. Georgia, LSU and Wake Forest dropped out of the Top 20. North Carolina, which beat Kansas 74-67 in its opener last Saturday, remained atop the rankings. The Tar Heels, who took Southern Cal 73-62 Monday night, after the rankings were announced, collected 45 of a possible 60 first-place votes and 1,174 points.

Clemson reaches top of stack

NISSENSONAP Sports Writer For the first time in the 46year history of The Associated Press college football poll, the Clemson Tigers are No.l. Clemson today became the seventh team this season the old record was five to take over the No.l position. Michigan, Notre Dame, Southern California, Texas, Penn State and Pitt all failed to hold it. Pitt was the latest victim of 1981" s No.l jinx. After four weeks at the top, the previously unbeaten Panthers plummeted to 10th place when they were destroyed by Penn State 48-14. That left Clemson (11-0) as the only undefeated club among the NCAA’s 137 Division l-A teams. The Tigers received 63

game, turned a Ted Rutan pass into a 58-56 Tiger lead and the final DePauw advantage, 60-58, came w hen Greg Notestine, last year’s leading scorer, put a long baseline rebound back up. ‘‘ABOUT WHAT I expected,’’ coach Mike Steele said of the Tigers’ play in the opening game. “We’ve been preaching to them that we want a good team that people here can be proud of and the school can be proud of and the only way you can do that is to play as hard as you can play. And I thought tonight the guys who played really made a good effort.” There was a great deal of skepticism surrounding the Tigers going into the opener and

of 68 first-place votes and 1,351 of a possible 1,360 points from a nationwide panel of sports writers and sportscasters in the last regular-season poll of the season. The national champion will be announced in the final AP poll following the bowl games. That poll will be released on Sunday, Jan. 3, 1981, at 6:30 p.m., EST. Clemson will meet fourthranked Nebraska in the Orange Bowl on New Year’s Night. “The only thing I’d like to do,” Clemson Coach Danny Ford said, “is what six other folks ain’t done, and that’s figure out how to stay there.” The five other first-place votes went to Georgia, Nebraska, Southern Methodist. Penn State and Miami, Fla.

when Steele had Aponte and Rutan, who has not played a varsity basketball game in about three years, among the starters the horizon looked even darker. Like a good book that hasn’t made the best seller list, Aponte and Rutan proved worth watching. Aponte, a 6-3 sophomore from Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, scored 12 points and led the Tigers with five rebounds despite foul trouble. Rutan, the 5-10 point-guard who led Columbus East High School to the IHSAA state tournament final four as a senior, quarterbacked the Tigers most of the game and passed out eight assists. NOTESTINE TIED the game

Georgia, the defending national champion, received 1,255 points and moved up from third place to second. The Bulldogs, who will meet Pitt in the Sugar Bowl, are 9-1 and wind up the regular season against Georgia Tech on Saturday. Alabama, which tied Georgia for the Southeastern Conference crown, defeated Auburn 28-17 and finished 9-1-1 overall, received 1,188 points in climbing from fourth to third. Nebraska jumped from fifth to fourth with 1,104 points, followed by Southern Methodist, up from sixth to fifth with 1,050. The Mustangs, who won the Southwest Conference title, are ineligible for a bowl game,

at 2-2 and starting center Ron Huser gave DePauw its first lead at 3-2 with a free throw. The Tigers fell behind by as many as six points twice during the first half, but rallied in the final five minutes to trail by one, 31-30, at halftime. Aponte started the rally with a power move against 6-8 Wabash center Pete Metzelaars. Dixon added another field goal against Metzelaars inside and dree throws by Mike Krauss and Notestine trimmed the margin to 27-26 with 2:30 left in the half. Tom Tenhove gave the Tigers a brief 28-27 edge, but with 33 seconds left the Tigers found themselves behind 29-28 and

12 points and passed out two assists, while Metzelaars was held to 11 points, but still yanked down nine rebounds. (Banner-Graphic photo by Steve Fields).

went into a delay, working for that final shot. Dixon’s baseline five-footer gave the Tigers a 3029 edge but Wabash managed two more points before the half ended. DURING THE closing minutes of the game the new nojump ball rule in college basketball hurt the Tigers. DePauw earned a what would have been a jump ball under the old rule playing super defense. However, it was Wabash’s turn to take the ball out of bounds and the Little Giants maintained possession, forcing the Tigers to foul for the basketball. Showing excellent shot selection, and good patience, the Tigers hit 49 per cent (25-51) from the floor. Wabash hit a similar 50 percent (26-52). THE TIGERS. WHO com

Greencastle defeats Southmont NEW MAEKET-Greencastle erupted for 17 third quarter points Saturday afternoon to defeat host Southmont 51-27 in a high school girls basketball game. The non-conference victory sends Greencastle into Wednesday night’s home conference game against Cascade with a 21 record. “THE THIRD quarter was the turning point,” coach Kathy Kissinger said. “We played super defense and they really had to work for their shots and we were able to score.” Greencastle outscored Southmont 17-4 during the eight-minute span. A big key in the Tiger Cubs’ second victory was the defensive play of Lynda Durham, Shelley Hunter and Sandy Fox against six-foot Mounti center Judy Carlile. Although Carlile got 12 points, half of them had to come at the free throw line and no Tiger Cubs fouled out. However, foul trouble did put the younger members of the Cub team into some pressure situations. “It was an important game especially for our young people because Teresa Paullus got into foul trouble and had to sit out for most of the second and third quarters,” Kissinger said. BETH BRADEN and Janelle Stouder paced the Cubs with eight points each, as nine of the 10 Greencastle players scored, but none reached double figures. Greencastle’s junior varsity raised its record to 3-0 with a 2520 victory. GREENCASTLE (511 Fox 1 4-8 2 6, Hunter 3 0-0 1 6. Durham 2 3-4 3 7.
