WCC championship chase continues Friday

By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor . An undefeated Putnam County high school football team is r)ow out of the question, but a West Central Conference title is hot. . Greencastle returns to the title hunt Friday night at Owen Yalley and would like to get some help from North Putnam. The Cougars host 2-0 Cascade, while South Putnam journeys to Monrovia. Cloverdale leaves the conference for a game at Dugger-Union, while Tri-West goes to Clinton Prairie and Edgewood takes on Class AAA Bloomington North. . GREENCASTLE’S primary concern going to Owen Valley is the Patriot running game. Coach Randy Colglazier’s third Patriot team racked up 290 yards on the ground in the opening victory against Monrovia. Last week, however, Edgewood shut them down to 88 yards on the ground and only allowed seven first downs for the entire contest. “Edgewood is a big football team themselves,” Greencastle coach John Fallis said. “They matched up with Owen Valley’s size better then we will. We’ll have to contend with the power tackle plays. We’ll still go with out basic defense, but we may have some different people see some action than last week. ” Despite the fact Owen Valley did not complete a pass in the opening game and picked up only 47 yards through the air against Edgewood, Fallis says the Cub secondary must be alert. “The thing we’ll have to be concerned with on the pass is we don’t want to go to sleep,” Fallis said. WHILE Greencastle’s offensive backfield has been balanced as Fallis predicted, one obvious factor in the wishbone continues to show up- quarterback Bill Shuee does not pitch the football, he exercises the option and keeps it everytime. “The first week against North Putnam every read was correct,” Fallis said of the tape review. “Last week against Brazil he didn’t read it as well, se we’re going to spend more time on the option.” Greencastle appears to be the healthiest football team in Putnam County. Craig Flint, the throwing quarterback in third and long situations, has a bruised thumb on the throwing hand, but that is the only wound. AFTER FOUR YEARS of having everything fall in place at Ndrth Putnam, the Cougars can’t seem to get a break this year. First year coach John Russell, like the rest of the WCC, knew Greencastle would be strong. But last week was a surprise from Tri-West's sophomores. They surprised Edgewood in the season opener. “Right out of the frying pan and into the fire.” defensive coordinator Ron Price said of Friday’s home game with Cascade. The Cadets have turned into the most potent offensive football team in the WCC. Cascade has scored 60 points in its first two games with Cloverdale and South Putnam. ■ "WE’RE NOT making any changes, instead we’re going back to,basics and working on things like blocking and tackling,” Price said of the Cougar practices. "Our offense is breaking down because we’re not blocking and our defense is breaking down because we’re not tackling properly.” North has an additional problem this week. Starting fullback Tim Blocher is doubtful for the game. According to Price, the junior suffered a severe back sprain at Tri-West and has been out of school all week. The Cougars also lost backs Terry Judy and Bill Zeffel. Judy, a backup defensive back has a bruised Achilles tendon and Zeffel. a backup halfback has a sprained ankle. Both injuries came out of Tuesday’s junior varsity game. CLOVERDALE has scored seven points in eight quarters of football. Dugger-Union has yet to score, but has played only one

Offense, not defense, is

big question for DePauw

While DePauw soccer coach Page Cotton can’t really put his finger on what his team will be like this year, he does know one thing for sure, this year certainly won’t be a repeat of last year’s “long season.” “The reason it was such a long season was not because of our record (6-9), which was bad but not horrible, but because of our bad attitude and the way we lost games,” Cotton said. “THIS YEAR IS completely different, though. We’re working very hard as a team and the talent I know we had last year is starting to show. Credit has to go to my tricaptains, they’ve been showing tremendous leadership.” The tri-captains, senior goalie Ted Crowe, senior fullback Ed Holub, and senior halfback John Peterson, will also be depended on to contribute their talents, which on past performances are substantial, in addition to their leadership. Peterson scored two goals in 1981, six assists to lead the team and was named to the all-league

Great deal riding on opening game

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Pitt quarterback Dan Marino and North Carolina running back Kelvin Bryant have much to gain and much to lose when their nationally ranked teams kick off their college football seasons. Not only will a loss cripple the national championship hopes of top-ranked Panthers or the fifth-ranked Tar Heels, but the two^ players also have plenty ricfing on the nationally telexed game tonight.

Crowe, the all-league goalie for 1980 when he registered nine shutouts, enters his fourth year as a starter. Holub has anchored the Tiger defense for the past two years and scored three goals from his fullback spot in 1981. One area DePauw will have to improve on in 1982 is their goal production. The Tigers were held to one or no goals 10 times in 1981.

Marino and Bryant are among the best college football players in the country. Marino was the nation’s best passer last season, throwing for nearly 2,900 yards and 37 touchdowns.

While the Clovers played their best game during a 13-0 loss at Monrovia, the Bulldogs were ripped for over 40 points by Sullivan. Despite the lack of offense, and the loss of veteran Brien Holsapple to a lung infection, coach Doug Ward is not changing his offense. “No, we’re going to stick with what we’ve been doing. We might throw the football more, though. Too many people have come in and played us to run In fact, we throw the football as well as we run it,” the first year coach said. Coaci Paul “Buck” Steele’s Bulldogs had only 62 yards of offense last week from the I-formation and pro-set offense. Dugger gained 46 yards rushing and only 16 passing, despite throwing the ball 18 times, while desperately trying to get back into a lost cause. Three fumbles lost contributed greatly to the Union setback Along with Holsapple, Cloverdale will be without tight end Wes Young, who is sidelined with a knee injury. Word on Young’s playing future is expected Friday morning. Mark Klein is stepping into Holsapple’s tailback position, while Kevin Arnold will start in Young’s tight end spot. SOUTH PUTNAM coach Bob Gaddis knows a good defensive effort can stop Monrovia, but it’s the Eagle offense that concerns him. “Cascade had only 184 yards of total offense and all of their touchdowns were set up by turnovers, so we feel like we’re playing pretty good defense. We just have to keep our defense from being on the field all night," Gaddis said. South Putnam scored 12 points in its opening game, but was shut down last week by a bigger Cascade team. The Cadets set on tailback Brian Christy all night and the junior did not play in the second quarter after being shaken up in the first. GADDIS SAYS the Eagles must establish their passing game. "Last week our passing game didn’t compliment our running game very well. We had several passes just a fingertip away. We just have to catch thoses passes. If we do. then they have to respect our passing game,” the coach said. The Eagles could be without Mike McHugh Friday night because of a pulled muscle. Should junior besidelined John Smithies or Christy would move to free safety and either Smithies or David Varvel would take care of the punting chores.

for the season. THE TIGERS’ leading scorer in 1981 with eight goals, Ben Anderson, returns for his junior season and is working “extremely hard,” according to Cotton. Junior Tom Noonan also returns at the forward spot, where he scored two goals last year. The real key to DePauw's goal production could be freshman Bill Hughes, who Cotton is already touting as his top freshman. The three starting halfbacks, Peterson, sophomore Jim Miliotes, and junior Phil Holstrom are “possibly the best group of halfbacks I’ve had here at DePauw,” according to Cotton. The injury bug has also struck the squad’s defense as two-year starter Joe Brown is probably out for the season with a toe injury. Joining Holub on the defense are junior Joe Rohs, sophomore Mark Populorum, and freshman John Rogers, Scott Adams and Larry Rodrigues.

prove a springboard to the top individual award in college sports. “I’ll just try to keep running hard," said Bryant, a senior. “I know it’s going to be one of the best defenses I’ve ever played against.” “I feel honored I’m a candidate,” said Marino. “On the other hand, I’m team oriented. I want Pitt to win. But I’d be happy to go to New York and accept the award.” The attention focused on the

Fazio, 43, previously the Panthers’ offensive coordinator, is hoping for a more successful debut than his predecessors, Jackie Sherrill and Johnny Majors.

Her time, though seven tenths of a second slower than North’s Conrad (defending sectional champ), topped Laura Katula’s 1978 record of 1:18.69. North broke McAnally Pool records in the 200-vard medley relay and the 100-yard backstroke. The Patriots’ 2:04.31 relay time broke Carmel’s 1978 record of 2:07.18.

North Carolina quarterback Rod Elkins has played in just one losing game in college, and coach Dick Crum’s Tar Heels also have an All-America lineman in guard Dave Drechsler. The Panthers have AllAmericans in tackle Jimbo Covert and wide receiver Julius Dawkins.
