Surprising champs in soccer league In a series of upsets, the Destroyers, Blazers and Stingers won the Putnam County Soccer League Tournament titles. In each championship match it was a case of a second place regular-season team beating the regular-season champion. Justin Barker scored the only goal of the game as the Destroyers defeated the Tremors for the under eight title. Jimmy Albin, Tommy Hanna and Jon Blue each kicked goals on penalty shots to give the Blazers a 6-4, doubleovertime victory over the Breakers in the under 12 finale. The two teams were knotted 3-3 at the end of regulation and two overtimes. Jason Schubert kicked the Breakers’ overtime goal. Troy Wilson scored four goals to give the Stingers a 4-1 under 16 age division championship victory over the Rowdies. Black beats Gold WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) Drake Morris led the alumni “Black” team with 12 points in the first half and Mack Gadis led the varsity “Blacks” with 16 points in the second to down the “Gold” team 108-96 in a Purdue intrasquad college basketball game.

Team with best defense should win Oakenßucket
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) already broken school records for the most points allowed in a season and will end disappointing football campaigns Saturday in the annual battle for the Old Oaken Bucket. Rookie Coach Sam Wyche’s Hoosiers have allowed 199 points in the past four games and have given up 329 points in 10 games, topping the previous Indiana record of 307 points allowed in a nine-game season in 1957. Second-year Coach Leon Burtnett’s Boilermakers have given up 336 points, exceeding the former record of 324 his first Purdue team allowed last year. “Defense is where you win games, and it takes more time to build a solid defense,” says Burtnett. “On defense, you have to be able to handle people one-on-one. We’re two years
Collins makes Patriots AFC contender
By MICHAEL JANOFSKY c. 1983 N.Y. Times News Service NEW YORK Tony Collins of the New England Patriots knows about big numbers. He was the 15th of 16 children and the 11th of 13 running backs taken during the first two rounds of the 1981 National Football League draft. This season he has been involved in several other big numbers. He is the second-leading rusher in the American Conference with 870 yards, the team’s leading scorer with 9 touchdowns and, perhaps, the principal reason the Patriots have become the No. 1 rushing team in the league after 11 games. With victories in four of their last five games, the Patriots t have improved their chances to win a playoff berth. At 6-5, they trail only the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins, both 7-4, in the American Conference East. The Baltimore Colts, who lost last Sunday to the Pittsburgh Steelers, are also 6-5. Only the Jets, whose 24-17 loss to the Buffalo Bills dropped them to 4-7, appear to be out of the race for the divisional title. Sunday, when the Patriots play the Cleveland Browns in Foxboro, Mass., Collins could surpass the 873 yards he gained as a rookie. If he gains 130 yards, he will become the third runner in Patriot history to reach 1,000 in a season. Jim Nance did it twice, with 1,458 in 1966 and 1,216 in 1967, and Sam Cunningham had 1,015 in 1977. NATIONAL CONFERENCE Giants (2-8-1) at Philadelphia Eagles (4-7) These teams have had similar disappointing seasons. The Giants have the longest nonwinning streak in the league, seven games; the Eagles have the longest losing streak, five games. Both teams have better defenses than offenses, but the Giants’ defense has been more consistent. That may be the only reason to expect the Giants to win. Chicago Bears (4-7) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-10) Bear in mind that two of the Bears’ victories came against Philadelphia, including a 17-14 win last week. The Buccaneers, whom they beat, 17-10, the second week of the season, may not be the pushover their record suggests. With rare exception, the Buccaneers play steady defense, and it doesn’t take much to stop the Bears on offense. Detroit Lions (5-6) vs. Green Bay Packers (6-5) Because of the relative balance in the Central Division, this has become a vital game for both teams, perhaps more so for the Packers, who lost to the Lions in their earlier game, 38-14. With no dominating team in the division, either of these teams or the Vikings could win the division; and because of the strength of the other divisions in the conference, the second-place team in the Central is not likely to win a wildcard position in the playoffs. San Francisco 49ers (7-4) at Atlanta Falcons (4-7) A day before the Falcons practically played themselves out of the playoff picture by losing to the Rams last Monday night, 36-13, the 49ers were playing their best all-round game of the year against the Saints. In winning, 27-0, the 49ers held the Saints to 74 yards rushing and 55 yards passing, and they sacked Dave Wilson nine times.

away from being physically strong enough to do that. The people here know that. “Naturally I’m disappointed our defense has a ways to go. If our defense was as good as our offense this year, we could have finished 6-5 or maybe even 7-4,” said Burtnett. The Hoosiers rank last in the conference in rushing defense and total defense and ninth in passing defense. Purdue is sixth in rushing defense, eighth in passing defense and seventh in total defense. Both teams are much better offensively, especially in passing where the Hoosiers rank second and the Boilermakers fourth. But Indiana’s air game suffered twin blows in last week’s 49-21 loss to Illinois with injuries to starting quarterback Steve Bradley and reserve Cam Cameron. Cameron, also a reserve on Coach Bob Knight’s
basketball team, injured his knee and will not play against Purdue. Bradley, who sprained an ankle, is expected to play although Wyche has given special attention to his other quarterbacks. The running game, however, is wnat must improve, said Wyche, noting that the Hoosiers haven’t rushed for more than 77 yards in any of the past four losses. “If we get 50-60 yards on the ground, no, we won’t win the ball game. We have to run the ball better than we have, no question about that,” he said. But getting through Purdue’s defense won’t be easy, the Indiana coach said. “I don’t see them more vulnerable (than other Big Ten teams). The fact that this is the Indiana-Purdue ballgame, you’re going to see overachieving type play
Washington Redskins (9-2) at Los Angeles Rams (7-4) This important game carries the subplot of the the league’s leading runner, Eric Dickerson, who has 1,369 yards, facing the league’s leading defense against the rush. Each team is tied for the lead in its division, the Redskins with the Cowboys in the East, the Rams with the 49ers in the West. In the event the Redskins and Rams would finish second, a criteron for determining playoff participants is the record of each team against others in the conference. The Rams have the edge, 7-2 against Washington’s 5-2. AMERICAN CONFERENCE Los Angeles Raiders (8-3) at Buffalo Bills (7-4) Joe Ferguson had his best day passing in five weeks when the Bills beat the Jets, 24-17. So Mike Haynes will make his debut at cornerback for the Raiders at a good time. Baltimore Colts (6-5) at Miami Dolphins (7-4) Kush starts Mark Herrmann, the Colts’ passing game may stand a better chance for success against the Dolphins, whose defense is vulnerable to a strong passer. Herrmann, who played last Sunday in the loss to the Steelers, threw reasonably well in the second half and better than Mike Pagel, the starter. Houston Oilers (1-10) at Cincinnati Bengals (4-7) The inexplicable part of the Oilers’ record this season is that they

By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor Saturday afternoon is “Community Day” at DePauw University and along with the opening basketball game of the season against Huntington College, a number of activities involving Putnam County residents are planned. The first annual Alumni Basketball Game provides the afternoon warmup act. At 1 p.m. the present junior varsity squad, which included Cascade High School graduate Dennis Hogan, plays a DePauw alumni team that wili include one of Greencastle High School’s all time great players Jay Frye. EXPECTED TO JOIN Frye against the? younger Tigers are DePauw’s No. 3 all-time leading scorer Gary Pittenger, No. 12 all-time scorer Bill Caskey and No. 15 all-time scorer Kirk Kitzinger. Caskey was a starter on the 1978 DePauw University NCAA Division 111 tournament team and Elmer McCall’s final squad. When the Tigers take the court against Huntington College the South Putnam High School Eagle will be providing entertainment during timeouts and the halftime show includes the “Sensations” dance team. From the sound of the preseason injury reports the entertainment off court might be better than the game. Coach Mike Steele will open his third season at DePauw without 6-6 junior center Craig McAtee and 5-10 guard Neal Ogle. Sophomore Tim Vieke just got off crutches Tuesday and how effective the sharp shooting guard will be remains a mystery. STEELE EXPECTS TO start 6-6 sophomore Joe Vanderkolk at center with 6-4 seniors Dave Hathaway and Juan Aponte at forwards. Sophomore Phil Wendel plays his first game at No. 1 guard. The second guard depends upon Vieke’s ankle. “It’ll be a good test for us,” Steele said. “They’ll be a little bigger than we are, but it’s the kind of team we’re going to see all year. ’ ’ Steele also pointed out that despite being
South Putnam wins first meet
Winning eight of 13 matches, South Putnam opened the high school wrestling season Wednesday night with a 48-30 victory over visiting West Vigo. “That’s the first time in a few years we’ve won our opening match,” coach Mark Wildman said. THE EAGLES received only one forfeit from West Vigo and also got a surprising performances from two freshmen and two sophomores. Dan Smetzer received the forfeit at 112 pounds. Jerry Fox and Tony Cash were the freshmen surprises.

smaller than most opponents last year, the Tigers won the rebounding battle in 24 of 25 games by executing fundamental rebounding techniques that are going to be important to this team. THE DIFFERENCE Saturday is going to be experience. This is Huntington’s third game and DePauw’s first of the season and first without four of last year’s top eight players. Joe Dixon, Ted Rutan, Ron Huser and Gregg Notestine received their degrees and took approximately half of last year’s 70.8 scoring average with them. Expect the Tigers to be a little more patient this year because there aren’t as many good shooters. “I would rather see us work a little longer and get the ball to Vieke, Hathaway and our good shooters. Make two extra passes and get our shooters shots,” Steele said. The shooters got the basketball last year because of Rutan’s passing, one of the top assist players in the nation. Wendel takes on that role this season along with a tough defensive job. “PHIL DOESN’T HAVE to score for us to be helpful because he’s going to have to guard our opponent’s best guard,” Steele said.
Fox pinned his 98-pound opponent in the opening period and Cash won the heavyweight class by first period pin. Pat Thibodeau and Brian Hayden were the victorious sophomores. Thibodeau won the 105 pound class by second period pin and Hayden pinned his opponent at 145 pounds in the first period. THERE WERE NO decisions in the match. Jon Hendrich, Trent Thompson and Brian Johnston also won for South. South Putnam will host Greencastle in a 6:30 p.m. match Monday.
have what many personnel experts believed was the best group of young offensive players in the league. For that reason they should not be written off simply because of their record. In ending a 10-game losing streak against the Lions, 27-17, they used a well-balanced offense and Oliver Luck, who began the season as the third-string quarterback. INTERCONFERENCE Jets (4-7) at New Orleans Saints (6-5) the defensive pressure that the 49ers had last Sunday in defeating the Saints, 27-0, they have a chance to end their twogame losing streak. David Wilson, the quarterback, was sacked nine times and the Saints’ offense produced only 74 yards rushing and 55 yards passing. But if George Rogers gets started, the Saints could win a game that is important to their playoff chances. Kansas City Chiefs (5-6) at Dallas Cowboys (9-2) The Cowboys have two games in five days and need a victory against the Chiefs to keep pace with the Redskins. That would appear to be easy, based on the records. But the Chiefs played well last Sunday in defeating the Bengals, Who had won their three previous games.
