Eagles looking to run on Cadets

By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor If the homecoming queen is to have a happy reign Friday night, South Putnam must run, score and win against Cascade, according to coach Bob Gaddis. South Putnam’s 7:30 p.m. homecoming game tops a full schedule of Friday night high school football action for Putnam County teams. Greencastle takes a 2-1 record to 2-1 Monrovia, Cloverdale plays host to 1-2 Edinburg and North Putnam travels to 1-2 rival Southmont. “THIS IS GOING to be a big one,” Gaddis said of South’s fourth game. “When we looked at the first four games this season we had hopes of coming out of them 2-2 with a young team. It’ll be a good, close competitive ball game.” Cascade enters with a deceiving 1-2 record. The Cadets have put points on the scoreboard every game, winning their opener 33-0 over Cloverdale, dropping a narrow 24-20 contest to Hendrick County rival Danville and a surprising 25-6 loss to Zionsville last week. “Last year I’d say they were huge, this year, I’d just say they’re big,” Gaddis said of the Cadet lines. THAT DOESN’T SOUND good for South’s anemic running attack. “I think we’ve got to run the ball to win. We’re not going to run every down if we’re not successful at it, but we’ve got to get something going in our running game,” Gaddis said. South Putnam threw the ball 42 times and ran only 23 during last week’s loss to North Putnam and Gaddis would like to see that number more balanced. Through three games sophomore Rolland Vickrey has been South’s leading ball carrier with 85 yards in 27 carries. “The priority is to score points, not just to move the ball down field, get three first downs and stall,” Gaddis said. ALTHOUGH VICKREY IS the leading ball carrier he will see little action on offense, playing defensive tackle this week. Gaddis is finally going to put the backfield that he worked with most of the preseason practice together. Diced up by injuries before the first game Gary Hazlett will start at tailback and Dan Smetzer at fullback. South’s defense will also see the challenge of Cascade’s rare double-wing

Tiger Cubs beat Athenians

Winning all but one match, Greencastle scored a 4-1 victory over host Crawfordsville Wednesday afternoon in high school tennis action. The win, coupled with Tuesday’s 5-0 loss to Southmont, left Greencastle 2-3 going into Thursday’s match at North Montgomery. GREENCASTLE WON ALL three singles matches. Jon Williams, playing No. 1, defeated Tony Castello 6-1, 6-1 and Mike Wells, playing No. 2, defeated Jeff Stewart 6-1, 6-2. Mike Opdahl, playing No. 3, was a 6-3, 5-7 and 6-4 winner over Wade Fulford. Bob Lezotte and Tom Catanese, raised to the No. 1 doubles position for the match, lost 6-1, 6-2 to Mike

Colt QB honored by NFL

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Mike Pagel says he was “shocked” to learn he had been named the offensive player of the week in the American Football Conference of the National Football League. “I knew I was being considered for it,” the Indianapolis Colts quarterback said Wednesday. “But I thought to win that honor you had to have the kind of game (Miami quarterback) Dan Marino had the week before five touchdown passes. “I didn’t know they’d even consider someone who just threw for 215 yards,” said Pagel. Pagel, a third-year pro from Arizona State, won the honor after completing 15 of 20 passes for 215 yar-

Gastineau is convicted

NEW YORK (AP) New York Jets All-Pro defensive end Mark Gastineau has been convicted of misdemeanor assault, but teammate Ken O’Brien was acquitted of similar charges stemming from a brawl at the Studio 54 nightclub last year. Gastineau, 27, was convicted Wednesday of a single count of the three assault charges against him. He faces up to one year in jail and a SI,OOO fine, but prosecutor Jeffrey Schlanger said such a severe penalty was unlikely. Gastineau’s wife, Lisa, gasped as the verdict was read. Gastineau, standing before the jury, dropped his head

offense. It’s designed as a passing offense, but the Cadets run more from it. GREENCASTLE’S DEFENSE stopped North Knox with a negative 19 rushing yards in the second half last week, but coach John Fallis expects Monrovia’s tandem of Kurt Everett and Tim Selvia to be more difficult. “I think their blocking schemes will be better,” Fallis said of the Bulldog veteran offensive line. With Everett and Selvia capable of running behind that solid line for 100 or more yards a game each, it would appear Monrovia to be a ground oriented team. “It looks like with their personnel the run would be the thing they do best, but it looks like in past games they’ve been throwing it," Fallis said. Junior quarterback Daryl Clements has completed 30 of 64 passes for 319 yards and two touchdowns. CLOVERDALE PLAYS A 1-2 team capable of exploding for big yards and big points. Edinburg defeated the Deaf School, but lost to Milan and last week to Park Tudor 17-6. First-year Lancer coach Brian Ingles likes to run the football and with 5-9, 174 pound Troy Ridpath they have been moving it. Ridpath has 302 yards in the first three games, but the Lancers can throw it. Quarterback Ron Burton set numerous Johnson County records last year when Edinburg beat Cloverdale and is starting a third year. When the juinor puts the ball in the air brother Don Burton is usually his target, another name that should be familiar to the Clovers. He caught 11 passes for 208 yards and four touchdowns last year. NORTH PUTNAM COACH Bruce Lake was glad to see Southmont beat Seeger 14-0 last week for their first win. “It kind of takes the edge off of it,” Lake said of the Mounties wanting that first win. Southmont is down a notch or two from its traditional powerhouse level. The 1-2 Mounties have lost to Rockville and West Lafayette. They are more of a running than a passing team under interim coach David Williamson. Robert Turner carried the ball 17 times for 199 yards against Seeg jr and quarterback Kelley House threw just enough to keep the defense off-balance, completing four of five passes for 53 yards.

Heinhold and John Walker. But Ken Tew and Drew Brattain, dropped to No. 2 for the match, came out 6-4, 6-2 victors over Jeff Teague and Jamie Snyder. Greencastle will have to wait until sectional time for another shot at Southmont, a 5-0 winner at Robe-Ann Park. BRAD FRUITS DEFEATED Williams 6-0, 6-1, Nathan Poynter scored a 6-4, 6-3 win over Wells and Kevin Fruits was a 3-6, 7-5, 6-1 victor over Opdahl. Dan Walls and Kent Janke topped Tew and Brattain 6-3, 6-3 and Brent Bradley and Chris Cox topped Lezotte and Catanese 6-0,6-1.

ds and three touchdowns in the Colts’ 35-21 victory over the Houston Oilers Sunday. “I’m happy with the honor but that was just one game,” said Pagel “The important thing is that we, as a team, continue to play the way we did at Houston.” Colts Coach Frank Kush said Pagel deserved the award. “It’s a fine honor. He’s very deserving the way he played,” said Kush, whose team hosts the St. Louis Cardinals Sunday in the Hoosier Dome. “I hope this will build his confidence,” Kush said. “He still has to strive for consistency and to play at that level all the time.”

for an instant as his lawyer patted him on the back. O’Brien, a 23-year-old quarterback, was acquitted. “I think it’s a piece of exploitation,” O’Brien said of his teammate’s conviction. “He would never have been here if he wasn’t Mark Gastineau.” In a statement, the Jets said: “The club is very happy for Ken O’Brien and obviously very disappointed with the misdemeanor verdict against Mark Gastineau. We will support Mark in every future effort to prove his innocence, whatever that might entail.”

Mets' record-setting rookie is still learning

By MIKE CLARK AP Sports Writer On a night when Dwight Gooden was compared with the best pitchers in baseball, the New York Mets’ sensational teen-ager uttered a statement that should scare the dickens out of every hitter in the National League. “I think I’m learning how to pitch the hitters,” Gooden said, as if he has it in mind to improve. Few who watched Gooden’s 16-strikeout, five-hit, 2-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates Wednesday night could find fault

Greencastle wins first; at home on Thursday

EMINENCE-It took two West Central Conference losses to get the problems straightened out, but the Greencastle High School girls volleyball team played as one Wednesday night to defeat host Eminence 15-4,15-7 in a non-conference match. The now 1-2 Tiger Cubs host West Vigo Thursday night in a 6:30 p.m. home opener at McAnally Center. “LAST NIGHT THEY played together, they played with more confidence and used the offense to their advantage,” coach Trish Arthur said. “That was their objective last night whether they won or lost, was to play together and they won.” Melanie Murray and Laurie Lee led the Cubs with seven service points each.

Clovers are second to Patriots

CLOVERDALE-Ted Brock and Carlyle Shearer took first and second places Wednesday afternoon and that was the reason Owen Valley defeated host Cloverdale and North Putnam in a high school cross country meet. The Patriots scored 28 points, Cloverdale 30 and North Putnam 80. BROCK, WHO WON in 17:14, and Shearer, who was second in 17:30, were the difference because Cloverdale took the next three places and had four runners within a minute of each other. Greg Johnson was the first Clover to finish, coming in third with an 18:31 time, Karl Klein took fourth and Sonny Stoltz fifth. Darin Price finished seventh 44 seconds behind Johnson and Archer finished 11th in

with anything the 19-year-old right-hander did. Displaying a business-like manner throughout the evening, Gooden routinely sent Pirate batters strolling back to the bench with their bats in hand. When he made Marvell Wynne his 11th victim, he passed Herb Score’s majorleague record for most strikeouts by a rookie. Score set the mark of 245 when he broke in with the Cleveland Indians in 1955. Gooden now has 251. Gooden said he had grown up admiring strikeout artists Nolan Ryan and J.R.

Sheldon, Michelle Archer had three, Terri Mahoney three and Carol Braden, Tawnya Pierce, Jeri Smith and Sheri Swihart each lined one. Greencastle attempted 32 spikes for the night, 13 of them going for kills, while committing errors on 10. Sheldon led the Cubs with three kills while Murray, Mahoney and Archer each had two. THE TIGER CUBS also won the junior varsity match, though it did take three games, 15-9,14-16.15-9. Both the Greencastle varsity and junior varsity volleyball teams will play in the Putnam County Tournament Saturday at North Putnam High School.

Richard because he was often compared to them. “But I’m a little different than them,” he noted. “I try to use location and I also throw a change-up.” The only negative note was the news from Chicago Ryne Sandberg’s threerun home run had sparked the Cubs to an 11-5 victory over Montreal. That kept Chicago seven games ahead of New York in the Eastern Division title chase with only 16 games to play. Cubs 11, Expos 5 Sandberg’s three-run homer capped a

United Way wins big Some players might have been disappointed with their performance in the third annual United Way Golf Scramble Wednesday afternoon, but United Way couldn't be anything but overjoyed with the results. A record field raised a record SI,BOO at Windy Hill Country Club and pro Ken Atwell is already at work on ideas to improve next year’s tournament. THE TEAM OF Ron Terry, Wally Steele, Bob Hollum, Gary Coburn and Barb Sorochak won the 20-team tournament. Ray Greve, Betty Harmless, Harold Mason, Tim Conway and Jean Rossok made up the second place team and Bob Hutchings, Gerald Elliott, Evan Penturf, John Page and Tom Buis the third place team. AND ALTHOUGH HE didn’t equal his earlier feat of a hole-in-one, Fred Walters walked away with two prizes, swinging the longest drive on the second and seventh holes. John Henry was closest to the pin on the third hole and Will Hanson on the sixth.

Wrong witness Bob McCormick, not Bob Morrison, witnessed Bob Loring’s hole-in-one at Windy Hill Country Club, as published in Wednesday’s Banner-Graphic. McCormich was standing on the fifth green and watched as Loring’s sixiron shot, traveled the 130 yards from tee to green, hit about a yard short of the hole, then rolled into the cup.

five-run sixth inning that reduced Chicago’s magic number to 10. Any combination of Cub victories or Met losses totaling 10 will move Chicago into postseason play for the first time since 1945. Tim Stoddard, 10-5, pitched two innings for the victory. The loss went to Expos starter Bryn Smith, 11-12. Ron Cey singled leading off the sixth, moved to third on Jody Davis’ single and scored on Tom Veryzer’s groundout to tie the score 2-2. Bob Dernier later singled home the go-ahead run, and Sandberg followed with his 19th homer.
