Tigers at Hope
Coach Nick Mourouzis’ DePauw University football squad will attempt to increase their record to a perfect 2-0 as they travel to Holland, Mich. Saturday to face the Flying Dutchmen of Hope College. Hope entered the season ranked sixth nationally among NCAA Division 111 schools, according to a Sports Illustrated pre-season poll. The game can be heard on WGRE radio (92 FM) beginning with the pre-game show at 12:15 p.m. (EST). WINNING FOOTBALL GAMES in Holland Municipal Stadium is no easy task for visitng teams. Since moving into the stadium in 1979 the Dutchmen have compiled an impressive 17-4-1 record. The Tigers only win in Holland was a 10-7 victory in 1980. For the second week in a row the Tigers will have to contend with one of the top quarterbacks in Division 111 football. Last week it was John Rooney of Illinois Weslyan, this week the Tigers defense is set on stopping Hope senior Greg Heeres (pronounced Harris). Heeres ranked sixth last season in pass efficiency, completing 53.3 of his passes. He was 19th in Division 111 with 186 total offensive yards per game. “You don’t necessarily stop a quarterback like Heeres,” Mourouzis said, “but we must contain him.” MOUROUZIS WILL MAKE two line-up changes this week and both are on offense.

Struggling Patriots need victory over 2-0 Seahawks
By DAVE GOLDBERG AP Sports Writer The New England Patriots, who haven’t looked like the up-and-coming team they were billed as at the start of the National Football League season, open at home Sunday against a team that has the Seattle Seahawks. For the Patriots, trounced last week by Miami, the team it has to beat in the AFC East, it’s a key test. New England Coach Ron Meyer calls the 2-0 Seahawks “on a par, if not better,’’ than the Dolphins and linebacker Steve Nelson puts things in perspective: ‘This is a big game. We’ve got three tough games in a row with Seattle and Washington and Miami. We have to come out from that with a couple of victories.” The Patriots-Seahawks clash is one of 13 on Sunday. In other games, Atlanta is at Minnesota, Chicago at Green Bay, Cincinnati at the New York Jets, the Los Angeles Raiders at Kansas City, St. Louis at Indianapolis, Detroit at Tampa Bay, Houston at San Diego, the Los Angeles Rams at Pit-
Junior Tony deNicola will start at quarterback in place of Chip Jordan, and Doug Penn will be at the split end position instead of Tom Evans. Against Illinois Wesleyan, deNicola completed 15 of 25 passes for 177 yards and one touchdown. “Tony did an excellent job last Saturday and he will get the start against Hope,” Mourouzis added. “Jordan will also see playing time. ” Penn, a 6-1,170-pound sophomore will be called on for his first collegiate start. He grabbed three catches for 35 yards in the Tigers’ season opener. COACH RAY SMITH’S Flying Dutchmen return nine seniors as defense and eight on offense from last year’s squad that finished 6-3. Defensively, Hope will be led by four Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) all-leaguers in senior tackle Thurland Cole, junior end Steve Zeldenrust, senior linebacker Dave Morren and senior back Scott Jecmen. “Hope has an outstanding defensive unit and we will have to be ready”, Mourouzis stated. “To be successful we must be more consistent on offense and our line will have to continue to give us the kind of protection they did last week”. Saturday’s contest is labeled as community and spirt day at Hope College.

Behind Sheldon’s 12 service points was Sheri Swihart with seven, Terri Mahoney and five, Michelle Archer four, Laurie Lee three and Carol Braden, Melanie Murray and Jeri Smith each had two. GREENCASTLE ATTEMPTED only 37 spikes for the match, 14 going for kills, while committing 10 errors. Sheldon’s five spikes led the power game, but also sophomore Tawnya Pierce had four. West Vigo won the junior varsity match in two games. Scores were not available.
we did at Cascade the other night,” coach Becky Brothers praised. “We’ve still got a long way to go, but a lot better.” Lauri Sanders led South with five service points, followed by Wendy Ratcliff and Kim Sutton with four each and Wendy Swanson and Robin Russell with one each. THE EAGLES STILL didn’t get into their power game consistently enough, setting up only 10 spikes, and getting only four kills, two each from Sutton and Russell. However, South committed only two errors among those 10 attempts. Edgewood also won the junior varsity match 15-6,15-9.

tsburgh, New Orleans at San Francisco, the New York Giants at Washington, Philadelphia at Dallas, and Denver at Cleveland in a Sunday night game. Miami is at Buffalo Monday night. Seattle, which made the playoffs for the first time ever last season, has started off like it will repeat with ease. The Seahawks have beaten Cleveland 33-0 and San Diego 31-17 leaving them tied for second in points scored and first in fewest points allowed. They have also signed Franco Harris to replace the injured Curt Warner at running back and Harris, without any preseason, stepped right in and picked up 46 yards rushing last week. But, the Patriots, who have scored just seven points in the last six quarters after taking a 21-0 halftime lead in a 21-17 opening game win over Buffalo, are worried about their own offense. In last week’s 28-7 loss to Miami, there were five turnovers Steve Grogan was intercepted four times and the Patriots lost a fumble. “We’ve got to throw the ball a lot better than we’re doing now, and catch it.

2-1 Greencastle sinks Plainfield
PLAINFIELD-Carrie Nealon set two school records, but it was the performances of two 400-yard freestyle relay teams that gave Greencastle a surprising 88-84 victory over host Plainfield Thursday night in a high school girls swimming meet. Greencastle took first and third places in the final event to gain its only lead of the meet and hand Plainfield its first duel meet loss in three seasons. “THIS WAS THE most exciting meet I’ve seen in two or three years,” an excited coach Paul Bretscher said. “We were never ahead until the end.” Despite Nealon’s record performances in the 200-yard individual medley (IM) and 500-yard freestyle, Greencastle trailed 80-

More bad news for Colts
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - The Indianapolis Colts of the National Football League have lost first-round draft choice Leonard Coleman to the United States Football League. Coleman signed with the Memphis Showboats, club spokesman Bob Lowy announced Thursday. The 6-foot-2, 201-pound Coleman from Vanderbilt was the nation’s topranked cornerback at the start of last

We just aren’t executing completely.” The Cowboys, trying to regain their traditional form after a 28-7 beating by the Giants last Sunday, will have an old friend in Irving, Texas, to greet the Eagles Harold Carmichael, wearing the N 0.17 he wore as Philadelphia’s all-time leading reciever.

The first place team in relays receives eight points, the second four and third place two, meaning the Tiger Sharks needed first and one other place to win the meet outright. Plainfield could either win or tie with two places. Nealon, Jodi Gould, Cristina Opdahl and Leah Schoenfeld clocked a 4:10.07 first place time for eight points. Plainfield captured the four second place points, but the Greencastle foursome of Kristi Gould, Jodi Billman, Michelle Jones and Jennie Ferriss took third place for an outright Shark win. THE RECORD-SETTING Nealon was the only double-event winner for Greencastle. Nealon clocked a 2:25.91 time in the

The 34-year-old Carmichael, signed as a free agent after being cut by both the Eagles and the Jets is unlikely to play much because he’s still learning the the Dallas system. But his presence is symptomatic of one of the Cowboys’ problems depth at wide receiver following the retirement of Drew Pearson, the trade of Butch Johnson and an injury to Tony Hill. “It feels weird wearing their uniform but I can’t thank them enough for another

It was an exciting night for Billman also, as she won the diving competition for the first time this year, scoring 146.90.

Now, they come home to take on the Super Bowl champion Raiders, who have methodically put away Houston and Green Bay without showing very much. “Offensively, we haven’t played real well,” says Coach Tom Flores. “We’ve played well enough to win, but not well enough to progress to where we should be.” 3The Redskins, trying to become the first NFC team to go to the Super Bowl three straight years, will now try for another first becoming the first team to get there after losing their first two games. They hope to start against a Giants team that has been one of the NFL’s surprises with a 2-0 record after apparently finding an offense to got with their traditionally tough defense.
