Now Padres must play in Detroit
DETROIT (AP) The Detroit Tigers say they have the San Diego Padres right where they want them and the Padres would like the chance to drag the Tigers back to San Diego. “We’ll go back and get ’em in our ballpark,” Detroit right fielder Kirk Gibson said, looking forward to the next three games in Tiger Stadium, starting tonight. “It might go seven games; it might go five,” added Tigers catcher Lance Parrish. “Who cares? We’re going back to our park now and we’ve got a good ballclub. I still like our chances.” “Obviously they’re tough when they’re at home,” chipped in John Grubb, a former Padre. “Now we’ll see how they play at our ballpark.” For a while, at least one of the Tigers was beginning to believe it might go only the minimum four. Detroit won the opener 3-2 and before the Padres even came to bat in the second game, the Tigers led 3-0. “We were naturally thinking ‘sweep,’ said Darrell Evans, Detroit’s cornerman (first b?se on Tuesday night, third base on

DePauw going for final victory over Engineers
By STEVE FIELDS - Banner-Graphic Sports Editor DePauw University holds a commanding 25-9-1 lead in the football series with Rose-Hulman, winning the last five games and even half of the contests during the down years of the mid-70’s. In fact, the last time the Engineers beat the Tigers was 1978 by a 20-18 margin. And Saturday’s game in Terre Haute would appear to be no different from past meetings between the two strong academic schools. Rose-Hulman stands 2-2 and DePauw 3-2. HOWEVER, SATURDAY’S 1:30 p.m. game takes on a couple of unusual twists even before the teams walk on to Phil Brown Field. This is the final football game between the two schools as RoseHulman has chosen not to continue the gridiron relationship and secondly, it’s homecoming for the Engineers. “They have always played well against us, with the exception of 1982,” DePauw coach Nich Mourouzis said of Rose. Yes, the scores have been more lopsided than the games themselves. DePauw defeated Rose 28-7 last year in a less than perfect performance, put on an awesome offensive performance 38-6 in the 1982 contest and was a 17-7 victor in 1981. The Tigers escaped with a 7-3 win in 1980. BUT AT THIS point the two teams appear to be taking different routes. Although only 2-2, the Engineers have won their last two games, defeating Principia 21-6 last week and Earlham 6-0 the week before. They lost 14-13 to Taylor University and 27-0 to undefeated NAIA power Hanover College. “Rose has done well defensively the last two weeks,” Mourouzis said, pointing out the Engineers have allowed only six points in their last two games. In fact, outside of the 27 scored by Hanover behind an outstanding offensive line performance, the Rose defense has been very effective. DePauw, on the other hand, enters the game looking for consistency as well as victory. After leading last week’s game at Denison 20-7 the Tigers were defeated 2120, surrendering a season-high 220 rushing yards to the single-wing offense even though the nation’s No. 1 ball carrier, Chuck Spriggs, was sidelined with an injury. “IN DENISON’S CASE you have to give credit to the type of offense they run,” Mourouzis said of playing against the rare

Wednesday night). The Padres rallied on Kurt Bevacqua’ three-run homer in the fifth inning to win 5-3 and tie the Series at one victory apiece. “They came back and won it with some of the best relief pitching I’ve ever seen,” Evans said. Tonight, Tim Lollar (11-13, a 3.91 earnedrun average and only three complete games among 31 starts) goes for the Padres. Dick Williams, the San Diego manager, was asked if he was concerned that the

single-wing. “No. 2, we could change some things structurally if we played them again and some of our performances were under par.” The Tigers made errors everywhere last week, including six in the kicking game, one of the most consistent areas going into the fifth contest. “I think anytime you have a bad game it’s natural for you to want to respond with a good performance,” Mourouzis said. That’s exactly what happened in 1982 when the Tigers ripped Rose 38-6. That year Hope College pounded DePauw 48-7 the week before. “This will be our toughest challenge to date,” Rose coach Bob Thompson said. “They are sound at all positions, and they play with great discipline. They also are one of the strongest and most physical teams we face this year.” DESPITE DENISON’S success at running the football, look for Rose to try and throw more often. The Tiger defense was ranked fourth in the nation against the run, 41 yards per game through four games, and through five games has given up an average of 255 passing yards a contest. “Last week our passing performance from Duncan Gilmore and Larry Greene was the finest passing game we’ve had in some time,” Thompson said. Gilmore, a Rockville High School graduate, has completed 52 per cent of his passes for 166 yards. Greene has completed just 43 per cent of his passes. Neither, however, has thrown a touchdown pass. OFFENSIVELY FOR THE Tigers, quarterback Tony deNicola and flanker Tim Weaver pace the No. 2 passing offense in Division 111 football. Through four games the Tigers compiled a nation
Pacers defeat San Antonio
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Tony Brown scored 20 points and Herb Williams added 17 to lead Indiana’s Pacers to a 112-103 National Basketball Association exhibition victory over the San Antonio Spurs at Ohio State University. The victory Thursday night was the Pacers’ first in three preseason contests. Indiana had six players in double figures. Steve Stipanovich had 14 points and led both teams in rebounds with 16. Vern Fleming scored 13, Butch Carter 11
lack of effective starters might ultimately catch up with the Padres particularly with the bullpen. “I have to be,” he said. “Then again, we only have a maximum of five games left, with two off-days.” A five-game Series would end matters Sunday night. “Our main concern right now is just taking it one game at a time,” said Tony Gwynn, the Padres’ right fielder and National League batting champion. “But we’d like to get the Series back to San
leading 1,222 passing yards with 93 completed passes in 160 attempts for 58.1 per cent completions. Weaver, only a junior, is ranked eighth in the nation in receiving and through five games has caught 29 passes for 372 yards and five touchdowns. He is just three touchdown passes shy of tying Fran Lolli’s DePauw career touchdown pass reception record. DeNicola is ranked in two categories through four games. The junior righthander had completed 59.7 per cent of his passes for 981 yards and six touchdowns going into Denison. His yards were also good enough to make him ninth in the country in total offense. AND AFTER LAST week’s game Rose will also be concerned with the DePauw ground attack. Fullback Rich Bonaccorsi ran for 106 yards at Denison and tailback Marv Flewellen 64, in addition to catching four passes for 25 yards. “Many parts of their game are ranked nationally and that adds up to the fact that DePauw is very stingy defensive team and a very explosive offensive team. It presents a real challenge to us to put some points on the board,” coach Thompson said. Although the Tiger defense allows only 41 yards a game rushing, they haven’t been as successful against the pass making secondary injuries even more critical against the passing Engineers. DePAUW WILL PLAY without starters Eric Rawe and Rich Was in the secondary and linebacker Tom Honeywell will miss this game and the next two after surgery on his hand. Senior Tom Clark will slip into the strong cornerback spot for Was, while Todd Poole will once again be at weak-side cornerback. Kermit Moore, a Terre Haute North product, will start for Honeywell.
and Leroy Combs 10. George Gervin with 23 points, John Paxson with 20 and Mike Mitchell with 13 were the only double-figure scorers for San Antonio. Indiana took the lead for good when a basket by Jerry Sichting put the Pacers ahead 13-12 with 6:37 left in the first period. Indiana stretched the lead to 38-20 after one period and 63-42 at halftime before San Antonio cut the margin in the second half.
Diego. That’s our overall goal.” Gwynn will be in right again when the Padres take the field tonight which pleases him greatly. There had been some speculation, fueled by Williams, that he might shift Gwynn (batting .400 in two games) to center field, install Bevacqua (.571), the designated hitter in the first two games, in right field, bench center fielder Bobby Brown (.000), and turn the DH job over to former Tiger Champ Summers, a left-handed batter who could shoot for Tiger Stadium’s short right-field fence. “I promise you that Kurt’s bat will be in the lineup and maybe his glove,” Williams said when asked whether he contemplated any major changes for tonight’s game against Milt Wilcox (17-8, a 4.00 ERA and no complete games in 33 starts during the year). Williams also said he’d never thought seriously about allowing Lollar, a .221 hitter with three home runs during the season, to bat for himself, although he’d floated that rumor before the Series.
Sharks win two meets Hurricane Josephine is reportedly off the coast of the United States. North Montgomery may believe it was in their swimming pool Thursday night. Breaking three school records, the Greencastle High School girls swimming team easily defeated host North Montgomery 107-65 with “the best overall performance for us this year,” according to coach Paul Bretscher. THURSDAY’S VICTORY, PLUS Wednesday’s warmup 111-38 cruise over West Vigo, improves Greencastle’s record to 91. The Tiger Sharks should find a challenge Monday when they travel to Terre Haute South. Their next home meet is Oct. 18 against South Vermillion. Carrie Nealon set two more school records and swam on a record-setting relay and most Tiger Sharks turned in their best times of the year at North Montgomery. Nealon won the 200-freestyle in a recordsetting 2:02.36, breaking Leah Schoenfeld’s 2:05.75 record set last October. Only a freshman, Nealon then clocked a 5:26.64 to obliterate her own school record of 5:31.21 set at Plainfield in the third meet of the season. The time also falls in line with what coach Bretscher believes Nealon needs to score at the IHSAA state meet Nov. 17 at the IU Natatorium in Indianapolis. ALSO, KRISTI GOULD, Cristina Opdahl, Schoenfeld and Nealon teamed up to swim a 4:02.73 record time in the 400freestyle relay. The time smashed the old record of 4:07.91 set against Crawfordsville just Sept. 25. Opdahl led a Greencastle sweep in the 100-yard backstroke, followed by teammates Erika Greenawald and Lori Combs and Jodi Gould led the breaststroke sweep in 1:18.30, followed by teammates Amanda Myers and Dina Duncan. MYERS AND COMBS finished first and second, respectively, in the 50-yard freestyle, while Nealon led one-two finishes in the 200-yard freestyle and 500yard freestyle. Jennie Ferriss, swimming her best times of the year by five and 12 seconds, finished second in both the 200yard freestyle and 500-yard freestyle. While the divers were shut out of the top three at North Montgomery, they turned in some of their best scores without being challenged Wednesday night at West Vigo. Jodi Billman won the competition with a 171.60. Nealon set Greencastle record in this meet also. She swam the 200-yard individual medley (IM) in 2:25.65 to break her own school record of 2:25.91 set against Plainfield. She also became the second alltime fastest 100-yard freestyler at Greencastle High School with a 57.11 second time. COACH BRETSCHER NOTED Myers turned in her best times while winning the 200 and 500-yard freestyle events. Myers clocked a 2:21.70 in the 200 and a 6:23.60 in the 500.

Soccer down to two games
Gradually offense is taking over in the Putnam County Youth Soccer League. With only two Saturdays of play remaining only five of the league’s 16 teams did not score last week and two of those finished in a scoreless tie. Defense still seems to be the dominant factor in the under-12 division. Matt Moore and Quin Mesler each scored a goal to give the Comets a 2-0 win over the Blazers and the Argonauts and Kickers played to a scoreless finish. THE TWISTERS SCORED the biggest victory of the week, a 5-0 verdict over the Rockets in the under-16 division. Hugh Martin scored three goals and Max Pipes two for the Twisters. The Strikers edged the Rowdies in the other under-16 game.
