Under-12 Division only big change
Now there are only three undeated teams in the Putnam County Youth Soccer League. Final games of the regular season brought little change in division standings, but there was some juggling, especially in the Un-der-12 Division. The Comets won the Under-12 Division with a 5-0-1 record, but the Blazers moved ahead of the Kickers and the Argonauts tied up the Demons. JOE PETERSON, Jim Albin and Barbara Asam scored one goal each as the Blazers beat the Kickers 3-1. Ryan Wells scored for the Kickers. Ty Woods scored on a penalty shot 4:56 into the second half to give the Argonauts their first win of the year, 1-0, over the Demons. The only difference between the
Indiana trying to bounce back
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) - The Indiana Hoosiers, shocked back to reality by Ohio State, attempt to break the wishbone of Minnesota in their quest for respectability in the Big Ten Conference football race Saturday. Indiana got off to its best start since 1967 by winning its first four games. But Indiana fell to 4-1 overall and 1-1 in the conference when it was pounded 48-7 by Ohio State last Saturday. Minnesota brings a 4-1 record and a 2-0 Big Ten mark to Memorial Stadium. “Pride is something that I feel very strongly we have,” said Indiana Coach Bill Mallory. It’s (the Big Ten) going to be a league of getting bumped off and rebounding back. I expect us to come battling back.” The Gophers of Lou Holtz have defeated Wichita State, Montana, Purdue and Northwestern while losing only to third-rated Oklahoma 10-7. “Minnesota is a good football team on both sides of the ball. I think a lot of their success has been a result of their defense,” said Mallory. “It’s been a darn good defense.” “We’re not a great football team but we’re hanging in there,” said Holtz, who
are (front row, from left): John Spencer, Jamie Harris, Rob Costin, Danny Smetzer and (second row, from left) Kent Vocom, John Bridgewater, Tony Lewis, Darrin Lewis and (back row, from
In addition to North Vermillion, Greencastle, South Putnam, North Putnam and Cloverdale, also participating will be Cascade, Crawfordsville, Fountain Central, Monrovia, Mooresville, Rockville, Southmont and Turkey Run. The first five teams and top 10 individuals advance to the Terre Haute regional, sponsored by West Vigo High School at Rea Park Oct. 26.
Breakers and Tornadoes in the Under--10 Division is a Justin Barker goal. The Breakers edged the Tornadoes 1-0 to finish with a 5-0-1 record, as the game snapped a tie between the two in division standings. THE FLYERS AND Racers played a scoreless tie in the other Under-10 game. The Racers finished up third and the Flyers fourth in the division. The Cyclones finished 5-0-1 and there wasn’t a bit of change in the standings from last week. The Cyclones got two goals from Ryan Woods and one from Kate Murray in a 3-1 win over the Destroyers. Craig Reed scored for the 3-2-1 Destroyers. The Cosmos blanked the Tremors 20, Peter Pearson scoring the deciding goals.
has seen his club average 32.6 points and 408 yards per game. Sophomore Rickey Foggie is guiding the explosive offense and Mallory needs no introduction to the 6-foot-l, 185-pound sophomore. Foggie ran for 73 yards, while passing for 165 and two touchdowns as the Gophers outscored Indiana 33-24 last year. “Any time you face the wishbone the quarterback is the key,” said Mallory of the offense used by the Gophers. “Foggie can really run the ball and they’ve had great success throwing.” Coordination is the key to defensing the wishbone, Mallory says. “Your defense has to be well coordinated. You have to have people assigned to the fullback, the quarterback, the pitch man. You can’t get lulled to sleep on the pass or they’ll kill you,” he explained. “You really have to have to have good discipline.” Mallory was also concerned with the physical condition of Indiana quarterback Steve Bradley as he prepared for Saturday’s 11:38a.m., EST, kickoff. Bradley left the Ohio State game in the first half complaining of dizziness. “It’s been ruled a concussion,” Mallory said earlier this week, adding that he an-
Bruce remembers last year too well
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Ohio State Coach Earle Bruce says he has vivid memories of last year when his team played Purdue and came away with a bitter 28-23 defeat. He says he remembers opting for a field goal attempt on 4th-and-l at the Purdue 2yard line, then missing the field goal He says he remembers wide receiver Cris Carter being thrown out of the game for unnecessary roughness, a charge that was later reviewed and revoked in an official apology from the Big Ten office. He says he remembers Ohio State quarterback Mike Tomczak winging a pass out of bounds to stop the clock, only to discover that it was fourth down and the Buckeyes had thrown away their last chance at a victory. But then Bruce’s eyes glaze and he adds, “And I remember those gold flags waving and waving and waving...” Those gold flags actually towels were a Purdue promotion to involve the crowd in the game with the then thirdranked Buckeyes. Bruce says of his team’s Saturday encounter with Purdue at Ohio Stadium, “We’re going to have a lot of scarlet towels and we’re going to wave them high and long.” Purdue enters the 12:12 p.m.EDT nationally televised contest with a 3-2 record, while Ohio State is 4-1. Both clubs have 1-1 logs in the Big Ten. For most of the 89,000-plus fans expected, the focal points figure to be the Boilermaker wearing No. 11 and the
ticipated Bradley would play. “We’ll just have to wait and see. When you’re talking about the head, you’re talking about something pretty serious, and no way would we push him in there if there’s any question by our doctors. ’ ’ Minnesota leads the series 28-15-3 but they haven’t won here since 1968. “Indiana is a fine team with a lot of talent,” Holtz said. “Bradley may be the best quarterback in the Big Ten. (Bobby) Howard and (Damon) Sweazy are excellent runners.” Bradley has dropped to 13th in the nation in total offense after missing the second half last week. He’s averaging 246.2 yards per game, completing 84 of 145 passes for 1,081 yards and nine touchdowns. Howard leads Indiana in rushing with 352 yards and a 5.4 yards per carry average. Bradley’s top targets are split end Kenny Allen, who is seventh in the nation in receiving, and tight end Dave Lilja, who is tenth. Allen is averaging 6.4 catches per game, good for 543 yards and two touchdowns. Lilja is averaging six catches per outing and has 354 yards on receptions. Foggie leads Minnesota in yards rushing with 309 and has gained 817 passing.

Buckeye sporting No. 41. Purdue quarterback Jim Everett has completed 136 of 220 passes this season for 1.843 yards and 15 TDs. He leads the nation in total offense with an average of 362 yards per game, and is sixth in the country in passing efficiency. A year ago, Everett shredded the Ohio State secondary by completing 17 of 23 passes for 257 yards and three scores. “He’s got a great delivery. He throws the ball with a lot of velocity,” says Bruce. The other focal point will be Ohio State tailback Keith Byars, who has missed the Buckeyes’ five games with a broken bone in his foot. He has been working out with the team for the past two weeks and figures to see his first action of the season against Purdue. “I know what’s going to happen,” says Boilermaker Coach Leon Burtnett. “Just the sight of Keith Byars running into the huddle is going to incite that crowd into an uproar. And Earle Bruce knows that, too.” For his part, Bruce smiles and says, “I don’t know if there will be any drama (when Byars comes on the field). I don’t know even know if he’ll be ready. But he is looking good. He’s coming along really well.” The only drama Bruce promises is a stadium-full of scarlet flags. But Burtnett, kidding Bruce during a telephone conference call earlier in the week, laughed, “You’d better have a white one, too, just for you, Earle.”

Bears could use No. 20 ranking against Tigers
By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor It would appear DePauw University is an overwhelming favorite In Saturday night’s college football game in St. Louis. That makes an upset even more possible. The Tigers take a No. 20 NCAA Division 111 national ranking and 5-1 record into the 7 p.m. game at Washington University. The game can be heard on WGRE radio at 6:30p.m. THE ADDITIONAL PRESSURE of a national ranking came late this week. Defending national champion is ranked No. 1 with its 5-0 record and Central lowa is No. 2. Unbeaten Denison is No. 9 and 5-1 Dayton No. 18. While happy to receive the recognition, coach Nick Mourouzis passed it off. “It’s nice to be recognized, but I don’t place that much emphasis on it at this time of the year,” Mourouzis said Friday morning before leaving for St. Louis. “The most important ranking is at the end of the year.” Everything apppears to be in Washington University’s favor, a kind of, everything to gain and nothing to lose. The Battling Bears have scored just six points in the last three games against the Tigers and haven’t won since 1964. COACH MOUROUZIS AND his counterpart, Fred Remmy, go back a long way together. They were coaching staffs together at Ohio University in 1963 and 1964 and agains at Northwestern in 1977 and 1978. In fact, Washington University’s secondary coach, Steve Bright, played under Mourouzis at Northwestern. Despite scores of previous games coach Remmy has gradually rebuilt the Washington program. Although 55 lettermen return from a team that lost 42-0 at Blackstock Stadium last year, the program appears to be behind DePauw’s, as evidenced by last Saturday’s 27-7 loss at Wabash College. However, Remmy is establishing some tradition at the school, as records will be on the line Saturday night. Washington quarterback Steve Sides needs just one touchdown pass to become the all-time leader. Sides has connected on 47 out of 117 attempts in five games for 689 yards and four touchdowns. WHEN SIDES PUTS the ball up Lenny Agostino and Cornell Foggie appear to be his two most effective receivers. Agostino has caught nine passes for 235 yards and
Pole special for Labonte
ROCKINGHAM, N.C. (AP) - It’s been a long, difficult season for Terry Labonte. That’s why winning the pole for Sunday’s Nationwise 500 was like a light at the end of the tunnel. Labonte, driving a Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS, turned in a fast lap of 141.841 mph Thursday, a far cry from Harry Gant’s track qualifying record of 145.084, set in March of 1984 at North Carolina Motor Speedway. “It’s a good feeling to win the pole, and I think the team needed a lift,” said Labonte, the defending Winston Cup champion who has fallen far off the pace this season. “I really feel like, we have a decent chance to get another victory in these last three races.” Labonte, who has won only once this season at Riverside, Calif., in June now has three pole victories, two of which came over this 1.017-mile, high-banked oval. The native of Corpus Christi, Texas, has struggled most of the season, the most

Foggie six for 121. Tom Polacek leads Washington’s ground game, the 6-1, 200-pound sophomore averaging 4.7 yards per carry with 235 this season. However, when in four-down territory freshman Chris Cerrato has been the most effective at getting into the end zone, the 5-9, 165-pounder doing it three times. This will be DePauw’s first game under the lights in two years, the last being on the same field. “That would be a factor, but most of the young men have played undey the lights and we have played well under the lights in previous years,” Mourouzijs said. The Tigers will practice in St. Loufc Friday night. RECEIVERS TOM EVANS, Doug Pem}. Chuck Sadler and Jim Dunmyer have the biggest adjustment. They’ll be catching Tony de Nicola’s passes under the lights for the first time and the passing game could be critical. With fullback Gino Gianotti and tailback Bart Denning possibly out for the year. Mourouzis will start senior Pete Eshlemah at fullback and freshman Mark McAuliffe at tailback. While Eshleman opened the season at fullback this is McAuliffe’s first start at tailback. In addition to missing Gianotti and Denning, the Tigers will also be without starting center Kevin Hollahan (injured hancf) and defensive back Jon Porman. Briah Whitney, a 6-2, 253-pound senior, will start at center, while the secondary just traded starters, Steve Battreall returns to replacfc Porman, the guy who replaced him during the 35-0 route a t Kenyon. s
recent blow a decision by team manager Dale Inman to leave and rejoin the team headed by his cousin, Richard Petty. “I hated having Dale leave,” Labonte said. “I learned a lot from him and he isa real pro. But we have to pick up and go on. Another win or two now would do the whole team a lot of good going into next season. ” Labonte was one of the last of 43 drivers who made qualifying attempts Thursday over the hot, slick track. Lake Speed was a surprising second in a Pontiac Grand Prix. His fast lap was 141.792 mph. The top 20 qualifiers locked in spots for the 500-mile race, but 20 more positions were up for grabs today when time trials continue. Others qualifying near the top Thursday included Tommy Ellis, at 141.386 mph in a car his team bought from Labonte’s team several weeks ago; Greg Sacks at 141.157 mph in a Buick Regal, and Cale borough at 140.750 mph in a Ford Thunderbird.
