DePauw University's defense surrounded him on nearly every play, but Bill Kaiser somehow found yardage that wasn't there. The Wabash College tailback had DePauw's Scott Stetson (76) at his feet, Steve Battreal (23) closing in for a hit and two other Tigers reaching in
Number of undefeated teams dwindling
By The Associated Press Eight unbeaten teams, including the topranked teams in Classes SA. 4A, 2A and A, head the field of 40 sectional champions going into this week’s regional round of the 1985 Indiana high school football playoffs. The final sectional champion was crowned on Saturday, when N0.2-ranked Eastern Hancock stopped previously unbeaten N 0.3 Indianapolis Park-Tudor 34-7 for the Class A Sectional 39 title. All other sectionals were completed Friday night. At Park-Tudor, junior quarterback Kyle Barrentine passed for three touchdown passes in the first 12 minutes to lead Eastern Hancock’s victory. “It went off just the way we planned it,” said Royals Coach Bob Copeland. “We felt they were really suspect on pass defense. The pass was always there.”
Paterno not so quick to claim No. 1 spot
By The Associated Press You wouldn’t expect a former Ivy Leaguer to say something like, “It ain’t over until it’s over.” So with his Penn State team likely to become No. 1 in this week’s Associated Press college football poll, Joe Paterno (Brown ’SO) put it this way: “Nobody’s anything until the season’s over. That’s exactly how I feel about it.” Florida’s season still has two games to go, but the No. l-ranked Gators’ dream of winning the national championship while on probation was rudely smashed by No. 17 Georgia, which used touchdown runs of 76 and 32 yards by freshman Keith Henderson to build a 17-3 halftime lead en route to a 24-3 triumph, Oklahoma, Auburn and lowa all preceded the Gators at the top of the poll this season. Meanwhile, Penn State, No. 2 last week, remained undefeated and untied (9-0) by overcoming Cincinnati 31-10. The Nittany Lions trailed 10-7 until John Shaffer, who threw a three-yard pass to Bob Williams for Penn State’s first touchdown, plunged across from a yard out with just three seconds left in the first half. It was all downhill after that as Massimo Manca kicked a 17-yard field goal and D.J. Dozier and Matt Knizner contributed short touchdown runs. “If we’re No. 1 or wherever, there are still two (regular-season) games for us to play,” Shaffer said. “It’s important where
Fourth place beats third place in this race
MIAMI (AP) day. Roger Penske’s racing team, not a dominant factor in the CART-PPG Indycar series most of this season, showed its metal in the season-ending Beatrice Indy Challenge at Tamiami Park. Danny Sullivan ran off in the late stages of the 200-mile race to an easy victory and teammate A 1 Unser came through with a fourth-place finish which, combined with his son’s third-place finish, was exactly enough to win Unser Sr. the $300,000 season
trying to get the football. That was the case 57 times in the 92nd annual Monon Bell Game and Kaiser hung on each time for 211 yards. (Banner-Graphic photo by Steve Fish).

Sullivan, whose only other victory this season was in the Indianapolis 500 in May, won the inaugural Miami Indy-car race because he drove a smart race, waiting for the people ahead of him to make mistakes and taking advantage of what a sharp pit crew gave him.

So, Walker and crew chief Chuck Sprague instructed Sullivan to take it easy, particularly when the car had a full fuel load. When Bobby Rahal, who dominated the first 78 laps of the 112-lap event, began having handling problems, it turned out to be because of blistering tires. He wound up finishing second, a distant 16.8 seconds behind Sullivan. The senior Unser at age 46 became the
Tigers too flat to stop Kaiser and Bevelhimer
By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor What happened to the DePauw University football team Saturday? You know, the one averaging 30 points a game and allowing just 12 per game? The same Tigers that beat Dayton the week before, totaled eight victories, were ranked 13th in NCAA Division 111 and were in position to make the playoffs got beat. WABASH COLLEGE NOT only beat DePauw 28-8 at Blackstock Stadium to keep the Monon Bell and take a 43-41-8 lead in the series, but completely dominated the game with running back Bill Kaiser, kicker Joe Bevelhimer and an outstanding defense. The Little Giants took a 25-0 fourth quarter lead before 5,300 fans and a national television audience. Using the Dayton games as a comparison many didn’t believe this would be much of a game. The theory being DePauw’s offense was too potent for Wabash’s defense and the Little Giants couldn’t move the ball on the ground against the Tiger defense. “There was a lot of people that folded up their tents and said ‘we don’t have a prayer. We can’t beat that team,” Wabash coach Greg Carlson said after his second straight Monon Bell victory “The kids never believed that at all. So this takes a big monkey off our back.” WABASH SIMPLY NICKEL and dimed DePauw’s defense to death, while the offense never got on track. “We just couldn’t get anything going today,” DePauw coach Nick Mourouzis said “I don’t know what it was. The kids seemed to be ready, but we just were not very sharp You’ve got things on both sides. You can’t think about Dayton, that’s over with, and you can’t think about the playoffs and that’s what happens.” DePauw’s defense couldn’t have been ready for the simplest of Wabash offenses Kaiser left, Kaiser right, Kaiser up the middle, Kaiser 57 times for 211 yards, 16 straight plays at one point. "WHEN THERE WASN’T yardage there,” DePauw defensive coordinator Ed Meyer said of Kaiser’s gains. “He just picked his way and picked his way.” He picked his way behind a strong offensive line performance to get Wabash in position for five Bevelhimer field goals. The senior place kicker split the uprights from 50, 49, 44 and twice from 36 yards out, accounting for 15 of the Little Giants’ 28 points. “He’s kicked for us since the day he walked on campus. He’s been real good, but inconsistent every now and then. But whenever that kid had to kick a pressure field goal, in four years he’s never let Wabash down and today was a great climax to his career,” Carlson said of the record setting performance. “HE TOLD ME with the wind, he said ‘coach, I’m good to 55 (yards),”’ the coach
Florida to three points,” Georgia Coach Vince Dooley said. “All we wanted was for our defense to minimize Florida’s big-play capability.” Nebraska 49, lowa State 0 Doug Dußose and Tom Rathman rushed for 114 and 97 yards, respectively Nebraska had 538 overall including a three-yard touchdown by Dußose and a 32yarder by Rathman. Dußose became the 10th Nebraska player to rush for 2,000 career yards as the Cornhuskers remained just ahead of Oklahoma in the Big Eight, 5-0 to 4-0. Air Force 45, Army 7 Weiss led the Falcons to a 501-yard explosion and the biggest rout in the service academy series. His 64-yard bomb to a wide-open Carpenter made it 14-0 at halftime and he ran 56 yards and one y rd for a pair of third-quarter scores. Air Force is the only 10-0 team in the country (Penn State and idle Bowling Green are 9-0) and the Falcons’ 13-game winning streak is the nation’s longest. lowa 59, Illinois 0 Long was 22-of-30 for 289 yards. His TD passes covered 49 and 43 yards to Robert Smith, one yard to Mike Flagg and eight to Scott Helverson and gave him Big Ten records of 25 for the season and 72 for his career. Illinois’ Jack Trudeau was intercepted four times after setting an NCAA mark of 215 passes without having one Dicked off.
oldest man ever to win the Indy-car championship, while keeping his 23-year-old son from becoming the youngest to do it. There were several crashes on the demanding new 1.784-mile, nine-turn circuit, but no injuries were reported. One of those accidents, coming on the first turn of the first lap, eliminated Mario Andretti, Emerson Fittipaldi of Brazil and Roberto Guerrero of Colombia. The incidents throughout the race also kept Sullivan’s average speed down to 95.915 mph.

related. The wind was a factor Saturday and Wabash played it right. Upon winning the opening coin toss, the Little Giants elected to kick off, forcing the Tigers to battle the win in the opening quarter. “I really felt like with our defense and our young offense, we crossed our fingers and said, ‘all right, let’s hope we can hold DePauw on the first series and make them punt and now we’re playing on their half of the football field,’ and that’s what happened,” Carlson said. THE OPENING SERIES ended though with a Brent Scheib interception and Wabash took possession on the DePauw 34 yard line. Three plays later Bevelhimer kicked a 44-yard field goal. He booted a 49yard before the first quarter was out and DePauw trailed 64) when the second period started. quarter with the wind to our backs and we did not perform to our potential. We were just not up,” Mourouzis said. Wabash’s defense never allowed DePauw to establish any kind of rhythm even when in possession. Carl Hampton, Mike Haugh and Mike Worthington pressured de Nicola into throwing two interceptions and sacked him five times. “WE JUST SIMPLY got a pass rush with a minimum amount of people, that was the key to me defensively,” Carlson said of dropping six and seven players into the secondary. Quarterback Tom Vandergriff threw an eight-yard touchdown pass to Tim Maguire in the second quarter and Kaiser scored from the two, giving Wabash its only touchdowns of the day and a 19-0 halftime lead. But the first time Wabash got possession in the second half the margin grew to 22-0. The Tigers forced a punt, but fumbled the return and Tim Metzinger recovered at the DePauw 37, which set up Bevelhimer’s 50yard field goal. “WE LOOKED LIKE we were bending. Instead of attacking it looked like we were catching there. They did a real good job the second half, the defense did,” Mourouzis said, “and we just didn’t move the ball. We were flat, but, at the same time, they did a good job defensively against us.” With Kaiser nickel and diming the defen-

Champions are traditional
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Valparaiso’s boys have captured their second championship in three years and Carmel’s girls have taken their third victory in five years in the Indiana High School Athletic Association cross country meets. Carol Gray, valedictorian of New Prairie High School, won the mental attitude award and her second straight individual championship in two years, running 4,000 meters in 13:52.3 during Saturday’s meet at South Grove Golf Course.
White Sox start earlier
CHICAGO (AP) Chicago White Sox fans will get home earlier from night games and see more weekend fireworks but they also be paying $1 more for Comiskey Park tickets next season. Most Monday through Friday games will begin at 7 p.m. in 1986, rather than at 7:30, said Sox spokesman Tim Clodjeaux. “We want to get folks home earlier on week nights,” Clodjeaux said. The change also will give the club more visibility, making it more likely that White Sox games will end before morning newspaper deadlines and in time for results to be broadcast on 10 p.m. television news programs, he said.
se to death at a rate of 3.7 yards per carry, Bevelhimer was able to give the Little Giants a 25-0 lead. DePauw finally mounted a drive on its opening possession of the fourth quarter. Evans caught a 23-yard pass from de Nicola, and the quarterback scrambled for another 20 himself to put the Tigers at the Wabash 14. From there de Nicola found Evans again, this time for a touchdown. Bart Denning pulled in a pass for the twopoint conversion and Carlson was worried about the 25-8 margin. “IT WAS 4:57 AND the crowd singing ‘Na, na, na, goodbye’ and I’m saying ‘now wait a minute. DePauw’s a good football team,’” Carlson said. “So I was never really confident until Marty Kaiser intercepted the ball in the end zone, then I figured ‘l’m going to Kaiser, he’s my bread and butter.’” The interception came with 3:23 left in the game and Kaiser got the ball on nearly every down, as he did the entire game. Wabash had just 69 rushing attempts as a team, and Kaiser had 57 of those to break the school record of 47 he set last week. Kaiser’s performance also gave him the Wabash College single-season rushing record 1,465 yards. It broke Mike Henry’s 1969 of 1,379. DePAUW UNIVERSITY closed the season at 8-2. However, with Dayton and Baldwin-Wallace suffering their third and second losses, respectively, Saturday. The Tigers could still be in contention for a NCAA Division 111 playoff berth.

Both the girls and boys programs will be featured. This includes freshman, junior varsity and varsity games.
Last year’s girls’ runner-up, Marsha Grondizak of Indianapolis Ben Davis, came in second again this year, with a time of 14:18.9. Chesterton’s Brendan Smith won the boys 5,000-meter event in 15:25.6. Tim Cooper of North Newton was second in 15:32.5. Brian Crumbo of Floyd Central, who finished fourth with 15:37.7, won the boys mental attitude award. This was the fifth annual girls state cross country meet and the 40th annual boys state cross country meet.
White Sox games frequently have stretched over three hours during the past few seasons, meaning results have missed early paper deadlines and news programs, Clodjeaux said. Saturday games will usually begin at 6 p.m., with fireworks shows after every Saturday home game, rather than just after selected games, he said. With the higher ticket prices, the most expensive individual game seat will be the $10.50 golden boxes, while general admission will be $4, he said. The team will open at home for the first time since 1982, when they play Milwaukee April 7 at 1:30 p.m., he said.
