Curse removed Indiana has been playing some good football lately

% BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) \9oody Hayes’ legendary curse on Indiana’s football team is history, brpken not by the former Ohio State Coach’s death but by the progress the phce-struggling Hoosiers’ program has made, Coach Bill Mallory says. . “I think people are going to start realizing Indiana is playing some football,” says Mallory. “We’ve Skjck together and worked hard and Coflne through a lot of adversity.” • Until last Saturday, when the Hdosiers beat Ohio State 31-10 at Columbus, no Indiana team had beaten the Buckeyes in football since 1951. Hayes, in his first season at Ohio State, reportedly was so angry that he vowed it would never happen again. And until Saturday, in the two schools’ first meeting since Hayes’ death earlier this year, it never did. There was one tie, in 1959, but the Buckeyes won each of the other 30 games they played, the longest current streak of domination by one major team over another in the country. Mallory, a former assistant at Ohio State under Hayes and a longtime friend, was a 16-year-old high school junior from Sandusky and was attending his first college game on that long-ago day in 1951 when the Hoosiers last beat the Buckeyes. Even the score, 32-10 in 1951, was similar. “I have a tremendous amount of feel for Woody and what he did for me and my family,” said Mallory. “To come back and win here (in Columbus) has to be a very satisfying feeling.” The victory undoubtedly was the biggest for Mallory in his four seasons as Indiana coach and perhaps one of the biggest ever for a football program long overshadowed by an immensely successful basketball tradition. Losing football, however, it seemed, was an almost accepted fact of life at Indiana, which has had only five winning seasons in the past 40 years and started its second century of intercollegiate competition this year with a total of 337 victories. Only one Indiana coach in the past 66 years has compiled an overall winning record; none since Bo McMillan left in 1947. When Mallory came to Indiana in 1984 after successful coaching stops at Miami, Ohio; Colorado, and Northern Illinois, he inherited a fivegame losing streak and a program in disarray under its third coach in three years. The Hoosiers stretched their losing streak to a school-record 16 games by losing all 11 during the 1984 season, although eight of the losses were by a total of 49 points and seven of the 11 teams that beat them later appeared in post-season bowl games. Mallory immediately went to work. He brought in some junior college players, found a way to beef up a miserable running game, promoted a flock of red-shirts to the

varsity and started winning. Indiana won its first four games in 1985 the school’s best start since 1967 but a 48-7 loss to Ohio State started a seven-game slide through the end of the season. Another fourgame winning streak at the start of the 1986 campaign again was halted by Ohio State, but this time the score was 24-22, the closest Indiana had come since the 0-0 tie in 1959. The Hoosiers finished the regular season at 6-5, then lost 27-13 to Florida State in the All American Bowl. Three of the five regularseason losses, however, to Ohio State, Minnesota and Purdue, were by two points apiece; a fourth loss, to Illinois, was by five points. Only in a 38-14 loss to Michigan was Indiana totally outplayed. “We’ve all got a dream to make IU a good, respectable football program,” says Mallory. “Hopefully, we’re on the right track. The most important thing to do now is to come right back and be ready (Friday night) for Minnesota. “The kids are playing like we thought they could play, but we can’t afford to level off. When you do that, you usually get worse. ’ ’ With the nearly flawless victory at Ohio State, the Hoosiers avoided the inconsistency they showed early in the season. After 35-13 opening victory over Rice, Indiana lost 34-15 at Kentucky and narrowly beat Missouri 20-17. The Hoosiers won their Big Ten opener 35-18 over Northwestern, the one conference team with an even worse football tradition than Indiana, then dominated Ohio State to move into a first-place tie with Minnesota and Michigan State in the conference standings. On Tuesday, Indiana was ranked 20th in the weekly Associated Press poll. “We have to continually get better,” Mallory said. “We don’t dare level off. We need to come forth and be more productive in everything we’re doing. There’s nothing that can’t get better, and it’s imperative we do to have a chance (to continue winning).” Indiana’s success has been engineered by junior quarterback Dave Schnell, ranked third in the nation in passing efficiency. Through five games, he has completed 69 of 111 passes for 1,055 yards and 10 touchdowns. Senior Ernie Jones has caught 30 passes for 576 yards and eight touchdowns, and sophomore Anthony Thompson has rushed for 507 yards and five touchdowns. Safety Brian Dewitz, who started five games at quarterback last year, had two pass interceptions against Ohio State.
