Trojan-Continental meet early indicator!

Veteran coach Steve Punchi would rather reserve the notion his Chatard Trojans were thinking “Washington Continentals," while simultaneously rolling up what appeared to be an easy 21-0 blanking of downstate foe Providence last Saturday. The Trojans and Continentals (both sporting early season 2-0 unblemished marks), square off Friday on the Manual Redskins' home field. The Continentals will be coming off a seemingly “breezetype" victory over winless Attuks last weekend. While Chatard was handing visiting Providence its first season loss, the contest wasn’t nearly the “cakewalk” the final score might surmise. With veteran tailback Andy Howard held below his normal rushing output, the Trojans could only manage a 7-0 halftime margin-ultimately striking for touchdown markers in the final stanza. However, Steve Hunsicker, a 5-foot-8, 160-pound running back socred twice for sixpointers. and led the Trojans' ground attack with 68 yards in 15 carries. Howard could only muster 58-despite the fact Chatard finished with a total of 170 yards on the ground. Bulldogs kicks-off dual sports Butler Uniersity kicks off its intercollegiate sports schedule this week with cross country and football programs. Stan Lyons' cross country team began the Butler sports season last Saturday against the Indiana Striders, a group of local runners, at Butler. The team resumes competion Wednesday, when it travels to Taylor College to meet Taylor and Indiana State at 4:30 p.m. The harriers will complete the week’s schedule Saturday when they compete in the Wabash College Hokum Karen. Lyons is optimistic about this season’s cross country group. Only one runner graduated from the squad that finished second in last year's Indiana Collegiate Conference behind Indiana Central. The top returnee is senior Mark Jakubovie, who was third in conference competition. Also returning is senior Bob Cox, who won the six-mile run at last year’s conference meet, and junior Scott Lorek, record holder of the conference mark for the six-mile run. Many campus activities are also planned around the opener for the Butler football squad on Saturday. Eastern Illinois is the opponent for a 1:30 kickoff in the Butler Bowl. Darrell Mudra, in his first year as coach for the Panthers, will be coaching his second game of the season. The Panthers finished 1-10 in 1977, including a 31-13 defeat at the hands of the Bulldogs. Bicycle Marathon at Riverside Saturday The Indianapolis Department of Parks and Recreation will sponsor a county-wide Bicycle Marathon, Saturday at Riverside Park. Youths 10 to 17 years of age are eligible for participation with parent’s consent. There is no entry fee and inspections begin at 8:30 a.m., with races scheduled to start at 10 a.m. Each racer must bring his own bicycle and wear knee pads and head gear (which will be provided). Individual trophies will be awarded to champions and runners-up in each division. Registration will continue throughout the week at Riverside. Additional information can be obtained by calling, 924-9151 ext. 263. Tennis lessons at Ellenberger Registration for mini-tennis lessons to be offered at Ellenberger Tennis Courts, 5801E. St. Cteir Street, will be bold Bsptsmber 14. The four ses hour classes will be offered September 16 through October 7. The dess fee is $10.00.

This weekend’s matchup between Chatard and Washington with both schools having the fortunes of two of the city’s more established and productive varsity mentors, brings together somewhat similar squads-withstanding the Trojans’ defense-expected to receive a solid test from the frequent acknowledged versatile Continental offense. Chatard intercepted their Providence opponents’ passes (which spoiled tempting scoring drives) on five different occassions. Though the verdict of the contest is figured to weigh a great deal in the eventual outcome for city school’s fortunes before the season concludes, many prep fans (in school’s first week of classes), should be following what is becoming after only two weeks -an unpredictable weekend slate. A glance of other top area teams to take to the turf Friday includes the undefeated Mar-

shall Patriots (2-0). They'll host a Howe team (capable of surprises). Cathedral meets Brebeuf at Pike; Manual and Tech renew old rivalries; and Ritter and Roncalli will stage a parochial clash. The remaining city schedule involves Scecina at Arlington; Lebanon at Broad Ripple; Attucks at Brownsburg; and Shortridge at Northwest. Meanwhile, Plymouth High School coach Bill Nixon gave pre-season forecasters an indication of why he felt his club would have a long ways to go in repeating as Indiana AA high school football champs. Rated No. 2 in pre-season polls, Plymouth was turned back by a Columbia City team which also put a halt to the state’s longest overall winning streak at 14 games. Moreover, South Bend Washington, ranked No. 2 in Class AAA, was surprised by Fort Wayne Dwenger drive stalled on Washington's 13yard line late in the game.

Russians not war anxious; whimsical Ali feelings

Veteran halfback Dave Delagrange set a carrer rushing mark in guiding No. 7 ranked nearby Carmel to a 55-14 thrashing over Kokomo Haworth. Delagrange scored three touchdowns-compiling 118 yards in 15 carries in raising his school career rushing total to 2,037 yards. Other Class AA action involving ranked teams:Merrillville, No. 3, walked over Gary Wallace, 35-0; No. 4 Mishawaka was upset (17-14) in sudden death by Elkhart Memorial as was 1977 Class AAA play-off champ Portage--losing for the second straight week-a convincing 20-6 setback by Highland. Lafayette Jeff also upset No. 6 Hobart, 13-10. Suburian Lawrence Central (No. 8) had their way with Perry Meridiim 25-8; No. 9 Martinsville nipped Bloomington North, 14-12, and No. 10 Richmond bounced Fort Wayne Northrop, 17-0.

“The Russians don’t want war, just like we don’t want war, but the two sides are afraid of each other because they don’t know each other and anything you don’t know about, you’re scared of,” says Muhammad Ali in a recent interview with the magazine “New World Review”. “From what I understand, propaganda keeps the cold war going, keeps people against each other. If you could talk to a Russian man, a Russian woman, they’re going to work every day, they love their children, they like to shine their cars. They’re human beings just like all of us and they’re not people just looking to make war and to take over the world.” Ali tells of his meeting with Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev, shares his observations

on the situation of the Soviet Union’s racial and national minorities as well as its religious groups, tells what he likes about the Soviet life-style and why he prefers living in the United States. Ali says he saw a hundred nationalities living together in harmony. “No such thing as a white man or a Black man.” He tells of jogging past two women on a Moscow street. “They didn’t even look back to see why a black man was out here running. I can’t go jogging in the morning in some streets in white neighborhood in America. If they see a black man coming, they wonder who I’m going to jump.” Nobody in the Soviet Union was worried about being robbed or mugged, he observes, and people walk or sit in the park late at night

without fear. His meeting with Soviet President Brezhnev was one of the greatest honors of his life, says Ali, “All he talked about was peace and better relations. He doesn’t want his country to fight. It would be a nuclear war and nobody would win. He wants peace and he hoped my stay there could help bring more peace.” The complete interview, with numerous photographs including Muhammad Ali’s stay in the USSR, appears in the latest issue of “New World Review.” “One thing that surprised me” Ali observes. “I saw nothing American. I’ve been all over the world. It seemed like America dominated the world, or had something everywhere. To see another country that could stil go to the moon, make weapons, feed people, build hospitals, make cars, buses, cameras, televisions - that really impressed me because I didn't think a country could exist without America." Before he went to the Soviet Union, Ali says, he thuught people there were not free to worship. “I went to three different mosques to worship." He points out that people are not allowed to promote or push a faith, but anyone wishing to attend services at a mosque, synagogue or church is completely free to do so. Nor did he see any evidence of people of

Russian nationality trying to dominate the Uzbeks or other people of Central Asia. “People are totally free,” he says. “This race thing isn’t anywhere around.” PREFERS UNITED STATES “The Russian people share what they have,” he says. “They’re all together. No big shots, no loan sharks. Everybody’s got a job. That's more like the Christian teaching. Over here where you preach God, we rich, rich people and the poor, poor.” Nonetheless, he says, he prefers to live in the US: “If you’ve got a chance, you can prove you’ve got it. Over there, you can’t get but so big. So there are good and bad points on both sides.” After his up coming fight with Leon Spinks, Ali says he plans to devote major time and effort to WORLD - World Organization for the Right to Live in Dignity. One of WORLD’S sins is promoting international communications in the interests of peace. Now, I’m getting American films into Russian schools, letting the Russians see that we don’t want war. We’re funny people to*them, too. Let them see how America is, how we picinic, how we play ball, go to the horse races.” reflected Ali.

INSTEAD OF PEACE TREATIES it’s “smoke signals as for as Muhammad Ali is concerned, as he takes a stare at a publication of New World Review magazine while New World editor Marilyn Betchel conducts an interview with the dethroned heavy-weight champ. Ali’s acclamations of a “peace individual” during the interview, apparently has no relationship with the physical encourter which prompted his most recent departure from his resort in Deer Lake, Pa. That being his journey to New Orleans in quest of becoming the first heavy-weight fighter to hold the title thrice if he defeats champion Leon Spinks next week. Cuban heavyweight on Garden am-card

NEW YORK Cuba’s two-time Olympic heavyweight boxing champion, Teofolio Stevenson, is scheduled to headline an amateur Cuban delegation, which faces a United States boxing team in Madison Square Garden next month, said Garden promoters. Garden director John Condon said Stevenson’s opponent has yet to be named, but a leading candidate is Jimmy Clark. Olympic' boxing rules will be enforced during the CubanAmerican amateur matches. United States promoters have met with moot efforts in trying to persuade Stevenson to turn professional since he first won an Olympic Gold Medal in 1972. This is reportedly a key "vintage” in considerations for Madison Square matchmakers, who opt for a chance to pair the

STEVENSON unbeaten Cuban with a top pro heavyweight for big money. This will be the first time the hard-hitting Stevenson has fought in the United States.

Homer shoes eludes

real Icing’s feet!

When the shoe is on the other foot it boils down to the premise it probably is on the wrong pair of feet. As you’re aware, the shoes were on the immortal Babe Ruth's feet for ions--an appropiate fit as far as the baseball establishment was concerned. The shoe is on the other foot today in the case of the record keepers' admoration for Japanese slugger Sadharu Oh, who has pulsated the copy of sports scribes after recently connecting for his 800th career homerun. The record buffs make sure to specify. Oh now holds the world record for the most homers-while modestly acknowledging Hank Aaron is indeed, the American homer king (755). But when the shoe was still on Ruth’s and his follower’s feet a few years ago, we heard little about Oh, or any homerun slugger as much as Aaron. If you remember, there wasn’t too much mention of Aaron’s probability of surpassing Ruth’s mark at that time. I’m speaking of the year 1973, when there were more long-shot odds favoring Willie Mayes to eventually surpass Ruth if anyone. So what caused the sudden attention that Aaron was to capture a few years later? Perhaps, it was those who couldn’t refrain from identifying with a winner -thus leaping on the band wagon to ultimately cheer Aaron past Ruth's legendary 714 mark in 1975. On the other hand, it seems there were those who realized barely a few years after Aaron’s historic moments of heroism would taper, they would soon opt for a new hero TURN TO PAGE 14
