Cubs Down Brazil 26-19 In WIC Gridiron Thriller

The Tiger Cubs areomplished last night what their fans knew they could. They played football like champions, and it paid off in a 26-19 victory over an inspired Brazil team. Bouncing back from a 36-6 pasting at the hands of Crawfordsville, the Tiger Cubs moved one step closer to their first Western Indiana Conference football title in the history of the school. Only a victory over Clinton in the final game of the season is needed for an undefeated conference season and THE TITLE. The fans came to see a thrilling and exciting game and no one went home disappointed. Billed as a bam-bumer. the issue wasn’t settled until the final 11 seconds when the Cubs ran out the clock on a fourth down play. Greencastle scored first and led at the end of the first quarter by six points, bud midway in the second quarter, Brazil took a 13 to 12 lead. With only 7 seconds left in the first half, the cubs racked up seven more points for a 19-13 half-time lead. Brazil tied the score in the third quarter, setting the stage for the dramatic finish.

The game had all the thrills and spectacular plays only seen in high school football. Ten fumbles attest to the hard tackling and the keyed-up play from both teams. Three pass interceptions prove that both defenses came to play and were not about to give an inch. The desire and the all around play of the entire Cubs team was the difference. Brazil took the opening kick and moved the pigskin from their own 33 to the Cubs 24 in 11 plays before a 4th down pass was incomplete. See, Luzar and Churchill teamed for a 1st down on the Cubs 44. Luzar broke off tackle to the Brazil 33. Churchill bucked the line twice for 4 yards and then a 15 yard penalty helped keep the Cubs drive going. After three line bucks lost yardage, Churchill on a screen pass from Norris over the middle dashed 18 yards for the TD. They elected to pass for the extra point but the pass to Allan was incomplete. The Cubs put their 12th point on the scoreboard with 9:36 left in the second quarter. Mark Elliott downed a blocked punt on the Brazil 49. Luzar scored the

. TD from three yards out after ! Norris guided the Cubs the 49 ! yards in 11 plays. The second try for the extra point failed. The Red Devils dented the scoreboard on the first play after recovering a Cubs fumble on the Greencastle 23. Tom j Butwin faded to pass and hit his big end Make Archer in the end Zone. Jim Persinger s kick was good 'with 5:13 remaining ! in the half.

At least four teams are still in the leap-frogging race for the Indiana Collegiate Conference football crown with two more Saturday’* to settle the issue. Indiana State, Butler and St. Joseph’s mathematically still have a chance to catch up with or overhaul this week’s front runner 3-0-1 Ball State. Ball State withstood challenging Butler’s Bulldogs last week, 17-14, but the Cards have it to do all over again against Indiana State this Saturday in Muncie. Second place Indiana State, 3-1, is knocking at the front door this time. A Sycamore win elevates the Terre Hauteans to first and leaves them with only DePauw to conquer for the

crown.

A Ball State win, on the other hand, would clinch the Card*’ second straight clear flag, regardless of how they make out at St. Joe Nov. 6. While the two top teams attempt to sort themselves out, 3-2 Butler will try to put itself back into contention at 1-8 DePauw, to whom the Bulldogs haven’t lost in 39 years. Two-two St. Joe, meanwhile, will try the same thing in Evansville’s homecoming. Valparaiso will be at non-confer-ence Washington. As the Cardinals held steady on the top rung, so did most of last week’* *tati*tical leaders. The only exception* were the elevation <rf Butler’s punter Jim Carver to the top in this department with a 37.1 average and Amos VanPelt’s leadership in scoring. Ball State’s VanPelt and Butler’s Dan Warfel and Larry Gilbert remained 1-2-3 in rushing VanPelt has 346 yards in 72 carries for a 4.8 average. Warfel i* averaging 7.8 in 36 carries and has 283 yards. Figuring in 42 plays in his team * 17-12 loss to St. Joe, Valpo'* Jon Dimitri heads the ICC total offense department. He is trailed by Indiana State’s Ron Overton, 817 years to 709. Dimitri also leads in passing yardage with 701, but Overton is out front in accuracy in the league, hitting with .531 consis-

tency.

Bert Bleke, Valpo end. remain* ahead in pass receiving. He leads Indiana State's John Truitt 26-23. Either player could conceivably break the one-sea-son ICC mark of 32. Bleke has one game left to do it Truitt ha* two. VanPelt with 26 points, leads a bunched field in scoring. Just behind with four TD.s each are Truitt, Bleke and Gilbert. Indiana State, with 210 air yard* against Evansville, jumped into the front in team passing with a 185.0 average. Valpo dropped to second. Pointing to an offensive show Saturday, Ball State and Indiana State continue their neck and neck total offense duel. The Cards are averaging 344.0 per game to Indiana State’s 339. Out of IOC action while handling Earlham, 36-6, DePauw sta3’ed ahead as the loop’s number one defensive unit with a 206.3 allowance. St. Joe is second with 266.0 Ball State and Butler are 1-2 l in rushing with 237.0 and 204.0 out puts per effort. Attendance at 15 ICC games this year has been 94,438 for an average of 6,296. Ten of the league games have drawn in excess of 4,500.

DePauw Frosh to Meet Wabash

Though none is needed, a tuneup for the DePauw-Wabash Monon Bell varsity game will be played in Blackstock Stadium Friday. Renewing a long-dead rivalry between their freshman football teams, the two clubs are slated to clash at 3:00 p.m. in a Dads’ Day weekend prelude. Wabash’s yearlings will bring a 1-0 record into the fray. That was a 14-6 win over St. Joseph’s freshman team. DePauw, on the other hand, will be looking for its first win. The Tigers lost to Indiana Stat« , 39-15. Wabash has not fielded a freshman team because freshmen were not eligible for varsity sports there until last year. The actual Monon Bell game between the Cavemen and Tiger* will be played November 12, in Crawfordsville.
