By JERRY LEBO INDIANAPOLIS ( U P I ) — Bloomington and Indianapolis Washington, the two top-rated high school football clubs in Indiana, shattered opponents Friday night, and No. 3 Marion romped to an easy victory.

Tigers’ last half rally just

falls short at Plainfield

Coach Jim McCammon huddles with team Gibson, McLain aces

NEW YORK —Pitchers Bob Gibson of the St. Louis Cardinals and Denny McLain of the Detroit Tigers, the leading candidates for the Most Valuable Player Awards in their respective leagues and probable starters in the first game of the 1968 World Series, could have the inside track on SPORT Magazine’s 14th annual World Series Sports Car Award, if precedent rules and hurlers dominate in the Fall Classic.

In the 13 years that SPORT Magazine has presented the award, a sports car, to the man the editors select as the Most Valuable Player in the Series, eleven pitchers have earned the prize, and of these, four had started the opener for their clubs. They were Whitey Ford of the New York Yankees in 1961, Sandy Koufax of the Los Angeles Dod-

gers in 1963, and Gibson in 1964 and 1967. This year’s prize, a fully equipped 1969 Dodge Charger, will be presented to the winner at a luncheon in his honor at the conclusion of the Series. If Gibson manages to win the Charger, it will be an unprecedented third sports car and the second in two years that he will have won as the Series MVP. Former Dodger great Koufax is the only other player to have won the award twice. Gibson’s powerful credentials going into the Series include the best earned-run average in modern major-league history and his third 20-win season in the last four years. McLain’s equally impressive record shows that he is the first 30-game winner in the major leagues in 34 years. The other Cardinals considered to have good shots at

winning the SPORT Magazine World Series Award are sluggers Mike Shannon, Orlando Cepeda and Tim McCarver, and speedy Lou Brock, whose baserunning almost stole the prize last year. The other Tigers likely to take a run at the Dodge Charger are long-ball threats Willie Horton and Bill Freehan, and the veteran A1 Kaline, appearing in the first Series of his 16-year career with Detroit. Past SPORT Magazine World Series Award Winners: 1955Johnny Podres, Dodgers; 56- Don Larsen, Yankees; 57-Lew Burdette, Braves; 58- Bob Turley, Yankees; 59- Larry Sherry, Dodgers; 60 Bobby Richardson, Yankees; 61- Whitey Ford, Yankees; 62- Ralph Terry, Yankees; 36Sandy Koufax, Dodgers; 64-Bob Gibson, Cardinals; 65- Sandy Koufax, Dodgers; 66- Frank Robinson, Orioles; 67- Bob Gibson, Cardinals.

Murphy does not play 2nd half; Quakers Win

By MARK STEELE Sports Editor Plainfield kept its domination over Greencastle grid teams last night when the Quakers took advantage of two second quarter Cub errors and turned them into tallies for a 14-7 win. A fifteen yard penalty and a fumble Jed to the two Plainfield scores as Greencastle suffered its second loss in four games. The absense of halfback Dan Murphy hampered the Tiger Cub offense when a second quarter injury sidelined the Cubs’ top runner the entire second half. After playing a first period see-saw battle, Murphy broke the Quaker defense for a 20 yard gain to the Greencastle 46, but lossed the pigskin in the process. Plainfield recovered to set up its first scoring drive. Ron Dooley, playing fullback for the first time, ran 10 yards to the Greencastle 36 to set up a first down. Dooley had quarterbacked the Quakers through their first three games, all ending in losses. Plainfield ran from a pro type offense using the winged T and I-formation. On the next play a hard c harging Cub line was called for roughing the passer and Plainfield was on the Cubs 20 yard line with a first and ten. Junior halfback Rex Schinbeckler scooted right end on the next play, scoring his first of two touchdowns. Plainfield led 7-0 on Dooley’s extra point. Senior halfback Murphy had little trouble penetrating the Quaker defense, gaining four to six yards per carry. A mixup in the Cub backfield awarded Plainfield its second scoring opportunity when the Cubs fumbled on their own 30 yard line. Schinbeckler carried for 10 yards. A Bob Lovell to end Brian Phillips pass netted 11 more and two plays later Schinbeckler scored from the four. Again Dooley added the point after and Plainfield led 14-0 at half. Greencastle picked up 85 yards rushing the first half to the Quakers’ 68, but 30 yards in the air gave the hosts a 98-94 advantage. It was all Greencastle in the second half. Junior quarterback Rick Bundy passed for 83 yards and halfbacks Phil Clark and Tony Harmless picked up the majority of 90 yards while the Tiger Cubs gathered nine first downs. Clark capped a 74-yard drive on the first play of the final quarter scoring off tackle from six yards out. Darryl Pierce booted the extra point. The Cub defense held off another Plainfield scoring effort with just over seven minutes remaining when junior Rich Harlan stopped an attempted Quaker reverse on fourth and nine from the Greencastle 18 yard line. Coach Jim McCammon’s squad took over on downs and moved the ball to the Plainfield 34 yard

line in nine play. The drive was stopped when Plainfield’s Jim Harris picked off a Bundy pass at the 30. Clark and Harmless were the top ground gainers for Greencastle, leading the Cubs to a 175-110 edge on the ground. Bundy passed for a 92-72 advantage in the air. Next week the Tiger Cubs look for their second Western Indiana Conference win, going against West Vigo there. The Vikings dropped their fourth straight last night to undefeated Gerstmeyer 13-0. In other league action, Brazil blasted Linton 38-0, giving the Miners an 0-2 league mark and the Red Devils a 2-1 slate. Sul- • livan surprised Garfield 13-6 to keep the Golden Arrows even with Brazil at 2-1. The loss dropped the Purple Eagles from a share of the top spot.
