“Old Gold Day” has new look

by Mark Steele Old Gold Day took on a new look for DePauw Saturday when the Tigers came from 14 points down in the final quarter to win Mont’s third homecoming in 10 years at the helm. Again an inspired defensive unit was the difference. DePauw now holds a 2-1 league mark with Butler here November 2 to round out the home schedule and loop competition this season. The Tigers struck early on passes from sophomore quarterback Roy Pottenger to end Scott Ralston which enabled DePauw to get on the scoreboard in the first three minutes. An outstanding passing attack by Evansville’s signal caller, Craig Blackford to end Mike Woodard, and the running of Don Crane put the aces ahead 21-7 in the first half. After their touchdown drive in the opening minutes DePauw’s offensive team couldn’t get started. The Aces were putting a rush on passer Pottenger, giving him little time to find the receivers he ha d found on the opening drive. For the first time this year Mont elected to go with the bomb on the first play as the ends went long. This opened up the Aces defense and both running and passing 'was wide open for DePauw. After the initial touchdown by the Tigers, Evansville’s defense tightened. Even in the third quarter when DePauw got to the Aces 2-yard line with a first and ten the defense held. That was Ron Me Bride’s first appearance in the game. “Twiggy” so called by his team-mates, was called on to run

the quarterback option with a fourth and four situation from the four yard line. He was knocked out of bounds at the four and Evansville took over. The next time DePauw got the ball the offense started getting the necessary clutch plays. The contrast of Pottenger’s passing in the first half, and McBride’s running and short passes in the second half broke up the Aces defense. It wasn’t only a matter of whether or not the Tigers could catch Evansville in the closing minutes, but what to do once it did score. To go for the sure kick, to tie or try and make two-points for the win or miss and lose the game. Mont decided to go for 2-points using McBride on the run-pass option to his left. Evansville was expecting the play and McBride found himself five yards behind the line of scrimmage with three Aces in pursuit. Rather than be thrown for a loss McBride threw the ball in desperation to Ralston. The best Ralston could do was deflect the ball off his hands, but that was good enough. Halfback John Long grabbed the ball off Ralston’s hands and sprinted into the end zone for the final tally. Said Ralston after the game, “Even if I could have caught the pass we wouldn’t have scored.” “I didn’t even see John I was just trying to catch the pass.” DePauw now trails Valparaiso in the conference with just the one league game against Butler left.

Olympics are over for

Monsels and Surinam

By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer MEXICO CITY (UPI)—For one country, the Olympics were all over today. Nothing political or anything like that. Purely simple elimination. But fast. Poor little Surinam, a proOakland’s string snapped By STEVE SCHWARTZ UPI Sports Writer Defense was the name of the game in the American Football League Sunday but for the first time in 15 league games the Oakland Raiders were the victims. A strong San Diego defense stopped the Raiders’ win streak at 14 games when it held Oakland quarterback Daryle Lamonica to just three completed passes in the second half, stunning the league champions, 23-14. The Chargers, who hold the AFL’s longest win streak at 15 games set in 1960-61, had trouble with their own offense as rookie Dennis Partee’s three field goals were the only scores in the rugged second half. San Diego led 17-14 at halftime as the result of a 38yard TD pass from John Hadl to flanker Lance Alworth plus Gene Foster’s one-yard plunge and Partee’s first field goal. In other games, the Boston Patriots were shut out for the first time in 33 games as Houston blanked them, 16-0; Denver Broncos’ usually porous pass defense picked off five Joe Namath passes to spark a 21-13 upset over the New York Jets; and the high scoring Kansas City Chiefs were held to just one touchdown as they beat the Cincinnati Bengals, 13-3. Miami and Buffalo played to a 14-14 tie Saturday night. The loss dropped the Raiders into a second place tie in the Western Division with San Diego, both teams having 4-1 records behind leader Kansas City at 5-1. The sputtering Chiefs rode the sure toe of Jan Stnerud, who kicked field goals of 52 and 46 yards, to get past the stubborn Bengals. An aroused Houston defense allowed the Patriots across the midfield line only three times the entire game as kicking specialist John Wittenborn provided the Oiler scoring punch with three field goals. Quarterback Steve Tensi, starting his first game of the season, hit Eric Crabtree on a 7 2-yard scoring pass on the first play of the second half for Denver’s longest scoring play of the season. The Jets never recovered from the shock.

gressive young nation of 350,000 situated in the northestern portion of South America, was wiped out of the Olympics in exactly 20.8 seconds. That’s why Eddy Monsels is packing his suitcase today and getting a jet for home Tuesday. Eddy Monsels is a 20-year-old sprinter and a good one. Not as good as a Charlie Greene or a Jimmy Hines, perhaps, but good enough to have won more than a half-dozen titles in Europe. First and Alone As far as these Olympics go, Eddy Monsels and Surinam are one and the same because he was the only competitor here representing the Dutch-speaking nation which itself was being represented in an Olympiad for the first time. “I wish there were others besides me here,” said the sensitive, bespectacled Monsels, without brooding over his elimination. Then we would have a team. If one, like me, lost, there would be others to watch for Surinam. In the next Olympics, I am sure there will be others.” Monsels ran in two preliminary 100 meter heats Sunday which was one more than he expected. He wound up fifth in his first heat in 10.4 and that would hav€ finished him right there and then except that the first five men across the tape all were clocked in the same time and that gave Monsels another chance in a second round heat later in the day. That one was what they called a “loaded” heat. He was running in the same one with Greene and some other hotshots and he wound up last in an eight.man field, timed again in 10.4. No Tears “For myself I don’t feel so badly,” said Monsels, gazing at the smart, slate-gray jacket he had worn so proudly in the opening ceremony and which was now hanging in his room. “I feel most badly for the people in Surinam. They expected too much of me. They thought I would win. The majority of them do not realize there were much better runners here than me and that for a long time before the Olympics I had an injured thigh. “When I go home to Surinam to see my family I will not hang my head. I have nothing to be ashamed of. I didn’t cry when I lost because there are much bigger things to cry about than losing a foot-race. Eddy Monsels broke training Sunday night and traveled into the city from his bleak room ir the Village to see the sights. He enjoyed himself because he didn’t have to worry about doing any more running today. For him the Olympics are all over. For Surinam, too.

CHICAGO (UPI) — Ohio State interrupted Purdue’s bid for national football honors Saturday but it was Indiana that came out ahead in the Big Ten standings after the second week of competition. Indiana Coach Johnny Pont praised his Hoosiers’ offensive blocking and running in the team’s 38-34 victory over Iowa for its second straight conference win. Ohio State, with its 13-0 whitewashing of Purdue, the No. 1 team in the country, was tabbed the “team to beat” for conference honors and the trip to the Rose Bowl Jan. 1. Indi ana represented the Big Ten last year. “They (Ohio) are a fine team and took us apart,” said Purdue Coach Jack Mollenkoph. “We ran into a buzzsaw and couldn’t move the ball. They are fine on defense, too, and are much improved over last

year.”

Michigan defeated Michigan State, 28-14, and Minnesota downed Illinois, 17-10, to join Ohio State and Indiana as the only unbeaten teams in Big Ten

action.

Minnesota, which shared the Big Ten title last year with Indiana and Purdue, led all the way for its first win. The Gophers have lost two of three nonConference games. Harriers Sandwiched It was a “photo finish” Saturday afternoon, as the DePauw harriers were a “day-late and a dollar-short” finishing second to the Wheaton Crusaders, and edging Wabash, in a three way cross country meet at Crawfordsville. The finals score was, Wheaton, 35, DePauw, 41 and Wabash, 44. The Tigers’, Bill Syverson, again took top honors for DePauw, by finishing fourth in the meet with a time of 21:05. DePauw’s Lowry captured fifth, just one behind Syverson, at 21:06, Johnson finished seventh in the competition, in a time of 21:18. DePauw’s thinclads also took the tenth and fifteenth place spots. The winner, overall, was Wheaton’s, Barker, who turned an excellent time of 20:29. DePauw’s Scott Shafer, who has been nursing along some injuries since the start of the season, turned in a respectable time of 21:50, and Coach McCall is hoping that he will be near peak condition this Tuesday, October 15, when the Tigers host a three way meet with Indiana State and Eastern Kentucky. On Thursday, October 17, DePauw’s soccer eleven will try to even their record to 2-2 when Wabash comes to town for a 3:30 encounter at Boswell field.

WENTWORTH, England (UPI)— A dash of luck and a touch of jitters combined to make Gary Player of South Africa the winner of his third Piccadilly World Match Play golf championship in four years. The lucky break came when Player’s second shot at the 30th hole was heading out of bounds. It hit a tree and rebounded into play, whereupon Player hit a chip shot to the green and sank a 12-foot putt to halve the hole and remain tied with Bob Charles of New Zealand.

Three oddities of football—a fumble recovery, a bad punt, and a deflected pass—were the breaks of the game that produced DePauw’s first homecoming football win in six years here Saturday. Victim of one of DePauw’s greatest comebacks in recent years was Evansville which saw a 21-7 fourth quarter lead dissipate into a 22-21 DePauw triumph. Scoring two TD’s in the final 11 minutes to bring the score to 20-21, DePauw went for the whole ball of wax on a two-point pointafter pass with 3:45 left in the fracas. Quarterback Ron McBride, who entered the game late in the third quarter took the snap and dropped back to throw for the critical two points. Evansville gave a good pass rush. As two Aces put their hands on McBride he gave a desperate sling towards the endzone. The ball hit its apparent intended receiver end Scott Ralston, but it bounced off at the goal line. At the moment Johnny on the Spot Long came out of the Tiger backfield. He clutched the caroming ball and dashed jubilantly into the endzone with the winning points. That play capped a 15-point fourth quarter that brought the Tigers off the deck and back into contention for the I.C.C. championship. It also pleasantly complicated Coach Tom Mont’s quarterback problems, for sophomore Roy Pottenger and McBride both had unusually bright moments. DePauw’s last quarter TD’s were set up by a timely fumble recovery and a short Evansville punt. Limebacker Bill Scaife recovered the first of two fumbles on the Ace 28 just 90 seconds into the last period. It came only a couple of minutes after Evansville had stopped a DePauw threat at the Ace three when McBride in his first play of the game— was dumped on fourth and three. Failure to score on that threat seemed to smash DePauw’s hopes of coming back. But Scaife’s key recovery at the 28 set new waves in motion. McBride ran for three to the 25, then he hit Ralston for 10 yards and a first down at the 15. McBride, who leads DePauw in rushing yardage, ran for seven more to the eight and fullback Bill Holton rammed in for five more. John Sacramento pounded down to the one and Holton jammed in from there for the TD with 10:51 left. Sacramento’s kick was

good to make it, 14-21. Evansville got a first down at the 50 next time. But the drive stalled there and Craig Hofmann, the nation’s eighth ranked punter according to the NCAA, was on his own 40 to punt. He got a low center snap. By the time he corralled the ball two Tigers were bearing down on him. Hofmann sliced the kick off his foot, out of bounds. DePauw took over on the Ace 49. Holton ran twice for a first down at the 38, McBride misfired, but then hit Ralston for 10 to the Evansville 28. McBride missed two more passes, but Stu Sharp ran left for nine down to the 19 where it was fourth and one. McBride glided right then sliced inside the end to the 15. Six rushing plays later Sacramento went in over the right tackle for the TD, setting up the juggling act on the extra point. For a long time Saturday it looked as if DePauw’s four year string of winless afternoons against Evansville would continue. After going 80 easy yards for a TD the first time it got the ball with Ralston on the end of a 45-yard Pottenger bomb, DePauw’s offense and defense took the rest of the half as Evansville dished it out. Evansville followed DePauw’s first TD with an unsuccessful field goal attempt from the 35. The teams traded an interception for a fumble next time around, and then Evansville went to work. The Aces ripped off three consecutive touchdowns—all in the second period. The first one went 40 yards after Richard Dick had recovered Stu Sharp’s fumble at the Tiger 40. Greg Hofmann got it on a three-yard pass from quarterback Craig Blackford with 14:56 left in the half. Mike Woodard’s kick was blocked by Tiger Jerry Hofmann. Evansville got the ball after a punt next time and sailed down field on a 79-yard drive. Blackford, hitting his receivers consistently for 10-25 yard gainers, threw three completions in this drive that ended on Don Crane’s one-yard plunge with 8:16 left. Blackford threw to Woodard for two points on the

conversion.

Trying to get on the scoreboard again DePauw threw itself into more hotwater. Pottenger’s pass was picked off by Pete Rupp on the Ace 41 with 6:49 to play. Blackford picked the Tiger secondary to pieces again for five more completions and Ken Mills had

Evansville’s third TD of the quarter with 1:58 to go in the half. In that catastrophic second period Evansville ran 29 plays to DePauw’s 13 and scored more points in 15 minutes than had been socred against the Tigers in 180 minutes (three games). Evansville came out in the second half and took the opening kickoff to the Tiger 15. The drive bogged down there and Woodard’s field goal from the 22 was short. From that point on (11:57) DePauw controlled the game, running 41 plays to Evansville’s 15. Blackford, who completed 14 of 20 in the first half for 140 yards, got off eight in the last 30 minutes, completing five for 80 yards. Mont said after the game he had told his defensive unit at halftime to put a stiffen rush on Blackford. They never did spill the big QB for a loss, but he had little time to spot his receivers in the last two periods. He didn’t complete a single pass to the talented Woodard in the

last half, though he hit him five times in the first 30 minutes. Holton led DePauw’s rushing attack with 67 yards in 16 carries. Long had 40 in seven and McBride 24 in eight. The Tigers had a 154-136 rushing margin, but the Aces on 18 of 28 took passing 220 to 161. DePauw completed nine of 19. Both teams got 19 first downs with Evansville getting 15 in the first half. This Saturday DePauw goes to Muncie to play Ball State.State beat Evansville 28-3 and Val-

Cubans could upset

By JOHN G. GRIFFIN UPI Executive Sports Editor MEXICO CITY (UPI)-The Olympic 100-meter dash championship is supposed to be the personal property of Uncle Sam — but it could happen today that a Cuban will turn out to be the “world’s fastest human.” The United States, which is expected to reap a big harvest of gold medals in track and field in the Olympics now at last under way here, confidently anticipates its first championship of the XIX Olympiad in the men’s shot put. Randy Matson, the Pampa, Tex., strongman, set an Olympic record in Sunday’s trial and is heavily favored to win today. But what about the 100 meters? Charlie Greene of Seattle.

Wash., twice equalled the world record of 10.0 seconds in Sunday’s trial heats. That should make him a favorite to breeze through Monday’s semifinal and final. But: Hermes Ramirez of Cuba also equalled the world record by winning his second trial. And two other Cubans, Pablo Montes Casanova and the veteran Enrique Figurola, also won through the first two heats and join Ramirez in mounting the greatest single-nation threat to U.S. sprint domination in modern times. Add in the fact that Jim Hines of Oakland, Calif., and 30.year.old Mel Pender of San Pedro, Calif., both did no better than second in their second trials, and you could have a formula for a U.S. sprint defeat.
