Elkhart vaults to top of prep grid poll

Last weekend’s Ball State-DePauw game was another extremely well played game. It is too bad the game wasn’t at home for our supporters to see. In the game there was a 39-yard field goal, a 69-yard punt return and a 67-yard quick kick. There was intensity and closeness as the first down markers were brought out seven times, six for State and once for DePauw. Each time State got its first down by inches and DePauw also got its only measurement. There was some questionable decisions in the game that might have changed the outcome. State on a fourth down and long yardage play from the DePauw 38-yard line went for the bomb. On our side of the field we could plainly see the receiver trapped the ball, but the referee called a complete pass. Also there were some questionable clipping penalties called that would have made a big difference in our field position a number of times. On another play a Ball State player caught the kickoff at the three yard line. His knee appeared to be on the ground when he caught the ball. There was no whistle and he returned it to the 35 yard line. The wind was another factor in the game. It played havoc with the long passes although it wasn’t too noticeable on the short patterns. I think the turning point in the contest was on our kick-off after taking a 12-10 lead. With about nine minutes to go, one of their backs made a great runback after he was trapped at the 10-yard line. I’m naturally disappointed in not winning because we had the game in our grasp, however, I was marveled at the determination our boys put together against a big school like Ball State. I received a jolt when I heard of the loss of Ron McBride. McBride was voted the “Back of the Week” by the team and coaches. (McBride was burned in a fraternity house fire Sunday night about the bands and feet and will miss at least this Saturday’s game.) Rock Klein was again voted the “Lineman of the Week.” Looking ahead to this Saturday’s game with Centre, Kentucky, at Centre, we'll (the team) have our hands full with their fastbacks and a good kicker. They are 4-1 on the season. In two previous meetings with Centre in 1962 and 63 we defeated them by three touchdowns. Saturday will be a different ball game with a team that finished 7-2 last season. Centre is a member of the College Athletic Conference and DePauw is always a big game for them. They’re always primed to beat us. Besides the loss of McBride, physically we are in pretty good shape. After the fifth game DePauw always takes a break from the daily workout schedule and gives the team a couple of days off from practice. This gives the team a chance to rest up before tackling the last four games. Trent Detamore, an offensive guard, Frank Hussey and back Stu Sharp are over knee injuries and all should see action against Centre. This will be an important game for DePauw since it is a pivotal game before the final three. The ICC has shaped up to a good race. Valparaiso has been the big surprise, while St. Joe has been disappointing. Valpo holds the league lead with a 2-0 record, DePauw is 2-1, Evansville is 1-1, Butler 1-2, and St. Joe 0-2.

The Quarterback Club will have a supper tonight at 6 p.m. prior to the Brazil-Greencastle football game in the high school cafeteria.

By KURT FREUDENTHAL INDIANAPOLIS ( U P I ) — Elkhart’s Blue Blazers, virtually assured of the Northern Conference crown, today took over the No. 1 spot in Indiana high school football. The UPI board of coaches installed coach Tom Kurth’s club as the one to beat for mythical state honors following its 42-0 romp over league rival Mishawaka last weekend. That was Elkhart's seventh consecutive victory, ninth in a row over two seasons, with three games to go for a perfect campaign. The Blazers, never far off the pace through the season and third last week, replaced Bloomington and Marion in first place with 96 out of a possible 120 points. The new front-runn-ers received only two firstplace votes but scored heavily with seconds and thirds to shae Bloomington by 3 points and Marion, which dropped to third, by 8. Jeff, Cathedral Gain Bloomington received three first-place votes as did No. 4 Indianapolis Washington with 83 markers. Bloomington seeks the South Central Conference crown this weekend while Marion is home with the North Central Confer, ence pennant. Meanwhile, Jeffersonville and Indianapolis Cathedral regained “Big 10” berths. Jeff has lost only to Bloomington while Cathedral is tied but unbeaten. Indianapolis Washington, Evansville Mater Dei, Indianapolis Chatard and Gary Andrean, all undefeated, remained fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh, respectively, but the other positions'in the elite changed hands. Cathedral moved up from 11th to eighth, Jeffersonville from 12th to ninth and Chesterton from 10th to a tie for ninth. Hammond was voted down from eighth to a tie for 15th after losing to East Chicago Washington and Indianapolis

Shortridge was demoted from eighth to a tie for 20th after bowing to Cathedral. The other four first-place votes went to Mater Dei, Chatard, Cathedral and Andrean.

Crusaders clash with Pumas in ICC

Valparaiso University’s Crusaders, weary from a 28-0 homecoming loss to Indiana State University Sycamores, begin preparation for the game Saturday afternoon against St. Joseph’s College in Rensselear. The game will mark a return to Indiana Collegiate Conference play and the Crusaders are hopeful of remaining atop the ICC heap. VU. is currently 2-0 in conference play and a win Saturday would assure them of at least a conference tie for the crown. The Crusaders and Pumas have met 29 times on the gridiron in a series which began in 1921. The Crusaders hold a slight edge with 15 wins against 12 losses. There have been two ties in the series which has produced several winning streaks. Valparaiso won the first four games with a 52-0 victory in the first game between the two schools. St. Joseph’s won the next four to even the series at four each in 1946. The Puma wins were all shut-outs. Valpo recovered after a 7-7 tie in 1947 and won seven in a row for an 11-4 edge in the series in 1954. St. Joseph’s has won the last three games to bring the series to its present 15-11 status.

Royals hustle leads NBA

By United Press International The Cincinnati Royals are still unbeaten in the National Basketball Association this season because hustle sometimes can overcome superior muscle and shooting. The Royals were out-rebound-ed 62-46 and outshot 47.1 per cent to 40 per cent Tuesday night but rallied from a 17-point deficit to beat the Los Angeles Lakers, 107-103, for their third straight victory of the season. The loss was the Lakers’ second in three games. The Royals were able to overcome the Lakers' superior rebounding and shooting percentage because their hustle enabled them to take 100 shots compared to 85 by Los Angeles. Wilt Chamberlain’s presence in the Los Angeles lineup hasn’t jelled the Lakers yet. The Royals started their comeback when Oscar Robert, son gunned in 13 points during a 31-point third period and went ahead to stay 92-91 early in the fourth period on a field goal by Connie Dierking. The Lakers were hobbled when Jerry West, who scored 24 points, fouled out with 3:48 remaining in the game. Robertson wound up with 28 points and Jerry Lucas and Adrian Smith had 20 each for the Royals. Elgin Baylor scored 35 points and Wilt Chamberlain tallied 19 in addition to pulling down 32 rebounds for the Lakers. The New York Knickerbockers won ther first game of the season when they defeated the Philadelphia 76ers, 117-114, and the San Francisco Warriors edged the Phoenix Suns, 109-101, in other Tuesday night games. Cazzie Russell scored 27 points and scored on his last three shots with less than two minutes remaining in the game to spark the Knicks to their victory. The Knicks had a 15point lead with 5:14 to go but the 76ers reeled off 13 straight points to make it a close finish. Chet Walker led the 76ers with 21 points.

Gail Goodrich scored 29 points, 13 in the first period, for Phoenix but it was in vain as San Francisco rallied in the third period to record the triumph. Joe Ellis scored 14 of his 20 points in a three-minute, 28-second span in the third period to pace the surge. Rudy LaRusso scored his 10,000th point in the first half—the 32nd man in NBA history to reach that total. Five HCC teams in lead By United Press International There’s no room at the top in Hoosier College Conference football and with the season half over, something will have to give soon. No less than five teams—defending champion Taylor, Anderson, Hanover, Manchester and Earlham— emerged last weekend with a 2-1 loop records to tie for first place, thanks to Taylor’s 17-14 loss at Earlham. The Trojans went into the game leading the league at 2-0 and held a 14-0 lead in the second period before Earlham rallied and won on the strength of a third-period field goal. The league’s key games Saturday are Earlham at Hanover and Manchester at Taylor while Indiana Central goes to Anderson. Valparaiso hopes to forget all about its 28-0 non-league sethack at the hands of Indiana State at the expense of St. Joseph’s to run its Indiana Collegiate Conference records to 30. Indiana, where some personnel changes could be in the making following its 27-22 Big Ten loss to Michigan, plays its last nonconference game of the season against incoming Arizona. Purdue, barely a winner of Wake Forest (28-27), gets back into Big Ten warfare with Iowa providing the homecoming opposition while Notre Dame invades Michigan State.

The Puma victories the last three years have been by scores of 15-14 In 1965, 17-12 in 1966 and 34-0 last year on Brown Field. Coach Norm Amundsen had nothing but praise for the defensive unit against Indiana State. Six turnovers by the offense put the defense on the field about 45 minutes of the game. Valparaiso fans should be happy to hear that Amundsen reported after the game that there were no serious injuries in the game and that the Crusaders should be full strength for Saturday’s crucial contest at St. Joseph’s. Swim team goes for three more By CONNIE RYAN UPI Sports Writer MEXICO CITY (UPI)-The U.S. Olympic swimming team goes after three more gold medals today, but it is in the unfamiliar position of being underdogs in two races. At stake are the medals in the men’s 100-meter backstroke, the 200-meter women’s freestyle and the 200-meter men’s breast, stroke. The favorite in the backstroke is Roland Matthes of East Germany, the world record holder, but Charles Hickcox of Phoenix, Ariz., is in the field and he is in great form. He already has won a medley gold medal. The favorite in the breaststroke is Russia’s world record holder, Vladimir Kosinsky, but Phil Long of Wayne, Pa., had excellent times in Monday’s trial heats. In the women’s 200-meter freestyle, it’s a battle for the gold between two U.S. stars, with Debbie Meyer of Sacramento, Calif., favored and Jan Henne of Oakland, Calif., the 100-meter freestyle gold medalist, a real threat. The U.S. won two more gold medals Monday night, six more medals in all, and now has won 11 of a possible 14 golds and 27 of the 36 medals possible so far. For the entire swimming and diving program, 99 medals are offered, and the U.S. in preOlympic estimates had expected to win half. It is far over that average and has swept four events, a feat never accomplished previously.

CHICAGO (UPI) - Michigan Coach Bump Elliott Tuesday ignored heavy rain as he carried the Wolverines through a sprint session in preparation for Saturday’s game with Minnesota, which shares the Big Ten lead with the Wolverines and Ohio State. Two Wolverines, defensive tackle Tom Goss and offensive flanker Paul Staroba, missed Tuesday’s workouts because of injuries. However, Elliott said he expected them to be ready for the homecoming game with Minnesota. The Gophers, fresh from a 1413 victory over Michigan State, will be trying to make it a clean sweep over the Michigan schools when Minnesota invades Ann Arbor. Minnesota will try to throw a recharged and effective running game at their opponents. Ohio State, virtually assured of a victory over winless Illinois Saturday, held a light workout Tuesday. Coach Woody Hayes said the team ran “pretty well.” All players are expected to be ready for Saturday’s game. Purdue’s Coach Jack Mollenkopf returned to direct his team’s preparation for :its game against Iowa after suffering a bout with the flu. But six of his star players, including Leroy Keyes and Mike Phipps, missed practice. Iowa’s defense concentrated on stopping Keyes Tuesday, even though there was no definite word on whether Leroy would be in the Boilermaker lineup. Coach Ray Nagel used freshman Levi Mitchell, a speedy prep All-America, to simulate Keyes' running plays during a two-hour practice. Winless Wisconsin shifted several players Tuesday in a effort to put together a winning combination. Coach John Coat, ta shifted Stu Voight to wing, back, left John Ryan at quarterback, and remained

State cage team drills

TERREHAUTE, Ind.—Indiana State basketball coach Gordon Stauffer welcomed back 17 candidates for the Sycamore varsity cage squad. Five lettermen, three non-let-tering returnees, two junior college transfers and seven sophomores are among the 17 players seeking spots on this year’s Sycamore squad. Only two of the returning lettermen, senior guard Mike Copper (VALPARAISO) and senior forward Fred Hardman (LEXINGTON, ILL.) are returning starters. A third starter from last year’s 23-8 squad which was runner-up for the NCAA College Division national championship, Howard Humes (EVANSVILLE), will be unable to play this year due to a pending knee operation. Other lettermen include parttime starting forward and junior Don Weirich (MIDDLEBURY), senior center Ken Hass (SOUTH BEND) and junior guard Rod Hervey (CLOVERDALE). Included among the other return, ees are senior center Jerry Novak (HAMMOND), junior guard Dan Chitwood (UNIONVILLE)and junior forward Tom Zellers (LOGANSPORT). The two junior college transfers trying to make the team are forwards Tom Thompson (INDIANAPOLIS) and Bill Rogers (INDIANAPOLIS). Thompsor played his junior college bal] at Edison JC at Ft. Meyers, Fla., while Rogers played his at Vincennes JC in Vincennes, Indiana. Among the seven sophomores are George Pillow (INDIANAPOLIS), Greg Rtichie (LAWRENCEVILLE, ILL.),Steve Brett (LOOGOOTEE), Bob Barker (WESTPORT), Paul Siebenmorgan (TERRE HAUTE), Steve Fleschner (TERRE HAUTE), and Larry Frye (WASHINGTON). Stauffer, just starting his second year after leading the Sycamores to within 20 minutes of a national title last winter, says, “There are a lot of answers to be found about this team...one of the primary problems facing us is finding rebounding strength.” Does this mean Indiana State will play more of a control game? Stauffer answered, “We’ll still run with the ball whenever we get a chance, however, this will probably come from interceptions, steals and mistakes the other team makes rather than grabbing the ball off the board and going.” He adds, “We’ll be quicker this year, but not as big. We’ll continue to play pressure basketball, keeping pressure on our opponents on offense and defense.” Hass and Novak, neither of whom have a great deal of varsity experience, and Siebenmorgan, a sophomore, are the tallest at 6-6. Behind them come Hardman and Thompson at 6-5 and Weirich and Rogers at 6-4. As starters last winter, Copper and Hardman ranked 2-3 in scoring behind All American Jerry Newsom with 12.4 and 10.9 averages respectively. Weirich had a 3.3 average in a reserve role, while Hervey averaged 2.8 coming off the bench. Pillow, Barker and Ritchie led the ESU freshman team to a 15-1 record. Pillow pumped in an average of 19.4, while Barker and Ritchie had scoring averages of 17.8 and 14.8 respectively. All three have good chances of breaking into the Sycamores’starting lineup this fail. » Stauffer says the first two weeks of practice will be devoted to “basics” and that the Sycamores will scrimmage every Saturday morning. “We’ll have officials and run the clock and the public is invited to attend any of our scrimmages or practices Stauffer says.
