Sycamores tough defense stops DePauw 41-17 in last meeting

TERRE HAUTE--DePauw University’s Tigers found the going too rough Saturday afternoon as they fell to Indiana State University, 41-17, the last time the two teams will meet on the gridiron.

1968 Grid campaign

Indiana high school football campaign ends today with a Veterans’ Day clash between Gerstmeyer and Wiley in Terre Haute and Gerstmeyer favored to retain its Western Conference crown. The Black Cats of Woody Roloff are unbeaten in league competition but have lost to Harrison and North of Evansville and to high-ranking Bloomington, which last Friday registered a perfect season. Wiley is 2-7 for the season. Last Saturday Evansville Reitz humiliated hapless city foe Central, 85-0, as Reitz coach Herman Byers closed out an illustrious, 27-year career as Panther mentor with a record of 190-51-15 that includes 14 city titles and 13 Southern Confer, ence championships. Craig Deig scored three touchdowns and Galen Avery two and passed for another. In another SIAC finale, Evansville Memorial doubled the score on New Albany, 40-20, Ken Garvey scoring on four pass plays ranging from 40 to 47 yards and running back a kickoff 87 yards for another

tally.

In the North Central Confer, ence, Greg Callahan scored on runs of 28 and 37 yards to give Muncie Central a 14-13 decision

over Lafayette.

The Sycambres’ devastating defense was in tip-top shape Saturday, allowing the Tigers only 49-yards in rushing. DePauw’s defense couldn’t quite match ISU’s, as they allowed the former member of the ICC a total of 369-yards in rushing. State ground their way into paydirt twice in the opening quarter and made one of the two extra points attempted for a 13 to nothing lead at the end of the first period. In the second quarter each team crossed the goal line, with the Tigers getting on the scoreboard with 2:21 remaining in the first half on 19-yard pass from quarter back Roy Pottenger to left end Scott Ralston. The extra point attempt was good, making the score 19-7 in favor of ISU’s. In the first half, DePauw wasn’t able to crack the Sycamores’ harrassing defense, and finished the first half with minus sevenyards in the rushing department. It was a different story in the opening minutes of the third quarter, as the Tigers’ rejuvenated defense forced a fumble in the ISU endzone which resulted in a safety, making the scoreboard read 19-9 with less than five-minutes gone in the quarter. Taking the Indiana State kickoff and marched to the Sycamores’ 33-yard line before John

Sacramento fumbled with defensive back Mike Russell recover,

ing for ISU.

After watching the Sycamores cross their goal line three times after the game-turning fumble, the Tigers scored their last touchdown with 3:19 left in the game on another pass from Pottenger to Ralston on a 49-yard pass play. The Tigers chose to go for two points and did just that, putting the final score 4119 in favor Indiana State. State’s Mike Russell’s three pass interceptions boosted his season total to nine, setting a new record at ISU. The Sycamores also chalked up their seventh win in succession for another record,

and erased another mark for rushing in a single game. DePauw will go to Wabash College this Saturday for the annual Monon Bell game in the 76th renewal of the oldest continuous college series west of the Alleghenies. The all-time series is tied at 34 wins for each team in addition to seven ties. Wabash won last year in an upset on a muddy field, 7-0. The Tigers may be without the services Saturday of defensive linebacker Bill Scaife who is on crutches with a knee sprain. Wayne Schmidt, who was knocked out in Saturday’s contest, was reported to be all right Sunday by trainer Russ Miller.

Bainbridge posts 2nd win, 77 -56 over Wells

JAMESTOWN - - Bainbridge High School scored their Saturday night opponent, Granville Wells, in every category in coasting to their second win, 7756, in as many starts. The Pointers jumped out to a 24 to 16 first quarter lead, and increased it to a 45 to 32 margin by halftime.

Three BHS cagers scored in double figures, with Mike Miller leading the way with 17. Right behind him were teammates Fred Cox with 16 and Mike Elliott tossing in 13. Coach Pat Rady termed the game a “Good team effort”, and was optimistic about the Pointers’ chances for this sea-

Any veteran of World War II Seabee service can sum up the situation today after the New York Giants achieved their greatest victory since beating the Chicago Bears in the 1956 National Football League cham-

pionship game.

giants to within one game of the Cowboys in the Capitol Division race and set up a possible “game of the year” for Dec. 15 when the teams meet at New York in their final game of the season. The Giants are now in second place with a 6-3 record compared to the first-place Cowboys’ 7-2 mark. But the hitch is that the Cowboys’ fourgame schedule between now and Dec. 15 is a “softie” compared to the Giants’ fourgame slate. The Cowboys play the Washington Redskins (4-5) twice and the Chicago Bears (5-4) and Pittsburgh Steelers (2-6-1) once each while the Giants play, in order, the Philadelphia Eagles (0-9), Los Angeles Rams (8-1), Cleveland Browns (6-3) and St. Louis Cardinals (5-3-1). The Cowboys’ four opponents have a combined record of 11-15-1 compared to the Giants’ exponents’ combined mark of 19-16-1. Tarkenton, Gogolak Star Fran Tarkenton and Pete Gogolak were the heroes Sunday when the Cowboys were 17-point favorites. Tarkenton ran 22 yards for one touchdown, teamed with Homer Jones on a 60-yard touchdown pass and also passed five yards for a TD to Joe Morrison. Even so, the Giants had no better than a 2121 standoff until Gogolak’s fourth-period field goals of 25 and 10 yards produced the victory. Don Meredith completed 19 of 33 passes for 256 yards and two Dallas touchdowns but overthrew on several key occasions and was intercepted by Carl Lockhart when he had Lance Retzel free at the New York 20-

yardline with 2:14 to go in the game. The Cleveland Browns took over sole possession of first place in the Century Division when they beat the New Orleans Saints, 35-17, and the St. Louis Cardinals were tied by the PittsburghSteelers,28-28. Bill Nelsen threw four touchdown passes—two to Leroy Kelly and one each to Paul Warfield and Milt Morin—to lead the Browns to their sixth victory against three losses. Kelly, who gained 127 yards in 17 carries, also scored on a oneyard plunge and set up the Browns’ final touchdown with a 65-yard run in the fourth period. Dick shiner threw three touchdown passes and Roy Jefferson scored on an 80-yard punt return as the Steelers led 21-0 at halftime and 28-21 after three periods. The Cardinals (5-3-1) rallied for the tie, however, when John Roland scored with 47 seconds left after a pass interference penalty put the ball on the one. Two Divisions Deadlocked The Baltimore Colts and Los Angeles Rams remained tied in the Coastal Division race while the Minnesota Vikings and| Chicago Bears stayed dead, locked in the Central Division. Preston Pearson’s 102-yard kickoff return and Earl Morrail’s passing led the Colts to a 27-10 victory over the Detroit Lions while the Rams edged the Atlanta Falcons 17-10 on a 10yard fourth-period touchdown pass from Roman Gabriel to Jack Snow. Bill Brown scored on two short plunges in the first half as the Vikings handed the Green Bay Packers their fifth loss, 1410.

son. “They played agoodgame,” said Rady, “and I hope they can continue to play like this.” “There were some mistakes that will have to be corrected, but it’s to be expected in the early stages of the season,” Rady concluded. The real story of the game is in the rebounding department, as the Pointers out-grabbed the Rockets 48 to 28. Top rebounder for Bainbridge was 6-foot, 111/2 inch center Fred Cox who hauled down 21. From the field, the Pointers canned 30 of 65 attempts, and sank half of their charity tosses, 17 of 34. For the Rockets, Ed Ferguson was the top point-producer with 15. The Rockets made good on 23 of their 59 shots from the field, and also added 10 free throws. Bainbridge will next face Fillmore at home Friday night and each team will be putting their unblemished 2-0 record on the line in what looks to be an early season test of power for both teams. In Saturday night’s B-Team game, Bainbridge lost by a slim

six-points, 46-40. BAINBRIDGE (77)

UPI Sports Writer Joe Namath, taking a cue from Kansas City’s Len Daw. son, established an American Football League record Sunday that would seem befitting, ordinarily, for the quarterback of the cellar-dweller—certainly not the league, leading outfit. For the sixth successive game, he went without throwing a touchdown pass. The result? New York's Jets, directed by Namath, chalked up a 26-7 victory over Eastern Division runnerup Houston and virtually clinched a spot in the Dec. 29 AFL title game. It was their fourth win in a row and gave Coaches sing the blues CHICAGO (UPI)—Conference coaches apparently were either licking their wounds or savor, ing victories early this week, and few had much to say. Indiana coach Johnny Pont sounded a happy note, however. He had good reason to do so. His Hoosiers used an 82-yard drive in the last three minutes of play Saturday to score a comeback 24-22 win over Michigan State. Pont said his sophomore quarterback, Greg Brown, showed “nothing but courage” in the 11th hour win. Brown scored the winning touchdown himself on a one-yard plunge. Illinois coach Jim Valek was not quite so happy. But he, too, had good reason for his emotion. In the mini's case it was a 36-0 whitewashing at the hands of Michigan. “We had a lot of trouble making the short yardage when we needed it,” Valek said. “They have interior line speed and get the ball quickly, and their defense is very active.” Alex Agase, Northwestern’s guiding hand, was also singing the blues after his team’s 68-34 loss to Iowa.

By KURT FREUDENTHAL INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The word “guts” best describes Indiana’s football Hoosiers. They were a gutty bunch last year, losing only one game en route to their first Rose Bowl appearance and they’re virtually a carbon copy this year, though beaten twice and third in the Big Ten standings. They weren’t “supposed” to win at Michigan State last Saturday and appeared doomed when they lost star halfback John Isenbarger, along with running mate Bobby Pernell and quarterback Harry Gonso to injuries—Isenbarger for the season. But nobody had reckoned with sophomore signal-caller Greg Brown, who rallied the underdog Hoosiers and scored two touchdowns himself, the winning marker with just 52 seconds left, for a 24-22 cliffhanger. Indiana closes its home season Saturday seeking revenge against Minnesota, its lone

them a 3V2 -game margin over the Oilers with just five games to play. Dawson set another passing record—or is it an “un-record?” — three weeks ago when he threw only three passes, completing two, in a 24-10 Kansas City victory over Oakland in the tight Western Division race. With both New York and Kansas City sailing along at the top of their respective divisions, who is going to find fault with how many times they pass or how many TD passes they throw, so long as they keep winning? Chiefs Top Cincinnati In other AFL games Sunday, Kansas City kept its slim onehalf game lead in the Western Division by defeating Cincinnati, 16-9; Oakland defeated Denver, 43-7; San Diego beat Boston, 2717 and Miami defeated Buffalo,

21-17.

Bill Mathis scored both Jet touchdowns—on runs of twe yards in the first quarter and one yard in the third quarter— but Namath’s passing set them up. He connected on two passes for 62 of the 65 yards in the first drive and on one pass for 27 of the 35 yards in the second drive. Jim Turner kicked four field goals and two extra points for New York, giving him 97 points for the season, a team record. Bobby Holmes’ 27-yard touchdown run midway through the fourth quarter gave Kansas City its 16-9 victory over Cincinnati, after the Chiefs’ Jan Stenerud and Cincinnati’s Dale Livingston had kicked three field goals

each.

B o s t o n’s Gino Cappelletti kicked a field goal and two extra points and scored on a 19yard pass to raise his career scoring total to 1,004 points and join Lou Groza of Cleveland as the only players in pro history to break the 1,000-point barrier.

regular season conqueror last time, while Purdue, its Big Ten title chances wrecked at Minnesota, 27-13, invades Michigan State and Notre Dame is home to Georgia Tech. Purdue fell into a 27-0 halftime hole at Minneapohs and never recovered while Notre Dame overwhelmed lowly Pittsburgh, 56-7, without the ailing Terry Hanratty. Sub quarterback Joe Theismann scored twice and passed for two more scores while Coley O’Brien crossed Pitt’s endzone three times in the mismatch. Valparaiso, meanwhile, was home with its first undisputed Indiana Collegiate Conference crown since 1954 following its 24-7 win over Evansville, and Manchester has at least a share of the Hoosier Conference title after belting Frankline, 26-13. Jim Andrews showed the way with three touchdowns. Anderson can tie Manchester for the No. 1 spot in the HCC Saturday by beating Taylor’s 1967 champs. Hanover, also tied for the loop lead going into Saturday’s program, was upended by Indiana Central, 18-13, Bill Tutterow scoring the winning touchdown with 50 seconds left. Manchester, Ball State, Butler, St. Joseph’s and Rose Poly ended their seasons last weekend and the other state college teams will do so this Saturday except the “Big Three.” Butler spanked Wabash in their “Iron Key” battle, 26-9, and escaped registering its worst season ever under veteran coach Tony Hinkle. The Bulldogs finished 2-7. Ball State (5-4) romped over 5t. Joe (1-8), 47-6, Amos Van Pelt scoring three times and Willard Rice passing for 265 yards and two scores. Rose Poly’s losing streak was extended to 10 over two years by Earlham, 27-12. Other windup games Saturday include Earlham at Indiana Central in the HCC, DePauw at Wabash, Indiana State at Western Illinois, Evansville at Murray State, Hanover at Centre, Wheaton at Valpo and George, town at Franklin. Jim Brumfield crashed over for three touchdowns in Indiana State’s 41-17 spanking of DePauw, the Sycamores’ record seventh consecutive victory. Elsewhere, Taylor bowed to Al. bion, Mich., 27-14, and Anderson was blasted by Defiance, Ohio, 52-12. Lakers reverse, wins 5 By United Press International It didn’t take Los Angeles long to unveil its new dynasty. After dropping three of their first five games with a lineup consisting of Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor and Jerry West, the Lakers now have won five in a row and seven of their last eight to take a comfortable lead in the 'Western Division of the National Basketball Association. The latest victory was a breeze as Los Angeles routed the New York Knickerbockers 130-109 Sunday night.
