Area cage teams not true to form
TUESDAY NIGHT’S HARDWOOD CONTEST between Cloverdale and Fillmore had a much different outcome than expected, as Cloverdale chalked up an easy 91-64 win for their third straight in as many starts. For Fillmore fans, it was a hard pill to swallow, since their Cardinals had shown poise and balanced scoring in winning their first two cuttings of the ‘68-69 cage season, plus the fact that the Clovers were a strong county rival. That last factor is alone enough reason for the defeat leaving a not so pleasant taste. After the game, Cardinal Coach, Darrell Durham commented in his office, “Well, there goes our undefeated season.” That may sound a little too optimistic at this early stage of the campaign, but taking a look at what Durham has playing for him gives the statement a new look. To begin with, Durham inherited five lettermen with which to build a team from, and among the five is Dan Puckett, a 5-10 guard, who knows how to handle that job and does so with precision. In addition to ranking as one of the area’s better guards, he also knows where the basket is and can drop the ball through with dependability. In Tuesday night’s game, Puckett, only a junior this year, tossed in 12-points to bet in the double figures along with teammates Dan Clark who netted 22, and John Tharp who contributed 16. The Tuesday night fracas was a wild affair, with a grand total of 48 personals being whistled against the two teams — 24 on each, and turnovers and numerous violations haunting Durham’s guys. But, on the other hand, you can’t take anything away from Cloverdale who racked up the 91-points, and employed a pretty stiff defense which partly made the Fillmore quintet committ these turnovers. Clovers a deceiving team? AL TUCKER’S CLOVERS ALSO DISPLAYED their speed which brought this comment from the Putnam County mentor. “They’re actually not as fast as they looked tonight, but they did get the job done.” Maybe looks are deceiving, but the Clovers were not the least bit deceiving in pouring it on their cross-county rivals. Tucker didn’t say so, and he didn’t need to, because the expression on his face told you that he wouldn’t mind it one bit if the Clovers kept on deceiving people and teams the way they did Tuesday night. The Clovers will be idle until the 23rd of this month when they travel to Reelsville, currently undefeated as of now, and that may be another tough test that Tucker’s gang will be put up against. As for Fillmore, they take to the road Friday night and will be paired with another undefeated squad and county rival, Bainbridge. The Cardinals were obviously rattled Tuesday night, but they have a chance to redeem themselves against Bainbridge which, it should be pointed out, is no patsy. They also have the makings of a top - caliber team. No TV for IU Saturday ABC TELEVISION HAD ANNOUNCED earlier that it planned to carry the lU-Minnesota game from Bloomington this Saturday. Those $500,000 plans for the scheduled broadcast, which is what the network shells out for televising a Big Ten game, vanished when the never-say-die H o o s i e r s lost a powerful Michigan team at IU in a homecoming clash on Oct. 19 by a slim margin of five points, 27-22. Now the ABC people have loaded up their cameras and are headed for Ann Arbor, Mich., where they will carry the Michigan - Wisconsin game. The reason for the switch, according to network officials, was due to the fact that Michigan had not been on the tube this year and they were also unbeaten, giving them a shot at the Big Ten Crown plus a trip to the Rose Bowl. There is, however, one obstacle in the Wolverines paths, and that is Woody Hayes’ unbeaten Buckeyes. Michigan and OSU meet in the final game of the season next Saturday at Columbus, and that title and bowl-deciding clash may be the “Wild Card” game carried on ABC. No official word yet, and there won’t be until after this Saturday’s games are over, but “spies” have reported seeing ABC color TV cameras with a Columbus delivery tag on them. As for IU losing out on a second TV appearance this season. ABC figures the Cream and Crimson clad gridders to be one of the nation’s strongest teams around next year, opening the way for two appearances next season.

Olympic Committee, says athletes took illegal money
NEW YORK (UPI)-The U.S. Olympic Committee and the Amateur Athletic Union agree that some hanky-panky went on among Amercan track and field athletes in the Mexico City Olympic Games but the two groups can’t get together on what to do next about those taking illegal payoffs. Avery Brundage, president of the International Olympic Committee, Wednesday accepted the likelihood there were payoffs as high as $7,500 to “eight or 10” members of the U.S. track squad, but said the next step, including possible revocation of medals, was up to the AAU. But an AAU official said his group must first have a report from the U.S. Olympic Committee on its investigation of the alleged payoffs. A USOC official said, “We’re interested in getting evidence on it, but at this time we’re not doing anything on it.” Aware of Reports Brundage said his group was aware of reports of illegal payoffs during the games in Mexico City last month. The 80-year-old IOC president said the matter would be taken up first by the AAU, which controls track and field athletes in the U.S., then brought up at the 1969 meeting of the Internation, al Amateur Athletic Federation. Brundage said the AAU has the authority to strip the individuals involved of their medals, if desired. Ollan Cassell, an AAUofficial, said “Our hands are tied" until the AAU gets the USOC report, which was begun in Mexico City. “We cannot do anything until we receive that report. They have not presented that kind of progress report,” Cassell said. The U.S. Olympic Committee has jurisdiction for the invest!gation, he said, because the reported payoffs came while the athletes were under USOC control. Brundage said his IOC would come in only on general survey of the situation and the necessity of controlling identification marks on equipment of any kind. Cashed Travelers Checks Roby said in Birmingham, Ala. Monday that several American athletes cashed travelers’ checks for amounts
ranging up to $7,500 during the Olympic Games. Roby said there still was not enough evidence to take action against those involved— Even though he knew their names— because “Since those checks are the same as cash it is impossible to pin down the people who were making the payoffs and just what the payoffs were for.”
The Mexican government turned over some of the used checks and they were traced to West German banks, Roby said. Rumors during the games implicated a West German shoe firm in the payoffs. Roby did not name any firms. Roby said the travelers’ checks apparently were issued blank, and the athletes filled in their names, then countersigned
them when they cashed them. One U.S. athlete took his track shoe to an Olympic shop and found $500 stuffed inside when he got it back, Roby said. “I still have the money. Ten crisp $50 bills all numbered in sequence,” Roby added.
NEW YORK (UPI-Southern California, Ohio State and Penn State, the nation’s top-ranking college football teams, are favored by at least a touchdown to maintain their perfect records through another weekend. The Trojans have by far the tougher task as they battle for the Pacific Eight title with Oregon State. However, the combination of running back O.J. Simpson and quarterback Steve Sogge is enough to rate Southern Cal as a 6V2 -point choice over the Beavers at Los Angeles. Ohio State is an 18-point favorite over Big Ten rival Iowa and Penn State is a whopping 20-point choice over Maryland. . The only member of the top 10 which ranks as an underdog is No. 6 Missouri, which is minus one to Oklahoma. The Sooners upset Kansas last week. Fourth-ranked Michigan is a prohibitive choice over winless Wisconsin, fifth-ranked Georgia is 2V2 points over Auburn, the No. 9 team, seventh-ranked Kansas is 15 points over Kansas State, eighth-ranked Texas is 14 points over Texas Christian and lOth-ranked Tennessee is seven points over Mississippi. Despite the loss of quarter, back Terry Hanratty for the season, Notre Dame is an off. the-board choice over Georgia Tech. In other games by section:

Representatives for Kansas City, San Diego and Oakland participated in the coin flip to decide pairings for the playoff should extra games become necessary to determine the division championship. Kansas City currently leads with an 8-2 record while the Chargers and Raiders are a half game behind with 7-2 records. In the event of a two-way tie, games will be played off on Dec. 21 or 22, depending on television commitments. Kansas City would play at Oakland, San Diego would play at Kansas City, or San Diego would play at Oakland, depending on which two teams were involved in the playoff.

Podolak UPI back of week IOWA CITY, Iowa (UPI) - Backs like Ed Podolak, observed Iowa offensive coach Bud Tynes, can “drive the defense crazy.” Podolak was named UP Midwest Back of the Week for his record • smashing performance Saturday while leading Iowa to a 68-34 romp over Northwestern at Iowa City. Podolak was termed an “amazing runner” by Tynes, who said; “If he couldn’t pass at all he would be great, but put the threat of a forward pass in the hands of a great runner, and you drive the defense crazy.” Podolak, who amassed 286 yards rushing against the Wildcats to establish a Big Ten single-game record, started developing his passing skill while playing quarterback in grade school at Atlantic, Iowa. He ran the Iowa offense as quarterback the last two seasons, and was converted to fulltime tailback only four games ago. The Hawks have won three of those last four. His ground • gobbling per. formance against Northwestern erased a Big Ten mark of 268 yards rushing, set in 1966.
