I. C.’s running express pulls

86-80 upset on DePauw

By MIKK CIIRON Sports Kditor INDIANAPOLIS—Indiana Central College engineered an effective game of ball here last night to upset 12th rated DePauw University 86 - 80, despite the 25-point production of DePauw’s Tom McCormick. The Tigers had moved into the prestigious 12th slot in the UPI poll earlier this week after having been tied for 19th the week before. DePauw was also hopeful of coming out of the contest with a victory which would have sent them into the Worcester, Mass., Holiday tournament with a 4-3 record instead of the now losing \ 3-4 mark. The I.C. Greyhounds made

up for its visible lack of heighth with its full-steam-ahead running game that caught the Tigers snoozing on offense.

The ’Hounds jumped off to a 2-0 lead on a quick two-pointer before McCormick, practically a one-man scoring act in the first half, came up with two quick buckets of his own to give the Tigers the lead,4-2.

John Beebe, took advantage of the situation at hand and proceeded to put the I.C. express in the lead for good, 22-20.

on 12 of 18 tosses from the charity strip.

That three-point play was one of the five such called plays which dearly hurt the fluailing Tigers in their attempt for victory No. four.

The Tigers, unable to contain the ‘Hounds’ running game, were not able to put together any serious drive for the balance of the game until

Although getting off 79 shots, DePauw couldn’t fare as well in either department. From the floor, the Tigers made only 30 of 79 launches and were able to count but 20 of 30 free throw tries.

The hosts quickly tied the game and moved in front themselves before Dave Browning hit from out in front at the 15:04 mark in the opening half to put DePauw back in front for the last time. Each team took their turn dribbling the ball, I.C. giving

With the ‘Hounds leading 20-18, McCormick was fed the ball and cashed in on his toss to give DePauw its last 20-20 tie, in the game at the 10:22 mark. From there, a quick , allaround player by the name of

The smaller but scrappier Indianapolis team continued to pull away, although not building up any insurrmountable lead, and led by six, 49-43 at the half.

DePauw is now 3-4 on the young season and will begin play in the Worcester, Mass., Holiday Tournament Dec. 27-29. Holiday ' Tournament Dec. 27-29.

Jets’Joe Namath named to UPI’s AFL All-Stars

NEW YORK (UPI)—Quarter, back Joe Namath who led the New York Jets to the Eastern Division title was named today for the first time or. the 1938 United Press International’s American Football League AllStar team. Namath, elected the Jets’ captain on offense, completed 137 o' 330 passes fo a 49.2 percentage and ovi-’ - -. -.me the public razzing which followed his failure to throw a touchdown pass during a six-game stretch. Two other New York players were named to the 1968 AFL’s first team All-Stars George Sauer gained recognition at one of the wide receiver berths and

Gerry Philbin drew two-thirls o" the 30 votes cast by a panel of league experts to secure a defensive end post Oakland, the 1967 AFL champion, placed seven players on the 22 man squad to dominate the elite selections. The Raiders, who meet the Kansas City Chiefs Sunday in a playoff for Lie Western Division title, have three men on the offensive squad and four on defense. Jim Otto, at center, guard Gene Upshaw and hard driving back Hewritt Dixon collected the most votes for their positions. On defense, the writers picked tackle Dan

Birdwell, middle linebacker Dan Connor s, cornerback Willie Brown and safety Dave Grayson. Also chosen for the first team offense were San Diego’s Ron Mix at tackle and Lance Alworth as a wide receiver, Jim Tyrer of Kansas City at tackle, Jim Whalen of Bos‘i'. .1 ‘'ight end and fabulous rookia Paul Robinson of Cincinnati at a running back slot. Robinson rushed for over a thousand yeards, only the second AFL freshman to accomplish this ground gaining milestone. Three Kansas City defenders were elected to 'he team— tackle Buck Buchanan, linebacker Bobby Bell and safety John Robinson. Others were end Rich Jackson of Denver and Houston’s George Webster at linebacker and Miller Farr at cornerback. The chiefs allowed only four touchdowns on the ground during the entire season and tis performance was reflected in the writers’ choices at the defending positions. Miami and Buffalo failed to place a man on the first team.

When play resumed, DePauw’s Larry Johnson came by way of Todd Jones’ wrist and was called for the personal. On a one-and-one situation, Jones missed the first attempt, but teammate Dave Stillabower rebounded the missed free throw and tossed it back in for the crucial basket. Johnson then scored himself with :24 seconds remaining to again cut the gap to six-points, 84-78, but two free throws by I.C. and another two-point-er by Johnson closed out the scoring for both teams which found DePauw six-points shy, 86-80. When the Tigers had dipped to their first 14-point deficit, 79-65 with but 3:49 to go, Tiger coach Elmer McCall yanked four of his five starters, and the subs, which worked very well, brought about the comeback. For the game, the winner clicked on 37 of 82 attempts from the field and cashed in

No plans for involvement with steam power

COLLEGE FOOTBALL was featured by the biggest upset of the year, Ohio State shutting out Purdue and stopping All-American Leroy Keyes (No. 23).

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI)— Andy Granatelli said Thursday he doesn’t plan to get involved with steam-powered engines in 1969. Granatelli, who lost a twoyear duel with the United States Auto Club over his turbocars, said his company has been working on a steampowered machine and a Wankel rotating combustion machine. Tony Hulman, Indianapolis Motor Speedway president, said

Wednesday entry forms will be made available for steamengines for the Indianapolis “500,” but only conditionally. Hulman said tests would have to be made to determine whether the steam machines are

competitive with the more con. ventional piston engines. USAC rules do not currently include steam engine specifications, but do cover the rotating combustion engines. Granatelli entered turbinepowered cars in the last two Memorial Day Classics here only to lose thelead each time in the waning laps due to mechanical troubles. After each of the past two races, USAC altered rules to make turbines more competitive with piston cars. After the first change of the rules, Granatelli went to court but lost. After the second change earlier this year, he announced he would not enter a turbine in next year’s race. William P. Lear of the Lear Motor Corp. announced plans to enter a steam-powered racer at Indianapolis in 1969. Granatelli said he thinks “it would be vastly unfair to allow steam cars to race at Indy by last-minute edict after my turbocars, always built to the very letter of USAC rules, were banned by imposition of the impossible 11.9-inch air inlet rule.” He said he “would not blame competitors for protesting any car built completely outside the rule book.”

10 but have sui'in’ised everybody — expecially rivals—by bidding for national recognition with six straight victories. They made No. 6 look easy at Champaign, 111., Thursday night when they crushed high-scoring Tulane 105-71. Tulane went into the game with an average of 98.8 points a game but trailed 52-38 at halftime and made only seven field goals in the second half. Dave Scholz, Illinois’ 6-foot, 8inch center-forward, scored 24 points, Mike Price and Fred Miller had 12 each and Greg Jackson added 11 for Illinois while Johnny Arthur, Cary Habig and John Sutter had 15 each for Tulane. The loss was Tulane’s third against five victories. It was a big night for Big 10 teams as Iowa drubbed North Dakota 91-58 and Northwestern defeated Ohio University 89-80. Coach Ralph Miller was bedded with the flu but his Iowa team connected on nearly 60 per cent of its shots and had five players in double figures in its easy victory over North Dakota. The Hawkeyes spurted to a 30-11 lead with 6:09 left in the first half and led 42-27 at halftime. John Johnson was the big gun for the winners with 18 points. Northwestern scored its fifth victory in six games despite a 43-point performance by Ohio University’s Gerald McKee. Northwestern led 44-36 at the half but twice led by only two points during the second half. Dan Davis paced Northwestern with 22 points. Unbeaten Drake staged a 19-0 breakout during a six-minute span in the second half to beat Iowa State 81-71 at Ames, Iowa. Willie Wise had 17 points and Dolph Pulliam 15 for Drake gvhile Aaron Jenkins sparked Iowa State with 22. In other games on the
