Plymouth Continues NLC Lead With 20-8 Victory

Plymouth preserved their unblemished record Friday by downing a very spirited Warrior team. The game was played in very adverse conditions as the rain and cold wind swept through players and fans alike. Both teams fought each other very evenly in the first quarter with neither team being able to mount a scoring threat. The second quarter found Plymouth’s Nelson Chipman sliding across the goal line for the first scoring of the game on a 26yard pass reception for quarKevin Weilder with the PAT failing, giving Plymouth a 60 lead. Wawasee, moving the ball well, was finally forced to punt and once again Plymouth crashed in this time on a nine-yard run by Rick Cramer with the PAT failing. The Warriors, executing a very fine running game moved the ball to Plymouth’s four-yard line only to see their fine drive stimied by an interception in their end zone giving Plymouth a 12-0 lead. With ending of halftime, so came the end of the down pour Wawasee finally found its own pot of gold on a Tim Blue to Pat Spearman touchdown pass. The extra points attempt was successful on a pass from Tim Blue to Tom Fribley, who undoubtedlyplayed one of the finest games of his career. With the complexion of the contest changing quickly it seemed to all present, the Warriors could and would pull the game out of the fire if they could only hold Plymouth on downs after their score. Unfortunately, it was not to be, as Plymouth came up with the big play, as they have done so many times this year The Warriors saw their hopes fade as Plymouth's fleet footed back Gary Myers found a big bold in the Warriors' line and out ran everybody for a 66-yard

touchdown. With time running out the Warriors again out preformed the Rockies as they moved quickly downfield to Plymouth’s one yard line, only to once again be denied the score they earned on a fourth down play with time finally running out. The 20-8 score in this reporter’s estimation is very misleading, considering the facts and statistics, the loss could have easily been a big victory in the Warriors’ column, not taking a thing away from Plymouth’s fine football squad, just trying to

I am tempted to say it like it is: Wisconsin 21, striped shirts 14, Indiana 29. Even with all of this I.U. could have won had they eliminated some fundamental mistakes. Their 22 point second half comeback was great and took guts. Take a look at the rerun of the disputed touchdown and the two fumbles. Had they been called as the film shows would be correct — who knows. The refs have a tough job and they are catching it so will say it — Wisconsin 35 and I.U. 29. A tremendous football game to watch and a lot of guts to the Big Red. Look out Ohio State. St. Pierre has a bad ankle but Stew Odell may be a big big surprise. He clips a fast hundred, a 51 second 440 and puts the shot 57 feet. All of this says athlete. St. Pierre is the great one but Odell is really coming. He did not get in freshman or spring football but watch for him. His improvement is marked each week and he has the mental attitude. Came back strong from dropping a pass with daylight in the 4th quarter. You have to atknirelhis There wab a big influxof new offensive linemen at times. There were instances in which there were all underclassmen in the offensive line except at tight end. Boarman and Shumaker did a great job as did Heaton in backup along with soph center Stikurs who continues to improve. This was a lot offensive improvement along with better games from Seniors Bove and Kruyer Spungeon the junior tackle is a walk-on and gets better as the season progresses. Charlie Byrnes, tabbed as AllAmerican material had his first great game at I.U. He has a hamstring pull but hamstrings are more painful than crippling. If he learns to live with it he now appears to be on the way. His block was a big factor in our first touchdown. The defense spent too much time reading press clippings or

something but I feel they showed fight and determination. The long run killed us and the kickoff return has now beat us two of the 4 games we have lost? • There is one certaintity. McNulty is now number one without any question. This “no question” status will help him improve. He took a physical beating but always came back. The freshman quarterback fight doesn’t loom as big in next year’s plans but you should still see that group of quarterbacks. The frosh got badly walloped — but awful. It was a bad second half breakdown at certain key positions. We did not recruit by position but by ballplayer. Illinois is in last place in the big ten with three straight unbeaten freshman teams. Mike Flanagan, Matt Szymakowski and others — it takes more space. Is Flanagan better than Butcher? Come see for yourself. Why would 96 schools want Szymakowski — obvious. “More to come.” Wawasee 7th In NLC Cross Country The Wawasee Warriors under coach Tom Rankin placed fourth in the Northern Lakes Conference cross country meet held last Thursday at Plymouth. Manchester was first with 41, Rochester was second with 69 and Bremen was third with 78. The leaders were followed by Warsaw, Plymouth, Concord, Wawasee and North Wood. Steve Hipsher placed 14th for the Warriors. He was followed by Chuck Rapp 21, Doug Bushong 44, Mark Vanlaningham 51, Mike Zurcher 52 and Toby Popenfoose 54.

Area Teams In Scoreless Tie The Syracuse and Milford sixth grade flag football teams played to a scoreless tie last Thursday on the Milford field. Both teams threatened to score, but neither could come up with the right combination. Milford’s opportunity came in the second quarter when they were able to march to the Syracuse seven-yard line after which Syracuse took over on downs. Syracuse, late in the fourth quarter, backed Milford to its own five-yard line but two fumbles and a dropped punt stoppechthe Yellow Jackets. For Syracuse, full-back Stan Kroh was called on for 17 carries for a total of 65-yards. Quarterback Brian Smith threw to Jimmy Glon for one of his three attempts. Defensive honors this week go to Jimmy Glon, end; Rick McKibben, end; Jamie Knisley, tackle; and Randy Clayton, linebacker; with 5,3, 3, and 3, flag pulls respectively. This leaves the three corporation schools with the following records: Milford 1-1-0, North Webster 0-0-2, and Syracuse 1-1-0.
