Louis (night) By BOB MNNINGER Tim Sport Wrltmr The only conference game scheduled this week in the Central Indiana Conference is Peru at Hartford City. In other is at-Plymouth, Tipton hosts''Muncie South Anderson Madison Heights travels to Elwood arid Huntington is at Marion. The top game on the card will be the Huntington-Marion scrap. Even though Young's Vikings blew the big one at Wabash last Friday, 14-13, they should be set ready to go all out to upset the Norm Central Conference Giants, who are ranked thirteenth in the state in the latest UPI poll. Wabash is to make it five in a row' at Plymouth.

The Apaches have taken Warsaw, 19-14, Peru, 24-7, Alexandria, 15-13, and Huntington 14-13, without a loss. Tipton will try to rise above the .500 mark when it hosts Muncie South Side. The Blue Devils opened with losses to Carmel and Huntington but roared back with victories over Hartford City 55-0 and Anderson Madison Heights, 3926. Last week's game with Madison Heights is one of the Tipton fans won't forget for a long time. In the fourth quarter, Danny Cochran lost control of the football on his own 45 and Madison Heights, who trailed 39-26, suddently became a threat.

'But sophomore Mike Wall intercepted a pass on the next play and Tipton took over on their own 18. But the ball wasn't through with its magic act. Louis Guenther charged into the middle of-the line for two yards- only to "have the football dance from his fingertips, Madison Heights controlling once again. Height's quarterback Jack Taylor fell back and once more tried to hit his favorite target Lonnie Nichols. Unfortunately the ball only trickled from his hands as someone knocked it loose just as he started to throw.

Mike Wall recovered the fumble and Tipton put the game away. Peru will try to find a winning combination when it invades winless Hartford City. The Tigers won the first contest of the year over Logansport but since then have lost three in a row to Wabash, Huntington, and Delphi. Peru came as close as a team can come to winning last week. Steve Williams inched Teams needed The Kokomo City Basketball League is two short of its goal of eight teams according to league director Robert Laytpn.

He asks any organization wishing to sponsor a team to contact him at the Kokomo Armory or to attend an organizational meeting at the Armory on Oct. 4. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. into paydirt with only seconds left and the Tigers six points behind. But Steve dropped the ball on me one and Delphi notched its 24th win in a row.

This has been a year to for- rvget for the Airedales of Hartford City. The fans haven't had much of a chance to wag their tails as the dogs have been sitting up and begging for mercy all year. City has lost four games in succession by a grand total of 127-7, scoring its only touchdown last week against Mississinewa. The Elwood 1966 story is one that should sound familiar to Logansport's Harv Roberts. The Panthers have lost three of four contests buthave scored 66 points to the opponents 51; The one win was over the league cousin, Hartford City, 24-0.

The three losses were to Noblesville by four, 24-20, Muncie South, 7-6, and Alexandria by four, 20-16.

(UPI)--The game between North Dakota State and the University of North Dakota Oct. 22 at Grand Forks is shaping up as a bit more than just an intra-state blood-letting.

For at stake, in addition to the pride which accompanies such an intense local rivalty and a probable North Central Conference championship, may well be the national title. It isn't so unusual for this game to carry such importance since North Dakota nearly punctured State's bubble last season. The Bison's pulled that one out and went on to the national crown, but the Sioux have been pointing for revenge ever since. North Dakota State, strengthened, by the return of 32 lettermen and some sophs, is still no: 1 in the I i Press International Board of Coaches ratings but is 'beinc hard pressed by North Dakota, ranked second this week after thrashing Idaho State 41-0.

State received 14 first-place nominations and 266 points. There are a number of other schools, however, who will have a strong claim for' national honors. San Diego State, which hosts North Dakota State Nov. 5, is a strong third after edging Weber State 38-34 in a free- scoring game between two ranked teams. The loss dropped Weber from third to ninth.

Fourth-ranked Middle Tennessee is unbeaten in two years and fifth-ranked Montana State, which made a spectacular rise in the ratings following a 24-10 upset of Idaho, gets a shot at both North Dakota State and North Dakota as well as Weber State. Long Beach State, San Diego's chief rival for honors in the California Collegiate Athletic Association, advanced to sixth with Sul Ross State, defending Lone State Conference champion, seventh and UC Santa Barbara eighth. Massachusetts dropped from fourth to 10th after absorbing a 17-7 defeat at the hands of Ivy League champion Dartmouth. Ball State was llth and Arkansas State moved up to 12th. Delaware, playing its first season under Head Coach Tubby Raymond, whipped Hofstra 35-13 in its opener and earned 13th position.

Concordia, which knocked defending NAIA champion St. John's (Minn.) out of the elite group with a 13-6 triumph, placed 14th, followed in order by Eastern Kentucky, Southwest Texas State, Michigan Tech and Parsons.
