THE HERALD Monday, October 13, 1975 Soctfon 4 --3 Hawks escape upset bid in crosstown battle Hoffman Estates tips Conant, for Mayor's Cup by PAUL LOGAN The game wu played with the emotional frenzy of an ancient rivalry, but It was the first meeting ever. One team outgained the other 264 to. 89, but the high school contest's outcome was in doubt right up to the end. It was just what you'd expect from crosstown foes going all our, trying to be the best In the village with the Mayor's Cup hanging in the balance. Hoffman Estates, heavily favored to win, escaped the upset bid by Conant at the Hawks' field Saturday afternoon, 144.

Long after the hard-hitting "civil war" had concluded and Hoffman Estates had proudly accepted the trophy from Mayor Virginia Haytcr, Hawk coach BIU Gourley was still shaking his head. Gourley sold that game had driven him crazy because of the three fumbles lost and two Interceptions, "and every one of them was crucial." One. freak play in particular had him talking to himself Conant's only touch- dcnp. Minutes after the Hawks had taken the lead on a dazzling punt return by Kevin Stalley, 7-0, the weird happening occurred. Hoffman quarterback Wayne Jackson pitched back to star tailback David Lipko, but the ball bounced off his hands and into the Before he could catch it again, defensive back Sain Assil caught it on the run and went 48 yards for the score.

"How many times does that happen?" said Gourley. "It was unbelievable." That was the beginning of a costly streak of Hoffman turnovers, including two more that ruined scoring opportunities in the second quarter. Kevin Stalley One was an interception by Jerry EC- chingham, one of two he had, and another was a fumble recovery by Ron, Burhite when the Hawks had first- and-goal from the three. Hoffman, 3-1 in the MSL and 4-2 over-all, finally put itself a touchdown in front In the fourth period after a good punt return by Kevin Stalley of IS yards. After using the running of Lipko (who had a game 'high 156 yards in 31 carries)'and Joe Parllle to take it down to the Jackson sneaked over with 8:52 remaining.

Jim Moore kicked his'second extra point. Stalley had put the Hawks on the Scoreboard the first time, bringing the crowd to its feet with an electrifying punt return. He took the ball at the 35 and headed for the Hoffman sidelines. En route to the end zone he received numerous blocks, including those from Lipko, Parllle and Schmalz. Hoffman's offensive line of center Doug Rush, guards Jim Thomas and Frank Gnreckl and tackles Jim Moore and Jim Broucek played a fine game, opening holes that helped the Hawks to 238 of their 264 total yards.

"They did a nice job," said Gourley, "but the backs hurt us by making mistakes." Conant coach John Ayres said some of those "mistakes" were brought about by the hitting of his Cougars. winless hi five games and having been outscored 155 to 20 coming into the Mid-Suburban League South Division game, the Cougars wouldn't quit, even after losing their starting quarterback, Scott Schafer, for the second Ayres'praised almost everybody on defense, adding that his "secondary was outstanding." Conant's defensive backs helped hold MSB leading passer Jackson to just two of seven passes for 26 yards. "They mixed up their coverage a great deal," said Grouley. "They were confusing our people." Gourley also praised his defense: "Everybody was just swarming. It was a real team effort." It was also a real crosstown rivalry and the first of many.

Those who claim that Texas and Oklahoma have cornered the market on the wishbone offense had better consider tho Schaumburg Saxons. Saturday's 42-14 non-conference romp over Elmwood Park is a case in point. Except for tho lack of ten-gallon hats and tho cries of "Hook'em Horns," one might have thought, eyes open or not, that Tiger Stadium hi Elmwood Park was actually the Cotton Bowl In Dallas during tho Texas- Oklahoma weekend. This was still Illinois, but the awesome offensive performance by the Scott Scbols undefeated Saxons was not diminished by the geography. In the process of recording Its sixth victory of the season, Schaumburg amassed an even 500 yards in total offense.

Of that total, 372 yards were rolled up on the ground with quarterback Russ Zonca and halfback Scott Mlelke leading the never-ceasing, pressure offense. Zonca topped the Saxon charts with 108 yards in nine carries, while play- Ing only the first half.

Dave Patterson, the Hawks leading scorer, booted the first of four extra points to make it seven-alp. Mueller, who passed for '108 yards in the first half, dumped a 12-and sev- en-yarder to DuWayne Mill on the Hawks' next possession then laid a 24-' yard touchdown loaf to Krlstiek as the half ended.

Faced with a third and 12 at the Elmwood Park 18-yard-line, Zonca completed a deftly-executed screen pass in the right flank to Mark Godlnez, who bulled his way to the three. The ensuing play snowed the difficulty in defensing the wishbone. Zonca worked the quarterback option, as it is diagrammed on the blackboard and the Saxons were seemingly off and running.

Bob Cavazos converted the first of his six extra point placements for a 7-0 margin. Elmwood Park showed little regard for Schaumburg's lofty ratings and marched 79 yards tb score with only four in the first quarter. Spurred on by their leading rusher, KLEEN DRY CLEANING SPECIAL 3 for 2 any like item of wearing apparel BRING 3 FREE Tom Wojtas, the Tigers attacked the Saxon flanks for several long gains before-fullback Steve Anderson bunt over left tackle from three yards out for the touchdown. Wojtas, who had ripped off runs of 39 and 28 in the drive, then took a pitchout around right end for the two- point conversion, which gave the hosts a rather surprising 6-7 lead. Instead of taking the initiative away from the Saxons, the Elmwood Park touchdown and conversion seemed to spur them to greater heights.

Mlelke returned the kickoff 40 yards to his 47. Three plays later, Zonca went all over the field during a 51-yard touchdown scamper off of the option keeper. The Saxon defense, hot to be overlooked by their counterparts on offense, quickly shut off the hosts' next possession and the Schaumburg wishbone was off and running again. An eight-play, 59-yard drive resulted in the third Saxon tally, which was again registered by Zonca. This time the 5-11, 190 pound senior swept to his right, only to cut in, behind his pursuit, for an 18-yard jaunt.

Up 21-8, the Saxons added another score before the half on a three yard blast off left tackle by Mlelke. The second half found Zonca resting on the sidelines to avoid the risk of injury for the return to Mid Suburban South warfare Saturday against Prospect. His spot, normally filled by -Steve Conrad, was taken over by sophomore Dave Fink, who turned in a tour of duty in directing the wishbone in the second half. He guided Schaumburg to a total of 242 yards, only 16 less than recorded in the first half. His nine yard run on the option keeper In the final quarter closed out scoring parade for this latest Saxon blitz.

Defensively, Schaumburg was lead by linebackers Scott Scholtz (16 total tackles) and Gary Bolger (12). Steve Skipworth (nine) and Bob Connell (four total tackles and several key break-ups of passes) also played key roles.
