TTTTT Richmond Falls In Tangerine Toledo Back In Orbit By DENNY DRESSMAN THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Schwartz scored the first of his two TDs. Ealey scored from the one to cap a 68-yard drive that started with about four minutes left in third period and ended in the first two minutes of the fourth, and Schwartz finished a 59-yard march 3:54 from the end with another one-yarder to wrap up the scoring and prove that even if you know what's coming at you, you still have to have the horses to stop it. his helpless prey and pounced on the ball for the first touchdown of his career. "That play gave us the lift we needed to get moving," Murphy later analyzed. "It picked everybody up and, if there was a turning point, that was it.

We were ready to go after that." Richmond failed to move on the ensuing kickoff, and then it took Toledo only six plays to make the score 14-3. The Rockets took over on their 20 following a punt into the end zone, and gained 22 yards on a pass from Ealey to Al Baker on the first play.

It took them 15 minutes to get off the launch pad, but Toledo's Rockets successfully made it into orbit for the 35th straight time Tuesday night, s-cling Richmond, 28-3, in the 25th annual Tangerine Bowl football classic here. And the Owner of the nation's longest current college football winning streak completed its third straight perfect season despite crossed field phones which had Richmond tuned into every bit of Toledo strategy through most of the game. Fullback Joe Schwartz, a junior on Toledo's predominantly all-senior team, led the way scoring-wise with two o'ne-yard touchdown cracks, while two of the Rockets' all-time greats, quarterback Chuck Ealey and defensive tackle Mel Long, turned in great all-around performances and were named most outstanding back and lineman respectively. Although the final margin wound up slightly more than the 21-point spread predicted by the oddsmak-ers, the game began like it would be anything but lop-1 sided at the end.

Richmond astounded almost everyone in the record crowd of 16,750 by taking the opening kickoff and controlling the ball for eight minutes and 10 seconds. That ball control ate up 62 yards besides all that time, and produced a 27-yard field goal by Keith Clark, which gave Richmond an unexpected 3-0 lead. Such a show of strength by the underdog didn't perturb Toledo coach Jack Murphy, however. "Defensively when you're off football for a while, your timing isn't what it should be," he said after the game. "Our defense is What Again? first Downs" 7 25 Rushes-yards 35-114 49-206 Passing Yardage 24 189 Return Yardage 0 31 Passes 2-11-2 15-24-0 Punts Fumbles lost 1 1 Yards Penalized 70 51 very aggressive; we try to force the other team to make errors.

We were trying to force the errors on that first drive, but we weren't reacting quickly enough to the play. I thought the defense would straighten itself out once it got that timing back." Toledo's defense, the best in the nation in total offense allowed per game, "straightened itself out" to say the least. Richmond i 't have the ball for a combined eight minutes and 10 seconds on its total possessions in any of the last three quarters, and ran only 31 plays in the last three and a half quarters after running 15 in that opening drive. Furthermore, the Spiders gained a mere 76 yards the rest of the way after that 62-yard head start. The defense also pro-vi'died the push that got the offense clicking after a first quarter that saw the Rockets reach the Richmond 28 once and the 30 another time, only to give up the ball on downs both times.

Long, a 6-foot-2 230-pound Ail-American who has led Toledo in song in the locker room after each victory of the 35-game streak, personally accounted for what proved to be the winning margin when he sacked Richmond quarterback Ken Nichols while back to pass from the Richmond end zone. By TOM CALLAHAN Enquirer Sports Reporter BALTIMORE Tuesday night was one of those nights in the National Basketball Association when the post-game show was better than the game itself. It was more dramatic and considerably more tense. It ran 25 full minutes behind the closed locker room door of the Cincinnati Royals. The star was coach Bob Cousy.

There was no supporting players. "I've run out of answers, penalties, disciplines," was all he could say after the Royals were beaten by Baltimore, 119-87, an eighth straight loss. "I'm open to suggestions." It wasn't just another loss or the 12th in the past 14 games. It was a landmark one, defeat without dignity. There was less point in discussing any part of the game past the first half than there was in playing the second.

The Royals had 30 points at the half, 10 baskets for 45 shots (a shooting percentage of 22) and did not even have the satisfaction of figuring they were trailing, 46-30, to another's excellence. The Bullets themselves were wretched. Winning only their fourth game in the last 14, the Baltimore players could take pride in the 24 rebounds of mountainous Wes Unseld but hardly the 26 points of Archie Clark or 21 from Jack Marin. Like the 19 and 18-point totals of Cincy's Nate Archibald and Tom Van Ars-dale, they were just points. This was a night transcending points made and minutes played.

Cousy's request for suggestions produced nothing that hasn't been suggested before. "We've run the gaunt- Famine Goes On Cincin'ti FGM Archibald 5 EGA 17 14 0 14 2 4 12 5 7 11 10 FTM ETA Rb. Ast.

"We've cajoled them; we've fined them; we've offered sympathy. And now I don't know what to do. "Damn, I just don't have any offense. I don't know what to do." A 30-point half hasn't been common around the league since Danny Bia-sone invented the 24-second clock to encourage scoring. But a lot of uncommon things might be happening this season in the Central Division.

Now 14-22 and leading it, Baltimore isn't any more elegant than Cincinnati, in last place at 10-25. Houston trails in the Pacific Division by 21 games. In the Central right now, Houston would be a game and a half out. "In a i Oooisy pointed out, "Van Arsdale shouldn't even be out there but he wants to help, and we have no choice.

the injury." A nerve injury has cost Van his shooting touch and also the aggressiveness that is his main style. When he isn't forcing jump shots, he's putting the ball on the floor and losing it. "I respect him for trying," said Cousy. It takes little perception to know he has no respect for others who apparently aren't at least not enough. "If we were a baseball team," said the coaoh, "a few would be down on the farm tomorrow." Instead they will be at Cincinnati Gardens to try once more versus the Golden State Warriors at 7:35.

"The four or five games up to this, we played well. A little more strength, a heailthy Van something; it might have been enough." But not Tuesday night. As Johnny Green said, "Baltimore didn't have to be that good because we were that bad." Green, whom Cousy considered a key to "what little success we had the past two years," isn't doing it yet this year. But he isn't atone. "We've got a lot of 'nice' guys on this team who refuse to get tough," says Cousy.

So what does he do? "Not lose patience, I guess. The word around town is that we aren't patient enough. Well, there aren't any more moves to be made. We've got our young team (six freshmen and two sophomores counting injured Ken Dur- rett). "That's win yet, better tying." not enough to but we can look than this while score in the first quarter, but the Grays broke the ice on the first play of the second quarter.

Vincent's run from the seven capped a 74-yard drive that featured the passing of TCU's Steve" Judy to Louisiana State's Ken Kava-naugh and the running of Vincent and LSU Art Cantrell. The South scored again late in the fourth quarter when Hunt kicked his field goal after it was set up by a 45-yard pass from Judy to Kavanaugh. The second half featured a puntins; dual between Hunt and Mike Perfetti of Minnesota. Perfetti also intercepted a pass and was named the Blues' most valuable defensive player. Alec Thompson of Wisconsin, a running back, was tagged the Blues' outstanding offensive player.

Roberts took most valuable defensive honors for the South and Kavanaugh took too honors for thae South offense. The victory left the South with 19 wins to the Blue's 13 with one tie.

Defensive Struggle Grind 9-0 Win BY JACK MURRAY Enquirer Sports Reporter Doug Rombough atoned for a senseless penaity by scoring the winning goal in the Cincinnati Swords' 6-3 victory over the Tidewater Wings in the Gardens Tuesday night. The Swords led, 1-0, when referee Dave Shew-chyk assessed a two-min utes penalty to Ken Murray for i i g. Upset over the call, Rombough flipped the puck over the glass.

It landed in the stands. Shewchyk promptly signalled Rombough off and also called the Swords for delay of the game. Shewchyk, severly criticized by Swords coach Joe Crozier earlier this year, has officiated in three Swords games and called four delay-of-the-game penalties on Cincinnati. In each case, Swords opponents have taken advantage of the situation to score goals. "It Vas a stupid thing for me to do," said Rom-bough.

"The puck was there and I just reacted. I didn't mean to lift it that high." Four seconds elapsed when, with a five-three attack advantage, Tidewater scored on a sizzling slap shot by Ralph Stewart. It tied the game, 1-1. Both, teams scored twice in the second period, before Rombough atoned for his misdeed. Midway in the third period, and with the Swords on a power play, Terry Ball's low blue line slap shot deflected off Rom-bough's stick, positioned inches off the ice, and bounded into the nets to give the Swords a 4-3 lead.

"Doug's the best at these deflections in front of the net," said Terry Ball, who picked up three more assists and kept his club scoring lead. "He's got that long reach and all you have to do is get the puck in his vicinity. He probably has half his goals on those kind of plays." Rombough's goal gave him 14 for the year and a tie for the club lead with the injured Butch Dead- marsh, who walked around the Gardens with his arm in a sling. The game was still hi doubt, with Tidewater red. jerseys coming like waves at goaltemder Rocky Farr.

The Cincinnati goaltender made countless stops on Tidewater shots from point blank range. "All three of their goals were good ones tonight," said Farr, who appeared at his cat-like best. "I relaxed out there and stayed back more and waited for them to make the first move." mmmmmmmmmmmmmm LA Practice Draws 15,000 INGLEWOOD, Calif. (UPI) An estimated 15,000 fans turned out to see the Los Angeles Lakers practice Tuesday for charity. There was no admission charge but after the workout the players signed autographs and their wives sold autographed pictures for $1 each and autographed basketballs for $5 apiece.

About $11,000 was raised for the families of three Cal State Fullerton football coaches killed in a plane crash last month. South Rises Again Stanford, Rain and KF-79 PASADENA, Calif. If a man had made any bets last summer on the outcome of the Stanford University lootbali season, there is one he most certainly would have gone for without a question of a doubt. It would have been that if Stanford lost eight of its 11 games, the ones the Indians most assuredly would win were Duke, Washington State and San Jose State. Now, on Wednesday, December 29, just three days before Stanford goes against Michigan in the Indians' second consecutive Rose Bowl appearance, the final compilation for the 1971 regular season shows eight victories, three losses.

And who were the teams that beat Stanford? You guessed correctly, Socrates Duke, Washington State and San Jose State. So the stories are abounding in Southern California now in sort of a reverse twist. It used to be "Stan-tord can't win the big one." Now It's "Stanford ONLY wins the big ones." The Indians swept over Missouri, Army, Oregon, Washington, Southern Cal (by a whopping 38-18), Oregon State, UCLA (a convincing 20-9) and arch-rival California (a good-enough 14-0). The Indians, in truth, do win the big ones. BUT THE BIG STORY out here so far this week is the weather.

It has been raining for so long most people nave forgotten when it started. Tuesday it was still coming down, and although the weather bureau says it win end today, the natives think it's more of a wish than a prediction. Bo Schembechler took Michigan's football team to Bakersfield, 100 miles north, last Sunday to practice at Bakersfield Junior College, where apparently the only suitable practice field was available. Bo spent most of Christmas day here checking out a dozen different fields, and found them all waterlogged. Meanwhile, in the mountains to the north of Los Angeles heavy snow has made the roads to Bakersfield impassable, and Michigan had to charter a plane late Tuesday to fly the team back to Los Angeles.

Bo just made it in time for a 5:30 p. m. press conference. The Stanford team has had its problems working out, too. Coach John Ralston used the inside facilities of Long Beach Civic Center Monday and Tuesday, with the players wearing tennis shoes.

In addition to all this, it has been cold. Consider that on a thermometer outside the Sharaton Huntington Hotel at Monday midnight it was 35 degrees, and Tuesday's high was 44. In Cincinnati, it was 63 and 54. Stay at home, vacationers! A RAIN 'AND SNOW in 'California during Rose Bowl week? It brings back memories to guy who was a kid out here. Then it was December, 1933, and another Stanford team was getting ready to meet Columbia, an Ivy League club with an undistinguished 6-2 record.

Princeton, coached by Fritz Crisler, later of Michigan, had been invited first. The Tigers were undefeated (8-0), but the' Rose Bowl was beneath Princeton's dignity. They turned the invitation down and Columbia a second choice accepted. Beginning the day after Christmas, Jt poured here' every day. Columbia, which received violent criticism in the newspapers, now had to worry about practicing in the rain, preparing for a Stanford team that had an 8-1-1 record in coach Claude ThornhilPs first year.

Lou Little told the writers he liked the rain. "We'd be doing this every day If we were back in New York," he chided the weather-conscious Los Angeles writers. "It's Stanford that has the problem." Little wprked his special brand of psychology on Stanford all week long. On January 1, 1934, the Rose Bowl committee announced that the field was unplayable. It was still laming, and water was four inches deep inside the Rose Bowl.

The Pasadena fire, department was summoned and their pumpers put to work pumping water off the Held. By the next day, January 2, the game was on. Stanford was an overwhelming favorite. The press wondered why Columbia ever accepted its first (and only) Rose Bowl invitation. But they reckoned without two things (1) the' weather, and (2) Lou Little, the master psychologist.

HISTORY NOW SHOWS that beat Stanford, 7-0, on January 2, 1934, and many call it the classic upset in Rose Bowl history although Stanford's 27-17 triumph over Ohio State last January 1 ranks a close second. In the second quarter Columbia reached Stanford's 17-yard line. Quarterback Cliff Montgomery, a skinny guy witn a mind like a computer, remembered a play Little had the Lions working on every day in the rain. It was called KiP-'m. In the Los Angeles Times, the next day, huge headlines were to thunder "KF-79 does it." The play was a naked reverse.

Montgomery handed the ball off to a wingback named Al Barabas on a play that now would best be described as an end-around. Barabas went 17 unmolested yards to a touchdown as the rain poured down, and it was enough. Columbia was the winner, 7-0. P. S.

You oan be sure, on Saturday, KF-79 won't beat Michigan, and the feeling here is that tine rain On the other hand, Tide-water goaltender John Voss made the first move on Paiul Andrea and his blunder gave the Swords their fifth amdi insurance goal. Andrea swiped an arrant Tidewater pass along the side boards and deep to Wings' territory. The stylish veteran slipped past one defender and faked Voss out of his crease. Andrea still had the puck and an enormous groan emanated from the partisan fans, who thought Andrea has blown his chance to score. But Andrea faked a shot again, Voss slid to the ice and Cincinnati's second leading scorer lifted the puck over the prone goalie for the score.

Raindy (The Blue) Wyro-zub scored two goals, one on a breakaway. Jim Nichols added the Swords final goal with 14 seconds left In the game on an open net It was the Swords' first open net score of the season. They had been the victims of many in the past. The victory moved the Swords into fourth place, past Richmond, in the American Hockey League's West Division. The Swords' take a two-game winning streak into Springfield, tonight for a game against the Kings.
