Gramke's Toe Turns Tide For XII. 27-25 THE QJ I. BY DEL OSSINO Of The Enquirer Staff Xavler's Tom Gramke didn't look when Dayton's field goal kicker put the Flyers ahead with 31 second left on a 22 yard field goal, then booted' one himself with 10 seconds remaining to give the Musketeers a 27-25 victory at Corcoran Field Saturday atfer-noon. It completed a wild football afternoon which saw the Muskies score In the second period with 12 players lined up on the field. The scoring play came with 9:03 left in the period when tailback Al Ippollto ran seven yards around left end for the score.

"I heard the crowd screaming, but it was too late to do anything about it," said disgusted Dayton coach John McVay after the game. "What can I say." McVay protested to the officials before the next klckoff but nothing came of the discussion. ,5 3 Muskies' opening game, returned the kickoff to the 26. At that point a fight hetwern the two teams broke out. The Flyers' Al Brown was booted out of the game by an official after the fracas and a 15-yard penalty was called against Dayton.

That got the ball up to the 41-yard line. From there quarterback Jerry Buckmaster fired a long pass to favorite receiver Dick Barnhorst who was tripped up by a Dayton defender on the 16-yard line. It cost the Flyers 43 yards In penalties and set up Gramke's winning field goal. "I didn't want to take any chances." said Biles about Gramke's field goal. "We didn't have any timeouts left." There were IS seconds remaining vvhen XU started that field coal play.

"I said to myself, kid. you'd better make this one because you missed one earlier," said Gramke. "I always had distance in my kicks but now I'm getting accuracy. I didn't look at Dayton's last field goal. I just put my head down." The vie- before 12.181 fans r- the Gov ernor to Xavier.

Ramsey set a school rec-, ord with five touchdown passes and Cook tied a UC mark with four. It might have been an interesting duel except for the fact that Ramsey and the NTS Eagles scored early and often to build a 34-6 half-time lead which I'C's desperate rallying efforts, could not overcome.

The win was the fifth In seven games for the Eagles, much to the pleasure of the estimated 19,000 homecoming fans In attendance, and gave coach Rod Rust's club a 2-1 Missouri Valley Conference record which keeps the defending champions in contention for a repeat title. essays mrnmmmmmm A'o Bombing Halt UC NTS First tUwnl uihinf Ytritw fauint Yirdatt turn Ytrdatt Pmirtf Punti Fambltl Lett Ptntltif iVtrdi .17 St 14 ISO 431 IS4 17 JS5SJ 11-14-1 -40 1 Ml 0 t-1 4-4 I 11-141 Homer Rice's UC crew slipped to 1-2 in the Mo-Val, almost out of the picture, and came away with a 3-3-1 overall record.

Jim also boosted his receiving yardage for the year to a record 669, and 1180 for a career record, as well.

The game was played in sunshine and showers a typical Texas thundershow-er pelting the field throughout the second half. Ramsey opened his rec- ord-breaklng spree in the first period when teammate Roy Humphrey recovered a Lloyd Pate fumble at the Texas 13-yard line. On the next play the NTS quarterback hit half back Leo Tayior at me Eagle 40 and Taylor raced 87 yards for the touchdown a school record scoring throw. The conversion failed. Late in the period UC's Jim O'Brien kicked a 28-yard field goal to make it 6-3 favoring North Texas at the quarter close.

Then, just over a minute into the second period, O'Brien kicked a 42-yardcr to tie it up. The deadlock seemed to incite the Eagles, however, and Ramsey came right back with a 26-yard touchdown pass to senior fullback Tony Reese and kicker Mike Gattls booted the extra point.

"You can see what he means to us," said Biles. Joe Galiardl, a Dayton defensive tackle, was rust in the third quarter and was carried off the field.

He was taken to Good Samarltsn Hospital, but later released. Besides Brown, Xavier's Kevin Coughlin was also kicked out of the game for a personal foul on a Dayton punt deep In Xavier territory. Xavier actually ran two plays with 12 players on the field. Dale Mutryn, a fullback, was tackled for no gain on the Dayton seven-yard line, just before Ippol-to's TD. Then the Dayton fans, noticing the 12 players, voiced a protest from the stands, but the Dayton board of strategy noticed it to late.

The Muskies had a seven man line in close, a split end and four men in the backfield. Ippolito who got the TD was the tailback in the formation. "We use Shinners (John, offensive tackle) in the backfield sometimes," said Biles, "and maybe one of our backs didn't come out when he was supposed to the films will show." Asked if he had any other injuries. McVay said "just 60 broken hearts. I don't know how long they'll take to mend." I just hate to go In there and face them." Kress was the leading ball carrier with 140 yards while Waller gained 106.

Ted Posplsil ran the conversion. Cook was not to be denied, however, and with Just four seconds to go in the period he hit O'Brien for a 45-yard touchdown and then threw to Jackson for the conversion points as the quarter closed with NTS ahead despite the Bearcat comeback threat. Midway through the final period another north Texas interception of a Cook pass set up a one-yard touchdown burst by Taylor and a fourth conversion kick for Gattls.

Ramsey lert the game with four minutes to play, taking with him a couple of school records. The five TD passes and 433 yards passing, both single- game standards. The aerial duel was over when Middletown High standout Jim Ousley replaced Cook at quarterback for UC. Cook had played valiantly but Ramsey had played spectacularly and made the difference.

"That's my shot," said Adrian, who hit six of 11 the last half. "I was thinking, 'I got to put it in the basket. I knew I had to shoot it because the way they were playing us. They were going to the ball. I was open." The Royals said it appeared as if Philly choked up.

"I could see it," said Lucas. "They just started standing around out there," said Van Arsdale, who also said it was no accident he shut off Cunningham. "I can guard Cunningham," he said. "I put the trick on him. I try to meet him head on.

He gets kind of flustered if he can't get that step on you. He'd rather drive than shoot that jumper. "At the start of the fourth quarter, I just knew we were going to win," said Dierklng, unable to conceal his glee. "I enjoyed watching it. You don't know how great you guys played." "It's a funny game, pro ball," said Robertson, who did not shoot the last seven minutes, instead hitting the open man.

"I should have shot more in the first half. I think they were playing a zone, but the ref evidently didn't think they were. He said they were chasing the ball." "I didn't think they'd get us, but they did," said Cun ningham in the somber Philly locker room, which mirrored the knowledge it was the first time in over two years that the 76ers have been below .500. "I thought If we could control the boards, we could win," said Jucker. Cincy outrebounded Philly, 25-9, in that final period, a quarter when Cincinnati was electrifying and the 76ers, who saw their night's work disintegrate, were shocked.

BY BARRY McDERMOTT Of The Enquirer Staff PHILADELPHIA The Electrifying 1 i nati Royals staged a breathtaking fourth quarter rally after trailing by 20 points late in the third period and shocked the Philadelphia 76ers, 119-113, in the spectrum Saturday night. It was if the 76ers had worked most of the night to construct a beautiful monument, only to have the Royals tear it down, and build one of their own. "This is my greatest win since I've been with the team," shouted an ecstatic Royals coach, Ed Jucker, in the milling Royals locker room. Cincinnati trailed most of the night and was down, 95-75, with less than two minutes remaining In the third quarter, but the Royals limited Philly to 14 points in the final quarter, including five points the first seven minutes of the period. "Can you believe it," shouted a happy Tom Van Arsdale In the locker room.

"I'm tired from cheering," yelled Connie Dierk-lng, who watched the comeback from the bench. "(Bill) Dinwiddle and if we had had a couple of skirts, would have been doing cartwheels for you." It was four substitutions, coupled with some fabulous shooting from Oscar Robertson, that put the Royals back on the track in the second half. During the third quarter, Adrian Smith and Walt Wesley came off the bench, as did Van Arsdale who played a forward and guarded the 76ers Bill Cunningham. Jerry Lucas, who was benched in the third period, started th fourth quarter. The result was utter havoc for Philadelphia as MAJOR COLLEGES LOCAL North Texas State 55, Cincinnati 34.
