Tiie Indianapolis Star SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1981 Section 4 Schlichter, Campbell treat fans Bucks bewitching (Star Photo By Jeff A tit berry) By JOHN BANSCH Assistant Sports Editor West Lafayette, Ind. All the ghosts, goblins and witches who roamed the hazy, warm Indiana countryside Saturday night did not perform as nasty a deed on their victims as Art Schlichter perpetrated on the Purdue football team a few hours earlier. The Ohio State quarterback carved his villainous act into the minds of Boilermaker players and fans on this Halloween day by calling upon every ounce of his mental and physical athletic ability to deal the Riveters a crushing 45-33 Big Ten defeat. Schlichter's magnificent effort lifted the Buckeyes into sole possession of first place in the scrambled conference race with a 4-1 record and dropped Purdue back into the pack at 33. THAT IS OF FAR greater significance than the fact Schlichter's performance overshadowed the record- Big Ten Standings Conference All Games Ptl OP I Pt OP Ohio SI 4 1 0 140 110 4 2 0 24) 175 Illinois 4 2 0 159 152 5 3 0 182 196 Michigan 4 2 149 10 6 2 0 215 103 Iowa 3 2 0 132 71 3 175 111 Minnesota 3 3 0 122 134 5 3 0 112 145 PURDUE 3 3 0 147 121 5 3 0 209 155 Wisconsin 3 3 0 152 105 5 3 0 1S4 144 INDIANA 2 4 0 96 149 2 6 0 100 211 Michigan St 2 4 135 134 3 5 0 159 143 Northwestern 0 6 0 43 245 1 0 50 325 setting passing show of Purdue quarterback Scott Campbell.

The sophomore Boilermaker signal caller established four school standards Saturday which may remain in the record book for many years most yards passing in one game (516); most yards total offense for one game (477); most passes attempted one game (52); and most completions one game (31).

Notre Dame finally found a combination it liked Saturday. It featured Blair Kiel at quarterback, Tony Hunter at tight end, a freshman by the name of Joe Howard at split end, an inspired defense and perhaps most importantly Navy on the other side of the line of scrimmage.

Satur day, he made his full-time debut with five catches for 115 yards. On Notre Dame's first play from scrimmage, Howard turned the defensive back around and made a diving catch of a 35-yard Kiel pa.s, putting the Irish in business at Navy's 11. Kiel, behind a block from fullback John Sweeney, swept in from the 1 three plays later and Notre Dame was on its way.

WORKING FROM excellent field position something which the Irish enjoyed all day Notre Dame turned to Howard for another touchdown on the team's second possession. This time it was a reverse from 13 yards out with Kiel springing the fleet freshman with a block that cut down a Navy defender. "It worked exactly as it had in practice," said Howard, who had caught the eye of the coaching staff last week with a 56-yard kickoff return against Southern California. "I didn't see Kiel's block, but I heard it was a good one. All I saw was bodies flying." Yet, the best was still to come from Howard, With 3:17 remaining in the first half and N.D.

"JOE NOT ONLY has great hands," said Kiel afterward. "But he See IRISH, Page 19 (Star Photo By 0. Todd Moora) DESPITE ALL OF those feats which thrilled the standing room only throng of 69,927 and a regional television audience, it was the precision work of Schlichter which was the difference between victory and defeat.

Former Hoosier high school player Morten Andersen iced Michigan State's cake with four field goals Saturday and became the university's all-time leading scorer as the Spartans manhandled inept Indiana, 26-3. The native Dane, who first kicked a football at Ben Davis, propelled attempts at 25, 38, 23 and 20 yards over the crossbar for State's last 12 points after quarterback John Leister prostrated the Hoosiers with a pair of touchdown passes before the first quarter ended. Including two PATs, which are automatic for the 6 2 senior, Andersen now has 242 points to his credit with three games left in his brilliant career.

A Spartan Stadium crowd of 60,131 saw Indiana break in front on Doug Smith's 35-yard field goal less than two minutes into the contest, then absorb a pillar-to-post hammering that left the combatants in a 2-4 tie for the Big Ten's No. 8 spot. Once Smith capped the Hoosiers' opening-kickoff march, they made only one other successful invasion of the midfield stripe as the Spartans assumed complete command of the one sided proceedings. WITH LEISTER throwing for 233 yards and giving the ball to freshman tailback Aaron Roberts for another 135, State piled up 34 first downs to just nine for the Hoosiers and finished with a resounding 523-169 total offense advantage. This was the first Indiana-Michigan State collision since 1978 and the Hoosiers suffered badly from every viewpoint.

Already saddled with a heavy injury load, they lost sophomore linebacker Mike Rose (broken leg) and junior center Jeff Wiebell (broken arm) and had to provide intermittent relief for several other bruised and battered starters. Trying to pull off a victory over State for the first time since 1969, Hoosier quarterback Babe Laufenberg came out with all guns blazing. Firing with effect, if not consistency, he hit tailback John Roggeman for 22 yards and split end Duane Gunn for 38 in guiding Indiana to a quick first down at the Green's 20. But a reverse to John Boyd, Gunn's backup, which netted only 2 yards around a pair of incompletions, forced the Crimson to settle for Smith's field goal. It would be a Michigan State shutout the rest of the route.

The triumph was the Irish's third in seven games and created new hope among the sellout crowd of 59,075 that the season can still be rescued. Kiel, the sophomore from Columbus, had his best day throwing the football for Notre Dame, completing 13 of 23 passes for 225 yards and two touchdowns.

He was especially on target in a first half in which the Irish ran away to a 28 0 command, firing strikes on ,11 of 16 passes for 215 yards. KIEL'S PRIMARY targets were Hunter and Howard a double-edged sword that sliced Navy's heart out with outstanding pass catching and running. Hunter, moved to tight end by Coach Gerry Faust because of last week's knee injury to Dean Masztak, caught four passes for 82 yards while playing his third position in as many games. One of the receptions came on a fourth down play when Hunter, at 6-5, simply gathered in a lofted Kiel pass over the head of a 5 9 Navy defensive back. The play went for 27 yards and a touchdown early in the second quarter.

J. Foyt Jr. After, the article appeared, Foyt publicly denied all of the allegations, stating that they were unfounded and untrue. Foyt officially demanded that The Indianapolis Star retract its article, which demand was refused.

After that refusal, Foyt filed a S3 million libel suit against this newspaper in Federal Court at Houston, Texas, claiming that the article was false and published with an intent to injure Foyt's honesty, integrity and reputation. The Indianapolis Star acknowledges, as Robin Miller's article had pointed out, that the alleged unprofessional conduct mentioned in the article had never been proven nor protested. To this newspaper's knowledge, they remain unproven and unprotested allegations. The Indianapolis Star and A.J. Foyt have resolved all of their differences in connection with Robin Miller's article to the satisfaction of all parties and the libel suit by Foyt has been dismissed.

The conference record is 621 yards set by Dave Wilson of Illinois last year against the Buckeyes. Campbell gained many of his yards by throwing under a "soft" OSU defense which had the backs dropping 20-30 yards off the line of scrimmage to prevent Purdue wide receiver Steve By SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT New York The Indiana Pacers are undefeated after two games of the new National Basketball Association season and Jack McKinney feels a lineup change he made during the exhibition schedule had a great deal to do with it. "Making Don Buse a starter and using Johnny Davis off the bench has a great deal to do with the way we are playing," stated McKinney Saturday night after the Pacers totally dominated the New York Knickerbockers and opened a four-game road trip with a 106-99 victory before 15,252 at Madison Square Arena.

"I decided to give Buse a chance in front of his home fans in Evansville against the Milwaukee Bucks. I wanted to push him up and not use him constantly as a sub. "PRIOR TO THE game I explained that to Davis. Don came through in great fashion and I dedided to try it once again. It worked and I kept doing it."

"Buse's playing super," continued the second-year Pacers' coach, "and he's a great floor leader. He helps us get started right away. Last year we were having trouble doing that." Getting started early against the Knicks was no problem at all. Indiana, now 13-11, in the all-time rivalry between the two clubs, took thelead for good at 20-17 when Buse connected on a three-point goal from the left of the key with 2:37 remainaing in the first period.
