The Indianapolis Star SUNDAY, AUGUST 5, 18S4 Section delbiuilt tarns into debacle mm By BILL BENNER, Star Sportswriter Miami The Indianapolis Colts had their coming out party Saturday night in the Orange Bowl. game's final score with another lengthy march in the third quarter. "Inept is the best way to de-. scribe it," said Kush, whose team was outgained, 356 186. vt rfc rill fyN And only two of the invited guests were missing.

Offense. And Defense. Consequently, Coach Frank Kush's. grave concerns about his team at this stage of its develope-ment were realized and reflected by- final score which showed the defending AFC East champion Miami Dolphins on the fat end of a 24-3 count, in the National Football League preseason opener for both teams. Dolphin quarterbacks combined for 201 yards passing, 16-of 22 accuracy and two touchdowns as Miami repeatedly put together sustained drives in defeating the Colts for the eighth straight time dating back to 1980.

WHILE DON Shula's Dolphins moved virtually at will on the Colts, the Indianapolis offense was able to generate only a 19 yard field goal by Raul that despite two trips inside the Miami 10 during the first half. -Allegre's field goal pulled Indianapolis to within 10 3 in the second quarter. And the Colts had a chance to pull even when, following a Miami fumble, they again perched themselves on the doorstep of the Dolphin end zone. But a gamble on fourth-and goal from the 5 failed and the Dolphins responded with a 95 yard march to a touchdown with just 8 seconds left in the half. That gave Miami a 173 cushion at the break and, against a misfiring Colt offense, that proved to be plenty, though Miami would hang up the STILL, THE scoreboard was only part of Kush's concern in this game.

With the mounting injuries, the head coach also was looking to see some untested troops in game action and he played most, if not all, of the 76 players who made the trip. "It's difficult to analyze what we did because we played so many people," Kush said. "We had a lot of personnel to evaluate. But I'm disappointed with our consistency. Overall it was a very inept effort We'll have to look at the film to assess why.

"We had lot of breakdowns and the ones on defense were obvious. I believe it was a matter of personnel. It's obvious we're still looking. It's equally obvious there are no quick answers." A- big area of disappointment was the Colts' passing game, which has been a prime focus in preseason training. BUT SATURDAY night, quarterbacks Mike Pagel, Mark Reed and Art Schlichter were a combined 10-of-27 with three interceptions.

"I'm not sure if that was the result of poor reads by our quarterbacks or the lack of time they had to throw the ball," said Kush, whose quarterbacks are toiling behind a patchwork offensive line.

"Medals are more important than records, Los Angeles (AP) Carl Lewis took a giant first step toward Jesse Owens' historic Summer Olympic feat of four gold medals, winning the men's lOO-meter dash Saturday, then carrying an American flag in victory around the Memorial Coliseum track. It reflected the success the United States has had in the 1984 Games, and it was no more evident than on this day when Americans won nine more golds and pushed their total to 38. Other countries were finding success, too, including Romania, China, Holland and Canada. They won a total of 12 golds on the day, with Romania getting six gold medals, including five in rowing, and China's Li Ning three in gymnastics.

But, as it has from last Saturday's opening' ceremony, America dominated the Games. The swimmers alone accounted for 21 gold, tying the record set by the United States in 1968. HOWEVER, ALL of those would dull in comparison to four for Lewis. He will seek the other three in the 200-meter dash, 400-meter relay and the long jump. Owens did it in 1936.

Meanwhile, an Algerian and a Lebanese weightlifter were banned from international competition for life because they were found with illegal steroids in their systems after they competed in the Olympics. They were the first athletes to be hit for illegal drug use at the 1984 Games. Lewis trailed out of the starting blocks, then accelerated halfway through the race and won going away in 9.99 seconds. Afterwards, he skipped down the track, then grabbed the flag from a member of the huge crowd and carried it triumphantly around the Coliseum. He smiled and shook hands with fans.

On the victory stand, he blew kisses to the crowd and kissed his medal. He was already a hero on a day of many heroes.
