I i I it fi: tt vOc JfhA By HARRISON HOWARD Butler University's Bruce Scifres wiped out the all-time Bulldogs' rushing attempts record Saturday afternoon before a sun-bathed Dad's Day crowd, but it wasn't enough to keep the Blue and White from bowing to Franklin College's Grizzlies, 14-13. Coach Red Faught's Grizzlies, who had entered the game with an 0-6 slate for the season and 0-5 in the Heartland Conference, charged from a 13-7 deficit to lock up the decision with 2:33 remaining, sophomore Joe Galovic cracking the final five. And, it came in spite of Scifres rushing past the old mark of 478 by Harry Muta (1973-74-75). Scifres topped the mark early in the game and now has just over 500 rushing attempts. Franklin had started the winning drive from its 20 following a missed field goal attempt by Butler's Ed Thompson.

AND WHEN THE Grizzlies got the reprieve, which could have pretty well sealed the verdict had Thompson not missed three field goal attempts and an extra point try, they wasted little time in rolling. Fact is Franklin marched the 80 yards in nine plays, freshman quarterback Greg Hoffeld (making his first start) connecting on three straight passes for 56 yards and closing the drive with five completions for 75 yards, spread among Woody Atwood, Jeff Atwood and Robbie Ray. Sophomore Brad Angle carried twice for five yard gain. However, the biggest play of the drive came on the extra point boot by Rick Malone for the 14-13 edge. of a necktie tackle by Franklin's Jeff Phillips and defensive end Mike Deffner (left) comes up to help.

His PAT attempt failed and set the stage for the Franklin assault. Butler wound up with the edge in first downs, 14-13, but lost in the rushing war, 166-112. The Bulldogs had the edge in passing, 130-116. Butler took a severe jolt late in the game when lineman Bob Lambert suffered a leg injury. He was hobbling on the leg after the game but was to undergo X-rays before the staff would know just how bad the injury was.

Joseph's. Butler, which slipped to 3-4 overall and 2-2 in the conference, tried to battle back, taking over on the kickoff at its own 26. Thompson fired a strike to Mike Chrobot for a 7-yard gain. Paul Kaz-mierczak battered forward for two more yards but two straight passes failed and Franklin took over on downs and ran out the clock for its second straight decision over once-feared Butler University. Butler had its chances like three missed field goal attempts, like not being able to capitalize when Franklin College fumbled the ball four of the first five times it had the ball to start the second half, like being unable to convert on a pass from the 2 in the third period and turning the ball over to the Grizzlies on downs.

OF COURSE, Franklin's defense had plenty to do with Butler's inability to get into the end zone, too. The young Franklin squad got onto the scoreboard first, that coming in the second quarter. The drive got underway at the Butler 40 after the Bulldogs had been forced to punt. Atwood cracked to the 38 and Hoffeld fired a bullet to freshman Todd Angleton for a first down at the 29. Atwood came back to dash to the 9 for another first down.

Angle carried to the 7 and Hoffeld struck again, finding Angle-ion open at the 2. Galovic then carried CARDS TOP WIXLESS for Buffalos Roam Over Indiana St. STAR STATE REPORT 2 Greencastle, Ind.

Scifres carried four times in the series for 19 yards and Kazmierczak gained three on one run. Thompson hit Doug Opel for seven yards on one pass and Larry Billick for three on another. BUTLER REGAINED possession with only a minute remaining in the third chapter on its own 34 but exploded again with Scifres carrying to the 39, Billick to the 46 for a first down.

Illinois State drove to the BSU 19, but was victimized by a clipping penalty and missed a 44-yard field goal midway through the third stanza.

Ball State then mounted its second scoring march. With Wilson, Archie Currin and Ken Currin contributing long runs, the Cardinals moved 74 yards in seven plays, Ken Currin getting the final 25. O'Connell's 17th straight placement without a miss this season lifted the Cardinals into a 14-0 advantage with 6:11 to go in the third quarter. Ball State, which entered the game ranked second in the nation in both scoring defense and total defense, appeared to be on its way to its fourth shutout of the campaign until Ray Hinton fumbled the pigskin and Brice Jateff fell on the ball at the Cardinal 25. ON THE HOME team's first play, Fenn appeared to be trapped for a loss but cut back against the grain to reach pay dirt with 5:00 showing on the clock.
