The "Galloping Gourmet" would have had to walk because of stomach cramps. But to Indiana Central football coach Bill Bless the dish his Greyhounds concocted Saturday at Key Stadium tasted awfully good and left the visiting Ev-ansville Aces with a 20-7 case of indigestion and I.C. its third Heartland Collegiate Conference victory against one defeat. The ingredients? The offensive line constitutes the gravy. Fullback Dan Williams gives you the meat, halfback Dud-dy Reeves the potatoes and the Indiana Central opportunistic defense the dessert.

For spice add six fumbles, a blocked punt, a missed conversion attempt, a bad punt snap turned-first-down and what do you have? "I DON'T KNOW, I can't describe it." said Chef Bless shaking his head afterward. His reaction was understandable. It was a most unusual, if possibly indescribable football game right from the beginning. Gives good field position after an "Mi snap and, with no time to kick, had to run the ball, picking up seven yards and a first down in the process. But his luck was short-lived.

Central's offense stalled in three plays and Perry's next punt attempt was blocked by Brian Smith, picked up by Marvin Boswell and returned to the Greyhounds' 13. Two plays later, Shivener found Courtney Watt over the middle and in the end zone for the touchdown. Neil Saunders added the point after and it was 14-7 with 10:18 to play in the third quarter. THE GREYHOUNDS then promptly fumbled the bail at their own 38 three plays after the kickoff, but Evansville returned the favor two ptays later with Pollock recovering and Indiana Central took advantage of the gratuity. A 13-play drive consuming seven minutes put up the Greyhounds' final touchdown with Williams going over from the 1 and the usually mechanical Reiff missing the PAT wide left.

From that point on it was Central's defense which did the job. A Shivener pass into the end zone with 10:09 to play was intercepted by defensive back Jim Goetz thwarting one touchdown try and another interception at the goal line by Mike Mach halted another. Evansville fell to 2-6 overall and 1-2 in loop play while the victory made it three in a row for the Greyhounds, now 5-2 overall and facing conference games the next two weeks at Valparaiso and Georgetown.

AFTER BSU punter Mark O'Connell dropped a snap from center and could get off only a 3-yard boot near midfield, Eastern drove to the Ball State 37. But on first down, Albert Williams fumbled and Karl Goebel recovered for the visitors at the 34.

led 7-0. Following another Evansville punt, the Greyhounds took over at their own 39 and figuratively turned their backs against the Aces with a punishing ground attack. Williams went for 12, Clark for 9 on a keeper around the right side and Reeves tried the right side for 11 more. Three plays later and a fourth and 1 from the 18, the offensive line opened a huge hole for Williams and the senior found it for an 18-yard touchdown run, picking up two Evansville defenders at the 5 and dragging them with him to the end zone. "THE LINE opened up a good hole for me," Williams said.

"I was looking at the goal line the whole time and once they hit me, I felt I could get a few more yards." He did and Reiff added the PAT and the Greyhounds had a 14-0 lead with 10 seconds remaining in the first quarter. That's the way it stayed until half-time, but not without some second period fireworks. With Evansville temporarily stalled during a drive toward the quarter's end, Aces' Coach John Moses went to No. 1 quarterback Scott Topczewski, making his return after a strained knee injury earlier in the season, with a third and 10 at the Central 43. An illegal procedure penalty made it third and 15 and Topczewski had his pass intercepted by linebacker Brad Pollock who made it back to the midfield stripe.

But away from Pollock, who took a late hit for a personal foul, Moses is out on the field arguing that his quarterback absorbed a roughing the passer infraction. The official tacked on another 15 and the Greyhounds had a first and 10 at the Aces' 20, but a 37-yard field goal attempt by Reiff four plays later failed and Evansville was out of the jam. The Aces kicked off to start the second half and forced Indiana Central to punt after three plays. With a fourth and 2 at his own 28, punter Ed Perry fielded a low 1 N. SSf hat.

Five yards for Williams, three more for Williams and I.C. found Evansville's defense very moveable. Then quarterback Doug Clark fumbled on an option play and the Aces' Tom Halford pounced on the ball at the Evansville 41.

However, the break did no good for the Aces. The Greyhounds' defense responded, aided by a clipping call, and Evansville quarterback-punter Jon Shivener shanked his punt to the Indiana Central 48 where once again the offense rolled into gear. Reeves and Williams combined for 38 yards in five plays to push the ball to the Evansville 14. It was option time again and Clark fumbled again, but alertly recovered his own bobble for a 1-yard gain. A Clark pass fell incomplete and the Greyhounds faced a third and 9 at the 13.

No trouble. The senior from Carmel calmly responded to the adversity by i. 4rt Sit Zt swssiftafcaMw 'it 4 Eastern 35. Then, on fourth down at the 29, Wilson returned from a third-quarter injury that sidelined him for 6 minutes and hit Abney for a 29-yard score. The first reception in the junior's career put Ball State on top, 14-0, as Morrison added the PAT with 9:52 to play.

Ball State clinched the game the next time it had possession with a 14-play, 59-yard march that used up nearly 6 minutes of the clock. Werner crossed the goal line from 2 yards out with 3:14 to play and Morrison again added the PAT. Schaff plunged into the end zone from the 2. Two penalties aided Northeast Louisiana on its second touchdown drive. Indiana State committed face mask and holding violations to aid Northeast Louisiana.

Johnson also carried twice for 29 of the 85-yard drive. BOTH DEFENSES played well. Turnovers hurt both teams. Indiana State couldn't capitalize on an interception and a fumble recovery while the hosts picked off two key interceptions. Star NLU receiver John Floyd was injured in the second period.

It was reported later that he had a broken leg. Floyd collided with ISU safety John All-man on a pass play up the middle. Dick Jamieson's Indiana State crew now stands 2-6 and will entertain Missouri Valley rival Southern Illinois next Saturday. Northeast Louisiana has a 5-2-1 record going into its next game with Cincinnati. Rose-Hulman Victor Danville, Ky.

(AP) Halfback Mark Ripple lofted a 23-yard scoring pass to Ben Young with nine seconds to play Saturday to lift Rose-Hulman to a 31-29 college football victory over Centre. The winning pass capped a Rose-Hulman rally that overcame a 29-13 Centre lead in the final period. Quarterback Dan Haas ran 27 yards for one score and passed four yards to Young for another score to set the stage for the game-winning play. Rose-Hulman is 5-2-1. Paul Schum, playing in place of injured Mike Shannon, scored four touchdowns for Centre, 3-4.

The sophomore quarterback passed to the senior wide receiver for scores of 36, 27 and 10 yards. Noskowiak caught five passes for 120 yards. Butler executed flawlessly after the opening kickoff, driving 72 yards in seven plays for a touchdown on a 36-yard Ed Thompson to Doug Opel pass. Thompson's extra point attempt sailed wide. St.Norbert then came back on its' first possession to take the lead on a 74-yard drive, capped by Noskowiak's first touchdown.

Although St. Norbert's led at halftime, 7-6, the Bulldogs had opportunities to score. They took over on the Green Knights' 47 after a fumbled punt but a fourth down pass bounced off tight end Mike Chrobot's hands and Don Deegan intercepted. Thompson had another pass intercepted and Butler lost the ball on a fumble in the first half. It appeared the Bulldogs would take the lead late in the third quarter when they drove to the St.Norbert's 4, but on third down another Thompson pass was intercepted in the end zone by Tim VanAlstine.

In the fourth quarter, another Thompson pass was intercepted by VanAlstine on the Butler 27. On the first play after the Butler turnover, Cavanaugh and Noskowiak struck again for a 14-6 St. Norbert's lead.

Plagued by a sputtering offense, Wabash was forced to rely on kicker Toni Barrick for all its fireworks as the Little Giants escaped with a 6-3 victory over surprisingly-tough Kenyon. The visiting Lords, 1-5 entering the game, gave an aroused effort for interim coach Bill Heiser, who replaced hospitalized Tom McHugh. The Little Giants, now 6-1, penetrated several times but were unable to take the lead for good until midway through the fourth quarter.

True's catch set an all-time Tiger reception record of 44.

(AP) Veteran Mac McLendon pulled his game together on the back nine, fought off course record 64s by two young challengers and clung to first place in the Pensacola Open after Saturday's third round with a 17-under-par 199. McLendon birdied five holes after playing the front nine in par 36 and posted a 67, following earlier rounds of 65 and 67.

Wayne Levi, 25, in his second year on the PGA tour, and rookie Mark McCum-ber, 27, fired the 64s on the Perdido Bay Country Club course and moved into challenging positions. Levi was at 202, only three strokes behind the leader. McCumber rocketed into a third-place tie at 204 with D.A. Weibring, who had a third-round 67. "I'VE NEVER been that many under par in my life after three rounds," McLendon said.

"I feel with a 199 on this golf course I should be 10 strokes ahead THE EXPLOSIVE STORY OF ONE OF BASEBALL'S MOST EXCITING PLAYERS instead of three, but you can't believe how much the quality of golf has improved on the tour. The young players are so good they don't need a couple years experience before they challenge." McCumber blazed through the front nine in 30. He eagled the 560-yard sixth with a 25-foot putt and had four birdies. On the back nine, a pair of birdies on short putts put him eight-under-par, but he bogeyed the 173-yard 17th "when I steered the ball for the only time in the round and missed the green." McCumber got his playing card last spring after failing in five previous PGA qualifying schools. "I've been on the leader board before, but always came down in a hurry," he said.

"This time I tried to play smart but aggressive golf." It was only the second tournament of the 12 he has entered that his wife wasn't along to watch. "I hope she misses something exciting Sunday," McCumber said. QQ59 Per Month 'Plus Tax, License, Insurance. Stock 63 THE OFFICIAL mm.
