rr: Purdue Misses Its Mark, Irish Roll i 0 I 7 Section zj, The Ivdmvapous Stak SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 7. 1980 Financial ft By JOHN BANSCH Assistant Sports Editor South Bend, Ind. Sept. 6, 1980 will always he remembered as a day the Purdue football team minus quarterback Mark Herrmann was shelled, 31-10, by Notre Dame.

It should be remembered as the day the powerful Irish totally dominated the Boilermakers. No one can ever deny the ninth-ranked Purdues were hurt by the absence of Herrmann, their brilliant passer forced to the sidelines with a severely bruised right thumb. However, the outcome of the confrontation was not decided by Herrmann's inactivity. Notre Dame clearly won the season opener. The Irish controlled every phase of the contest which was witnessed by the usual sellout of 59,075 on the warm, sunny afternoon, as well as a massive national television audience.

While the Purdues are counting their wounds, the Irish faithful can cheer their heroes quarterback Mike Courey, tailback Phil Carter and the men who man the offensive and defensive lines. Scott Campbell, a freshman from Hershey, did a commendable Job in replacing Herrmann. His performance in the second period kept the Boilermakers in the battle. It was his teammates who were outclassed. NOTRE DAME surged to a 17-0 lead in the first 19 minutes, saw its advantage dwindle to 17-10 at haltime, then scored on its initial second-half possession to beat the Purdues for the fifth time in the last six meetings between the two teams.

Courey ran 14 yards for one Irish touchdown, passed 9 yards to wide receiver Tony Hunter for another six points and completed 10 of. 13 passes for 149 yards, 8 more than he had gained via the airways in three previous seasons with Notre Dame. Carter, who appears to be a more than able replacement for Vagas Ferguson, rushed for 142 yards in 29 carries and soared 1 yard for another N.D. touchdown. The other Irish points came on a 2-yard run by reserve fullback Rob'McGarry in his first carry as a Notre Dame back and via the foot of Harry Oliver, who booted a 36-yard field goal and four extra points.

Another Story, Picture, Page 7 Wally Jones' 4-yard lunging effort 34 seconds from the conclusion of the first half produced Purdue's lone touchdown. Rick Anderson added the remainder of the Boilermaker points on a conversion and a 26-yard field goal. HERRMANN TOOK a couple of snaps in pre-game drills, attempted to put the ball skyward and then walked off the field. "The way I was throwing made the decision easy," said the senior quarterback. "I knew I couldn't play after the very first throw.

I just wasn't putting any zip on the ball. Taking snaps was also very painful." Purdue Coach Jim Young said he had "decided Friday (hat Mark wasn't going to be able to play." But when the swelling went down late Friday there was some hope in the Purdue camp the quarterback would be able to perform. Young had only praise for Campbell, who completed 10 straight passes in the second quarter and finished with 17 completions in 26 attempts for 178 Perhaps even more impressive was the fact Campbell never threw an interception or caused a fumble. "Campbell did a super job," asserted Young. "He's a great competitor and he's got an awful lot of poise.

It's an awful lot to ask a freshman to go out and beat a team the caliber of Notre Dame." Campbell admitted to "being nervous" but said, "I wasn' scared. Normally, I'd be feeling high by having the opportunity to start against Notre Dame but I'm not because we lost." BOB CRABLE, the junior Irish linebacker well on his way tr all-American honors, put the situation in perspective, "that Mark Herrmann is quite a man and a Heisman Trophy See IRISH, Page 2 PURDUE QUARTERBACK SCOTT CAMPBELL IS SACKED BY NOTRE DAME'S JOE GRAMKE (92) Third Down Play Resulted In 8-Yard Lou And Boilermakers Had To Punt 'BRAKES9 GO AGAINST CHASSEY FOR 2ND YEAR Bettenhausen Wins Hoosier Hundred "My car started working better for some reason after that last yellow and I was able to change my groove and go around him," explained Gary. Passing was pretty much nonexistent because of the follow-the-leader condition of the track. The groove, as such, was just a couple feet off the inside fence and if you strayed just a bit too far out away you went into the powdered dust that was a cushion 20 years ago. But the winner was able to run a little wider pattern.

"Somebody dropped oil during that yellow and it was right where Steve had to run his right rear tire," continued Bettenhausen. "He began getting looser and looser and I was able to move out a car length and run straighter and straighter coming off the corners. "I FINALLY got enough momentum to pull alongside him and get by." Chassey, who paced the first 69 laps a year ago before his inability to stop dropped him to a sixth-place finish, took his misfortune in stride. "What can you do?" shrugged the current USAC sprint leader. "When it's hard and slick, you've really got to depend on your brakes and my rear ones started going out with about 40 laps left.

With 25 laps to go the fronts went away and I didh't have any brakes at the end. "It was pretty easy up to then and I See DIRT, Page 8 By ROBIN MILLER In auto racing, there are good breaks and bad brakes. In Saturday's 28th annual Hoosier Hundred, Gary Bettenhausen got the former and Steve Chassey experienced the latter. And that turned out to be the winning margin. 1 Bettenhausen, whose career has had more crests and dips than a rough sea, sailed around the fading Chassey with only 23 laps remaining to bag the gem of the United States Auto Club's dirt series.

Gary written off as a competitive race driver after his left arm was severely injured six years ago in a dirt race at Syracuse, N.Y., came through with his third triumph in five 1980 shows as he covered the 100-mile classic in 1:04 26 at an average speed of 93.111 miles an hour. Chassey, struck down by the same mechanical plight a year ago while leading, held on gamely to take second while Pancho Carter moved closer to another USAC title with a third-place showing. Bill Vukovich wrestled a smoking machine to fourth and Chris Cumberworth came through with his second fine effort in a row to secure fifth. Chassey. the fast qualifier in 1979, was out in front for the initial 76 trips.

Starting second, he snatched the lead from polesitter Joe Saldana diving into the first turn and moved out to several comfortable advantages on the hard, slick Indiana State Fairgrounds mile. AROUND ABOUT Lap 60 or so, however, Chassey's brakes began failing and he began slowing. Bettenhausen began catching up with a little push from Lady Luck. After spending most of the race in third place, Gary B. tried taking second away from Larry Rice on the 62nd circuit.

He got too wide, Bobby Olivero ducked underneath him and suddenly he was fourth. But Rice, the 1977 dirt titlist, had his afternoon end up against the third-turn cement after his engine cut loose on Lap 68 and Carter, with nowhere to go, shoved Larry into the wall. While the yellow flag was out, Olivero, the defending Hoosier and USAC dirt champ, was black-flagged after running some 20 laps with smoke pouring out of his HodgdonCurb Chevy. So with the demise of Rice and Olivero. Bettenhausen found himself sitting second right behind Chassey when the green was waved on the 74th go-around.

AFTER SIZLNG up his crippled competitor, B. motored past Steve heading into the first corner to start the 77th circuit. From there, he steadily pulled away and by the checkered flag Bettenhausen was more than a straightaway ahead of Chassey.

She began her comeback in March, after taking three months away from the sport. "For six weeks I didn't pick up a racket," she recalled. "Then one day I went out and hit some balls with John (husband John Lloyd, a British pro). It was fun for me.

That was when I knew I was ready to come back." And come back she has, winning six of seven tournaments since rejoining the tour and compiling a stunning 42-1 match record losing only to Evonne Goolagong in the Wimbledon final. In Friday's semifinals Lloyd beat defending champion Tracy Austin, the No. 1 player in both the seedings and the computer rankings and the only one she had not previously beaten since her return to action. And Saturday she rallied to defeat Mandlikova, the ninth-seeded Czech with the big serve and volley game. Mandlikova, well aware that she could not hope to match strokes with Lloyd from the baseline, rushed to the net at every opportunity.

The tactic worked well enough in the first set, when she won five of the last six games and broke Lloyd's serve without losing a point to close out the set. But the 25-year-old Lloyd, seeded third, broke right back to start the second set and began to score more consistently with her passing shots. Mandlikova attacking game fell apart as she committed frequent unforced errors on her approaches and her volleys. LLOYD'S dominance of the final two sets was every bit as complete as in her victory over Austin, when she recovered from a slow start to win, 4-6. 6-1, 6-1.

"I was afraid I might feel a letdown after beating Tracy, but I woke up today eager to go," she said. "Hana was playing brilliantly in the first two sets, but it New York (AP) Chris Evert Lloyd wore down 18-year-old Hana Mandlikova with her steady baseline strokes and captured her fifth U.S. Open tennis championship with an emotion-charged 5-7, 6-1, 6-1 victory Saturday. "This has been the toughest Open of all for me and the most emotional," said Lloyd, who earned a first prize of $46,000 from the total purse of $654,082. "For two years I kept reading about how I was no longer No.

1. It was discouraging. I lost a little faith in myself." Now that faith has been restored, and Chris Evert Lloyd, the former queen of tennis, is back on her throne. THE KING OF tennis, five-time Wimbledon champion Bjorn Borg of Sweden, kept his hopes alive for his first Open crown by rallying from a two-set deficit and winning his semifinal match against unseeded Johan Kriek of South Africa, 4-6, 44, 6-1, 6-1, 6-1. Borg, the top seed who has now won the last 13 five-set matches he's played, will face defending champion John McEnroe in today's men's singles final.

The second-seeded McEnroe gained the final by outslugging third-seeded Jimmy Connors, 6-4, 5-7, 0-6, 6-3, 7-6 in a brilliant exhibition of power tennis that lasted 4 hours and 15 minutes, starting out under bright sunshine and ending under the lights. McEnroe won the dramatic fifth-set tiebreaker, 7-3, closing it out with a service winner. Lloyd, who won the Open from 1975 through 1978 before being dethroned by Tracy Austin in 1979, appeared drained after her victory. "I'm thrilled," she said simply, when asked her feelings. "I really wanted to win this tournament." Lloyd's victory, a popular one with the capacity crowd of 18.586 at the National Tennis Center, capped her remarkable CHRIS EVERT LLOYD SALUTES FIFTH TITLE Overcomes Young Hana Mandlikova In U.S.
