TTw DDaDwinio Latest Poll: Carter ,254, Irish 26, Michigan State 21 (Dime IT (Bab Phils Are In 11. (nv yV i vJ By BILL BENNER Star Sportswriter East Lansing, Mich. If the! one Carter could run for the Presidency the way another Carter runs for Notre Dame, there'd be no need for the November election. That's because late Saturday afternoon, with all precincts reporting in from Spartan Stadium, it was tailback Phil Carter by a landslide and Notre Dame hanging on to his coattails by just enough to subdue Michigan State, 26-21. What the 5-10, 190-pound sophomore from Tacoma, did to unravel the upset hopes of the Spartans amounted to more than just peanuts, that's for sure.

First of all, he broke and then, unfortunately, "unbroke" the Notre Dame single-game rushing record. His first 39 carries on the overcast, 40-degree afternoon netted him 257 yards, enough to surpass Vagas Ferguson's standard of 255. However, on his 40th carry (which is a record), he was thrown for a 3-yard loss and had to retire for the remainder of the game with a bruised thigh. Thus, a net of "only" 254. YET, EVEN THAT final misfortune had its bright side.

Carter also fumbled on the play and, with the Irish leading only by 23-21 at the time, a change of possession might have proved fatal. But he managed to gather the football back in as he was slammed to the artificial surface, and Notre Dame went on' to collect Harry Oliver's fourth field goal of the day a 32-yarder with only 46 seconds remaining which effectively put the game out of State's reach. Thus, the Irish had claimed their fifth consecutive victory in this intense, intercollegiate rivalry. More importantly, the seventh-rated contingent of Coach Dan Devine had completed a Big Ten "Triple" wins over Purdue, Michigan and Michigan State an achievement few thought possible going the season. "I've said that we're i good squad with great character," said Devine.

"Now I'd like to see us become a great squad with great character." That character showed as Notre Dame rallied from a first quarter deficit of 9-0 and a halftime score of 9-6. The Irish, relying on a standout running game that eventually totaled 405 of their 509 yards of total offense, finally took the lead on Carter's 12-yard run from a pitchout with 5:33 left in the third quarter. The touchdown and Oliver's point-after made it, 13-9. THEN MORE OF THE same Carter left, Carter right produced an Oliver field goal from 27 yards and a 16-9 advantage with 10 minutes remaining in the game. Nevertheless, the fun was just beginning for the capacity crowd of 76,821 jammed into the stadium.

Michigan State (1-3), its offense laying dormant for more than two quarters, took the ensuing kickoff and traveled 69 yards in just four plays. Tailback Steve Smith got loose for 34 yards, quarterback John Leister passed to split end Ted Jones on a slant-in pattern for 21 more and tailback Anthony Ellis went the final 13 with a strong run off tackle. That closed it to 16-15, 8 48 to play. Then the Spartans, after first sending out placekick-er Morten Andersen, elected to play for two points on See I1JISH, Page 7 MICHIGAN STATE QUARTERBACK JOHN LEISTER IS WRAPPED UP BY THE IRISH Ulster Was 11-32 Passing For 204 Yards, But The Irish Nipped The Spartans 26-21 Saturday Section zj imrrriRL)frsi The Indianapolis Star SUNDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1980 rfon reaLUP.n wthout hesiUtion Mike Schmidt christened his divlsion-cluiching blast as the greatest in his incredible parade of home runs. C'ubb a two-run blast with one out in the 11th Saturday to give the PnUadelpnia Phillies victory over the Montreal Expos and their fourth division title in the last five years.

"I don't even have to think about it. This is number one," said Schmidt. whose major league leading 48th homer of the year strengthened his bid to win the National League's Most Valuable Player award. "This was such a great ballgame. I think the worst thing that could have happened to us would have been to lose," Schmidt said amid flying champagne corks in the Phillies' dressing room.

"The championship could have still been decided tomorrow (Sunday) but there were so many highs, so many emotional peaks in that game, I think we would have been absolutely drained." THE ALL-STAR third baseman paid a tribute to the Expos, who were nudged out of the pennant race on the final weekend of the season for the second straight year. "They are a great ballclub but I don't think they've had enough adversity yet," he said. "Maybe one more year of frustration will put them on top." Tug McGraw in recording his fifth victory against four defeats pitched three innings of scoreless relief, giving him a string of 26 consecutive innings without an earned run over IS games. 'Today's ballgame was incredible. I don't know when I've seen two teams stage such an incredible show of just how badly they wanted to win," said McGraw.

Pete Rose opened the top of the 11th inning by drilling a 2-0 pitch for a single-to right off Stan Bahnsen, who was beginning his second inning of relief. Bake McBride then popped out to catcher Gary Carter before Schmdit walloped his game-winning homer to break Eddie Matthews' single season mark for a third baseman. MCGRAW INCREASED his record to 5-4 with three innings of scoreless relief. He recorded his 20th save in the Phillies 2-1 victory Friday by striking out five of the six batters he faced. McGraw has not yielded an earned run in 26 Innings, covering a stretch of IS games.

Schmidt, the major leagues leading home run hitter, keyed the Phillies' stretch drive to the half-pennant with four home runs in the past four games and five in the last eight. The Phillies tied the score in the ninth inning on a walk to Rose, a forceout, an Infield out and Bob Boone's clutch single up the middle. PJnch-hitter Ramon Aviles struck out to end the inning. Earlier, Jerry White drove in three runs with a two-run homer and a sacrifice fly and Rodney Scott doubled in a run that gave the Expos a 44 lead going into the ninth. So Are Yanks New York (AP) Reggie Jackson is living up to his reputation as "Mr.

October." Jackson crashed his third home run in as many games this month, a mammoth, tie-breaking three-run shot in the fifth inning, and powered the New York Yankees to the American League East Division title with a 5-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers Saturday. "Reggie did it. He turned the game around. That's all you can say," said Manager Dick Howser after the first game of the doubleheader. The Tigers won the second game of the doubleheader, 7-6.

Howser led the Yankees to their fourth division crown in five years in his rookie season as a major league manager. JACKSON'S 41ST homer of the season and 410th of his career capped a four-run rally that wiped out a 2-1 Detroit lead and eliminated the second-place Baltimore Orioles. "I got a really good ball to hit," Jackson said, "and I looked up in the sky ana said, 'Thanks for letting me hit "He (loser Roger Weaver) threw me breaking balls early, but they were all in and I kept fouling them off. "This time, I was really thinking base hit. I told myself P.R.M.

pace, relax, hit the ball up the middle. The first pitch was a fastball up high. The next one was a curveball right over the middle of the plate." "I could have hit it out," said Weaver (3-4). The ball soared into Yankee Stadium's third deck In right field, an estimated T5-80 feet above the 353-foot sign. JUST KNEW it made the score 5-2 and gave us a three-run lead and Rudy May would only have to pitch two more innings before Gossage would come Jackson said.

"I dedicated it to Dick (Howser)," Jackson said. "I told him, 'I hit the first 30 for myself, the next 10 for your wife and this one for "I was a couple of days late to spring training and he had a chance to really blast me, but he said, 'I'm not worried about Reggie; I know he is in He was being a gentleman, like Earl Weaver when I played for him. Weaver thought I was better than I was, and Howser's been the same way. He's been my friend and I appreciate very much playing for him." The Yankees will begin the best-of-five American League playoffs Wednesday at Kansas City against the Royals, the team they defeated for the A L. pennant in 1976, 1977 and 1978.

But Not Astros Los Angeles (AP) Los Angeles first baseman Steve Garvey had not hit a borne run against Houston all season until his blast in the fourth inning lifted his club to a 2-1 triumph and sent the National League West into the final day of the regular season today with the Dodgers trailing the Astros by one game. "Pressure is what the game of baseball is all about," said Garvey after the' Dodgers edged the Astros by a single run for the second straight game. Houston came to Los Angeles needing one victory in three games to clinch the division, but now must win today to prevent a one-game playoff here Monday. "I THINK NOLAN Ryan got his fastball out a little bit. He started me with a curve and then came the fastball.

I was sure it was gone when I hit it," Garvey added. The score was tied 1-r at the time and lefthander Jerry Reuss shut out the Astros the rest of the way, scattering seven hits. Asked about the two straight Dodger victories and their effect on Houston, Garvey said, "I'd be concerned. They have a one-game lead but we have momentum. "Yes, I'd be concerned." Dodgers center fielder Pedro Guerrero made a key catch in the ninth to retire Jose Cruz even though he had trouble with the lighting.

"It wasn't so much the sun, but it was the smog and the white shirts of all the fans," said Guerrero. GUERRERO MISPLAYED a hit to center in the fourth inning that brought in the lone Astros' run. The Dodgers' first run came in the second as Garvey led off with a bloop single and scored on a two-out single by Derrel Thomas. The Astros tied the score in the fourth when Jose Cruz singled, stole second and came home on Art Howe's two-out single to center. Reuss (18-6) matched his career-high in victories with his eighth win in 10 decisions.

The Los Angeles lefthander walked one and struck out a season-high seven. Nolan Ryan (11-10) took the loss, his eighth in nine career decisions against Los Angeles. Ryan has not defeated the Dodgers since 1968 when he was with the New York Mets. Financial JOIISO TIES SINGLE-GAME BVSBISG BECOBD Hoosiers Limp By Duke, 31-21 INDIANA, WHICH has won three straight non-league games after dropping its opener to Iowa, seemed to lack concentration at times and probably should have won by a much larger margin. Even so, the Crimson is the only Big Ten team to win all three of its games against outside foes and is now 5-1 the last two seasons in non-conference affairs.

Of more concern to Corso and his squad is the condition of Clifford and the other wounded warriors. Clifford departed in the second quarter with a deep bruise on his right knee. The injury occurred when he took a shot just after stepping into the end zone on a 15-yard keeper play around the left side to give I.U. a 17-0 advantage with 7:17 remaining in the initial half. It is believed he will be ready for this Saturday's homecoming game here against Wisconsin, but no final determination will be made until a later date.

ALSO INJURED were linebacker Kevin Kenley (hip pointer); defensive end Dennis Edwards (hand); cornerback Terry Galloway (ankle); offensive guard Kevin Speer (knee); linebacker Marl in Evans (leg), and Johnson (thigh). Speer's injury appears to be the most serious. It is feared he may have a dislocated knee. Johnson's sore thigh appears to be the least serious. Duke, now 0-4, was far outclassed in the opening half of the first meeting between the two teams.

It appeared the Hoosiers, who have outscored their last three foes 116-58. were on their way to another lopsided victory until Clifford was hurt. On the initial play of Indiana's next possession, quarterback Chad Huck's pass was intercepted by Ed Brown at Duke's 39 and returned to the Crimson 44. From there, it took Duke just three plays to score, the clincher being a 29-yard bomb from Ben Bennett to Chris Castor in the right corner of the end zone. THAT PUT THE count 17-7 at halftime and when See HOOSIERS, Page 7 By JOHN BANSCH Assistant Sports Editor Bloomington, Ind.

There's good news and bad news emanating from the Indiana football camp in the wake of Saturday's less than intense 31-21 triumph over Duke. The good news is that Lonnie Johnson's record-equaling 211-yard rushing performance brought the Hoosiers' running game out of the closet for the first time this autumn. The bad news is that seven players including quarterback Tim Clifford left the scene of battle with injuries. Johnson was magnificent before a crowd of 43,120 on the cloudy, 47-degree afternoon en route to matching Courtney Snyder's school rushing standard established against Purdue in 1975. The senior, whom I.U.

Coach Lee Corso terms "the best all-around back in the Big Ten," amassed his yards on 32 carries the shortest of which was a 1-yard scoring thrust in the third period and the longest being a 47-yard burst on a sprint draw in the first period. JOHNSON'S 211 yards were part of a 350-yard ground attack which also featured an 87-yard effort by Mike who scored the final Crimson TD on a 5-yard run 15 seconds from the finish. "It was something we had to do," Johnson said afterward. "We were getting lazy as tacks." added Harkrader. "The line has been opening up the holes.

We had to prove we could get into the secondary and do something with the holes." When Johnson wasnt lugging the football he took time to throw one pass to Clifford for a 6-yard gain deep in Duke territory in the opening quarter after taking a lateral from the quarterback. On the next play, however, Clifford fumbled the football over to the outmanned Blue Devils at the losers' 13 in a maneuver which was oft-times typical of the contest.

And the result was a 28-3 college football victory over Miami of Ohio. Miami was leading, 3-0, in the second quarter. The Redskins already had lost Qhuck Hauk, their only experienced quarterback. But three will look good airy time the opponent has zero and the Purdues were not making any overt moves toward Sneaking the skin of the pig across the goal. THE OFFENSE was so bad Young couldn't believe it.

Miami defenders were getting almost as many clear shots at his misguided missiles as Purdue receivers. He had pitched two interceptions and several, hey, look outs.

Take it and call it the way you see fit." After the game.
