Oliver kicks 47-ynrd field goal Noltre Dame ties Tecli9 33 ilpGDIJtS Section zj The Indianapolis Star sunday, november 9, 1980 Financial By BOB COLLINS, Star Sports Editor Atlanta It's too bad Ronald Reagan changed jobs. Notre Dame used to win one now and then for the Gipper. But on their own, the best the Irish could do Saturday was a 3-3 tie with Georgia Tech. Unbeaten Notre Dame entered the contest the No. 1-ranked college football team in the nation.

Georgia Tech was simply rank, with a 1-7 record and a defense that was the epitome of southern politeness. Neither team overwhelmed the audience of 40,226 with a glittering display of collegiate footba 1. However, if Georgian Jimmy Carter had done as well in the wm' ia" stl" te around waiting for the rural vote to come in -which Notre Dame seemed to be doing Saturday: The Yellow Jackets went ahead, 3-0, with 6: 11 remaining in the second quarter the handtetars Jhn Sm'th' TeSl W8y they simply held onto AND ABOUT THE ONLY times they were tossed off were when Notre Dame drives came to. abrupt halts. Georgia Tech came out breathing fire.

But Notre Dame always seemed on the verge of taking command. It was like patiently waiting for the deluge only to discover it had arrived disguised as a trickle. Georgia Tech got its three with a drive that began after the Irish had punted from a fourth-and-two-foot situation on their own 46. And Smith's kick did seem to bring the Irish out of their sluniber. Jim Stone raced 22 yards on the first play after the Irish got the ball.

The drive died, but the Irish got the ball back when Ronnie Cone fumbled on the Yellow Jackets' 21 and Bob Crable recovered. 11 yards. But on the fifth try he fumbled. Lance Skelton recovered on the Georgia Tech 31. Scratch another drive.

Carter fumbled again, this time at the Notre Dame 12. Robert Jaracz snared the ball for Georgia Tech and it looked like it was choke time in Dixie. But Stacey Toran, a freshman from Indianapolis Broad Ripple, saved the whole kit and (caboodle. Stacey intercepted a Ted Peeoples' pass on the 1 and took it back to the 11. Mike Courey, who replaced Kiel at quarterback, then lit a fire.

It still was flickering though weakly after he bobbled a center snap and lost four yards to the Georgia Tech 37. MIKE HIT TRIM TRIPP for 8, but it was fourth and 4. This time, however, Oliver was good with a 47-yard field goal. That made it, 3-3. The clock read: 4:44.

The Irish made it back to the Tech 43, but another fumble this one by Stone nailed them to the floor. Georgia Tech, not the least bit interested in a tie, went for the bundle from fourth and 1 on their own 49. No deal. The Irish got it with 1:21 to play still time for a big, Hollywood finish. Kiel, back in and throwing from the shotgun, connected with Pete Holohan for 6 yards.

On the next play, however, he was sacked by Mooney for a 16-yard loss. That made it fourth and 20 on the Notre Dame 42 game, match and tie. Late in the contest the Georgia Tech crowd was chanting, "Who's No. We See IRISH, Page 8 Then Blair Kiel looked opportunity in the eye and blinked. His pass was tipped by John Mooney and intercepted by Duane Wood at the 16.

"Laurel" then lateraled to "Hardy" via a 19-yard punt by Jeff Pierce and the Irish gqt it again at the Georgia Tech 34. They then stalled at the 9 and Harry Oliver tried a field goal from the 17. The kick split the uprights. It also hit the crossbar and bounced back. So the half ended with Georgia Tech in front, 3-0.

THE YELLOW JACKETS HAD their wagons gathered in a circle for most of the third quarter. But the Irish kept hitting the doughnuts instead of the holes. Kiel got intercepted right off, but the Irish came back and raced to the Georgia Tech 27. There they stood and watched as the officials marched off two straight penalties. So much for that one.

Phil Carter, injured against Michigan State, entered combat for the first time in five weeks with 13:42 left in the game. He carried the ball four straight times for sim ts lfw mmiM tis wo Bn(iIl fosxslk sj ri in. i i 4Ci fc ''ill ii ifc. a 4. ye-, v.

t- h. 10 record with 163 catches to his credit. (Star Photos by Jerry Clark) It was on unhappy combination for Iowa's Hawkeyes Mark Herrmann to Dave Young. Herrmann, left, passed for 439 yards and three touchdowns to lead the 1 7th-ranked Boilermakers to a 58- 13 victory. Young, middle and right, is seen in catching and running form as he hauls in one of his eight receptions from Herrmann for a day's total of 143 yards.

The receptions gave Young the career Big Purdue Mark-SHianship bombs Hawkeyes Big Ten Standings Com Ail Camn Ohio son i PUROUI 4 1 Micltioifl A 0 1 2 Minnesota 4 3 0 4 Iowa 3 3 0 3 0 Illinois 3 4 0 3 4 1 INDIANA 14 4 14 4 Wisconsin I 4 3 i 4 Michigan St I 5 4 2 7 0 Northwattarn 0 4 0 10 4 lished. He was off to the races and so were they. Cranking out completions with machinegun-like precision, the Carmel senior connected on 24 of 36 attempts without suffering an interception while exceeding the 400-yard distance for the first time in his brilliant four-year career. ONCE HE HIT on six consecutive shots and twice he strung five together ultimately breaking his own NCAA career yardage record of 1,031 against a single opponent and hiking past his single-season best of 2,453 with two battles still to be fought. Combining almost exclusively with the elusive Bryant before seeking out the talented mitts of Bart Burrell and Dave Young, Herrmann ran his NCAA total against Iowa to 1,115 and his 1980 count to 2,471.

His last pass, a 9-yarder to Young for the touchdown that made it 51-7, relegated the 429 yards of Mike Phipps against Stanford in 1969 to second place in the list of Purdue aerial accomplishments. It also gave him 1,151 collegiate completions as Purdue heads for its showdown struggle with Michigan in the See Purdue, Page 7 maining, records had fallen like confetti on a returning war hero. Herrmann, who posts some sort of standard about every time he cocks his arm, needed only a couple of minutes to shoot down John Reaves' NCAA mark of 1,128 career completions. Needing just two, Herrmann gunned a 41-yarder to flanker Steve Bryant on the third play and popped into No. 1 spot two plays later, hitting Bryant again for 25 yards as the Boilers flashed toward their first TD after the opening kickoff.

Thus, a trend both for Herrmann and the Boilermakers' was clearly estab their sixth straight in the Big Ten this year and 20th in a row over the harassed Hawkeyes. Seven touchdowns three on Herrmann aerials as well as a trio of field goals and seven conversions by foot specialist Rick Anderson kept the scoreboard flickering like a pinball machine. It was 10-7 at the end of one quarter, 13-7 at the half and 51-7 at the three-quarter mark as the Boilermakers landed a 4-touchdown haymaker in that latter period. WHEN COACH Jim Young finally By MAX STULTZ Star Sportswriter West Lafayette, Ind. With blood in their eyes but charity in their hearts, Purdue's Boilermakers destroyed Iowa as humanely as possible Saturday before a roaring Ross-Ade Stadium throng of 68,775.

Leaning almost solely on the rampant right wing of quarterback Mark Herrmann, who set a school passing record of 439 yards despite sitting out the entire fourth quarter, the Boilermakers marauded to a massive 58-13 triumph, pulled the plug following Wally Jones' 1-yard dive into the end zone and Anderson's final conversion with 11:39 re I.U.'s forecast: cold December By JOHN BANSCH, Assistant Sports Editor Minneapolis The long-range December weather forecast is in for Indiana's football team. It reads bitter cold. possession of the football they were in total command from that point on. THE TURN OF events went from bad to worse for the Crimson as the long afternoon wore on. First, quarterback Tim Clifford departed the battle with a bruised upper-left chest with 5 minutes remaining in the first half.

He was never to return after being slammed to the soggy turf by a savage blindside tackle administered by Gopher defensive end Jeff Schuh. That was just one of four sacks by the Minnesota wingman who led a brilliant defensive effort by the winners. Up until the time he was hurt, Clifford had only 2 completions in 7 attempts for See I.U., Page 7 Butler takes Top Dog honors, 7-6 By DAVID KNIGHT I Two college football rivals, Butler and Indiana Central, played their guts out Saturday afternoon for a little gold-plated football trophy some wisenheimer dreamed up back in 1971. Costs about $35.95 at a garage sale. Evidently, the reason for it all is to show at what lengths college kids might go to keep that trophy in their display case.

Some kind of king of the mountain game for college football players. A social experiment with footballs. Butler is king of the mountain this after defeating Indiana Central, 7-6, in front of 4,072 in Butler Bowl. vThey're the 1980 Top Dogs in Indianapo-Mis. They reclaim the trophy from the Greyhounds for a year.

It was anything a social. For 60 minutes, the two Heartland Conference elevens traded -some of the hardest hitting this side of a prize fight. With 6:07 left in the third quarter, I Butler sophomore quarterback Curt Roy -looped a 19-yard touchdown pass through several Greyhounds' paws, to freshman Streiff in the far corner of the end 'zone. Randy Hitchcock's kick made it 7, Indiana Central 6. I UNTIL THEN, the Bulldogs' Roy, "starting in place of senior Mike McGeorge, who has an injured ankle, "because he's more mobile against the rush," according to Coach Bill been able to move his Butler team against Central just so far, always on the 1 wrong side of the goal line when the four downs expired.

I The Greyhounds' rush pestered Roy entire first half. Led by Leo Hickam. Steve Stevason and Dennis Young up front. Central sacked Roy three times in See BUTLER Page 4 I 1 VaUa ff That prediction is based upon the Hoosiers' dismal showing on a dreary, blustery, overcast 44-degree day Saturday when they closed shop early and suffered a 31-7 whipping from Minnesota before a slim turnout of 30,092. It was by far the poorest Crimson performance this autumn.

In the process, Indiana lost for the third time in its last four starts while seeing its overall record drop to 5-4 and its Big Ten standard to 2-4. All season Hoosier Coach Lee Corso has been telling his troops and fans "the more games we win the warmer it will be in December." Corso must now forget that message and attempt to instill some pride in his battered and beleaguered warriors who face Illinois and Purdue in their final two games of 1980. MINNESOTA, on the other hand, has now won three straight, is also 5-4 for the season and has hopes of finishing strong with Michigan State and Wisconsin its last two foes. All four of its losses have come to teams currently ranked in the nation's top 20. The Hoosiers seemed to lose all of their intensity less than four minutes into this joust as they lost for the eighth straight time to the Gophers here in Memorial Stadium.

If there was one play which set the tone it was the Hoosiers' failure to move the football less than a yard" on fourth down at their 48 with 11:35 remaining in the first quarter. Tailback Lonnie Johnson was the carrier on the key maneuver which turned the ball over to Minnesota. Even though the Gophers did not score after gaining State, Big Ten Seores Campbell had intercepted a pass thrown by Butler quarterback Curt Roy.
