It had started as a third-and-two play from of L's 34, and the pass was badly underthrown. But instead of punting, the Cardinals had a 39-yard gain.

Tailback Ron Davenport, who rushed for 70 yards in 15 carries, scored the first of his three touchdowns on a three-y3rd run after May and Clayton had teamed up on a 24-yard completion. "Personally, I didn't think it (the interference) was a good call, but I'm glad we got it," said of defensive line coach Dave Browne. "I'm not sure anything should have been called," Williams said. "The man stopped, I kept going and we collided." A scoring circus seemed in the offing when Memphis State took the ensuing kickoff and- rambled 52 yards in only six plays. But on first down at the of 14, freshman quarterback Page Be-longy mishandled a snap and linebacker Dave Arthur recovered.

That was the first of six turnovers three lost fumbles and three interceptions that Memphis State would commit. And of buoyed by a rough-ing-the-punter penalty, promptly moved 80 yards In nine plays, scoring on May's TD throw to Clayton on the first play of the second quarter. Phil Ellis' kick made it 14-0. "It was really gratifying to see our guys come into this place and play so well on both sides of the line," Weber said. "Getting through the first half without a turnover in those conditions was a huge factor and so was our defense shutting down Memphis State's comeback." Before that rally started, of led 24-0, having scored on Davenport's one-yard run in the second, quarter and a 24-yard field goal by Ellis in the third period.

Ironically, the touchdown came five plays after an apparent 57-yard TD catch by Clayton, one that would have given him a record-tying 11th career scoring reception. Instead, a clipping penalty on Kiki Humphries reduced the gain to 40 yards before the 15-yard penalty assessment. But Humphries caught a pass for 12 yards and Davenport broke loose for 11 and seven before taking it in. Memphis State began its move when Dwayne Ricketts' one-yard plunge capped a I4-play, 80-yard march. Then, trailing 24-7, the Tigers set up shop at of L's 20 after linebacker Johnny Walker picked off a Uhilouall 721 1QWSI1- M7r lx Flu rm PI658DR13 1RI2UI3 4.1.88 P17580R13 Hxi 57.88 PIR5RORI3 (I3 59.8 PI7575RII Bill 57.8 PIR575RI4 Cxll S9.4Z PI9375RI4 D-lxIt 3.S P20573RI4 Fx 14 I.S P2I575HI4 CxU 87.84 P22S75RI4 tlx i 89.89 P20375RI5 Fx 1 5 9.95 P21575H15 Cxl5 72.SS P22575RI5 11x15 89.95 P23575R15 IxlS 79.95 White Letters 721 I I 1IRl SIJF Alif Fll PHK P20570RI3 Cxl3 51.87 P195bOR14H.P.R (ill 47.92 P20.V70RI4 IHI4 57.88 P20575RI4 Fxll 57.85 P2I575RI5 Cxi 5 89.85 P22575RI5 11x15 59.88 P2357SRI5BlfVj 1.15 87.88 May pass and returned it 26 yards.

Quarterback Trell Hooper scored from the one six plays later, and it remained 24-13 after the placement sailed wide left The home team quickly got the ball back on a punt and moved 34 yards, to a first down at of L's 49, in only two plays. But after a procedure penalty made it first and 15 wiping out an eight-yard run Hooper rolled to his right, cut upfield and was blasted by monster back Robert Wilson. Safety Sebastian Curry, who also had an interception, wrapped himself around the resulting fumble at Memphis State's 49. of L's much-maligned defense held Memphis State to 374 yards 70 of those on a late TD drive against the second string. Linebacker Anthony "Hammer" Williams led the way with 13 tackles, nine of them unassisted.

That gave him 121 solo stops for the year 21 fewer than Doug Buffone's school record despite playing all season on a bad knee. And surprising help came from Kelly Stickrod, who was converted in a week's time from offensive guard to nose guard and made five tackles. "Everybody rallied around because Kelly was trying something new," said defensive coordinator Dave Nusz. "His size and strength really helped us." After Curry's recovery, the Cardinals scored on Davenport's two-yard run in eight plays the biggest, by far, a 26-yard ramble by Willie Shelby. The freshman tailback, who led of with 85 yards in 19 trips, took the ball on fourth and one at the Memphis State 27 and slipped cleanly through left tackle behind a block by tight end Dave Hatfield.

"They were all bunched up in the middle and there was a nice crack open for me," Shelby said. All that remained, besides Minnifield's long interception gallop, was a record-setting pass by May. He was dead even with Russell in season yardage when Weber oiv dered a pass with 15 seconds left in the game. Williams caught it for a 17-yard gain. "I explained our reason for doing that to (Memphis State coach) Rex Dockery and he understood," Weber said.

"The records are great, but you just have to let them happen," May said. "What matters is that nobody was injured and we won a game. Like coach Weber said, there's no in team." But there was some cry in of L's 25 seniors. As they knelt for the postgame prayer, one senior raised his voice to offer some urgent advice. "Touch hands, guys," he said, his voice shaking.

"Let's touch each other one last time."

"Fra-a-ankie-f Here came Joe Kader, a senior linebacker on the University of Louisville football team, turning his 6-foot-4 body into a runaway human bobsled. Launching himself from somewhere outside the end zone in rain-sodden Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, Kader did an epic head-first slide yesterday. He seemed only to be gathering speed when he finally crashed into his target, cornerback Frank Minefield, who had just returned an intercepted pass 56 yards for a touchdown. "How far did I go?" Kader said later.

"Fifteen yards. Fifteen yards easy." He was safe. More to the point, Louisville was safe. It had used Minnifield's broken-field special with 44 minutes left in the game to tie the soggy ribbon on a 38-19 victory over Memphis State in front of 7,370 fans. I have a little story to tell you," head coach Bob Weber said in the hushed locker room.

"Once there was a team that went into its final game and played great all day!" Weber's hoarsely shouted punch line was the signal for bedlam to erupt again. It had started on the sideline, with the final seconds ticking off, when linebacker Greg Jones grabbed team manager Jim Tllton, threw him. to the ground and dragged him hither and yon until Tilton's red polo shirt had been rendered basic mud brown. "Had to get him," Jones said, grinning. "He butted me a coupje of times during pregame.

Can't have that." What Louisville couldn't have, after a campaign dotted with wipeouts against formidable teams, was a season-ending loss to its bitterest rival a rival that entered play with the longest losing streak in Division I-A football. Memphis State (0-10) saw that melancholy string extended to 17 games because of riding two gigantic breaks in the opening minutes, rolled to a 21-0 halftime lead, then roared off in a cloud of school rec6rds set by Dean May and Mark Clayton. May, a 6-5 junior quarterback, templet ed 13 of 28 passes for 224 yards and one touchdown. That left him with 2,034 yards for the season, 1 eclipsing Benny Russell's 1966 mark 1 of 2,016. And the TD throw May's 1 17th of the year wiped out John Madeya's record of 16 in 1972.

Clayton, a 5-9 senior, glided and leaped all over the slippery field un-! til he had hauled in nine passes for 179 yards, including a 27-yard TD He eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards for the season (1,112) and 2,000 for his career (2,004) both unprecedented feats at of L. "The conditions definitely favored me from the git-go," Clayton said. "I watched their defensive backs in pregame drills and they were all slipping." The Cardinals, who finished 5-6 by winning their final game for the third season in a row under Weber, benefited from an interference pen- alty en route to a touchdown on the game's first drive.

Hobart scored again on a Mills-to-Mark Yetsko pass late in the third quarter.

The Brickies then capitalized on a Castle mistake for the go-ahead touchdown. Chris Brosmer fumbled a low center snap while trying to punt from Castle's 21-yard line. He threw an incomplete pass and Hobart took over. A pair of Mills' completions, moved the ball to the three-yard line, setting up Vanderplough's TD.

Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS David Brosmer scored three touchdowns, but undefeated Castle needed a touchdown by Chris Brosmer to edge Hobart 26-23 in the Class AAA high school football championship game last night. Second-ranked Hobart (13-1), which trailed 20-7 until the final seconds of the first half, took the lead for the first time on Jeff Vander-plough's three-yard run with 9:53 to play. The third-ranked Knights (14-0) then marched 65 yards, with Chris Brosmer going three yards off tackle for the winning touchdown with 5:08 remaining. It was the third time in four years that Hobart finished as the AAA runner-up.

The Brickies lost to Carmel and Columbus East in their previous appearances. David Brosmer, the older of Castle's talented running backs, scored a two-yard run in the first period, a 25-yard pass from quarterback jMike Davis in the second period and a 50-yard play that went from Davis to Deon Chester to Brosmer.
