Arizona Republic from Phoenix, Arizona • Page 67

G3 Friday, September 27, 1985 The Arizona Republic ftCPUOLIC Clack BobCcMAIi won't start, but should play against USC Pac-10 football ASU, UA, NAU notes Arixona Republic Stall Arizona State should be near full strength, with the exception of tailback Darryl Clack, for its Pac-10 football opener against Southern California on Saturday night at Sun Devil Stadium. Clack (lower-leg injury) will not start but is expected UofA officials have arranged bus rides to home football games for Phoenix-area fans. The fare will be $12. Buses depart from The Colonnade, East Camelback Road and North 18th Street, at 2 p.m. on Saturdays and return from Tucson immediately after the game.

Reservations must be made at least eight days in advance through the UA Phoenix office, 222 West Osborn.No. 117. 0 NORTHERN ARIZONA Injuries continue to decimate Northern Arizona's offensive line. The Lumberjacks (2-1), who meet unbeaten Eastern Washington (3-0) in a non-conference game Saturday night at 7 in Spokane, have battled the problem all season. to play, ASu coach John Cooper said.

Cooper said sophomore Darryl Harris probably will start at tailback. "I can tell you this, Clack won't start because he hasn't practiced all week," Cooper said. "Doc (Steven Pelt, ASU team physician) and Troy (Young, ASU trainer) are telling us he can play, so sure, we'll try to play him." Offensive tackle Danny Villa (foot) and nose guard Dan Saleaumua be out for severat weeks. Inside linebacker Rex Moore will miss the ASU game with a strained hamstring. USC outside linebacker Greg Coauetle (sprained ankle) is expected to play against ASU but won't start Defensive tackle Brent Moore (sprained ankle and strained knee) is listed as questionable.

ARIZONA Gallen Allen, the 1984 national junior-college defensive player of the year, will start at inside linebacker for Arizona (3-0) when it plays host to Colorado (2-1) on Saturday, coach Larry Smith said. Allen becomes the third player in three weeks to start alongside Byron Evans. Allen was slow picking up the Wildcats' defenses in preseason camp. He has played seven downs and has not made a tackle. Colorado runs a bruising wishbone attack.

Eight of its rushers average at least 4 yards a carry. Allen (6-foot-4, 240 pounds) is best suited to defend against the wishbone because of his size, Smith said. Smith said tight end Gary Parrish will miss the game because he further aggravated his hamstring at Cal. Parrish has been battling the injury since Camp Cochise. Chris McLemore, a former Buffalo, probably will make his UA debut at running back, Smith said.

McLemore had arthroscopic knee surgery during Camp Cochise. Three years ago, McLemore was the Big Eight freshman of the year at Colorado before transfer ring Darryl Harris Should get nod at tailback Guard Dan Moran, who returned last week from a severe leg bruise, suffered a knee strain Wednesday and is out again. He will have an arthroscopic examination Monday to determine the extent of damage. Complicating matters, center Scott Avery has quit the team. Avery started the first game at center and the second at guard.

He was demoted to second-string center this week behind freshman Frank Pollack, who was moved to center from guard. After the demotion, Avery quit and Moran was hurt As a result, Derek Zazueta, a freshman from St Mary's High, was moved from defensive end to the quick guard spot and will start. Pollack will start at the other guard spot and Roy Stewart, a transfer from Mesa Community, will make his first start of the season at center. buying advertisements.

(groin) have returned to practice and are expected to Outside linebacker Scott Stephen, who was held out of last week's game against Pacific after surgery for an ingr6wn toenail, is expected to start. The Trojans are nursing some injuries, particularly on the defensive unit. USC inside linebacker Sam Anno tore ligaments in his thumb prior to the Baylor game last week and will Coaches' cliche depicts: pitfalls of lost weekend Coaches have uttered the phrase, "MistakesH kill ya," so often that writers invariably give their pens a -rest while waiting for a pearl of information, however, sometimes this cliche says it best Last week in the Pac-10, it did. Four of the five conference teams that lost gained more total yards than their opponents.

Stanford gained 560 yards to Oregon's 514. But Oregon won handily, 45-28, because the Cardinal committed six turnovers and the Ducks had two. California outgained Arizona, 373-326, in a 23-17 loss. The Bears had four turnovers to two for the Wildcats. Southern California dominated Baylor in total yardage, 388-287, and lost, 20-13.

Both teams had two turnovers, but USC's big blunder was not scoring after having first-and-goal from the Baylor 6. Finally, Washington State gained 675 yards and lost to Utah (486 yards), 44-37. The Cougars lost four fumbles, all in the second half. Utah had two turnovers. The fumbles led to touchdown drives of 2, 22 and 42 yards for the Utes.

ONLY IN BERSERKLEY While Cal coach Joe Kapp was giving his postgame discourse, an intruder sneaked in. "Look forward, Joe," the visitor screamed. "All this is Marxism and dialectics. Look forward, don't look back." THEY CAN SO READ As if being winless wasn't enough, the Washington Huskies found extra motiva- tion from being mentioned in steve Harvey's syndicated Bottom Ten column. "The guys were tired of being 0-2," Washington quarterback Hugh Millen said after beating Houston.

"I read Steve Harvey's column and it got to me." BRUINS 00INGS UCLA is banged up heading into its big game Saturday at Washington. Tailback Gaston Green, injured two weeks ago, is not expected to play. Three offensive linemen are hurl, but will play. Linebacker Tony Phillips this week was ruled out for the season. Wide receivers Mike Sherrard, Karl Dorrell and Paco Craig have nagging injuries.

Sherrard last week became the all-time leading UCLA pass-catcher, surpassing Cormac Carney. CREDIBILITY GAP Texas coach Fred Akers went a little overboard this week hyping Stanford, which the Longhorns play Saturday at Stanford Stadium. "So much has been said about Stanford's offense that the defense has been overlooked," Akers said. "They have a swarming defense which makes few mistakes." After holding down weak San Jose State, the Cardinal defense last week swarmed Oregon tailback Tony Cherry. Unfortunately, they forgot to tackle him.

Cherry gained 227 yards on 27 carries, scoring on runs of 21, 22 and 80 yards. Oregon quarterback Chris Miller, meanwhile, completed 20 of 33 pass attempts Hurt Cottogo football Continued from Gl it does bother some of his board members. Holmes traces the trend back to the court ruling in the Georgia-Oklahoma case, which ended NCAA control of college football television. "That depressed the economics of college' football television and will have a spinoff effect on bowls," he said. "So now we have to develop other revenues." Jim Brock, executive director of the Cotton Bowl, said the Fiesta appears to have made a good business deal.

"My hat's off to them," he said. He said the Cotton Bowl has no plans for seeking a major sponsor but is involving corporations more in ticket sales. The pregnant question is: When will the media realize it is being used to advertise products without pay? Next month, you will read in these pages about the Seiko-Tucson Match Play Golf Championship.

Not a bad bargain. TV and newspaper moguls are starting to look suspiciously at the situation. NBC puts $1.3 million annually into the Fiesta Bowl. Don Meyers, a Fiesta Bowl official involved in Sunkist negotiations, called Art Watson, president of NBC Sports, on Thursday morning to inform him of the new affiliation. Did Watson have reservations? Meyers replied, "They have their own policy and practices committee which deals with some of these philosophical questions.

But they wish us the best." Policy committees will be huddling a lot. The day may not be far away when both print and broadcast media elect to refer to sporting events only by their generic names. And, in sympathy, I will rip the alligators and polo ponies from my knit shirts. Go buy your own billboard, guys. mixed.

Sugar Bowl executive director Mickey Holmes and Cotton Bowl executive director Jim Brock indicated that the Fiesta is merely the first bowl to take a step toward the inevitable. "It's something that's going to have to be' done," Holmes said. However, Dan McNamara, executive director of the Orange Bowl, isn't ready to concede yet. "Personally, I'd like to work as long as Fiesta Continued from Gl for 266 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. SHORT PASSES Washington State again is suffering its usual rash of injuries.

Safety Ron Collins, linebacker Jim Krakoski, wide receiver Michael James and offensive tackle Mike Schuster will miss the Ohio State game. Fullback Kerry Porter also has been benched. If Grambling State beats Oregon State, legendary Grambling coach Eddie Robinson will tie Bear Bryant for the most victories in a career, 323. Washington noseguard Andy Fuimaono, a converted fullback, can squat lift 715 pounds. That's 200 pounds more than anyone else on the team.

Russ Hanlin, president of Sunkist Growers, told 77ie Republic that Sunkist's commitment to the bowl will encompass about 5 percent of the cooperative's total advertising budget during the first year. "If all goes well, that figure will more than quadruple," he said. Reviews from other bowl officials were possible without corporate sponsorships, he said.

We do what we can with what we've got." Esquibel, who said it has been about 14 years since he's beaten Workman, has much to work with. Holbrook has outscored its opponents, 100-15.

Round Valley has outscored its foes, 85-20. The Elks gave up all 20 points to a tough Albuquerque (N.M) Academy team. "We've given up more points in one game than we did in 10 games last season," Workman said. Last year, Round Valley didn't skip a beat in moving up from Class to A. "Coolidge beat them in the championship last year, but they can line up against anyone," Esquibel said about Round Valley.

Esquibel is wary of Round Valley's big, quick line, led by 200-pound tackles Tim Landers and Jeff Whiting. "I have to credit our entire line," Workman said. "They've been leading us. But it's been a team effort. We don't rely on just a couple kids.

We're all in it together." Holbrook starts four sophomores on offense. They are wide receiver Mike Budenholzer, slot back Lee Smith, tailback Napo Baldonado and tackle Trent Kartchner. Senior quarterback Mark Munoz, who has thrown for five touchdowns and 300 yards, is the key to the Holbrook attack. Workman said the winner of this game isn't guaranteed the East title. "We're in for a hard season all the way through," Workman said.

"Our conference is very tough. Whoever wins this game doesn't mean they've got the conference won. St Johns, Alchesay, Winslow and Snowflake can all easily win it. "The East teams have played 24 non-conference games and have won 21 of them. There's never an easy game." In other games of interest: Third-ranked St Johns (2-0) plays at Alchesay (2-0), and Winslow (1-1) travels to Snowflake (2-1) in other key A-l East League games.

Top-ranked Eloy Santa Cruz (3-0, 2-0) plays at A-l South rival Coolidge (1-2, 1-1). Coolidge, two-time A champion, suffered its only loss last year to Santa Cruz, which was on probation. Santa Cruz, usually, an explosive running team, is relying mostly on passing this year. Senior quarterback David Arvizu leads the offense. Second-ranked Flagstaff (2-0) plays at Kingman (2-0) in a AAA-2 interregional game.

David Winsley, the stale's leading rusher last year, has run for 400 yards and six touchdowns in two games. Lake Havasu (1-1) plays fifth-ranked Coconino (2-0) in a AAA-2 game at Northern Arizona's Walkup Skydome. Coconino beat Lake Havasu, 17-7, in the first round of the AA playoffs last year. Coconino is tough to beat in the Skydome, where it has a 17-2-1 non-conference record. Tucson Sahuaro (2-0) plays at Tucson Santa Rita (2-0) in a AAA-1 Southern Region game.

Sahuaro is led by quarterback Brad Chilcote and receivers Mark Mariani and Steve Martin, who will make his season debut after sitting outjthe first two games with an ankle injury. Chilcote is second in AAA-1 in passing, and Mariani leads AAA-1 in receiving. By DICK OBERT Arizona Republic Statl Round Valley football coach Tot Workman and Holbrook coach Charlie Esquibel no longer fool each other. The old-timers have learned to ignore the other's smokescreens. "I can't even visit with him," Esquibel said.

"I don't know when he's giving the straight scoop." Workman says he isn't sure about Esquibel, either. Both coaches were giving their best ploys before A-l East League opener tonight at 7 in Holbrook. Holbrook (3-0) is ranked fourth and Eagar Round Valley (3-0) is firth. "We want to cancel," Esquibel said about the showdown. "They're trie cream of the crop." When Workman heard Esquibel downplaying his team, he let out a laugh and said: "He's still doing that? He knows every play in the book.

Jet him fool you." Yorkman went on to downplay his team's chances against Holbrook. "We beat them last year because it was our homecoming," Workman said. "Is it their homecoming?" Workman and Esquibel have nearly 50 years of coaching experience between them. They know the ropes, and have been snakebitten before by bulletin-board material. Workman says his team is rebuilding after last year's Class A state runner-up finish.

But don't listen to him, Esquibel says. "I think they're bigger than last year," Esquibel said. "They've got three huge people that are some of the best in the state. They outweigh us by a good 40 pounds (a player). "I've known Tot for a long time.

I respect him, but he's always had the good, big kids to work ASPN official says unfair broadcast fees keeping AAA-1 football playoffs off TV Preps DickObert McClintock coach Karl Kiefer argued with the refs. It was difficult to sympathize with the coach. Kent Kiefer needs 359 yards to become the all-time AAA-1 passing leader. Scooter Molander set the career record of 4,712 yards at Corona del Sol from 1982-84. ICE FOLLIES Sanders Valley's football team found the weather last week in Lakeside more trouble than Blue Ridge's junior varsity.

Valley led Blue Ridge JV, 14-0, after the first quarter, but had to contend with a hail storm for the next half-hour. "It started hailing ice the size of golf balls," Valley coach Bill Morgan said. "Everyone was running around trying to get out of the way. Hail was hitting people in the head. A girl broke her leg.

A cheerleader sprained her ankle. "The field was covered with ice After a 30-minute delay, officials short ened the game to two, six-minute quarters. No second quarter was played. Sanders Valley won, 26-6.

"It's tough when you think about those things," said quarterback Deke Schutes, -the coach's son. "But you just have to be mentally tough." squabble over broadcasting rights again may keep the AAA-1 football playoffs from being televised. George Allen, sports coordinator for ASPN, said the Arizona Interscholastic Association is asking $2,500 to televise a playoff ame, and $500 for every rerun.

AAA-1 playoffs have not been televised in the past because of the broadcast fee. Alien claims the AIA's rights fee is unffir. The local cable station is in its third, yeagof televising regular-season games for which there is no charge. "We've always wanted to do the playoffs," Allen said, "but we didn't feel like paying that kind of money." Tony Komadina, executive director of the AIA, said the TV rights come under the group's jurisdiction. Therefore, the AIA has the right to charge what it wants.

"I said, 'Tony, how do you justify charging them (TV) a rights fee and letting another medium (radio) do it (for Allen said. Dick Stuart, vice president of Kramer-Krasselt Advertising, said he is trying to find sponsors so ASPN can televise the playoffs.

AIR RAID Excitement literally filled the air above McClintock Chargers Sta-diutn Ids! W6clc After McClintock tailback Art Greath-ouse ran 68 yards for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage, a low-flying airplane dropped confetti on a section of the stadium where Marcos de Niza fans- were seated. "I've never seen a plane come that low to the ground," a spectator said. "Did someone catch the number of that bird?" The plane returned and distracted Marcos' Warren Gesin, who was attempting a first-quarter field goal. Gesin missed, and the plane flew away. It did not return.

McClintock flew by the Padres, 70-7. McClintock may have broken its school-record 75 points in a single game, but the referees wouldn't grant a Chargers timeout late in the first half. McClintock was ahead, 35-0, and had the ball on Marcos' 21 -yard line with five seconds to play in the first half. Chargers quarterback Kent Kiefer tried calling timeout, but time expired..
