Jeff Brown By RON MALY Sunday Reetster Stall Writer BLOOMINGTON, IND. Night is ready to fall on this sleepy town in middle America, but the sound of those crazy horns is still being heard in the parking lot outside a football stadium that is littered with debris and all but emptied of the 50,173 persons who occupied it in the afternoon steam heat. Yes, the horns those crazy ones that play bits and pieces of college fight songs keep blowing.

And it's the same happy tune, the one Iowa fans everywhere like to hear "On Iowa, on forever more." The celebrating by Hawkeye followers went on and on Saturday after this one. Because they yelled their lungs out, the 5,000 or so Iowans who were here may be talking in whispers when they show up for work Monday, and if the stay-at-homes weren't dancing in the streets of Iowa City they should have been. Iowa, too often regarded as a football patsy in the last 18 or so years, took the wraps off an exciting 156-pound package of dynamite, utilized some trickery and flexed some hefty offensive and defensive muscles while getting revenge on Indiana, 16-7, in an upset that seemed to say definitely that rumors of a Hawkeye gridiron rebirth are turning out to be true. It also made up for a last-minute, 30-26 licking the Hoosiers slapped on the Hawks last season in Iowa City. It wasn't for the Big Ten Conference championship and It wasn't a bowl victory by any means, but guess again if you negative thinkers out there believe this was anything less than something very big.

"It was a great victory," said Hayden Fry, the Hawkeye coach who was so happy that he seemed ready to jump out from under his Tiger Hawk commander's cap after his team knocked off a foe that went 8 4 last season, won the Holiday Bowl and came into this one favored by a touchdown. "It's going to feel awfully good for a few weeks knowing we have a 1-0 record in the Big Ten." No less excited was Jeff Brown, the 156-pound tailback who staged an act usually reserved for men much bigger and more experienced. Brown, a wlngback last season as a freshman, ripped Indiana's defense for 176 yards rushing and caught five passes for 35 yards in his first start at tailback. That's 211 yards of total offense. Those are big league figures Billy IOWA Please turn to Page 4D jr 5 "SAsT rs-r "The kids were ready to play, and that was awful important to me," Shelton said.

"The defense also gave us some excitement" The defenders recorded six quarterback sacks, intercepted three passes and recovered a fumble for a touchdown. In the past, the Bulldogs have laid an egg or two in games they were heavily favored to win. Last year's nightmares against Wichita State and Northern Michigan quickly come to mind. But Saturday, they took charge from the outset. Augustana started from its 28 on DRAKE Please turn to Page SD growing up never gets rid of all the fire in the eye.

On Thanksgiving 1974, George and John the youngest and oldest got into it outside a bar in their home town of El Segundo (Calif.) and ended up handcuffed in jail. And George was in the majors then. Happy Thanksgiving, pap. But it is George Brett who grew up not too much, mind you. For instance, he still leaves the Royals clubhouse hair slicked back in a wet mane, wearing T-shirt, jeans and gray cowboy boots with hand-tooled crimson hearts looking like James Dean with muscles as he bops into his orange Mercedes and heads for his private mansion.

Coaches are fond of saying they want to see the films' before they can be certain who did: what in a football game. 1 ,1 Well, there is no need to wait for the movies on Dwayne Rocky Gillis, Jack Seabrooke and the rest of Iowa State's swift and' powerful running backs.

One after another they put on a superb ball-carrying display here Saturday as the Cyclones delighted a-season-opening crowd of 47,331 by stomping Northeast Louisiana Into submission, 42-7. 1 First, the elusive Gillis led Iowa" State downfield to a touchdown, showing no 111 effects from the knee injury that sidelined him most of last' season. When Rocky got sick somewhat of an embarrassment to him, because' he threw up in the huddle and had to leave the field Crutchfield moved from fullback to tailback and continued what became an awesome1 stampede. The 232-pound junior college all-American lived up to his advance1 billing by thundering for 121 yards in 19 carries and scoring two touch' downs. Seabrooke, Mike Payne and freshman Michael Wade joined in the fun, too, and it all added up to 348! yards in 75 attempts.

"They did exactly what I hoped, they wouldn't be able to do run the ball right at us," said Northeast Louisiana Coach John David Crow; who was quite a runner in his own time when he won the 1957 Heisman Trophy at Texas A. and M. "They were just so much bigger and more physical than us, and they have some strong and outstanding running backs." The Cyclones also had a defense that completely dominated Crow'f team, tying a school record in the process. Northeast Louisiana was limited to just three net yards In 18 rushing tries. That equaled a mark set by low State's 1965 defense in a 38-13 victory over Pacific.

And the winning margin was the biggest in four years, since a 47-7 rout of Kent State in 1976. As you might expect. Cyclone Coach Donnie Duncan was all smiles after this one, something he didn't get to do very often a year ago in his 3-8 baptism. "One thing I learned last year Duncan yelled to begin his press conference, "is that when you win, be happy. And I'm happy.

"I was happy with just about everything I saw out there. We controlled IOWA STATE Please turn to Page 3D And even though Brett has Just signed a multiyear contract for $1 million or more a season, even though he is the hottest media figure in sports, anyone who knows him senses that what he really enjoys is a six pack and a game of hearts with a few friends, or a game of stickball in the clubhouse during a rain delay. At 27, nothing pleases him more than pitching batting practice, unless it is taking batting practice.

"I want to do what's best for Drake, but not rub anybody's nose in the dirt.

I've been on the other end." Drake delighted a Band Day crowd of 8,560, including more than 2,000 high school musicians, with a potent aerial display. Quarterbacks Rick Casko and Gary Yagelskl combined to complete 11 of 15 passes for 230 yards and four touchdowns in the first half. The Bulldogs finished with 537 yards total offense, 270 through the air, but attempted only two passes in the second half as Shelton pulled in the reins. Defensively, Drake recorded its first shutout since whitewashing Northern Iowa, 28-0, in 1971. That was 96 games ago.

The 5-foot 10-inch, 156-pound Brown rushed for 176 yards and added another 35 yards on five pass receptions. If Jeff Brown was question mark at tailback in Iowa's search for a successor to rusher Dennis Mosley, Coach Hayden Fry has reason to applaud Brown's answer on a 55-yard scamper to the iuilte at bsKoa Drake too much for Augustana By BOB DYER Sunday RetMar Stall Wmer Chuck Shelton showed a lot of class Saturday. Shelton, Drake's football coach, probably could have named the score after his charges took a 35-0 halftime lead over outmanned Augustana of South Dakota at Drake Stadium. Instead, the fourth-year boss called off his Bulldogs, playing everybody but Spike, the team mascot, in what turned out to be a 42-0 laugher.

"Running up a score doesn't help anybody, including me," Shelton said adventures. He feels and acts baseball-old. After all, he was on a major league roster at age 18, pitched twice in the World Series when he was 19, set a major league record for pitchers by homering in four consecutive games when be was 24, and won the All-Star Game for the National League at 25. Now, he is ancient and washed up, and knows it He is 31. HE LOOKS across the clubhouse at his baby brother, George, who has always been almost as handsome, charming, talented and blessed in the barroom virtues as he.

Or But don't blame Ken Brett He had to uphold a Family Tradition the kind Hank Williams Jr. sings about in the lyric, "So, if I get drunk and howl all night long, it's just a Family Tradition."

Heck, even One Brett faces spotlights, the other faces facts brother "Boomer," just to remind the runt that in a home run hitting contest it would always be Ken Brett, not George, who would win.
