RoctyMoimta in ttigE By MAURY WHITE SwikIbv RMhfsr SMI Wtlttr BOULDER, COLO. Colorado's football team does not have any more games scheduled with Drake this side of the year 2000. You would guess, after Drake won, 41-22, here Saturday, that situation will not change. The Bulldogs, after graciously spotting the Big Eight team a 7-0 lead when Lance Olander frisked almost untouched 86 yards with the opening kickoff, then falling behind by a 14-3 score, snapped to attention behind quarterback Rick Casko plus a greedy defense that gathered in four Colorado passes and three fumbles to beat the Buffs for the second year in a row. Casko hit nine of 16 passes for 142 yards and two second-quarter touch downs to Amero Ware and Tim McManus.

Those combined with a one-yard scoring run by Ware and one of Henrik Mike-Mayer's two field goals for a 24-14 half time lead. A year ago Drake pulled one of the shockers of the season by taking a 13-9 victory from the heavily favored hosts. This game was dubbed as "The Big Little Game" by area wags, certainly not the one the Buffs most wanted to win but easily the one Coach Chuck Fairbanks could least afford to lose in his limping rebuilding program that was 3-8 a year ago and is now.0-5. You are at liberty to let your imagination run rampant as to what many of the 37,689 paying customers who bothered to attend are saying now. Drake Coach Chuck Shelton didn't have to fork over S6 for a bargain-priced ticket, but here's what he had to say: "Beating Colorado was not as exciting this year as last but it was much more satisfying.

The victory was no fluke. When I say Casko can play anywhere, people don't believe me. There are better but there's not a place he can't play some." Certainly the folks who saw the senior from West Palm Beach, operate will not disagree for his running also contributed 31 yards and his reading of blitzes frustrated a Colorado defense already as frustrated as young men should be allowed to get. Talmadge Tanks rushed for yards in 17 carries and that helped as, for the third time in as many, meetings this year, a Missouri Valley Conference team defeated a Big Eight This was Drake's third road victory of a 4-2 season and the last time the Bulldogs were that successful away, from home was in 197k It's true that the foe was tied for first in Steve Harvey's "Bottom ten," but a victory is a victory. -s-UiX-jJ And at the start, it looked as though it might be hard to come by.

Kansas State kept tearing the shirt right off Dwayne Crutchfield's back, but the important T-shirts the ones that say "Another One Bites the Dust'' on the front were worn proudly out of the locker room again late Saturday afternoon by Iowa State's football players. Yes, sir, these unbeaten Cyclones have their own way of celebrating.

Crutchfield was marching around, wearing his red "Crutch Hat" and John Quinn was turned on about being able to "turn the corner." Crutchfield piled up a season-high 16S yards on the ground and Quinn added a career-high 116 on a windblown day that saw Iowa State send its record to a glossy 5-0 with a 31-7 cruise past Kansas State. In all, the Cyclones hit a K-State defense, one that came here with pretty good credentials, with 409 yards rushing before a homecoming crowd of 50,163 the largest of 1980 here and the biggest ever to watch these teams play. t. "We're improving with each game," said Quinn, the junior quar- terback from West Des Moines. "We -just keep getting better and better and better." No kidding.

Indeed, if the rest of the Big Eight Conference wasn't taking Iowa State seriously before, it had better now. The Cyclones were ranked No. 20 in one national poll last week, and it will be an injustice if they don't make the Top 20 in every poll the next time the balloting is done. They have a solid chance of Improving their record to 6-0 next Saturday at Kansas. Then comes Oklahoma here Oct.

25, and who knows what will happen that day? The way these guys keep answering challenge after challenge, don't count 'em out against anybody. Aiming High Asked if he feels he can finish the season with 1,000 yards on the ground, Crutchfield said, "I hope so, but the main thing is we want to have an 11-0 record." A high goal, to be sure. But the important thing' now is that this Is the first "Iowa State team to start a season with five victories since the 1938 outfit won its first seven. The best rushing day Crutchfield had as a Cyclone until Saturday was 136 yards a week earlier in a 69-0 Cakewalk past Colorado State. He had almost that much at halftime against K-State.

The 232-pound junior-college transfer had 122 In 19 carries at intermission, then added S3 tnore In 12 additional carries in thc jinal two quarters. This was the first time since the Johnny Majors coaching era that some Cyclone player have worn tear-away jerseys.The way Crutchfield keeps lungiiig for extra yards, IOWA STATE Please turn Page 3D Photo by BOB MODERSOHN camc rouft PHILADELPHIA HOUSTON abrkbi L.Smlth If 4 12 0 PuN cf Dinar If 10(0 Cabaa 3t Rosa lb .412) Moraan 2b Sclwnktl 3b S02 1 Wood McSrxM rf 4 a 2 WaMna pn -Luiktslil on 111) J.Laonartf rf O.Vukovicti (tOO A.Howa lav TrMo 2b 422 JoCrul If CAAatfdox cf 40tOPuMsc Bowa ss "SCI Bochy Boona 4 0 0 0 Landaitov is Carlton 2 0 0 0 RuMa Notts 0 0 0 0 Smith Sauclar 0 0 0 0 Sambito abrhM 3 0 11 4 110 3 0 0 0 2 00 0 1 00 0 10 0 0 3 9 11 i 3 1 1 0 10 00 3 111 3 0 00 0 0 0 0 0000 Racd 9 0 0 0 G.Gross oft 1110 Brusslar i 1 0 0 0 McGraw 0 0 0 0 Tatars 40 IJ I Tatars 30 I 1 ItiliilaliiNa wm)- Houston 00 I WMI 0 1 6 tandastov.

A 44, H2. By BUCK TURNBULL Sunday Reenter Staff Writer IOWA CITY, IA. Thank goodness football games are played in two halves. If Iowa's mistake-prone Hawkeyes had not had a chance to redeem themselves in the second half against Illinois here Saturday, there's no telling what beleaguered and bewildered Hayden Fry would have done to himself. Misery was deeply etched In the veteran coach's face, and he even talked of committing hari-kari or some other dastardly deed after watching his team stumble and fumble to its fourth consecutive defeat, 20-14.

The Hawks played such a terrible first half, certainly one of the worst in the history of Kinnick Stadium, that it seemed almost unbelievable to the sellout crowd of 59,780 when they surged back and actually had a chance to win the game. But the closeness of the finish, with record-breaking receiver Keith Chappelle turning in a magnificent performance, only served to add another element of mystery to Iowa's strange downturn this season. How can a team play so well and so awful in the same afternoon? to Listen" i "If anybody has some ideas on what we can do to improve, I'd be willing to listen," said Fry, who was at his wits' end trying to explain the miserable first half. 1 "We made a zillion mistakes things I wouldn't even care to talk about. Our offense was the worst I've ever seen so bad I couldn't believe it.

We even simplified the offense and still fouled it up. "If made a comeback in the second half, I think I'd have just thrown my ulcer medicine away and said to heck with it" i Illinois, winning its third straight Big Ten game in a 3-2-1 season, built a 13-0 halftime lead and threatened to make the game a runaway when Iowa's Jeff Brown fumbled on the third play of the third quarter. i The ball popped right into the Hands of Illini cornerback Rick George, who pranced 13 yards into the end zone for a touchdown that might have and probably should have broken Iowa's spirit Chappelle Stars But some amazing pass-catching by Chappelle didn't allow that to happen. Chappelle snared two scoring passes from Phil Suess on his way to tying i HOUSTON, TEXAS (AP) After riine confusing, controversial innings frith no decision in sight, Philadelphia Slugger Greg Luzinski suddenly settled the issue with a game-winning double in the 10th inning that gave the Phillies a 5-3 victory over Houston Saturday and kept them live in the National League championship playoffs. The Phillies, who had been six outs away from elimination, went to Luzinski as a pinch hitter and the husky slugger provided the game-winning hit for the second time in the best-of-five playoff series.

If he hadn't lost the handle on one of those at the Illinois goal line, fumbling it away for a touchback, Iowa might have even been celebrating a 21-20 victory despite all the miscues. The Suess-to-Chappelle combination clicked from 11 yards out midway through the third quarter, cutting Illinois' lead to 20-7 and producing Iowa's first touchdown in eight quarters since Doug Dunham scored on a Suess pass against Iowa State.

The Hawks suddenly took the play away from the Illini and their outstanding passer, Dave Wilson, who completed 17 of 29 attempts for 211 yards. With minutes left In the game, Suess drilled a 35-yard strike down the middle to Chappelle, whose spectacular grab left him inches shy of the goal line. But the ball was jarred from his grasp. Illinois recovered the fumble in the end zone and took possession on its 20. Hoped for TD "The ball bounced off my chest when I was hit," said Chappelle.

"My first reaction was that I was in the end zone and it would be a touchdown. I didn't know where I was for sure, but thought I might have scored. "The defensive back pushed me down and I fumbled. I tried to get up and recover it, but by then it was too late." Illinois could not advance and had to punt into the stiff north wind, which was a big factor throughout the game "The worst wind I've ever encountered as a coach," said Illini Coach Mike White. Iowa was back in business near midfield and the Suess-to-Chappelle battery went to work again.

Keith made an incredible diving grab for one 25-yard gain and then hauled in IOWA Please turn to Page 2D corner, Luzinski preferred to let his bat do the talking. "I don't want to talk," said Luzinski, apparently angered by not being in the starting lineup. "I hit a double, Pete Rose scored on a heck of a play, we won and that's all I've got to say." Philadelphia Manager Dallas Green had replaced Luzinski as the starting left fielder with Lonnie Smith, who set-a rookie base-stealing record this season. But, after a series of controversial game-delaying plays and the ensuing rhubarbs, it was Luzinski who evened the playoff series at 2-2 and forced tonight's deciding game in the Astrodome.

Mm Mm MM could have planted me." Rose gave credit to third base coach Lee Elia on the play. "He saw the relays were coming up short in the outfield and gave me the green light," Rose said.
