Olds will be going to Mos- cow with a group of Kent State students and alumni Dec. 19 but he told Kent coach Don' Iames he hoped to be in Orlamty, Dec. 29 for the Tangerine Bowl.

"We'll try tit have the planes re-routed Jo Orlando," Olds told James. "That'll be came up instead to see some friends. It's great to see Kent get something going." Glenn Olds, Kent State president, couldn't have agreed more. "These are real champi being at the game and not at Northwestern, where the Bucks played Saturday, was simple enough. "I didn't want to fly to Chicago with a bunch of drunk alumni," Seifert smiled "I By RICH ZTTKIN Beacon Journal Staff Writer KENT The Kent State locker room was jammpd with well wishers following the Flashes' 27-9 win over Toledo Saturday.

But a most surprising visitor was Rick Seifert. the Ohio State defensive back from Cuyahoga Falls. Seifert is on crutches and out for the season after a knee operation. His reason for Day I 350 people for you down there." Jack Lambert, Kent middle linebacker credited with 29 tackles Saturday, was one of the many calling the win his greatest thrill ever. "But I wasn't pleased with the way I played," said the junior from Crestwood.

"I didn't do anything. "I felt we could win this game, however. We beat Miami last week and I thought they'd be the roughest of our final two opponents. But I wasn't overconfident today. We were ready and just did the job.

Gary Pinkel helped considerably, the junior tight end from Kenmore making seven catches for 104 yards. One of the receptions came when Pinkel caught the ball, was tackled, hobbled the ball while on his back then pulled it in. "I like to catch the ball and the throws were right there," he said. "I still made mistakes, though. "I have to give the credit to our coaching staff.

They're absolutely fabulous." THAT'S exactly what Toledo coach Jack Murphy was saying. "I have to give credit to Don James and his staff," Murphy said. "They have done one helluva job. "Kent will have a worse record than whoever they play in the Tangerine Bowl, but they won't be shown up. They have emotion and enthusiasm going for them." The Flashes also have Greg Kokal, the freshman quarterback from Euclid who came in for injured Daryl Hall in the second period and completed 11 of 18 passes for 175 yards.

"Daryl got banged up Thursday and I knew I'd probably get in about the second quarter," Kokal said. "I also knew either one of us could pass on Toledo." HALL, who had a pinched GARY PINKEL 7 catches nerve, was happy, despite not playing much of the game. "Sure I wanted to be in there, but Greg did one helluva job," Hall said. "This is my No. 1 thrill." Just as happy were quarterback Larry Hayes and defensive back Nick Saban.

Both watched from the sideline, Hayes having broken his arm the first game this year against Akron and Saban having broken his ankle three weeks ago against Northern Illinois. "It's hard watching, I wanted to get in there," Hayes said. "But this is all beautiful." Saban concurred. "What can you say?" he wondered. "We had too much going for us.

"I get a lump in my throat every time I think how much I'd like to be out there. But I'm supposed to get the cast off in a couple weeks and they'd better put a chain on me. Because I'll be ready for the Tangerine Bowl."

From there Poole score and Kent led 20-3 with 3:34 left in the third period.

Freshman Gene Swick took over as Toledo's quarterback and ended a 96-yard scoring drive with a screen pass to tailback Bob Vickers, who went 19 yards for a touchdown making it 20-9 with 13 :44 left in the game. Schwartz faked a pass on the conversion, but Wayne Draper tackled him before the play came off. Kent then missed two scoring chances, Page kicking wide on a 34-yard field goal try, and Kokal throwing out of the end zone for Woodard on fourth down after Kent got to the Toledo one. But Poole finished the scoring with 1:21 left when he scored from five yards out. Then both goal posts were tipped, fans surrounded the field, and tangerine rinds were everywhere.

Toledo, the defending MAC and Tangerine Bowl champ, thus finishes the season at 2-3 in the league and 6-5 overall. i i 72 4 i95 Eddie Woodard took the wind out of us." Woodard, who ran back a kick for a touchdown the same distance against Bowling Green last season, was trampled under a host of happy teammates following the run. "I waited all year to get it," Woodard said. "It feels great. The blocking got it for me." KENT later got as far as Toledo's 13 before Kokal fumbled and Toledo recovered on its 10.

KENT and Toledo then traded fumbles, the Rockets' Mel Minnfield first recovering John Matskos' fumble on the Toledo 48. On the next play calabrese took a pass to the Kent 18, but then Schwartz fumbled and Kent tackle Don Robinson recovered on Kent's 15. Robinson later banged up his knee and missed the second half, but James said it was nothing serious.

Kokal then came in to replace Hall, who had a pinched nerve in his back, a lingering injury. Kokal didn't take the Flashes anywhere in his first series, but after a 32-yard missed field goal by Toledo, Kokal took Kent to Toledo's eight, from where Page made a 25-yard field goal, giving Kent its 6-3 lead with 3:37 left in the half. TOLEDO kicked off to start the second half, Woodard taking the ball on his five. With some jitterbug moves and a fine block from Poole, Woo-. dard scored, giving Kent a 13-6 lead only 14 seconds into the half.

"That was the turning point in the game," said losing coach Jack Murphy. "It was no fluke.

OFFENSIVE coordinator Dick Scesniak, who calls the plays, was naturally pleased with Poole.

"He did things today we expected of him all year," he said. But before Poole turned in his second-half heroics, the Flashes had many an anxious moment the first two periods. In fact, Toledo took the opening kickoff and drove to the Kent two-yard line. On third and goal, quarterback Arthur pitched out behind tailback Joe Schwartz. Linebacker Dan Rector hit Arthur as he tried to recover and Rector fell on the ball at Kent's 11.

BUT the Rockets threatened again; with passes from Arthur to split end Jeff Calabrese helping Toledo get to Kent's 24. defensive back Alonzo Curry saved Kent by intercepting a pass on the Flashes' 14.

The report said the MAC wants a four-year contract for the game, while bowl officials won't go beyond a one-year pact. And, the report continued, Kent was in danger of not making the trip because of this hassle.

However, Will Geiger, president, of the Tangerine Sports Association, soothed matters. "Everything is set for this year," he said Saturday. According to officials, a verbal agreement has been reached between MAC commissioner Fred Jacoby and bowl officials. AtlY CAR plus 3c a mile 24-mo. lease 95 per mo.
