P-1 GREEN BAY PRESS-GAZETTE SPORTS Hunting Texas upset Scoreboard Businessfinance Travel D-2 -D-4 -D-9 D-11 -D-12 Sunday, Oct. 26, 1980 desfruct: Game.iadgere finally By DENNIS GRALL Of the PrMs-Goz'etle MADISON The Wisconsin Badgers came out strong and played the powerful Ohio State Buckeyes on even terms before they pushed the self-destruct button and literally handed away a 21-0 Big Ten Conference contest. Sparked by a rugged defensive effort that was bent on atoning for the sive pursuit. "The Badger offense continued to go backwards with freshman Jesse Cole at the controls after Jo6ten was sidelined with a concussion sustained on his interception. An offensive pass interference set the Badgers back to the 18 two possessions later and they had to punt out to midfield.

Continued on D-2 59-0 shellacking absorbed in Columbus, Ohio last year, the Badgers kept the clamps on Heisman Trophy candidate Art Schlichter and company. But toss in a pair of costly fumbles and a pass interception and suddenly the Buckeyes were ahead 21-0. "You can't, make that many mistakes." Badger Coach Dave McClain lamented after the game. "I've never been so frustrated with the mistakes." The gams started going downhill when freshman Jerry Vance coughed up an Ohio State punt at his own 20. The Badgers managed to escape unscathed when Vlade Janakievski's 32-yard field goal was wide to the right.

Quarterback John Jos ten's wobbly pass was intercepted by Vince Skillings at the Badger 40, and Schlichter guided the Buckeyes to paydirt in five plays, covering the final six himself on body to blame but themselves. First Marvin Neal hobbled the kick-off and was tackled at the one, then John Williams earned himself a place on the bench by fumbling on the first play and giving the Buckeyes excellent field position at the 2. After two dives into the line, the Buckeyes used the option again and Schlichter swept to the right for the score, cutting nicely inside the defen a sweep to the left. A key play in the drive was a 27-yard screen pass to tailback Calvin Murray on thlrd-and-seven that set up the score on the next play. "They hit the long screen and then they scored," McClain said, adding, "then how many seconds go-by and they score again." Only 45 seconds elapsed before the Badgers trailed 14-0, and they had no ycksroll No, Green Bay Bulls over hasn't changed Tony Walter Of the Press-Gazette The Bucks continued to pull away through the fourth quarter, as recently-acquired guard Mike Evans came off the bench and scored eight consecutive Milwaukee points, putting the Budts-ahead 88-67.

Milwaukee led 49-45 after the first half, but the Bucks broke loose in the opening moments of the third quarter, jumping to a 57-45 lead on unanswered baskets by Bob Lanier, Marques Johnson, Mickey Johnson and Quinn Buckner. Milwaukee built its lead to 16 points, at 81-65, by the end of the period. mmMt.j.i mum fv I Bar wj Dear Uncle Bob: It's been a couple years since you've been able to visit your old hometown. But I'll never forget our last conversation. Remember? We spent a couple hours paging through your Green Bay Packer scrapbook and you were comparing today's community and the Packer -fans with the way things were when you were a boy.

I'll never forget your comments. You told me about the times you used to meet the Packers at the Chicago and North Western' station, about how easy it "was then to mingle with the coaches and players and get You told me about fathers taking their children to meet the train, no matter what the hour or weather. You told me about the sendoffs that were held for the team before they would play in Chicago or Detroit, about how those were real community events and about how proud everybody was to be a Packer fan then. You also told me that those days could never come again, that Green Bay had changed and their fans would never display that kind of small-town hero-worship again. Remember? Well, I've got news for you, Uncle Bob.

You were wrong. Green Bay hasn't changed. You should have seen what happened Saturday. The fans held a pep rally for the Packers, a real, old-fashioned pep rally. It wasn't held at the train station, of course.

In fact, the Packers weren't even leaving town. They play at home today against the Vikings. The rally was held at the Lambeau Field parking lot and a couple thousand people showed up. It was, just the way you always de- Marco I being treated at Bellin Hospital scribed it, Chcle Bob. There were fathers carrying small children on their shoulders, people handing out balloons and pictures of the team.

There was a politician shaking hands. There were cheerleaders and a pep band too. The weather was awful. It was cold and our first snow flurries of the season were blowing in. People were bundled up in winter coats just the way you described it when the team used to come back from the West Coast late in the season years ago.

The Packers let the fans watch the last half hour of practice and then the players and coaches walked through the crowd to a platform, signing autographs and visiting with the fans on the way. I even saw. one player hug a baby. Some of the local television announcers led the cheers for the team too, just the way you said they used to do it. Each coach introduced the players in his unit and then Bart Starr spoke, thanking the fans for coming.

The fans chanted "Go Pack," and "We want Bart" and the players said things like "Beat the Vikes" and "We'll get them." It was a strange feeling, Uncle Bob. I mean, the team has won only two games and the season is almost half Over. And there were all those problems earlier in the year which I wrote you about. But I guess it's like you were telling me. There is only one Green Bay, right? treated for alcoholism.

Daring training camp in Marcol said that he was an alcoholic but had given up drinking and was rededicating his life to Christianity. Steve Newman, director of theCrreen Bay chapter 6f Athletes in Action, said Marcol was being treated in the Alcoholic Treatment Unit at Bellin. Chester Marcol, the veteran placekicker who was cut by the Green Bay Packers Oct. 8, is a patient at Bel lin Memorial Hospital, a hospital spokeswoman confirmed Saturday. The hospital has declined to provide further information on the reason for Marcol's hospitalization.

But, according to published reports, Marcol is being Press-Gazett photo by John Roemtr Ron Robinson, 806 Terraview in Allouez, takes part ir the Green Bay Packer pep rally Saturday with the help of two-year-old daughter )H scores Starting lineups Roller looking for a dance HIGH SCHOOL Green Bay East 7, Sheboygan South 6 Green Bay Premontre 23, Fox Valley Lutheran 21 BIG 10 Ohio State 21 Wisconsin 0 Michigan 45, Illinois 14 Indiana 35, Northwestern 20 -Purdue 36, Michigan State 25 Minnesota 24, Iowa 6 TOP 20 Alabama 42, Southern Mississippi 7 Southern Methodist 20, Texas 6 -UCLA 32, California 9 Georgia 27, Kentucky 0 Florida State 24, Memphis State 3 -North Carolina 31 Eastern Carolina 3 Nebraska 45, Colorado 7 Pittsburgh 30, Tennessee 6 Penn State 20, West Virginia 15 Missouri 13, Kansas State 3 Oklahoma 42, Iowa State 7 Navy 24, Washington 10 Houston 24, Arkansas 17 MINNESOTA GREEN BAY Offense Ahmad Rashad WR James Lofton Steve Riley LT Tim Stokes Brent Boyd LG Derrel Gofourth Dennis Swilley Larry McCarren Wes Hamilton RG Leotis Harris RonYary RT Greg Koch Bob Tucker TE PaulCoffman Sammy White WR' Aundra Thompson Tommy Kramer QB Lvnn Dickey Ted Brown FB Gerry Ellis Rickey Young HB Eddie Lee Ivery Defense Mark Mullaney LE Mike Butler James White LTNT Charles Johnson Doug Sutherland RTRE Ezra Johnson Randy Holloway RELOLB John Anderson Fred McNeill LLBLILB Ed O'Neil JeffSiemon MLBRILB Bruce Beekley Dennis Johnson RLBROLB Mike Douglass John Turner LC Estus Hood Bobby Bryant RC Mike McCoy Tommy Hannon SS Steve Luke KurtKnoff FS Johnnie Gray By TONY WALTER Of the Press-Gazette Dave Roller doesn't kn6w if he'll get a chance to sit on Green Bay Packer quarterback Lynn Dickey today. He isn't sure if he'll be able to find .4 way around Packer guard Derrel Gofourth. And Roller, the Minnesota Viking defensive tackle who once labored for Green Bay, isn't sure how his old friends, the Packer fans, will treat him. But one thing Roller is certain about. If he gets a sack during the Vikings' Lambeau Field showdown with the Packers (kickoff at noon), he'll know exactly what to do about it.

"Dance, that's what I'll do," said Roller quickly. "I don't really know what to expect out there from the fans. I think maybe they'll cheer me and boo the other Vikings. But if I get a sack, I know what I'm going to do. Dance," Lambeau Field dancing was one of Roller's favorite pasttimes when he was a Packer.

A fan favorite after he joined the Packers in 1975, Roller liked to solicit cheers from Packer fans with his crowd-pleasing antips: "I don't have too many highlights as a player," Roller said, "but I'll always remember that last home game of the season against Detroit (1977) when the fans lifted me on their shoulders and then tore the goalposts down. That was a lot of fun until they dropped me and everybody started stepping on me." Roller went out of his way to communicate with Kickoff at noon packer fans and he admits this might -have offended some of his teammates. "It may have upset some of them," he said. "Maybe there was a little jealousy because of the advertisements (television) I'd get. But I always made a special effort to meet the fans.

I did a lot of speaking and I'd stay after practice extra time to talk to people. In professional sports, it gets to where you have to communicate sometimes. More and more players like their privacy but I like to hear what the fans have to say. Sometimes, they make good suggestions."

But Kamish also felt that the treacherous track hurt his eight-man, upright defensive front. "Our defense is predicated on being able to move, and if we can't move they'll blow us out of there," he said. "That's just what happened." St. Norbert's defense, meanwhile, made Stout's wishbone attack an exercise in futility.

Without a back weighing more than 1S5 pounds, the Devils found they couldn't play power football. When they tried to go outside, primarily on the option, keying St. Norbert defenders and the gooey ground made it an impossibility. Finally, Stout had no choice but to pass, exposing its season-long weakness. Quarterback Ken Kartman, a 4-year starter, proved true to form with a nine-for-28 performance.

"The St. Norbert defense played well," agreed Kamish, "but we're a finesse foot- ball team and that slime Continued on D-2 By BOB McGINN Of the Press-Gazette It would be impossible to overstate Joe Hoerning's contribution to St. Norbert College's 21-0 upset victory over UW-Stout Saturday. To put it simply, he was the difference. "There's absolutely no substitute for what Hoerning does for you," acknowledged Green Knight Coach Larry Van Alstine.

"There's just no doubt about that." Hoerning, a 6-foot-l, 210-pound junior from West De Pere, has been the Norbs' key player all season. But -his value multiplied several times over because of the field conditions at Minahan Stadium. The surface, virtually without grass from hash-mark to hashroark, good footing. So St. Norbert called on their big back 21 times.

And when tackles Pat Joseph-son and Keith Wypyszynski, guards Jim Chereskin and Mike Cieslinski, and center Jim Evans took charge of the line of scrimmage, Hoerning punished the Blue Devils with 127 yards, including touchdowns runs of 27 and 12 yards.

Combined, they helped St. N6rbert get 179 yards rushing, more than twice as much as the Knights average, and against a Stout "radar" defense ranked fifth nationally among NAIA schools.

"The No. 4 (sic) defense in the nation? Well, we showed 'em," one Norbert played said sarcastically along the sidelines in the closing moments. Stout Coach Bob Kamish, chagrined by what he termed his team's "horse (bleep)" performance, was free in his compliments to Hoerning. "We've never given a back that much yardage," he said, iportscjr by the Wool People. EDJDS PARK FREE AT OUR DOOR Fri.
