CHICAGO TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1970 Section 3 3 Campus Quotations Along the Sports Trail urdue Beating Kentucky by Robert Markus Was No Fluke: Meyer WISHES would make it so I'd wish on this Christmas I (MIES). 0 ristmat 1,111111 cht morning: BY ROY DAMER AY MEYER, De Paul's1 tot Jim Dooley, a healthy Gale Sayers and another running back to go with him plus a couple of hard-nosed defensive backs, the kind he's always vpnted. For Ed Short, a new job in veteran basketball coach, was impressed "They have a fine leader in Larry Weatherford. And Bob Ford is out of this world; his shooting and rebounding are outstanding. "I was more impressed with their defense than anything else.

They are really quick. "In their first night's game against Kansas State," continued Meyer, "they had 30 turnovers, and I wouldn't have given a nickel for them. I think the press inadvertently won the Kentucky game for them. There was a total by Purdue's 89 to 83 victory over Kentucky in the finals of the Kentucky Invitational last Saturday night, "On the basis of that game, Purdue should be the favorite in the Big Ten race," said Meyer, whose Blue Demons also played in the tourney. "I have seldom seen a team play with that zest.

It was not a fluke; Purdue was great that night. FA 19V0bv7VChieoTribuM HuiilRiil.UReurl baseball in Milwaukee, maybe? For Alex Agase, another back like Mike Adamle and another year with no serious injuries. And for Mrs. Agase a big bouquet of roses to be delivered on New Year's Day ,1972. For Ron Santo, a season withs nothing but cheers.

For Pete Rozelle, another football season as exciting as this For Lee May, somebody besides Brooks Robinson playing third base against him in the world series. For Earl Weaver, the manager of the year award he should have received last year.

"a HAVE i- i i i nuiu i a cm i i jm OR OAKLAND RAIDERS' fans a bottle of tranquilizers. of 52 turnovers, and the papers blasted Kansas State and Purdue and the brand of basketball in their conferences." Some writers had to eat their words the following night. Greg Jackson, Illinois' big center from Chicago, says he's in the best condition of his career and "I'm looking forward to playing more and more effectively this season." Jackson is in better shape, even tho he weighs more than he did a year ago 265 pounds compared with 250.

"I'll lose five or 10 pounds as the season goes on," he relates. "I'm watching my diet very closely and Donna his wife keeps tabs on the calorie count pretty well." Jackson, who has had foul trouble in his first two seasons, said, "I think I'll be able to play more relaxed this season, and that will enable me to play more. In the past, we knew I had to try to avoid the fouls, the other team knew it, and the officials knew it. Perhaps they got to looking for me. I'm not going to worry so much about it this season.

I hope that it will mean more playing time for me." Illinois plays Villanova'in a first-round game of the Rainbow Basketball Tournament tomorrow night in Honolulu. Jackson leads the 4-1 Illini in scoring with a 22-point "If we have one problem," said Coach Harv Schmidt, "it's that we're too intense. In other words, many of our players are trying too hard and it's affecting their play." Those close to the scene in Champaign say that Ray Eliot, former Illini coach and now assistant athletic dire-tor, was the principal foce For Cleveland, a professional basketball team. For Joe Kapp, Gene Washington to catch his alley-oop passes. For the Chicago Bulls, a realignment.

For the Bears, the same thing. For Hank a softer schedule. For the football Cardinals, a 10-game season. For Tom Dempsey, a 64-yard field goal. For Howard Cosell, a little humility.

For Ray Meyer, an agile big man. For Jimmy the Greek Snyder, a sensible, line on the Super Bowl. For Dave Hill, a pitch and putt course for the U. S. Open.

For Big Ten fans, repeal of the Rose Bowl no-repeat rule. 1 For Michigan's Frank Moloney, a head coaching job. For Iowa's football team, a topnotch coach like Frank Maloney? Ray Meyer behind the school naming Blackman to succeed Jim Valek. Eliot also was extremely high on one of his former players, Coach Alex Agase of Northwestern, but Alex decided to remain with the Wildcats. Informed sources say that Lou McCuIlough, Ohio State defensive coordinator, was as acceptable to Illinois as was Blackmani But Illinois wanted the image of a head coach, and thus the pendulum swung to Blackman.

Speaking of Illinois, its new football coach, Bob Black-man, was asked whether he's a stern disciplinarian or takes a liberal approach with his players. "I'd say I'm an unpopular guy in the field," answered Blackman. "I hope our connhes have a close rapport with the players. "But a head coach has nine words of criticism for every word of praise. A coach cannot conduct a popularity contest on the field.

When I'm on the field, you'd probably have to say I have a nasty disposition." if in irr niiiTiiim- Tnrminiirunimiimiii hi mm MAC DIVOT Anp A ODMFCRTABLE 4-HOLE LEAP WtTH ONWTHE FINAL 9 I WE'RE QUITE A WAYS VNO WE'KE NOT (V HOLES TO PLA BUT I THW BADLY I 5ECUEEIN I '''SWK FVJVlt'Wl R5J'T F16UKE WE'PE AND THEY CAN'T GIL THORP "7 ,7 Are they They certainly 1 I 17 lite to take time out I think Tod and Eve will flip I'm glad having a and fm going to be I to wish season's greetings to I over this sitor at?

WILL SCIIWENN THERE wlU be a lot of Bear fans rooting for "Cousin Virgil" in the playoffs and the Super Bowl. LIONEL CARTER RECENTLY" a a 1 Sabres' fan stated that the Black Hawks lacked playing abil'ly 1 and Dan Moloney lacked fighting ability. The Buffalo fan is a good candidate for the Empty Heads Club. PETE CARNEY A I NHILL of the Dallas Cowboys, Rookie of the Year in 1969 with just under 1,000 rushing yards, says he is irritated at being a bench warmer this season. Rookie Duane Thomas stepped in after Hill suffered a back injury against Kansas City early in the season and ran so well that he won the running back post.

Calvin was quoted: "If I can't make it as a running back here, maybe I can play for somebody else." I think the Bears ought to make a bold move for the betterment of their ground game next season. Calvin Hill's the name. BILL TOMAN IF THE White Sox are to Improve, they must make some trades. An easier way would have been to keep Lnl Apariclo Vote Adamle Most Valuable in Big 10 Continued from first page who received wide support but mostly on second-place nominations. The balloting was conducted on a basis of two points for a first-place vote and one for a second-place vote.

Those participating in the voting were the conference coaches, 10 veteran officials, Bill Reed the Big Ten commissioner, Cooper Rollow, sports editor of The Tribune, and this writer. In order to win the Silver Football, an athlete first must be chosen by his teammates as his school's most valuable player, thus becoming eligible for the conference prize. Adamle received 80 of the 81 votes cast by Northwestern players in balloting for their most valuable, and the only vote he didn't receive was his own. The award was established with Big Ten approval by the late Harvey T. Woodruff, onetime conductor of In The Wake Of The News column.

Red Grange of Illinois was the first winner In 1924. Adamle joins his coach, Alex Agase, as a Silver Football winner. Agase captured the honor in 1946 as a lineman at Illinois. The trophy is customarily presented at halftime of a varsity basketball game. The most valuable selections of the 10 schools: Illinois Doug Dieken, tight end.

Indiana Chris Morris, tackle. Iowa Dave Clement, linebacker. Michigan Don Moorhead, quarterback, and Henry Hill, middle guard. Michigan State Eric Allen, halfback. Minnesota Jeff Wright, defensive back.

Northwestern Mike Adamle, fullback. Ohio State Jim Stillwagon, middle guard. Purdue Stan Brown, flanker. Wisconsin Chuck Winfrey, linebacker. Adamle is the fourth Northwestern player to win the Silver Football, and the first since Art Murakowski in 1948.

Adamle's father is Tony, the team doctor at Kent State and a former teammate of Agase with the Cleveland Browns. Not many schools were Interested In the younger Adamle when he graduated from high school because of his lack of size. "We offered him a full scholarship and Miami of Ohio offered him a half scholarship," related Agase. "And that was it I offered him a full scholarship not because he was Tony's son, but because I thought he could play Big Ten football." Agase turned out to be a good judge of football talent in this case. Adamle is a complete football player and is an excellent blocker, pass receiver, and thrower, in addition to his running ability: He completed all three passes he threw last season for 70 yards and a touchdown and also caught 14 aerials for 134 yards and two scores.

But it was as a runner that Adamle will be long remembered by Wildcat fans. Built close to the ground, Mike had tremendous balance and was a tough little man to bring down. It usually took two, three, or four men to stop this athlete who gave out with second effort as a matter of course. Adamle carried the ball 304 times a school record last season, so you can see he was belted by opponents perhaps 1,000 times. But he proved his durability by coming thru this difficult task without an injury all season.

In his junior year, Adamle set a school mark when he ran for 316 yards against Wisconsin. 1 The other Big Ten records established by Adamle in 1970 were most rushes in a season, 250; most rushes in a game, 48 against Minnesota; and average rushes per game, 35.7. Mike holds all of Northwcstern's marks for rushing yardage and attempts for a game, season, and career. He totaled 1,255 yards laisl season and became the first Wildcat to rush more than l.ouo yards. The old school mark for one season was 6)18 set by Rich Athan in 1950.

Adamle was( small physically according to football standards, but he proved how really big he was on the gridiron. IF SANTA has been reading Sound Off. I hope be dropped the following goodies in the stockings of some of jour notable local sports personages. George Halas: A good draft tand an economical one, if possible. Jim Dooley: A magic drug for knee injuries and boo-birds.

Leo Durocher: A new radio 'show on which the audience -doesn't get to ask embarrass-'Jng questions. Ernie Banks: A pennant. Jack Concannon: A steady 'job and some white polish for bis shoes. Billy Reay: A long drink "from the Stanley Cup. Bobby Hull: A referee who' will call penalties on all those "defensive specialists" who hold, slash and trip him.

Keith Magnuson: A Bobby Orr doll which he can wind up and then belt. Ron Santo: A sound machine which produces nothing but applause. John Allyn: A lot of paying spectators. Chuck Tanner: A real revival of the Go-Go Sox. Dick Motta: An easier division.

Bob Love: Some recognition as one of the best forwards In the game. Alex Agase: A team in 1971 just like be had in 1970. The Chicago Sports Fans: Winners in every sport. WILLIAM E. CARSLEY I'D LIKE to see the Bears have a pep talk by W.

Clement Stone every week next year. They could turn into a powerhouse. It might cost Mr. Halas a little more monev. but.

Bears went on to overwhelming 35 to 17 triumph, and Sound Off writer Dan Hannon urged that W. Clement Stone be brought back to give the Chicagoans more "pep talks" next season. It also was a happy day for Ron Bianchi, one of the few Bear fans in Northern Michigan.

1 WOODY'S WORLD s.z A poor grade of football up here. That fellow disregarded Arkansas' other nine victories and the fact that the Razorbacks were playing the No. 1 team in the country. He then showed he is a fine candidate for the Empty Heads Club by saying Stain ford and Southern California are superior to Arkansas. These twrj teams only have a half-dozen losses between them.

A HOG ON LAND The Black Hawks' Dan Maloney really is interested to playing hockey, but it is players like Gil Perrnult who drag him into a fight and generally get a good beating. Dan did not go looking for this fight fon Dec, 9 when the Hawks routed Buffalo, 6 to 11. What happened was that Perratilt tried to get Into the Fleming-Magnuson fight, and this just isn't kosher- in hockey fights. ''Maloney has plenty of ability, or he would not have made the Black Hawk team in the first place. In regard to voir S.bres, Phil rile.

3. A flame-throwing right-handed relief pitcher. LEN MARZEU THE FELLOW who ran down Arkansas for looking bad against Texas was a typical Midwest college foot-, ball fan.
