THE SUNDAY PRESS 3 Syracuse Mistakes Keep It Close, 1740 Binghamton, N.Y., Sept. 10, 1972 0 td mm two carries: that late insurance play plus the first play of the game, a 22-yard burst around the right side. The Ruoff vs. Mike-Mayer duel wound up 5-4, on the strength of Temple scoring one touchdown and both missing tape measure tries in the first quarter, Ruoff's 52-yard attempt on line, but only halfway into the end zone and Mike-Mayer's ambitious 62 yard try a little farther short, take 58 dan Mike-Mayer, who last year Praetorius and the streamlined 1972 Januszkiewicz at 212 (down 12 pounds from last year) who pounded out 198 yards for the day for almost four times Temple's rushing total, the lockup play was a 32-yard scissors scamper by wingback Greg Allen on a third and 10 crisis at the Syracuse 38. The fleet Allen, who sat out 1970 in the black gadders' boycott and 1971 because of hepatitis, had 75 yards for the day, but most of it came on gave up the ball on a first down inside the Temple 5, the generosity was compounded by an ill-chosen pass which Temple intercepted at mid-field.

The Owls managed to keep in the game. The choice of scoring plays by Coach Wayne Hardin was an eyebrow-raiser, however. With the score 17-7, less than 3'A minutes to go and a 4th-and-2 at the Syracuse 9, Hardin sent in his own kicking specialist, senior Nick Mike-Mayer, who delivered the field goal only to have the Roger Praetorius-Marty Januszkiew-icz hammering machine hold onto the ball for the rest of the game. Hardin's reasoning, he said later: "We needed two scores and if we hadn't made it in that situation that puts us out of the game. With the field goal, we still had a chance to score the TD if we hold them, and I definitely would go for the two-pointer." Although it was a 220-pound more kicking specialist Bernd Ruoff, a blond-topped sidewinder who was born in Germany and football-oriented in Kitchener, where hockey is the usual specialty.

Only four plays later Ruoff lofted a 40-yarder, which for several indecisive moments looked like the necessary insurance. The official standing beneath the goalposts signaled good, but referee Giles Threadgold, better known as a hockey ref, tippytoed all the way to the goal line without a signal, then in almost secretive fashion reached down and wigwagged in "no good" message while facing the Temple bench. Syracuse's protests were to no avail, and when the last of the Orange turnovers then By JOHN W. FOX Press Sports Editor SYRACUSE -The German-Canadian rookie outpointed the Hungarian-Italian veteran in the individual-kicking event but Syracuse University's 17-10 margin over Temple in team competition yesterday was barely a gold-medal performance. Despite defensively imprisoning the Philadelphians for most of the game, Syracuse's grindstone backs coughed up the ball at enough crucial stages to keep from locking up the Archbold Stadium football opener that had been 14-0 at halftime with Temple never having reached the Orange 45.

Except for a 6y2-minute portion of the second quarter, Syracuse's only score was a 32-yard field goal by sopho kicked 12 FGs and was second only in the nation to Oklahoma's John Carroll in kick-scoring (62 points), was bora in Bologna, Italy, the son of a Hungarian soccer pro who'd gone there to play and later emigrated to New Jersey for the same purpose. Hardin calls his 5-foot-8, 158-pounder (pronounced mikka-mayer) the best college kicker in the country and Maryland has his 28-year-old brother doing his kicking, after reject in a Philadelphia Eagle trial. Both Ruoff and Mike-Mayer also are punters, and it was the Syracuse soph's coffin-cor-ner accuracy which kept Temple penned much of the game. He hangs them high, and on one occasion, when the Owls sprung a freak 3-4-3-1 defense on fourth-down, he lofted one which breakaway threat Paul Loughran had to field on the one-foot line. On a later fourth-quarter situation, the crowd of 21,062 groaned when Ben Schwartzwalder called for a punt on the Temple 33, then applauded approval when Ruoff arched a nubber out of bounds at the 3V.

Senior Doug Shobert, who last year led the nation in passing accuracy with a .629 figure, threw 31 times and completed less than half despite several being of the slip-: pass or flat variety, while the Orange pass rush and alert linebackers caused three first-half interceptions compared to his 1971 total of U. He hit junior tight end Randy Grossman for the lone Owl TD, however, and hit Grossman twice more just before the field goal. Both Praetorius and AH-American defensive tackle (1970) variety Joe Ehrmann had been doubtful performers after extended injuries. Praetorius arrived early and Ehrmann was tough as nails when pressed into action by Endwell senior Steve Joslin's Brock's Boots Set Up Mets By Press Wire Services Gary Gentry hurled hitless ball for the first five innings and then was rescued by reliever Tug McGraw in the eighth yesterday as the New York Mets defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 3-1, with the help of a pair of errors by Lou Brock.

ankle injury only moments later. Ehrmann, given an extra year's eligibility after 1971 knee woes, ran short "on legs" but his teammates presented him the game ball: "to a guy we missed all last year." Temple's touchdown early in the third" quarter was the first time in Hardin's three seasons that an Owl has scored an opening day touchdown, but the ex-Annapolis coach has brought them back to respectability. Not since a 7-6 victory over Schwartzwalder's 1950 Syracuse team has Temple beaten one of the East's recognized major independents, but it is challenging Penn State and Pitt on near-future schedules. Steve Webster, the Ithaca High wonder-boy who scored 400 points in a triumphant 1967-70 career, appeared for only one carry, a 12-yard ei-cape from his two just before halftime. With that kind of percentage one disbelieving STAC-watch-er (perhaps not realizing that Praetorius and Januszkiewicz are close to 3,000 yards for 01' Ben) came to the press-box with a post-game query "Is Webster paralyzed or And Cornell publicist Ben Mintz, on a busman's holiday with three weeks to go 'til his Colgate opener, admitted that Webster is ahead of Ed Marinaro's pace: "Marinaro's first carry, against Buffalo in 1969, was only 10 yards."

We may talk world peace but we teach nationalism.

We speak of an all-embracing love while we kill in a sophisticated way, of course. We wrap up greed, jealousy and an unbridled lust for power in flags. We can't gather together in peaceful conclave; we're too busy looking for angles. Even our games are suborned by petty bickering and monstrous madness. We claim humanity while, like the rats, we destroy our own species.

We are failures in almost every respect but one. We try. And because we try, maybe some good can come from the frightful and frightening massacre at Munich. Maybe it will shock us into a belated recognition of our plight. The brutal slaughter of the athletes may do what no peace conference, Nobel Prize, or religion has yet achieved make us take a long hard look at nationalism and ourselves.

And accept it for what it is, a doctrine of self-interest for some at the expense of others. memorial to the dead if their sacrifice returned the Games to their original purpose, the glorification of the individual athlete instead of a political entity. No box scores on medals won; maybe no team sports; no names on warm-up jackets; no uniforms, just numbers; no national flags, no entries by countries just individuals. No tired old pols running the show. The youngsters seem to do better.

No political embargoes just athletes trying to test their abilities, not their beliefs. There have been scores of suggestions for restroring the Games to their original meaning and purity. Most of these have merit. But their success depends on the recognition thattechnologyhasso changed the texture of our societies that we must become one world, not a myraid of borders drawn on a map by conquest or negotiation. I hope it happens.

But we have no more insight into the human mind not really than we had 1500 years ago when the Emperor Theodosius terminated the ancient Olympic Games as an abomination, an exercise in chicanery and skullduggery, too corrupt with nationalism to merit continuation.

But that is to blame the few for the guilt of the many or to put off perhaps forever self-examination. W7ho or what created the moral justification that led eight Arab guerrillas to commit murder so callously? Who or what led them to believe their action might be condoned, even applauded, in some quarters? Who taught them and who approved the teaching? Try as we may, none of us can escape a share of the responsibility, although god knows we will try.

For we are the same who shrugged off the horrors of Auschwitz and Belsen, who allow innocents to be slaughtered in pseudo wars for their own good, who turn their backs on a religious war in Northern Ireland and sabotage a plan to end hijackings through an international embargo on asylum. The participants in the Twentieth Olympiad set records by the score to no avail.

Over the years we have been in direct oposition on every issue save one his battle against the intrusion of politics into what he came to look on almost as his own Games.

That Mr. Brundage has fought a losing battle (his last and probably most galling defeat being the question of Rhodesia's participation) cannot lessen the gallantry of his willingness to stand up and fight for an idea which, more often than not, was unpopular. Now I find myself in his corner again. To have terminated the Games would have crowned the murderers with laurel. Israel has always recognized the futility of surrendering to terrorist tactics.
