About Things By MARK DE COTIS Better Late Than Never; Red Romps TV' jS- TV i A I 1 Bob Joehl, Blocker You can bet vour bottom dollar that they eves of Cornell will be on 160-pound breaker John McKeown when Cornell meets Penn Saturday on the Poly-Turf. McKeown broke the Rutgers game open with an 84-yard scoring run with a blocked field goal attempt, and helped seal the Rutgers fate with two blocked punts and the squelching of a fake-punt attempt. He deserves the attention. The eyes of Cornell should also be on Red fullback Bobbv Joehl. though thev probably won't be.

The 210-pound Joehl is not the kind of ballplayer who attracts much attention. He has scored only two touchdowns in his thrpp-vpar varsitv rarppr Hilt Hie finp tlanlc hoiTO r--Knklir Penn have had 78 games since 1893 and the Red and Blue has won 45 of them. Cornell won 29 and there were four ties. The Jack Musick coaching score against Penn is 5-1. It is rare in a course of 60 minutes of football to have three blocked kicks.

It is even rarer to have three kicks over that span by the same individual. Thus it was quite a distinction for McKeown, whose rushes were unimpeded. It was because of McKeown's speed that Musick brought him up from the 150s last last Fall, not only that but his pass-catching ability. Cornell at that stage of the race was a little shy on receivers. McKeown made his debut at Dartmouth.

He almost caught one of Mark Allen's bombs. He did crash through to block a kick, setting up a TD in the Red's futile comeback effort. Fans haven't seen much of him since not until Saturday on a murky day on the Poly-turf. Then they awakened as did the Redmen as No. 19 blocked John Pescoe's 26-yard field goal try, picked it up, and ran 84 yards to a touchdown.

Later he was to block two punts and on a fake kick-possible pass play he forced a fumble. McKeown is largely the cause of Bateman still thinking about the big turnabout. Here was Rutgers, up by 14 and going for 17, and Cornell still not in the ball game. And suddenly the Red becomes supercharged by this young fugitive from the 150s and becomes ignited. It took the Red 9:13 into the continued on page 19 By KENNY VAN SICKLE Journal Sports Editor During the forepart of the season Cornell home football games start at 2 p.m.

Somebody should tell the Big Red gridders because they don't start playing until about 2:30. At least they didn't Saturday. By the time they came out of the ether Rutgers was up by 14 and going for more. Kick blocking specialist John McKeown helped shake them from their lethargy and they rolled on to a 28-22 victory. Johnny Bateman, Scarlet Knight coach for many years, couldn't get over the turn of events.

"I've never seen such a turnaround game," he commented a little sadly, after seeing the Knights lose a third time in four starts." It was all of that, Rutgers dominating the first 22 minutes. Then Cornell, getting its dander up, took advantage of fumble recoveries, an interception and three fantastic blocked kicks by McKeown to win going away. Cornell thus completed the Rutgers series, a series that will lapse until 1976. It also completed its non-league schedule with 2-0 and heads into the Ivy League slate Saturday when Pennsylvania comes to town. Penn opened Ivy play Saturday by tumbling to Brown, 28-20, at Providence.

Brown leads the league as it heads for Yale. In the other Ivy opener Saturday Colubia and Princeton battled to a 0-0 tie. In its last league encounter the Big Red took Penn, 41-13, on Franklin Field. Penn opened by whaling Lafayette. Cornell and Rich Russo of Cornell moves into the open behind the block of fullback Bobby Joehl in first quarter action Saturday.

While McKeown was giving Rutgers fits, and Big Red quarterback Mark Allen was scoring three touchdowns. Joehl was throwing kev blocks to spring loose Allen and tailback Dan Malone. Joehl threw kev blocks on Allen's go ahead touchdown in the third period, and on Allen's score that ran the tally to 29-14 in the fourth.

Joehl also found time to run for 28 yards on seven carries and score his second varsity touchdown on a four yard run late in the fourth quarter. "They i Rutgers i were rather easy to block on the ends." Joehl admitted in the joyous Cornell locker room, "We had problems at first making acjustments to them, but then things fell in place after we solved our problems." Joehl, the Big Red captain, plaved the game with a bruised thigh that forced him to the sidelines late in the opener with Colgate. He had the thigh heavily padded but admitted it didn't hamper him too much. "It bothered me very little, after it warmed up it was all Joehl sees his captain position as being two fold. "As captain.

I'm expected to miss very few, if any assingments and it is my job to get the guys up for the games, both in the locker room and in the huddle, I know it is really Mark Allen's 'Red quarterback) job to get them up. but it is mine too." Joehl emphasized. One might figure Joehl to be the rah-rah type, as on the field and on the sidelines as he is constantly slapping backs and passing on encouragement. This could come about due to his desire to win. even if it means more blocking for him.

"I am primarily a blocker. I don't get discouraged not running the ball, though I would like to carry it more often." Joehl said. "As long as we keep winning I don't mind the blocking. I've played in four losing games so far. three in 1970.

and one in 1971. and I don't expect to play in any more." Joehl finished. watch Joehl work is a technical pleasure. His 'blocks are crisp, and thev rarely fail. He is one heck of a blocking back.

Monday, October 9, 1972 PAGE 15 Grand Prix Jl a-. Sunday Brim for Jackie it 0 'it I 1 4 4 By FRED YAHN Watkins Glen 8 vaporizing all rumors that he would retire at the conclusion of the current racing season, the tongue-in-cheek Scot millionaire Jackie Stewart, walked away with an easy U.S. Grand 1 Prix victory here Sunday afternoon. Stewart, who won the world Formula One championship in 1969 and 1971. made it two straight U.S.

GP titles for Elf Team Tyrrell cars of England, following teammate Frenchman Francois Cevert's win in much warner weather here last October. Stewart won here in 1968. Cevert almost did as well this time around, finishing second but a full 32 seconds behind the master. A crowd of over 100.000 viewed the 200-mile race. The 33-year old Stewart, with his wife.

Helen, by his side, stood on a chair in the press building as he told the world that he definitely has no plans of retirement between now and the start of the 1973 season, although he will do no more driving in the remaining non-championship events this year. Stewart certainly did not look like the man about ready to retire, if his performance Sunday is any yardstick. He set a record qualifying time Friday on the 3.4-mile course, and held that pole position through Saturday's sessions which were curtailed in the morning by heavy rains. Cold temperatures, ranging in the 40s and high 30s, hampered the Silver Anniversary weekend afestivities. But they didn't slow Jackie.

He tromped his blue Tyrrell-Ford into the first turn, the 90-degree bend, and after that he steadily built up his lead, adding one second per lap. The other 30 starters including some minor mishaps, but the only real driving excitement of the day was Cevert's climb in the standings. The young Frenchman, who scored his first GP victory here one year ago. started fourth on the grid. However, he dropped to ninth position on the first lap.

and then had to gradually come back up through the standings. On the 16th lap, he got to third, and on lap 29, nearly halfway through the race, he took over second spot. Denis Hulme of New Zealand, driving the Yardley McLaren, had SPORTSPEOPLE Wilhelm Shines Of Ithaca High alumni playing college ball in the East Gary Wilhelm. Yale's ace linebacker, perhaps had the best day Saturday as the Elis beat Colgate. 27-7 in the Bowl.

He had 11 tackles and assisted on 12 others, forced a fumble and knocked down two passes. Tom Parr, who missed more than half of the Cornell game with a pulled groin muscle, returned to action for Colgate but had his troubles with the slimey ball and his injury. He had zero net for 15 carries and was 8x13 passing for 89 yards. He threw a 6-vard scoring pass to Steve Fraser. Tom Snickenberger, second string Dartmouth quarterback, played a quarter and a half in the Green's 17-7 victory over Holy Cross at Worcester.

He carried six times and totaled one yard, was 0x2 passing and fumbled three times, losing the ball once. Dartmouth had nine fumbles under miserable playing conditions. He entered in the third period when the Green led. 17-0. Steve Webster.

Syracuse junior fullback, didn't get to play in the 10-2 defeat to Indiana. In three games for the Orange Steve is 5 for 16. Ed Marinaro, Cornell grad with the Minnesota Vikings, saw a little second half action in the loss to St. Louis. He caught one pass for 12 yards.

Jackie Stewart of Scotland (no. 7, Tyrrell-Ford) is about to lap England's Mike Beuttler (no. 6, March-Ford), and another trafficker during early going in his easy U.S. Grand Prix win Sunday at Watkins Glen. Stewart led from pole to pole and collected $62,000, largest road racing purse ever offered.

In fourth was Ronnie Peterson of Sweden, in the STP Marcl Ford. He won $11,000, and also won a memorial award given in honor of the late Jo Siffert of Austria, who was killed last year in a race crash.

Fifth was Belgian Jacky Ickx, in a Ferrari, the last man to finish on the same lap as the winner. Ickx won $10,500. -LI IL 1 1 "Hi miiiii.ii. .1 i.iniiiiLiii.in.) been the only threat to Stewart, but he was a fading one from the start. He finished in third.

Stewart's drive gave him second place in this year's world standings, with 45 championship points. His pole-to-pole win was worth $62,000, including $3,000 for nailing down the pole and another $3,000 for clocking the fastest lap during the race a 1:41.644. or 119.610 m.p.h. on the race's 33rd lap. That was a Glen record.

This year's world champion, Brazilian Emerson Fittipaldi, had terrible luck and finished 30th. He was in and out of the pits, and completed only 17 laps. He had rear end vibration problems. Fittipaldi had taken the suspense away from this year's U.S. GP, since he had already wrapped up the world title at the Italian GP at Monza on Sept.

10. Stewart had nothing but praise for the newly-crowned world champion following the final F-l event of the year. "He is a talented driver and I expect to see the biggest challenge to Elf come from the John Player Lotus team in the future," said Stewart. How did the Elf Tyrrell function during his errorless drive? "The best that I've ever seen, and that was the best start that I've ever seen here at Watkins Glen," Stewart continued. "I did have a bit of an oil leak but I think I could smell it at the start, and it didn't give me much problem," smiled Jackie.

"We had troubles at the beginning of the season, and there have been no differences in my driving as the season has progressed. I just wish there were six more Grands Prix so that I would have a shot at the title," he said, commenting on the season which is now history. There were 12 championship Grands Prix this year, and Watkins was the rishest ever, totalling $275,000 in prize money. Stewart this finished out the season with wins in the two richest Grands Prix, Canada and U.S. The retirement rumors had persisted after Jackie had revealed in July that he was seeing physicians in his Switzerland hometown, for a bleeding ulcer.

He was signed to drive for McLaren in the rich Can-Am series, but had to pull out when doctors told him that he could only drive in Formula One. Most F-l events were within a few hours plane ride of his Swiss villa. But Stewart made it apparent that not only Formula One but Can-Am is still open to him in the 1973 season. "I have no plans for retirement," he stated flatly. America's best hope for a U.S.

GP win were dashed early Sunday, when Peter Revson, driving a Yardley McLaren, had a minor bump with another car and it dented part of his car's wind structure. Revson had to pit for repairs, and finally he stopped his vehicle after 54 laps out on the course. He finished 18th, after grabbing the no. 2 pole spot. One American, Mario Andretti, finished sixth in a Ferrari, two minutes behind Stewart.

He drove a creditable race, as the Ferraris stayed bunched. 1. Jackie Stewart. Scotland, Tyrrell Ford. 59 laps completed, elapsed time 1:4 1 45 354, average speed 117 483 total winnings 162.000.
