THE MORNING HERALD, HAGERSTOWN, MD. 14, IMt Shepherdstown Shuts Out Undermanned Hancock, 26-0 Boyd Hurls Runs For Four TDs Bv DON CLEVER HANCOCK Larry Boyd likes to pitch footballs. And he likes to run when he has the chance. Boyd did a lot of both in pacing Shep herdstown's Cardinls to i 26-0 lacing of hapless Han cock Thursday afternoon. In fact.

Boyd stole the thunde- from Cardinal fullback Ron Kidrick, the fifth leading area scorer. The Cardinal quarterback sneaked for one touchdown and tossed for three others.

Hancock, taking advantage of a fumble recovery by guard Randy Stotler at the Shepherdstown 39, made its only real scoring threat near the end of the third period.

After driving to the 12, however, Russell intercepted a Steve Northcraft pass on his own eight and returned it ten yards. A fourth and seven gamble which backfired on the Panthers from their own 33 set up the final score for Shepherdstown. Boyd's passing arm keyed the drive, throwing first to Harry Weller for 12 yards and then to Rick Wright for nine. A personal foul, however, set the Cards back to the 23.

St. James school, still looking for its first win after three games, is in town today to do battle with one of the Interstate Athletic Conference's toughest teams, St. Albans. lost just one of their three starts, have been bogged down the last couple of in tie ball games and sometimes a hard- played draw will take the starch out of a team. Still, Dave Wachter, the man The Saints, who've actually who coaches the Saints, feels Waynesboro JV's Get Revenge In Grid Test WAYNESBORO.

Pa. If revenge means anything, Waynesboro's junior varsity gridders made a lot of people happy here Thursday night. The Junior Indians, on the warpath after their varsity mates suffered humiliation to Westminster last week, all but buried the Westminster reserves in an avalanche of touchdowns, 63-12. Leading the TD parade was Mike Shatzer, who accounted for five of Waynesboro's ten touchdowns, and Rick Blubaugh, a nifty quarterback who fired for six TDs, including four tosses to Shatzer. Waynesboro scored twice in the first quarter for a 14-0 edge, then riddled the Westminster de- Tom Smith took a 63-yard pass from quarterback Dan Schacffcr for the other.

his team has lost none of its pre-season enthusiasm and, in fact, will be very much "up" for this game. "Wd still haven't lost in league play." he said Thursday night. "And if we win today I think It will provide us with tremendous momentum for the rest of the year." However, winning today will be no soft touch for the Saints. St. Albans.

Its lone loss in four games came at the hands of Wilson High, currently the leader in the Washington" Public League, and it was just by one point.

Moore May Be Sidelined For Detroit BALTIMORE (AP) Balti more Colts halfback Lenny Moore pulled a leg muscle during Thursday's practice and is considered a doubtful starter for Sunday's National Football League game with the Detroit Lions here. Moore pulled the muscle as he sprinted from the turf of Memorial Stadium onto a bare area of the basepaths, unsodded and hard from a season and two World Series games.

Moore's starting position is to be filled by all-purpose back Tom Matte, who may be called on to go the entire game on offense. The number three halfback, Gerald Allen, has a i sprained knee and may not be in uniform. Coach Don Shula's injury wracked Colts are now two short of the 40-man player limit with the placing of linebacker Steve Stonebreaker and lineman Sam Ball on waivers. Stonebreaker had an operation for torn knee ligaments and may be out for the season. Ball also has torn ligaments and is to be out indefinitely.

In the backfield, Jerry Hill is ready for action after a layoff due to a broken bone in his hand. If he goes at fullback Tony Lorick might be used to back up both Hill and Matte. Meanwhile, Shula is expected to activate fullback Bob Baldwin and linebacker Barry Brown from the Colts' band squad to bring the squad up lo the 40- playcr limit. The two are expected lo join the force of the ipeciality teams, wWch handle punts and kickoffs offensively and defensively. I Westminster saved what little face it could in the final stanza.

Westminster Touchdowns: Albans, we're going to have to put a lot of pressure on him." St. Albans also has a topnotch tailback in Jeff Karnes, and some fine fine receivers that will provide a stern test for the Saints defense, which has been stingy all year. But Wachter, while conceding St. Albans' offensive power, thinks his own te; iam can move the ball.

(AP) Kenny Stabler is the hottest passer in the country but his ability to count may be more important to Alabama Saturday when the third-ranked Crimson Ti'de battles Tennessee. The Volunteers could be the last big stumbling block in Alabama's bid for a third straight Southeastern Conference and national football championship. The Tide will be out to avoid the counting error that left them with a 7-7 tie against Tennessee last fall.

Alabama's last-minute bid fo victory was halted in Tennesse territory by a pass purposely thrown out of bounds to stop th clock on fourth down. Tennessee took over and si. vaged a tie, and a Voluntee aide gleefully recalled Thursda, "that fourth-down pass by Als bama was our favorite play."

And if anyone has the notion that Boonsboro will be a soft touch for Rjck Eyler and his gang of Owls might chat a little with Scott.

Samoa Stopping Eyler is the big assignment for Boonsboro, the Warrior coach admits, but indicated Westminster is far from being a one-man team. "They have Larry Sechrist, a fine blocker, receiver and defensive man; linebacker Richard Dick- enshcets, and a youngster, Bruce' Cowan, who seems to have a patent on the Owls' double reverse from his wingback post," Scott said. I Scott considers Eyler "the I best back in the league," but further states that his own Gary Getridge is the best fullback in the league. Eyler is a running halfback. And he feels junior quarterback Skip Kauffman is coming along nicely.

"We hope to throw more than we have in the past," Scott said in announcing plans for Friday night's game. Kauffman fits into these plans. If the Warrior coach sounds a note of optimism it's because Boonsboro is going to be at nearly fullstrength for the first time in several weeks. Reentering the starting lineup after missing two games will be Ernest Best, "an all-around performer," Scott said. Best had a bad bruise that took him out of the left offensive end and right defensive halfback posts.

Craig Moore had been ailing with a bad knee. But the team physician okayed the return to his right linebacker post. "We'll see how well he holds up," Scott said. There is a possibility a Westminster reached its season peak against Waynesboro last week, but Coach Earl Hersh hat confidence his team won't get cocky after its easy, 32-14, manhandling of the Indians. The Owls are undefeated in three league games, 4 and 1 overall, losing only to Bel Air 48-19.

"We're cpming off our best game of the season (the win over Waynesboro) and our boys showed tremendous spirit 'in that one," Coach Hersh said, "but we know Boonsboro can be tough they've shown it so lar this year." "I certainly don't think our team will be over-confident about tonight's game," he noted. Westminster must seem awesome to Tri-State fans outside the Owls' roost. Certainly Boonsboro must seem like 'David" going against a The Warriors, naturally, lope for an ending similar to the Biblical story.
