Caps Play For The Love Of It How Wide IS Thai Hall Door? "We're going to miss Joe Tofil," Carpenter interjected. "Joe has been with us since 1962. He has helped me a great deal." Tofil, former Shortridge High School athletic director who was a Caps assistant, suffered a fatal heart attack last May. Carpenter's Caps also won the 1969 Continental Pro Football League title. Among returning stars are quarterback Craig Blackford "throw a football 50 yards chest Ron Barlow, cx-Tech star; Martin Sebastian (North Central) and Chris Lawrie, former Cathedral lineman.

Little Noble York (165 pounds) may be one of the Caps' most exciting York, who will play corner-back, dazzled Butler's crowds last year with record-shatterj ing runbacks of punts and kickoffs. York, too, loves football. Z7 By CORKY LAMM 'THERE ARE THOSE who think anyone waxing lyrical about the game of football ought to have his head examined. (Better to wax floors than lyrics.) The game is rough and typical-" ly American. But, since we're not yet decadent and soft, it still thrives in every hamlet.

Noting this, the Indiana Football Coach- es Association sat down the other day and came up with its first list of men to be who, Crowder contends can ft 1 By JIMM1E ANGELOPOLOUS Their uniforms draped over their shoulders, the new Indy Caps professional football players will stride into the concrete taverns of the CYO Field dressing room Saturday night for the 8 o'clock season-opening kickoff against the Flint, Sabres. Leo Crowder says, "They're chasing a rainbow. These guys are dreamers." Whatever "these guys" are. the Indy Caps are a breed apart. They love football.

But things became so bad last year many of the Indiana Caps players and coaches were owed money. "I think I got paid about $200 for four games," related Brown Marks, the former ln-diana University defensive standout. "The guys have a basic interest. They're not in it for the money. They like to play football.

It's a fun thing because they've been doing it all their lives." Marks is the typical Indy Caps player intelligent, dedicated, prideful, married and a "We're ahead of ourselves at this time compared with-last year," Carpenter contends. "Most of the players have played together at least three years. We'll start five rookies on defense and two on offense. We'll have about 35 players. Marks, Chick Lauck and Pete Bell, all three linebackers, are back.

They'll be the player representatives for our club. Adds Carpenter: "If we can bring in 3,000 people at an average of $3 we can meet the $9,000 gross for each of the five home games." Only the home team gets receipts. The 1972 Indiana Caps went into a receivership for $22,000. Crowder, owner of Leo Crowder Productions, organized the Hoosier Caps but Crowder and the present Indy Caps parted a two weeks ago. "I got a court order to get money from the i r-ship," says Crowder.

"There was about $2,500 when a bond came due and $100 interest. I had to pay the league fee of $2,000. But I'm not with them at all now." So far, the Indy Caps are structured to get paid from gross receipts. 25-year-old employe of Inland Container who makes sacrifices because he loves football. He had a brief shot with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Marks isn't alone. At least half-a-dozen Indiana Caps who won the Midwest Football League crown under Ken Carpenter last year moved into big time football. Dazzling running back Al Moore, rugged linebacker Don Silas and Art Lassiter are with Ottawa, punter Don Warner moved to the Washington Redskins, Terry Hoopner's a safety with Green Bay and ex-Butler end Ephraim Smiley joined the V.C. Lions in Vancouver of the Canadian League. "My philosophy," points out Marks, "is that no players in the NFL hit any harder than they do in this league.

Every year five or six of our players could play in the big leagues with luck." So the Indy Caps open a five-home game season that's a sports-family bargain. All ducats for the 4,500 seats at CYO will go for $3. For Saturday's opener, a special night will permit children under 12 in free if they are accompanied by an adult. Page was coach. And that 84-0 score was the biggest margin ever run up against any team I ever coached.

Maybe that's why, to this day, I've not visited that old Ir-vington campus again!" Bogue was 24 years as Washington's head man, beginning with the 1927 season when they opened the doors out there. And his 105-won, 89-lost, 19-tied record is, by comparison, the most modest of the nine. But Washington mainly was a travelin team they had no lights out there during, Henry's tenure and he managed handsomely against some of the best. His first captain was Phil Bayt, former mayor. He coached Joe Dezelan, the man who lifted Cathedral to the heights.

He had Jim and Red Carter, later all-Americans at Purdue. And Boris "Babe" Diman-cheff, who hopped from Butler to ail-American status at Purdue and later the Chicago Bears. And Harry Cherry, who gave Bo McMillin two years of halfback-ing at Indiana.

metropolitan Indianapolis veterans were included in the first nine Henry Bogue of Washington and Ralph Johnson of Speedway. Ralph is unique in that he spent 34 years in the Speedway spot ever since the school opened and didn't hang it up until after he'd knocked, off another undefeated season last. fall. set for 8:30. NFL official for a decade.

And LaVern Burns, a Purdue man now athletic director at Bloomington South. A native of Iowa (b. Dec. 6, 1892 on a farm near Salem), Bogue helped organize Holly, Colorado's first high school team while a. student in the ranks.

He played four years for Floyd Thomas at William Penn College, the first as an end on the offense and a halfback on defense and the last three as regular center, being elected captain his senior year. Before Washington got this Quaker, he honed up with outstanding high school teams in Illinois at Geneseo Township and Granite City. And if he had it all to do over again, Henry wouldn't change a thing except maybe that Butler score. Bogue is unique for a number of reasons. At 80, he's the oldest of the lot.

And he's the only one who began his coaching career first in the college ranks (at Wilmington in 1920) and then jumped to the high school game. "And that was almost immediately," said Bogue with a Bogue-ish chuckle. "That year I was at Wilmington we lost every game on the schedule and by big margins, too.
