By DON KRl'SE Courier Sports Writer IOWA CITY-Mlchigan State gambled early in the second half and left the gates open for Iowa'i stampede.

The Hawkeyes, smelling a first-division finish, had made up their minds at the halfway mark to toughen up and the Spartans made what proved to be a crucial mistake. Iowa then came up with three second-half touchdowns and dropped the Spartans 33-23 Saturday afternoon in Kin-nick Stadium. The game was played under sunny skies, and temperatures in the mld-60s that brought a crowd of 58.320 out in shirt sleeves. The victory vaulted the Hawks into undisputed fifth place in the Big Ten with a 4-4 record, and gave head coach Hayden Fry a 5-6 record in his first year at Iowa. Michigan State had a 16-13 lead when Coach Darryl Rogers decided to go for a first down on the fourth play of the second half.

The Spartans' sophomore quarterback, Bryan Clark, didn't get the few inches he needed on a fourth down play at his own 29. John Harty was credited with making the big play that turned out to be the game's pivotal point. If the Hawkeye defense had not been supercharged, it certainly was by now. "We got our heads together at half time, and came out really fired up," said Harty. 6-foot-6, 237-pound junior tackle.

Iowa took advantage of the Spartans' fourth down failure and scored five plays later. Quarterback Phil Suess went in from the 7 and Reggie Roby converted the 'extra point for a 20-16 lead. Dennis Mosley, one of 20 seniors playing -his final game, went out with a blast and seized the Big Ten rushing title by gaining 136 yards in 31 carries. Michigan's Butch Woolfolk, who had a slight edge before Saturday, had 68 yards against Ohio State Saturday. J.

-4 ft 1 it sm" Mosley scored three touchdowns, and his first one with 10 49 left in the first quarter gave Iowa a 7-0 lead. His run was only the ninth play of an 80-yard opening drive. The Hawks, with Suess calling the shots, came out firing and in four plays they had moved from their own 20 to the Spartans' 9. The lefthanded Suess, who didn't make the trip to East Lansing a year ago when Michigan State blasted Iowa 42-7, threw for gains of 17 yards to Keith Chappelle and 43 to Jeff Brown on the drive. He completed 11 of 22 passes for 204 yards, but expected his completion percentage to be better.

"I should be hitting 60 percent of my passes the way we are set up," he said. "We saw certain weaknesses in their defense this week that allowed us to do some things." It was Coach Fry who lifted Suess out of Iowa's scout team defensive secondary and made him his quarterback in spring drills. Now Suess. a senior who has one year of eligibility remaining, says he will be back next year. "My plans are to play another year here," he said in response to a question about his future.

Rogers had no second thoughts about getting the first down on the play that came back to haunt the Spartans. "I really thought we could pick up at least that half inch or so with a See IOWA Continued on page 58, col. 1 4 i q) i mr iIiimi ii 1 1 imii i Tin 1 1 TKiiitniTriii-tiii i mi aJ Courier photo by Mary Kollath Jim Swift, Iowa's big tight end, couldn't hang onto this pass down at the MSU 11.

Sigourney defense bottles up Hudson By KEVIN EVANS Courier Sports Writer CEDAR FALLS-Sigoumey's defense held Hudson without a first down for three periods while its offense was totaling 301 Black Hawks post 6-1 victory tfJ A- yards to win the class AA state high school football playoff championship 16-0 here in the UNI-Dome Saturday. Not until the fourth quarter clock showed 9:31 did Hudson get its first first down, and for the game the Pirates had just four. "That is really bad," said a dejected Hudson coach Denny Lenth in talking about his team's lack of offense in the game. "We outweigh them by 40 pounds per man and we still can't get a first down in the first half. Obviously we weren't getting the job done up front." AS IT TURNED out Hudson's offense suffered a severe blow while the team was on defense.

On Sigourney's first offensive possession of the game Hudson quarterback-defensive back Bob Martin was hit by a downfield blocker and sprained an ankle. He left with 7:45 left in the first period and never returned to the field. "That hurts," said Lenth. "He's a three-year starter and a team leader. "But that shouldn't make that much difference.

He doesn't go out there and block as the quarterback. We just didn't Despite no offense in the first half, the Pirates were in good shape at half. Sigourney led 2-0 on a safety on Hudson's second possession. HUDSON STARTED with the ball on its own eight and after gaining seven yards and being penalized 13 on four infractions, the Pirates had to punt from their own 2. Punter Kevin Dimler, standing as deep in the end zone as he could go, got a low snap that bounced before he could get it, and when he couldn't pick it up and boot it away he wisely batted it out of the end zone for a safety, thus avoiding the possibility of a Sigourney touchdown.

That was the only score of the first half, but the Pirates had to make a goal line stand to keep it that way late in the second period. Sigourney marched from its own 26 to the Hudson 7, and had a first down with 59 seconds left in the half. But on fourth and goal from the two the Pirates held and went in at half down just 2-0. "THE DEFENSE played very well." praised Lenth. "We basically controlled them.

But the offense did not do the job. It is just beyond me ho.v we can be that much bigger and every bit as quick and not get something done." In the early going of the third period Hudson had its chances to get on the board. Ken Murray, who filled in for Martin at quarterback, picked off a Sigourney pass and returned it 30 yards to the Savages' 30. But on fourth and 2 from the 22 SeeAA Continued on page 56, col. 1 i 4 Iff lis 4 3 Xn By DAVE SCHWARTZ Courier Sports Writer Strong goal tending by Greg Davis and a hat trick by Tom Horan fueled the Waterloo Black Hawks to a 6-1 triumph over the winless Sioux City Muskateers in a United States Hockey League game Saturday night at McElroy Auditorium.

The game, which was marred by 25 penalties, got off to a sluggish start until Horan picked up a pass from Bob Motzko and beat the Muskateer goaltender Jerry Thompson with a wrist shot from 25 feet away. Thompson actually had the shot stopped with his glove, but let it trickle out into the goal to give the Black Hawks a 1-0 first period lead. In the second period, Bill Grum connected for two goals to increase the Black Hawk lead to 3-0. Grum got his first goal thanks to a nice set up from linemate Tod Worpel. Worpel carried the puck in on the left side and spotted Grum standing in front of the Muskateer net and hit him with a perfect pass that Grum had little trouble with converting to a goal.

GRUM'S SECOND goal came as a result of his own hard work as he wrestled the puck free from the. side boards and beat Thompson cleanly to. his glove side. The Black Hawks came out firing in the third period and quickly opened up their lead to 64. Horan opened the scoring early with a 10 foot slap shot that eluded See HOCKEY Continued on page 56, col.
