BY JERRY SIINAY Chicaio Tribune Press Sonic) NOTRE DAME, Oct.

16 With an offense like a tank corps and a defense like a Rock of Gibraltar, Notre Dame won another football war here This fifth triumph of the season, before a capacity crowd of 59,075 in Notre Dame Stadium, was a 16-0 whitewash of outmanned North Carolina. -'4 s' i I own 11. During the march Brown took a keeper play 12 yards and might have made 50 more had not Linebacker John Bunting made a saving open-field tackle. The next play was that record-setting toss to Gatewood and five plays later the Irish had to settle for a second Thomas kick from the 28, just 51 seconds into the second period. Notre Dame struck again after some Tar Heel trickery.

Lou Jolley took the kickoff, after the second field goal on the goal.returned it to the N. C. 10, then pitched a half-field lateral to End Earle Bethea, who raced 48 yards down the sidelines until being corraled by Clarence Ellis. Miller's pass was then stolen by Ellis, who returned it 18 yards to the Notre Dame 45. From here nine plays took it to the North Carolina 7 and again Thomas kicked for the three points, a 14-yarder.

Notre Dame missed a score early in the final period after a third stanza As far as North Carouna was concerned, its only good effort toward a score was after a recovered fumble in the third period. An interference call against Crotty and a 20-yard pass to Bethea, who outfought Ellis for the ball, gave the visitors a first down on the Irish 4. Three running efforts lost one yard and Ken Craven's field goal try was deflected by Mike Kadish. This was the first time in 39 games that a Bill Dooley-coached North Carolina team has been blanked. And Dooley knew the reason why his team lost its second in an row after four victories.

"Notre Dame is the best defensive football team I've ever seen." Sometimes even a Rolls-Royce can't match a Sherman tank, when it comes to going places. Notre Dame Quarterback Cliff Brown stays in pocket and fires pass over arms of onrushing North Carolina lineman inifmnju wm -w v. 1 fax: I iVif Gophers Avert Iowa Upset 19-14 Buckeyes Bea oosiers 27-7 ,111 1 WJ if- a. 9- 1 I Guided by a sophomore quarterback, the Irish offense sometimes clattered and clanked, but still managed to set one record and tie another in the conquest. Yet what was more impressive was a suddenly mushrooming scoreless streak that massive defensive wall has going.

The Irish have allowed only 16 points all year and those defenders have now played 14 quarters without allowing a touchdown. North Carolina couldn't do it today. The Tar Heels, operating without their best runner, junior Tailback Ike Ogles-by were simply no match and had only one good scoring chance in the game. Cliff Brown, the first black quarterback to start for the Irish, guided the team to three field goals the first three times he called the signals. That trio of three-pointers, all by Sophomore Bob Thomas of Rochester, N.

tied the school mark set by the legendary Gus Dorais, in 1913, against Texas. Brown also powered the team to a 10-play, 41-yard touchdown drive midway in the fourth period. The score was a four-yard pitch to Split End Tom Gate-wood on fourth down. In the first period, Brown and Gate-wood teamed up on a 26-yard pass play that gave the end 139 career catches, bettering the 138 caught by Jim Seymour from 1966 to 1968. Irish Coach Ara Parseghian had words of praise for Brown altho admitting the coaches called 60 to 70 per cent of the plays.

"Cliff did call some audi-bles at the line of scrimmage," he added. "Sure Cliff made some mistakes out there, but this is to be expected from a sophomore starting his first game." But it was that ever present defense that hounded and pestered the Tar Heels into submission. North Carolina had eight first downs, but four the last three periods and the team which had been averaging 400 yards in offense its first five games was limited to 149. It was the defense that gave the Irish the first break of the game as Walt Patulski, the 260-pound defensive end, stripped Tar Heel Quarterback Paul Miller of the football with Notre Dame recovering on the N. C.

45. Ten running plays drove the ball to a fourth down situation on the Tar Heels' 10, and Thomas kicked a 28-yard field goal with 6:05 left in the period.

The second field goal came in the last play of the half- The Gophers went ahead in the third period.

They pushed Iowa back into its own territory, forced the Hawkeyes to punt and took over on the Iowa 42. Eight plays later they had the touchdown. Ernie Cook, whose running led the march, scored from a half yard out and Anderson kicked the extra point, making the score Minnesota 13, Iowa 7. On the next series, Sunderman was stopped on his own 39 on a fourth down situation and it looked like the Gophers' chances of scoring again were golden. However, Curry threw low when pitching back to John Marqueson and Dave Simms recovered for Iowa on his own 35.

After absorbing 16 yards in losses in two passing attempts, Sunderman cut loose with a bomb. Reardon, his secondary target, caught the ball on the enemy 23 and scored on a 70-yard play. Kokolus kicked the extra point and Iowa led 14-13 with the final period one minute old. Curry's running and passing led a counterattack that brought the ball to the Iowa 34. Aided by a Minnesota clipping penalty, the Hawkeyes were able to hold.

However, on the second play after taking over Sunderman threw wildly on an attempted pilchout and Scott Irwin fell on the football for the Gophers on Iowa's 28. It was all Cook the rest of the way and helped by a personal foul against the HawkeyesJ Minnesota scored the winning touchdown in six plays. Cook got the TD on a fourth down smash from the 1. A pass for the two-point conversion was incomplete. Iowa took the kickoff with sufficient time remaining 5:50.

demons ran it out to the 24 and Sunderman went to work. In a few plays notably a 24-yard pass to Osby he was in Minnesota territory. However, as the junior scrambled on a third-down, long-yardage situation he fumbled again and Joe Light, Minnesota's star linebacker recovered. The Gophers took over on their own 42 and Cook and Curry ate up tre clock. was absolutely outstanding," Minnesota Coach Murray Warmath raved.

"Now and then Curry had a bad play like the interception and fumbles but then he came back with some brilliant plays. It was a hard fought game that lacked some polish. Take away the fumbles and it would be as good a game as you'd want to see." "We better today, but obviously not good enough to win," said Lauterbur in the Iowa dressing room. "We broke down at critical times." Cook-ed at Home BY NEIL MILBERT Chiceee Tribune Prtu Service) IOWA CITY, Oct. 16-Floyd of Rose-dale, a prize little piggy fattened by football traditions dating back to 1891, went to market this Indian Summer afternoon.

There were goats on ever side weaving the colors of the University of Minnesota and Iowa University. And when the running of the goats was completed it turned out that Iowa had a corner on the market. The home team's field goal failures and fourth period fumbles gave Minnesota a 19-14 victory on a silver platter. The triumph before a crowd of 51,488 was the second in three Big Ten games for the Gophers, who have the unenviable task of taking on unbeaten Michigan next week. Unsuccessful in its attempt to regain "Floyd," the bronze pig who has been in Minnesota posession since 1968, winless Iowa suffered its sixth straight loss.

The Hawkeyes, in their first season under Frank Lauterbur, who compiled the nation's longest winning streak at Toledo, are 0-4 in the conference. Lauterbur's lads were two-touchdown underdogs and played inspired football. But they made mistakes at the wrong times and failed to capitalize when the Gophers were guilty of no-nos. Three times from distances of 34, 45. and 38 yards field goal attempts by Iowa's Harry Kokolus went off to the right.

The first time Minnesota had the ball Iowa's Jim Waschek recovered a fumble by Quarterback Craig Curry at the Gopher 44. Iowa penetrated to the enemy 16, ran out oi gas and Kokolus was unable to salvage a field goal. Near the end of the first period Curry elected to throw while being rushed heavily and laid the ball right in the hands of defensive back Craig demons, who ran the ball back to the Iowa 46. Three running plays left the Hawkeyes inches away from a first down and Quarterback Frank Sunderman decided to gamble. He barged up the middle to get the first down with a couple yards to spare only to have the officials penalize Iowa for illegal motion.

Now the Hawkeyes had no alternative but to kick. Iowa managed to go to the dressing room at halftime leading 7-3 behind Sun-derman's passing. He moved the Hawk-eyes 90 yards in the second quarter, getting 80 of those yards on passes to Tight End Don Osby and Flanker Jerry Reardon. Osby caught the touchdown pass on a pitch from the Minnesota 3. Minnesota's Mel Anderson made the most of a pair of field goal opportunities in the second period, hitting from 29 and IAP Wirephotol Fullback Randy Keith of Ohio State straining for Hoosier end zone yesterday in Bloomington, despite tight grasp of Jerry Johnson.

He made it for first touchdown of 27-7 victory over Indiana. BY JOHN HL'SAR ICMcaoe Tribune Press Service) BLOOMINGTON, Oct. 16-Woody Hayes was a little worried that all the talk of Ohio State's injuries would give his defense a built-in alibi if the going got too rough. He should have known better. The Buckeyes, bloody but definitely unbowed, tore apart Indiana's fledgling offensive team today in a 27-7 pounding before 50,815 spectators In Indiana Stadium.

Only one drive was mounted all afternoon by the Hoosiers, who managed to convert just two of 18 third-down plays. And that drive was turned into a Buckeye field goal when fierce tackling forced a fumble. Not Much Progress Indiana, in fact, entered enemy territory only four times, finally scoring on a 21-yard slant by Ken St. Pierre in the third quarter that made it 10-7, Ohio. That was the biggest Hoosier offensive play, altho there was some grumbling about a 35-yard pass from Halfback John Motil to Flanker Alan Dick on the 2-yard line later in the period.

Cornerback Tom Campana and Safety Rick Seifert seemed to have their hands all over the receiver, tho no interference was called. "Just don't ask me about that right now," Indiana Coach John Pont murmured later in the dressing room. "Wait until we see the films." Surprisingly, Pont had no complaint about an interference call against his own team, which helped the Buckeyes sustain their opening drive. "It was a good call," Pont said. "Our man Dan Lintner had a -hand on the other guy's back." The penalty put the Buckeyes on the Indiana 24.

Six plays later, Randy Keith plunged for the first of his pair of touchdowns and Ohio never was headed. Lamka Hurt Again A sputtering offense with quarterback Don Lamka appearing intermittently after his ailing left shoulder was reinjured on the third play made the game seem closer than it was. Oddly, the Buckeyes gained yardage regularly thru the air clearly the best route with Indiana's secondary playing short passes much too loose. Lamka and his fill-in, Greg Hare, combined for 17 of 39 for 263-yards a whopping effort for conservative Ohio. "We don't like to pass that much," Hayes admitted, "And we hope to get back to running normally before long." He had a reason for disappointment, with Ohio State hardly better than the Hoosiers afoot, 121 yards to 91.

Preventing the run was the one good thing Indiana was able to do. Two other first-period drives went awry when the Buckeyes were called for holding and Keith fumbled on the 2-yard line. Moreover, Indiana actually held the Bucks to a trio of three-play- and- punt series in the second quarter while both teams tried to figure out why passes were fluttering so much. Pont later explained the centers were pressing the ball into the wet AstroTurf, soaking one sicie-rmuch like a spitter. Once that was determined, the Hoosiers mounted their sole rush.

Hits His Targets Quarterback Ted McNulty sprayed three passes among Charley Byrnes and Alan Dick and carried twice himself to put the Hoosiers in one of their choking third-down situations on the Ohio State 37. Then, with only 1 yard needed for the first down, McNulty went to the air again and found Dick with a 4-yarder. The receiver fumbled, however, and Stan White recovered on the Buckeye 35. There was only a minute left and Ohio State caught fire Hare finding his receivers wide open on four short passes. That set up Fred Schram's 31-yard field goal to give the Buckeyes a 10-0 halftime lead.

Schram also boomed a 40-yarder after the lone Hoosier touchdown to make it 13-7 and the home forces were determined to come right back. Unfortunately, McNulty was knocked out on a 7-yard keeper. His replacement, Senior Grep Brown, nervously fumbled the handoff on tho next play and Ohio took over on the Hoosier 37. Six plays Inter, Keith plunged 1 yard for Ohio State's clincher. "That was it right there," Pont said.

"We had the momentum, but we fumbled it away. We never were much gcod after that." Ohio's final score came on a 25-yard romp by Lamka when the Hoosiers failed to ignite a desperation drive and yielded the ball on downs. With 47 seconds left on the clock, Lamka waltzed thru the beaten foes. Pont said Indiana lost the game on the line particularly in those futile third-down plays. "That's the biggest play in football," he said.

"It's a matter of who wants it more. Here it was not a case of selection, but a case of execution." John Debbout, a senior Indiana defensive tackle from Glenview, 111., suffered the game's only serious injury a broken arm. TRIBUTE Staff Photos by Ed Feney to Tom who had the ball jarred from his hands on the Notre Dame 1-yard line by Tar Heel Defensive Back Richard Stilley. Carthage Tops Millikin and Stays Unbeaten BY MIKE CONKLIN IChicevt) Tribune Press Sertlca) KENOSHA. Oct.

16 Carthage College ran its football record to 5-0 for the season here today with a convincing 34-7 victory over Millikin. The outcome gave Coach Art Keller's Red men a 4-0 record in the College Conference of Illinois-Wisconsin, giving them sole possession of first place. The victory also extended an undefeated streak to 19 games in the league and came before a homecoming crowd of 3,500 fans, including Chicago Bears Owner George Halas. And even Halas, who was on hand to be honored at half time for his contributions to football, had to be impressed. After a slow start that saw neither team score in the first quarter, Carthage blitzed the Big Blue for 20 points in the second period and got the remaining 14 in the third.

The winnprs rolled up 25 first downs and doubled their opponents yardage. The Carthage offensive machine was a three-man show. Quarterback Craig Deaton and Halfback Tom Holt figured in three touchdowns apiece, while Halfback Curt Whipple shook off injuries that had plagued him most of the season to lead the game's rushers with 135 yards in 27 attempts. Holt, who also had 119 yards in 23 carries, scored his first two touchdowns within two minutes of each other early in the second quarter. Both were on short runs.

The first 6-pointer capped a 40-yard drive after the Carthage defense stopped a Millikin run cold on a fourth down and one yard situation. Keller called it the "turning point" of the game and it took his Redmen only three plays before Holt ran over from the three yard line. Just two minutes later, after Carthage's Dave Dorak intercepted a Big- Blue pass, Holt capped another short drive with a six-yard run to score. Deaton then got into the scoring act with just 40 seconds left in the half. The 6-0, 180-pound senior teamed with Holt on a 13-yard touchdown pass.

The play' capped a 36-yard drive in six plays following a Big Blue punt. Deaton was just beginning to warm up, tho, as he came back to hurl two more touchdown strikes in the next period to finish the day with eight completions in 13 attempts for 143 yards. His final two scoring passes were a four-yarder to Split End Fritz Richter and a 35-yarder to Back Dave Hanson. Millikin, now 2-3 for the season, got a token touchdown with one minute left in the game on an 11-yard run by Running Back Bob Henry. The final touchdown, plus five receptions and 109 yards by Sophomore Split End Chris Andriano, were about the only solace for losing Coach Skip Mathleson.

On the other hand, the victoy was particularly sweet for Keller. In 1968, Millikin was the last C. C. I. W.
