PAG1 OXXBEN THE GETTYSBURG TIMES, THURSDAY, OCTOBER DON 0. MfAM, fpoftt Edttor fhom Ext. 17 Bolts Only Team In Action Friday, Hosting Camp Hill In Anniversary Game While Others Play Saturday After three county schools became victims of upsets during the past several weeks in the Blue Mountain Football League, it is certain the football staffs and their squads will be wary of all opponents the rest of the way, beginning this weekend. The Thunderbolts meet Camp Hill's improving outfit at Memorial Field, Littlestown, in a Blue Mountain game. The contest, final home affair for the Bolts, has been designated for the observance of 25 years of varsity football.

Gettysburg takes on Big Spring, surprise victor over Littlestown last Saturday, in a BML game at Newville Saturday evening at 8. Biglerville, safely past Scotland and now tied for first place in the BML, opposes troublesome Susquenita on the latter's field Saturday at 1:30. Bermudian Springs also has a Saturday afternoon engagement, meeting St. Francis Prep of Spring Grove at York Springs at 2. Delone Catholic travels to Lebanon to meet Lebanon Catholic in a nonleague scrap Saturday evening at 8.

GETTYSBURG AT BIG SPRING The Warriors have a string of five victories over the Bulldogs and if they are to extend the skein they will have to come up with a top-notch performance. That Big Spring has improved tremendously recently can be attested to by Littlestown who were stunned by the Bulldogs last week. Coach Leo Ward of the Warriors saw the game and said he was amazed at the speed of file Big Spring backs on their sweeps as well as by the blocking. He tabbed Pete Tuckey and Dave Nickel as a fine pair of ball- toters which makes the team one not to be taken lightly. Having escaped without injuries last week, the Warriors will undoubtedly go with their regular starting array.

Ward indicated Andy Crouse will see more action as a split end and wide receiver. Tom Crouse, halfback, was selected as last week's player of the week. He tallied two touchdowns, carried for 103 yards, turned in fine offensive blocking and aided on nine tackles. Gettysburg holds a 6-3 lead in the series and won handily last year 28-0. CAMP HELL AT LITTLESTOWN Winners of three of their last four games, the revived Camp Hill Lions will provide keen opposition for the Bolts.

Littlestown's 6-0 win last year is the only victory in the brief four-game series but all games have been exceedingly close and neither team has managed mors than one touchdown in the last three battles when the losers were victims of single mistakes "We played our worst game of the year while Big Spring played its best," summed up Coach George Shue following the jolt last week. "Camp Hill is improving by leaps and bounds and we are expecting the usua' tight game." he added on commenting on the coming game. Mike Lippy, who missed the first three periods Saturday due to a leg injury, is expected to be back at his starting quarterback slot Doug Murren, tackle: Chris Bovd. center, and Brad Hostetter. halfback, are nursing bruises but should be Friday right.

Three Biglerville players are recovering from minor injuries suffered last week but all are expected to be ready. Mike Haas and Dave Gorman, quarterbacks, collided in midair on a defensive play near the end of the first half with the former suffering a bone bruise and the latter a muscle pull. John Slaybaugh, tackle, injured his hand. Dave Sterner, end, was cited for his fine defensive play in last week's win over Scotland.

He made on tackle, assisted on 10 others, recoverd a fumble and blocked a pass, ST. FRANCIS PREP AT BERMUDIAN The Bermudian Eagles, forced to play without the services of star running back Dennis Trostle who suffered a fractured collarbone in the victory over the Kennard-Dale Rams last week, anticipated another hard-fought game with the St. Francis Prep- sters from Spring Grove. It pits the Eagles, with a 4-2-1 record, against a comparatively young-but-improving i which has won only one of five battles this year. The long victory was over Carson Long 14-0 after an initial 23-0 defeat at the hands of Francis Scott Key.

Since then St. Francis lost to Kennard-Dale 25-12, North Carroll 42-0 and Greencastle 46-6, a team which Bermudian must play next week. The series between the two schools stands 5-3 in Bermudian's favor, including a 26-0 win last year. Four Eagle starters, linemen Mike Aiello. Randy Ttate, end Jack Helman and tailback Bob Spertzel.

may see only limited action depending upon game conditions, says Head Coach Jerry Soltis. His lineup last week against Kennard-Dale was liberally spruced with underclassmen as the game progressed, and the coach has been generally pleased with the team's development as one of the most potent scoring outfits in the county as well as a fine defensive outfit. Soltis was particularly impressed with the pass receiving of Sophomore Dennis Black who ran excellent patterns in com- ipletely demoralizing the opponent's secondary for three touchdowns last week. Brad Wenger adjusted well to the fullback roll, racking up tough yardage through the middle of the line.

Ayers Paced Bullet Frosh In 2-2 Year Mike Ayres.

a 183-pound running back from Penns Grove, N.J., emerged as the leading rusher and scorer on Gettysburg College's freshman football team. The Little Bullets have completed their season with a 2-2 record. Ayers, who started out of the flanker slot, quickly moved to a running back because of his tremendous speed. He carried 47 times for 248 yards and scored five touchdowns for 30 points. He was also among the leaders in pass receptions and kickoff returns.

He pulled down 10 aerials for 168 yards and returned three kickoffs for 30 yards. Herb Clinton, another quick, solid 180-pounder from Baltimore, was a close second in the rushing department. He carried 24 times for 247 yards for an amazing 10.3 yards per carry. The former Northern High ace led the team in punt returns with 12 for 103 yards and kickoff returns with four for 65 yards. During the season he scored three TDs for 18 points.

Ken Heath, 173, from Croydan, quarterbacked the club through the four-game schedule He landed 34 of 69 passes for 609 yards. He fired three touchdown strikes, but had nine of his tosses intercepted. The leading receiver on the team was split end Ron Iqnatuk, 175, Woodlyn. He caught 16 passes for 343 yards and one TD. Dave Van Hise, Hightstown, N.J., and Joe Duffey, West Roxbury, paced the club in interceptions and punting, respectively.

Van Hise stole three opposing passes for returns of sis yards. Duffey did all the team's punting, booting 13 times for a 33.9 average. Dave Whisonant, Moorestown, N.J., not only was the team's starting center, but did all the place kicking. He connected on six of 10 placements for a total of six points. Harriers In 8th Defeat Capturing the first four spots, the Lehigh cross country team posted a 16-41 decision over Gettysburg's Bullets here Wednesday Karl Dieter took all individual honors as he paced the Engineers with a time of 27:25.5.

Gettysburg's Scott Lecrone crossed the finish line fifth in 27:53. There were several nip- tend-tuck battles through the race, but the Engineers possessed too much strength among the early finishers Gettysburg also ran without the services of its ace freshman.

Baltimore's hard-driving fullback, Norm Bulaich, tops the American Football Conference--and all of pro football--in rushing with 503 yards in just 77 carries, a 6.5 average. Another power runner, Steve Owens of Detroit, tops the National Football Conference with 484 yards.

The former Heisman Trophy winner from Oklahoma has carried the ball 106 times for a 4.6 average. NO SPEED MERCHANT In fact, there's not a single speed merchant among the leaders in either conference. Larry Csonka of Miami, Marv Hubbard of Oakland and Jim Kiick of Miami trail Bulaich in the AFC. while Larry Brown of Washington and Ken Williard of San Francisco rank behind in the NFC. Dallas' Roger Staubach replaced Detroit's Greg Landry as the statistical passing leader in the NFC this week, while Len Dawson of Kansas City replaced Miami's Bob Griese in the AFC.

Rookie Bill Parks of San Diego paces the AFC in receiving with 29 catches, two more than Kansas City's Otis Taylor. In the XFC.

Canadiens In Victory Over Boston Bruins By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS We did it before and we can do it again. The Montreal Canadiens may have chanted that as they took the ice against Boston in the a i a Hockey League Wednesday night and went on to whip the Bruins 5-2. It was the first meeting between the clubs since the underdog Canadiens upset the favored Bruins in the Stanley Cup playoffs last season and went on to win the coveted Cup themselves. Three second-period goals by Frank Mahovlich, Henri Richard and Guy Lapointe put the Canadiens ahead by 4-0 and made things easy. By winning, they moved into second place behind the New York Rangers in the NHL East.

OTHER RESULTS The Rangers routed Detroit 74, California whipped Pittsburgh 6-4, Minnesota shaded St. Louis 2-1, Buffalo edged Los Angeles 3-2 and Toronto-Vancouver played a scoreless tie in the other NHL contests. Lapointe scored again for Montreal in the third period making it his second two-goal game in the league. "I had one last season against Buffalo," he recalled "but getting two against Boston is more satisfying." Rejean Houle, who observed his 22nd birthday last Monday, tallied Montreal's first goal in the opening period and drew praise from Scotty Bowman, the Canadiens' coach. "Houle made the switch from right to left wing like a real pro," Bowman said.

Goals by Wayne Cashman and Phil Esposito pulled the Bruins within 4-2 and Boston coach Tom Johnson said "I thought we'd come along from there, but we didn't." G-Burg Tops Diplomats To Snap Streak Coming up with two goals in the final period, Gettysburg College's soccer team snapped a six-game losing streak by blanking Franklin and Marshall 2-0 Wednesday afternoon in Lancaster. After the first unit failed to put on any kind of an offensive threat in the first half, Coach Bob Smith cleared his bench and it was the reserves who went to work, especially in the fourth quarter. Jay Fuggiti was the first to score when he took a pass from Rich Hoshino with only seven minutes left in the game. With one minute left to play, the Bullets iced the decision when Charlie Krula's shot assisted by Gary Trumpower. Keith Fisher worked the entire game in the nets for Gettysburg, coming up with 16 saves.

Al Ingraham pulled down 21 saves for the Dips. Gettysburg is now 2-7-1 on the year and will entertain Susquehanna on Saturday. Gettysburg 0 0 0 2--2 F. and 0 0 0 0-0 Goals: Gettysburg Jay Fuggiti, Charlie Krula. Saves: Keith Fisher, 16; Ingraham, FM, 21.

Bullets Will Hunt For Owls Against South Connecticut State At 1:30 On Saturday Eagles Acquire Running Back PHILADELPHIA (AP) The Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League announced the acquisition of running back Tony Baker from the New Orleans Saints Wednesday for an undisclosed future draft choice. Baker, 26, has carried the ball 9 times for 125 yards and a 4.3 average for the Saints this season. He also lias caught 6 passes for 44 yards and 1 touchdown. The 225-pound Baker, a four- year veteran out of Iowa State University, Ms best season in 1969 when he gained 642 yards and caught 34 passes and was selected for the annual Pro Bowl game. The Eagles were expected to make room for Baker on roster by placing tight end Gary Ballman on the injured reserve list.

Ballman banged up a knee October 30 couldn't be a more suitable time to go hunting "owls." Barring any interference from spooks and goblins, Gettysburg's Bullets are "loaded" and ready to fire when Southern Connecticut State uncrates its Owls in Musselman Stadium Saturday at 1:30 for the first meeting of the two grid forces. Southern Connecticut will come into the contest with a 1-4 record while Gettysburg is half a shade better at 1-4-1. The first Owl the Bullets should spot will be Gordon Taylor, a 6', 190-pound fullback who was last year's rushing leader with 1,002 yards on 198 carries. A pre-season injury has kept the running ace from repeating his junior year performance. However, in the last couple of games he has carried 40 times for 141 yards for a 3.5 average.

Running with Taylor in the backfield will be Jim Harrison, 160. However, Larry Kane, 170, will probably see more action than Harrison. Kane is the leading rusher with 48 carries for 167 yards. EXPECT AERIALS From the rushing statistics it is presumed that Southern Connecticut will pass quite a bit more than it runs. "They will use three quarterbacks and throw the ball all over the place," Gettysburg defensive coach Ray Reider said after seeing the Owls lose to Montclair State last week.

"They use many different formations and it might be a little difficult to put up a good, consistent defense against them." Senior Chris Palmer will get the starting quarterback job. but will be followed quickly by last Sunday and may have to undergo surgery. Baker gives the Eagles seven running backs. Tony Jaskot and freshman Paul Jarvis. Palmer has hit on II of 34 aerials for 400 yards while Jaskot has connected on 48 of 99 for 672 yards.

The two have combined for nine touchdowns and eight interceptions. The chief receiver is wingback Walt Shelton. He has pulled down 27 passes for 538 yards and eix TDs. Shelton is the school's all-time pass-receiving leader. He is also currently leading the team scoring with 38 points.

The Owls' offensive line will average 6', 204-pounds from tackle, to tackle. Jim McKiernan, a junior tackle, is the biggest lineman at 230. The smallest man on the offensive unit is split end Steve Comkowycz, a 135-pound senior. 5-3 DEFENSE This will mark one of the few times this year Gettysburg will face a 5-3 defense. Most of the Bullet's opponents have adopted the 4-3 and 4-4.

The Owls utilize a monster or rover in the person of Ken Stepanik, a 200- pound junior who is very quick. The two linebackers working with Stepanik are Dave Wilda, a 195-pound senior and sophomore Tom Lightfoot, 185. Southern Connecticut's front five will average just under 6' and weight 203-pounds. The three deep men are quick, have experience and do a good job on pass defense. They include Bob Szymaszek, John Meehan and Roger Pulito.

Now in his sixth season at the Southern Connecticut helm, coach Harry Shay has posted a 22-21-2 record over the past five years including a 5-3-1 slate a year ago. So far this year, the Owls have defeated Glasfi- boro while losing to Clarion State, Springfield, Bridgeport and Montclair. GRAND OPENING TIRE CENTER Junction Route 15 and IS Gettysburg R. 2, Pa.
