Jl Sunday Herald-Times September 9, 1984 U2 Duke wins Wells holds Ragsdale off in 5-kilometer ByGARYGOSCH SaBdiyHtraMTMM After the way Salems Brady Wells, 23, and Bedford's Maurice Ragsdale, 34, ran in the United Way 5-kilometer race in Bedford Saturday, Captain Purples probably glad he didnt show up. The local good Samaritan had reportedly pre-entered the race, but would have been been hard pressed to have beaten two of south central Indianas better runners, who ran very respectable tunes for the hilly 3.1-mile course. WELLS, the cross-country coach at Salem High School, edged Ragsdale out for top honors with a time of 15:59. Ragsdale clocked a 16:02 and placed second. Im pleased with that time for this course, said the former Hanover College running ace.

This is a very challenging course and I wouldnt have been able to run the kind of time I did without the help of Maurice and Larry Moffatt. They both helped me quited a bit." Ragsdale and Moffatt led the 62-entrant field through the mile mark in 5 04. Wells was third in 5.06. I didnt take the lead until we made the turn and started heading back, said Wells. That was a little before the 2-mile mark.

I went through! 2 miles in 10:15 and had a slight lead over Ragsdale at that point. Moffatt hafl faded back a little ways. I ALMOST caught him at the end, said Ragsdale. 1 was closing fast. I wish I would have stayed with hime the whole way because then maybe 1 could have beaten him.

I can complain though because I ran well. It was Wellss second road-race victory in Bedford this year. In April, he won the Times-Mail Centennial Fitness Challenge Five-Kilometer Race. Moffatt, 29, Mitchell, wound up third in 16.40. Rounding out the top 10 were: 4.

Duke killed the clock with three running plays. THE INTERCEPTION was the only one Bradley threw in a 16-for-30 night that produced 247 yards. Eight of the completions went to Kenebrew, his only experienced receiver. Their linkup as good (or 155 yards. However, the momentum that died early for Indiana couldnt be regained as the Hoosiers repeatedly hurt themselves with mistakes, including a series of late-game holding calls.

You work and you play again and you keep going at what you're doing. They were handling us at times, and we have to get better 1 didn't expect it to be easy.

THE FINAL CRUSHER for the Hoosiers came on the only interception second-year quarterback Steve Bradley threw in his 30 opening-night passes It gave Duke the football with a minute left and Indiana too short on time outs to do anything but watch time tick away Bradley threw for split end Leonard kenebrew. "They were giving us Kenebrew most of the night so we took him, Mallory said. Maybe we went to him a little too much That one got plucked there at the end There's no excuse for any Interception you can't force it to him. But they knew what we had to do. Every body knew had to throw.

We're just going to bust our butts and try to come back next week. That the only ay 1 know to do it. a I yard plunge by Julius Grantham, Duke's top rusher with 141 ards. The interception for a touchdown got to me a little bit, Sally said I missed the tackle near the goal line i so I realty ui a hole. An interception is one thing, but when you throw one lor a touchdown, that's just disastrous.

SALLY SAID he never saw Sigler coming on the interception play, even though be had lots of tune to throw. "Yeah, but that was after I ducked about lour or five hostile." he said You get back in the pocket and try H. If Id have seen him coming. I wouldn't have thrown right to him." Asked how he felt, finally getting some ptaymg time. Salty as honest Sore.

Duke scored 10 points in the last six minutes Saturday night to pull out a 31-24 victory and spoil opening night tor new Indiana football coach Bill Mallory. The Hoosiers never trailed till Duke running back Julius Grantham squeezed across from the 1 with 1.33 to play.

BEFORE THAT: Indiana took a 14-0 before Duke managed even a first down, but the whole lead was gone by halftime. Senior safety Chris Sigler ran an interception back 48 yards for the first touchdown of his collegiate career and a 21-14 Indiana lead. Duke got it back when the Hoosiers fumbled on an option play and turned possession over at the Indiana 24. Senior Doug Smith kicked a 48-yard field goal, second-longest of his ifoosier career, for a 24-21 lead early in the fourth quarter. Indiana got the ball back and drove to a first down at the Duke 15 but lost the ball on dow ns at the Blue Devil 6 ONLY 8.51 REMAINED when Duke took the football in such unpromising circumstances.

The Blue Devils rode non-starter Ron Sally's passing to a 69-yard march that produced a tying field goal by Ken Harperwith5.191eft. The final swing of momentum to Duke came hen Indiana couldn't get the kickoff returned any farther than its own 14. Things got worse from there. On third-and-10, quarterback Steve Bradley hit split end Leonard Kenebrew for an apparent first down at the Indiana 32. The play as iped out by a holding call that backed the Hoosiers to their 7.

ONE DOWN LATER, punter Chuck Razmic was kicking out of the Indiana end zone. Duke got possession at its 40 and gave the ball to Grantham seven straight times to get the game-winning score. Indiana had one last chance, but it died after Bradley had taken the Hoosiers into Duke territory On first because running back Julius Grantham was playing with a freshly healed hand fracture and might not have been ready to handle pitches. MALLORYS OWN CLUB went away from it after a disaster. Ahead 21-14 and looking about to take command, Indiana went with the option on second down at its 19 Bradley kept the ball and sliced upficld (or first-down yardage, but on the way, the ball slipped out of his hands and Duke recovered at the Hoosier 24 Like the kickoff return, it was a play that gave the Blue Devils a reviving boost That one we fumbled we didnt come back to it the option play after that.

Mallory said The things we were going to were what they were giving us. We started out pretty well on offense and on defense, too. But we were so gosh-damed erratic. At limes, we were doing some things, but we lacked the overall consistency and soundness to win this game. That's what hurts.

1 felt these were two clubs that were evenly matched. I dont want to take anything away from Duke, but we beat ourselves. MALLORY OFFERED no quick cures He didn't last through a later start against South Carolina, giving way to Bennett. He admitted there was a touch of irony in his coming off the bench to replace a faltering QB. But Sally didn decide last Christmas to return for a fifth year to sit on the bench again He wants to play and he wants towm.

"As long as we wtn. I'm comfortable. Sally said. II be uncomfortable if we lose HE, LIKE SLOAN as comfortable late Saturday night Winning has a way of turning big mistakes into things lo laugh about later. At the 8 18 mark of the third quarter.

Sally drove Duke 40 yards tor the winning score. DURHAM, C. Bill Mallory was trying for his 100th coaching victory in the first game of Indiana's 100th football season. Ail that was on Mallory's mind Saturday night, however, was winning once, getting a new program off to a positive start.

And all that he could see in his mind as he replayed the game late Saturday night were the mistakes that kept that victory No. 1, No. 100, hatever from happening. All losses are painful but this was a really painful one, Mallory said after Duke, never ahead in the game's first 58 minutes, slipped away with a 31-24 victory. THE STAPLES that Mallory is determined to build into Indiana football defense, a running game, consistently effective play made an illusory debut before disappearing under a crushing avalanche of errors.

The 23.500 fans in Dukes Wallace Wade Stadium felt the game swung when second-year Blue Devil coach Steve Sloan went to senior quarterback Ron Sally in the second quarter; when senior tailback Julius Grantham, shelved by a broken hand much of the pre-season, came off the bench to sting the Hoosiers for a career-high 141 yards. fourth-quarter lead, symbolized the painful Mallory memories. On the first, Sally kept the Devils alive by completing a 7-yard, third-and-5 pass from his 12. After that march blossomed into a game-tying field goal, Indiana faced a possession play third-and-10 at its 14 Quarterback Steve Bradley completed an 18-yard pass to Len Kenebrew, but a holding penalty killed the gain By the time the Hoosiers got the ball back, they were behind for the first time, they had only one time out left and they were racing the clock, just 1. 26 to go.

SALLY AND DUKE had the ball deep In their territory because Indiana had missed on a tcurth-down try at the Blue Devil 7. We should have made that first down down there. Mallory said Then we let them move the ball out of there. Then we come out of there with a pass and lose it to a penalty. It was like youre coming up lor air and dont let yourself get any air.

We really got hit by penalties. What can I say? He had penalties that were really costly. Mallory expected the option play to be considerably more prominent than it was. on both sides. Duke put it away for the evening, he figured.

INI NL at. cocuasus EAST ass C- Mil aa 1 14 Sally's the answer to Duke's question mark Mallory saw it start to disappear before Sally ever touched the ball, before Duke got its first first down. WHEN INDIANA still was in a celebrating mood after opening a 14-0 second-quarter lead, Duke's Mike Atkinson scooted up the sidelines for 40 yards on a kickoff return. It was the first positive development of the night for the home club, and Mallory knew what it meant. When you get 'em down like that, ouve gotta knock them out, tallory said.

We didn't do it That kickoff return gave them life. Duke did get big lifts from Sally and Grantham after that, but repeated Ifoosier mistakes kept Indiana from surviving the two Duke stars best TWO THIRD-DOWN PLAYS, after Indiana had taken a 24-21 might. I think we can execute better at quarterback. Our receivers kind of covered up for us and made some outstanding catches. He have a long way to go lo Improve but It certainty Is good to be trying to improve when you vc won a game.

SALLY ALSO concentrated on his mistakes, saying his battle with Drew Walston for play mg time is far from deetded. I'll have to wait and see the film." Sally said. 1 scare coach Sloan a lot. I scare him to death, as a matter of fact I don't know bow much more be can lake of this.

but fifth-year senior Ron Sally went a long way Saturday night toward answering the question Blue Devil fans have asked the entire pre-season: Who will play quarterback A B. After Bennett, as in Ben Bennett, the four-year Duke starter who left as the all-time NCAA passing leader last year? SALLY CAME OFF the bench to rally Duke to Its 31-24 victory over Indiana la the first night game played under perm ant lights at Wallace ade Stadium. Bid both he and head coach Steve Sloan played down Sally's performance, which included two touchdown passes in an ll-for-19 evening after the Devils had fallen behind early. 14-.
