Larry Coyer, Iowa's new defensive coordinator and secondary coach, was quoted on something the other day that will remind you of three years ago.

Sw: Dubuque Senior at Jeff Wr: Iowa City at Jeff You begin to get an idea of the pressures -involved in major-college football when you hear that the NCAA and Big Eight punishment of Oklahoma may have cost the Big Eight as much as $2 million. Not only are the Sooners likely to miss two fat post-season bowl jackpots, but they also will be banned from having games on national or regional TV. The $2 million figure seems a bit inflated, but even a lousy million is a pretty good chunk in these good old days.

to St: Louis, Krepfle to Philadelphia and Stevenson to Miami. LaSalle Coach Duane Kramer backfield. was obviously pleased. Tt was 13-10 at the quarter "To me, It's just unbelievable a team could give up an average of 38 points a game, which is what happened last year. To say the least, it's going to be a challenge." Hoo-boy! Remember three years ago when Ducky Lewis came here as FXL's defensive coordinator? He was quoted as saying some-, thing like "the days of Iowa's giving up 50 points in a football game are over." In the very first game Iowa was thrashed by Ohio State 52-21 and later lost to Michigan 63-7.

Golly, maybe Bob Commirigs hid the Hawks' 1974 schedule from Larry when he hired him! Should someone tell him the first four foes next fall are Michigan, UCLA, Perm State and Southern California? We haven't met Larry Coyer yet, although we have talked with him on the phone. We've got to nag him about something else he said in Davenport. Larry, you know, comes to Iowa from Bowling Green university. He said he doesn't think it's such a big jump from the Mid-American conference to the Big Ten. He may be right, because the Mid-American has been' a tough league lately.

But then Larry added i "If you check the records, a Mid-American team hasn't lost to a Big Ten team in the past 10 years." Doesn't take long to disprove hat. Just look at Purdue's record. Sure, Purdue lost to Miami of Ohio last fall, and to Bowling Green in 1972. But the Boilermakers edged Ohio U. by 17-0 in 1964, Miami of Ohio by 38-0 in 1965 and Ohio if.

by 42-3 in 1966. Modify that to "seven years," Larry, and we'll see if it will fly.

During his career with the Cyclones, he had 78 receptions for 1,226 yards and ten touchdowns. Krepfle, 6-2 and 220 pounds, Is from Potosi, Wis.

He caught 100 passes for 1.456 yards and a school record 16 touchdowns. He was an All-Big Eight selection as a junior and was on the second team as a -senior. Dual Rib and Tri Rib FRONT Race driver Andretti was hospitalized overnight for The Big Eight people point out how much gumption it took to blow the whistle on Oklahoma, knowing how expensive it would be to the other members. That's commendable. And don't forget how much pressure each school is under to bend the rules in the first place with money like that on the It makes you hope that the NCAA and all conferences will investigate all possible violations and be just as firm with those caught cheating.

Lee Trevino, who flatly says he regards Nicklaus as the world's greatest, claims Nicklaus really wins so often because of the way he handles the par-threes. Iron accuracy and putting are his greatest allies. "If I could play the par-threes all year in even par," adds Trevino, "I would be certain observation after suffering what doctors said were minor injuries when his Indianapolis car smacked the wall during I 11 I tire tests at Ontario Motor Stevenson, 6-5 and 256 pounds, Speedway.
