But High coach Frank Chiodo thinks he has one in senior Tom Thetard, a 6 foot 2 inch, 190-pound end. According to Chiodo, if Thetard wants to play in the big time he can do so. Chiodo has coached another end in field general, wound up as the game's top rusher with 58 yards and a touchdown from 10 carries. He also completed five of 11 passes for 88 yards and a touchdown.

The victory allows ISU to carry an eight-game undefeated string into its homecoming fray Saturday. ILLINOIS STATE E-James, Olson, Kriest. Williams, Nw-brough, Kruse; Zimmerman, Bicrn-stad. Nelson, Bellfuss; Court, Guen-ther. Sturgeon, Rogers; Parrilll, Min-ser, Homoly, Battista.

ISU hadn't been able to win over Western at Macomb since 1947.

The victory also marked only the second time since 1950 that the' Redbirds have prevailed over the Leathernecks. The triumph allowed Coach Larry Bitcon's squad to up its Interstate Conference record to 2-0, and its season mark to 6-0. This Saturday the Redbirds face the challenge of IIAC foe Central Michigan at Hancock Field during a homecoming contest. Now 0-5 Western, which won the total offensive yardage race by out-gaining the invaders, 343-287, saw its season record drop to 0-5 and a 0-2 IIAC mark much to the dismay of the highly-partial homecoming gathering. "We're sure glad to get this one over," was Bitcon's modest comment following the haid-fodght action.

"It was a key game for us, and it certainly wasn't an easy victory." Senior running back Clarence Mokszycki scored two ISU touchdowns, the first on a 12-yard pass play from quarterback Mike Phillips with four minutes, 35 seconds left in the quarter, and the secund on a two-yard plunge with 11:19 remaining in the game. Phillips Sweeps End Phillips put the Redbirds ahead with a 14-yard end sweep at 9:47 of the opening stanza. Jerry Kinnikin split me uprights for all three conversions. Sandwiched between Phillips' opening counter and Mokszy-cki's first six-pointer, Western's Mike Lunt rammed into pay-dirt from two-and-a-half yards out at 6:54 of the second period to knot the tally at 7-7. With only 19 seconds left in Thetard's class and he went on to play quite a bit at Syracuse.

Red Laffey played end for Chiodo at St. Patrick High School in Kankakee before going to Syracuse. "He wasn't as strong as Thetard but -he could block and catch the pass as Ifgged the ISU sefindary for the six points with 8:59 remaining. Mag.i'haes booted both cf WIU's PA Is.

Scoreless Third Period A scoreless third period was followed by Mokszjrki's second touchdown, uppirg the difference to 21-10.

The scoring was not over yet. After the return kick, Western marched from its own line to paydirt on four pbys. Capping the drive was a 54-yard pass from senior quarterback Frank Yacrii.o to junior halfback John Pecaro. He out- wen," said Chiodo. "Thetard is very strong," said Chiodo.

I i I f- a- -iiX': 't'V i. it9 By Steve Adams Pantagraph Sports Writer CHICAGO Illinois Wesleyan University's alert defense stunned North Park's talented quarterback Bruce Swanson with six pass interceptions as the fired-up Titans kept their College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin title hopes very much alive with a 28-19 victory over the Vikings here Saturday afternoon. Wesleyan pilfered seven North Park aerials altogether in rolling to their third CCIW triumph in four decisions. The Titans, who must still face league-leading and unbeaten Carroll, in addition to North Central, remain in third place in the conference.

Carroll and Carthage, both of which won Saturday, are 3-0. Lead 28-7 at Half IWU's brisk defensive attack stoked the furnace for the Titans' offensive guns which built a 28-7 halftime lead. Wesleyan had two touchdowns on the scoreboard within a five-minute span of the first quarter and rifled the Vikings with two more touchdowns within two minutes of the second stanza. Pass interceptions by freshmen Bob Linder and Mike IWU's next score five minutes later, as hard-running John Thome used a trap play up the middle to run 46 yards for the touchdown. Dewar Scores Krogh's theft came at the Wesleyan 25 with a return to the Viking 29.

Pftlffer gained to the seven where quarterback Randy Dewar skirted right end for the touchdown. Within two minutes, the Titans had banged the end zone again. Strachan snared a Swanson pass at the Wesleyan 20 and carried it home to make it 28-7 at the half. Freshman Bill Farrar kicked all four extra points for the Titans. Key Play Larson looked to rua as one of the game's key plays.

After Wesleyan hit with the Linder interception. Thome stung the Vikings in a hurry to take advantage. "It was a beauty," said Larson. "He started up the middle and just veered to the right to outrun the defense. It takes those kind of plays." ILLINOIS WESLEYAN B-Cavitf, Davdif.

get up to 210 pounds quick." Thetard plays offense and defense for the Pioneers but Chiodo thinks Tom would be better on defense in college. "He's a heck of a blocker but I don't think he has the speed to be a pass receiver in John Wright's (Illinois) class. He has good hands but he would have to work awful hard to be able to break away for a pass on a one-and-one situation." Thetard is used as a rover back and an end in High's defense. "He always goes to the strong side, to their strength," explained Chiodo. "He can be up on the line or out on the flank for pass defense.

"He's a good tackier. He hits hard. We like the other team to run at him." Illinois coach Jim Valek, who played high school football with Chiodo at Joliet, is very interested in Thetard. "I wrote Jim about Tom when Valek was an assistant at West Point," said Chiodo. "This was when Tom was a sophomore and I could see that he was going to be a good one.

"Of course, West Point is really interested as a result and they're really rushing him. They had a scout stop by this season. "Michigan is very interested." However, Tom hasn't expressed preference for a large or small school. Tom's father Ed attended Illinois Wesleyan and was a member of the last IWU basketball team to defeat Bradley. That was during the 1942-43 season.

"Wesleyan likes Tom a lot," said Chiodo. "Of course, they're thinking of him for two sports (basketball), A small school like that has to." An Educational Trip Spending your vacation at a woman's college can be educational. For instance, did you know the women at Temple Buell College in Denver consume more peanut butter than do the students at any other area school? If the dining hall meals don't appeal, they can make a peanut butter sandwich. And if your daughter doesn't like peanut butter, she waits until you arrive for Parents Weekend and then has you take her out to eat at plush places like the Brown Palace Hotel in Denver. Not only did I miss last week's Minnesota-Illinois game but I arrived back in Bloom-ington with four dollars.

Dr. Eugene Dawson, Temple Buell president, says that Parents Weekend was invented so that parents could check up on their daughters without being called square. But the girls we met didn't need checking on. They seem to be in command of every situation. Never have I seen so many outgoing, well-groomed, confident young women in one setting.

Even cadets from the nearby Air Force Academy don't faze them. They refer to the cadets as "Zoomies." Our daughter Jamie has a roommate from Oklahoma City. The others in her four-woman suite are from Ohio and Missouri. Temple Buell draws its 1,100 students from 49 states (South Carolina isn't represented) and 15 foreign nations. Here's an example of how the girls operate.

One night Jamie and her suite-mates were baking cookies in the kitchen of their dorm. They discovered they didn't have a measuring cup. So Sharon the girl from Ohio went across the street in back of the dorm to the president's home. She borrowed a measuring cup from Dr. Dawson's wife.

While in Colorado, we also visited Denver University where Bloomington High School graduates Sally Stephenson and Brenda Ostling are freshmen. Sharon O'Brien, a Normal Community grad, is also a freshman at Denver and lives in the same dorm. Also had a long talk with Bill Patterson, the former Wesleyan basketball and baseball star who now lives in Englewood, a suburb of Denver. Bill teaches and coaches on the junior high school level. Bill enjoys his work and has been impressed by the calibre of high school football in Colorado.

"It is much better than I expected," admitted Bill. "It compares favorably with Illinois." No Gain Here Terry Likens (on ground) starts to haul down Lubbs. In background is ISU back Art Nebrough. The Redbirds beat Western, 21-17. Western Illinois end Dean Lubbs comes up empty-handed as the ball sails away in an incomplete pass from quarterbrrk Doug Woolman.

Illinois State defender Score by Ouartert Illinois Wesleyan North Park I 2 4 T'l 14 a ii 0 7 Strachan and veteran Ron Krogh led to three of Wesley-an's four touchdowns. Zora Intercepts Twice Krogh also had another one, while safety Bill Zora stole two and sophomore Nels Calvert, who didn't play high school football, had one. "Let's face it," commented Wesleyan head coach Don Larson, "our defensive secondary played its best game of the year." "We did a good job against Swanson. He's a rugged competitor." 260 Yards Passing Prior to Saturday's game, the Titans had but one interception in five games. Swanson, who had netted 834 yards with 68 completions in five games, threw for 260 yards and two touchdowns against the Titans.

One of the nation's leading punters with a 45-yard average, Swanson completed 21 ol 41 passes. His leading pass receiver, speedy sophomore Man Williams, snagged six passes for 104 yards and a touchdown, before being injured. Williams Out Williams counted the Vikings' first touchdown on a 49-yard pass play, but was hit with eight minutes to go in the first half and helped off the field with an injury to his right ankle. Swanson then turned to burly end Paul Zaeske who ended with eight catches for 116 yards and a touchdown. Wesleyan's superb first-half performance turned to a nightmare in the final two quarters.

The Titans fumbled nine times and lost three of them. Two of the fumbles led to North Park touchdowns. 'Real Mess' "It was a real mess," moaned Larson. "If we hadn't fumbled in the second hall, we would have really killed 'em." W'esleyan was "killing 'em" in that first half as experienced halfback Bill Pfeiffer scored first with 8:40 remaining in the first quarter, Linder'i interception set up Illinois Wesleyan Scoring TD Pfeiffer (1 yd. run); Thcrne (46 vd.
