State 12 Michigan 15 Wisconsin 13 Colorado 7 Second Guesnimj Central Michigan Tips ISU By Jim Barnhart Pantagraph Sports Editor It's been a long time between Intercity and Corn Belt Conference football championships for University High School. Many of its present players were spooning oatmeal all over their bibs the last time the Pioneers won either title.

High last won the Intercity in 1951 and the Corn Belt in 1950. The last High football team to go undefeated and untied was the 1950 aggregation which posted eight victories. High meets Normal Community Fri- day night at Illinois State's Hancock Field with both conference championships at stake. The Pioneers are undefeated and untied in seven games. Normal has won six and has been tied once.

High could win the Corn Belt with a tie Friday since NCHS already has one deadlock against it. According to the coaches whose teams have played High and Normal, this is the year of the Pio -f r' Mike Wells Fmqer-Tip Atfempt through Maksimovicz's but the Chippewas won the game, 19-14. Other Central Michigan players ore Steve Lockman (32), Tom Stark (30), and Bill Sinkule (78). (Pantograph Photos) Central Michigan defensive end Mark Mcksimovicz appears to be doing airborne push-up as he tries to stop Illinois State halfback Clarence Mokszycki (22) in first quarter at Hancock Field Saturday. Mokszycki slipped neers.

Normal and High have had six common opponents. I contacted five of the coaches and four of them cast a solid vote for High. The one dissenter and I won't name any of the coaches to protect the innocent picks Normal because of its outstanding quarterback Mike Wells.

Tefft bulled over from the one yard line with 12:38 left in the first half.

A run for the conversion points was short. But ISU came back. After the ensuing kickoff, ISU had the ball on its own 20. Mike Phillips threw to Guy Homoly at midfield. CMU defensive back Bruce Cameron tipped the ball and Homoly caught it.

Homoly raced on to score. Jerry Kin-ninkin kicked the point after touchdown and it was 12-7. The Redbirds moved ahead with an 11-play, 76-yard march in the third period. ISU stayed on the ground all the way with Phillips circling his own left end and scoring on a 10-yard run. Kinnikin kicked the point after touchdown to make it 14-12 with six seconds left in the third period.

"We had overshifted away from their strength," explained Kramer when asked why ISU was able to move so well on the ground. Bitcon Proud "We went back to a basic defense and started stunting our linebackers more. We were able to contain them the rest of the way for this reason," continued the CMU coach. ISU Coach Larry Bitcon was sad and proud. Sad that he had lost.

Proud of the way his team lost. "I just can't say how proud I am," said Bitcon. "They played their hearts out." But Bitcon doesn't think his club will go downhill now that its streak is broken. "They have too much pride for that." said Bitcon. "They'll bounce back." ILLINOIS STATE James, Olson, Krieg, Williams, Bo-linder, Ziemke; Zimmerman, Biorn-siad.

Oct. 29, 1967 JocA Neo7 Yardstick By Jim Barnhart Pantagraph Sports Editor Central Michigan University was up to its old tricks Saturday.

The Chippewas treated their followers to a 19-14 victory over previously undefeated Illinois State University and a share of the Interstate Conference football championship before a rec-. ord crowd of 18,000 at Hancock Field. Craig Tefft, Central Michigan's galloping halfback, scored on a 29-yard run with 6:38 remaining to spoil ISU's homecoming, something the Chippewas have done with regularity. Central has appeared in six Illinois State homecomings and cashed in a winner every time. 21 Record ISU.

which had won six games and was going for its first IIAC football title since 1950, finishes its conference schedule with a 2-1 record. The Redbirds could still share in the championship if Western Illinois upsets Central Michigan Saturday at Macomb. CMU is 2-0 in the conference and 6-1 for the season. The loss was a heartbreaker for the Redbirds, who came off a 12-0 deficit to take a 14-12 lead in the well played contest. Just when it looked as though ISU had the Chippewas on their knees, a fake punt and a screen pass resurrected Central Michigan hopes.

The result was Tefft's third touchdown. Punt Formation With 8:17 to play. Central Michigan had a fourth down and six yards to go situation on the Illinois Slate 44 yard line. 1 Lyle Teal went back to punt. But the ball was centered to No.

2 quarterback Bob Lardie, who was positioned close to the line of scrimmage. Lardie took off around his own right end and raced to the Redbird 38 for a first down. Then the Redbirds got two breaks. Central's Greg Hoeller, all alone behind the ISU secondary, dropped a pass on the Illinois State five yard line. After the next play, Central was penalized 15 yards for a personal foul.

This put the Chips back on the 45 yard line. Pass Clicks But No. 1 quarterback Gene Gilin threw a screen pass to Tefft and the junior strongboy moved to the ISU 29 yard line. Tom Clevenger was stopped for no gain. Then Tefft cut off the left side of his own line and went all the wav.

With 1:17 to "play, ISU got to the Chippewa 32 yard line but sophomore Buckie Colton, the CMU corner back, tackled ISU's Clarence Mokszycki just as he caught a fourth down screen pass, causing him to drop the ball. Central Michigan coach Roy Kramer said it was the first time his team has used the fake punt this season. Time For Play "They had been dropping their halfbacks back and playing us 100 per cent for the punt," said Kramer. '-We knew they hadn't seen the play so we figured this was the time to use it." Kramer cited the fake punt, the defensive play by Colton, and Tefft's running as the difference. Tefft, who gained 172 yards in 39 carries, had more rushing yardage than the entire ISU team.

"He's not real fast but he's got good balance and can stop and go," said Kramer. Tefft isn't big. He is 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs 180 pounds. Praises ISU "Illinois State has a fine team. It is very sound," said Kramer.

"But we were pleased with our team because we had every reason to die. Everything was going against us until we got that screen pass completed." Central Michigan stepped off to a 6-0 lead with 4:54 left in the first quarter. A wobbly ISU punt, which rolled out of bounds on the Redbird 37, set up ttr score. Nine plays later, Tefft score from two yards out. The kk for the point after touchdov was wide.

An ISU fourth down garni failed, setting up Central Mic. igan's next touchdown. Redbirds had fourth down, a foot to go, and the ball on their own 48 yard line. ISU's Jed Waters was stopped at the line of scrimmage and the Chippewas took over.

Only Wesleyan went away satisfied al-. though the rugged Cardinals from Naperville did cart away a lot of statistics on the bright, cold October afternoon. The Titans bagged the decision, 40 30, which even the oldest IWU football follower claims is a record for combined points scored in one game. Tlie victory. Wesleyan's fourth in five CCIW games, left the Titans in title contention although Carthage's 45-6 victory See picture en B-3 over Carroll Saturday gave the Redmen a solid lock on the conference lead with a 4-0 mark.

The Titans are 5-2 over-all. North Central "is 1-4 in the league and 2-5 over-all. Selbo Shine Wesleyan and Carroll will meet next Saturday at Waukesha, with the winner hoping that North Park or Millikin can derail Carthage. Luther Selbo, a North Central senior who was the runnerup to Steve Laub for CCIW passing honors for two years, established two new marks in the CCIW record book when he completed 33 of 60 forward passes for a total of 388 yards. A team record was also established when the Cardinals completed 34 of 62 heaves.

Selbo threw all but two of the passes, the others being thrown by Terry Snyder. The losers also compiled 25 first downs to the winners' 21 and at onetime in the first quarter, reeled off seven consecutive first downs before the Titans were able to register a gain of 10 yards and it was not until the first play of the second quarter that Wesleyan was able to make the required distance lor a first down, so well did the Cardinals dominate the football. There were many unusual features, and the game actually required 2 hours and 50 minutes for a decision. Even then none of the spectators were certain that the contest was finished since Bob Linder had raced for what appeared to be the seventh touchdown made by the hosts just as the gun exploded, but in this case a clipping penalty nullified his sensational dash of some 60 yards. Pfeiffer Scores Wesleyan stalled an early North Central drive on the 27 and Bill Duncan, who did a good job of punting, got the Titans out of the hole and the Titans were on the way for the first time in the new quarter with a brilliant 39-yard canter by Bill Pfeiffer, who had his finest hour in this affair, placing the ball on the NC nine.

John Thorne, another workhorse in the IWU attack, carted to the four and then went over with 12:37 remaining of the first half. Bill Barrar's placement was good and the Titans enjoyed a 7-0 lead. Jim Hostetler, Wesleyan's senior tackle, saved a touchdown by recovering a NC fumble on the two-yard stripe after the Cards had marched for their 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th first downs of the half. Selbo hit Bill Feind for K2 yards and a TD but Joe Barth, another pass to Thorne, Dewar hit Daydif on an 18-yard pass. The kick was wide this time.

The Naperville contingent refused to quit, however, even in the face of a 40-16 deficit and soon was on the way again to pay dirt. Selbo connecting with Mike Maher for another TD and this time Selbo elected to throw to Bob Corra for a two-pointer on the try. An 18-yard throw to Don North Central counter but the pass on another two-point effort was incomplete. There were only seconds showing on the clock when Linder sprinted 40 yards for what appeared to be another counter but this time, the Titans were charged with clipping, erasing a brilliant effort.

Score by Quarters Wesleyan North Central 1 1 4 Tt a 14 17 1430 High supporters reason: COACH NO High line is fan-tic. It's primarily a senior team and they've been playing together for a few years. Their interior line is magnificent.

"Of course, if High has injuries, it could hurt because Normal does have depth. But man for man, High is better. Jack Neal (U High quarterback) may not be the pass threat Wells is but he can "hurt you running. High makes its breaks and takes advantage of them. Pontiac, Washington, and Clinton all fumbled on their first series.

High got the ball and scored." COACH NO. 2 'Unless Normal takes a look at its winning tradition and rises to the occasion, I think High will win. High is stronger defensively. They come at you offensively. You know primarily they're going to run.

They know you know it. But they dare you to stop them and they run. I think High blocks better too. "I think Normal has just one good receiver in (Glenn) Dicken and I think High can concentrate on him." COACH NO. 3 "The boys told me High beat us more physically.

Frank (U High coach Frank Chiodo) used a lot of clean jerseys against us the second half. He could have run up a bigger score but he didn't. "Normal kept them in there most of the way. Personnel-wise, I think High has better balance. Neal is as good at moving the ball as Wells although Wells is a better passer.

"We keyed on Neal, feeling he had to be stopped if we were to win. Obviously, we didn't stop him." COACH NO. 4 "I'd pick High on its quickness. I think Neal is just as good as Wells. Wells is the better thrower and Neal the better runner.

This is a Recording Used to be you ran down a football coach and asked your own questions. Most good newsmen do. However, colleges are now going to the taped interview. The school decides what questions are to be asked and makes a tape of the answers. Radio stations and newspapers are given a list of what questions to ask.

Here's a typical message sent out from a Big 10 school: "For up-to-date information on call between 10 a.m. Wednesday and 9 a.m. Thursday. Coach will answer the following questions on tape. Please keep the number confidential.

If you wish to record the interview, please be ready to tape immediately, as the recording will start when the number is connected. Length will be two minutes or less. The questions: I if tne game were today, what changes would you have in the starting lineup? 2. What is the injury report as of now? 3. How do you see the Big Ten race and role in it?

Another great run by Pfeiffer, for 23 yards, gave Wesleyan a 14-6 lead at the half, when Farrar again sent the ball squarely between the uprights. Bounces Over Sebo hit 15 of his 28 passes in the first half to keep the visitors in the running and Feind's field goal, which hit the crossbar and then bounced over left the Titans with a 14-9 advantage at the intermission. The second half was just as wild. Randy Dewar hit Tom McWhinnie with a perfect pass which netted in all 67 yards and while Farrar's kick was wide this time, the IWU rooting section breathed a bit easier as their lead mounted to 20-9. But the Cards were on the march again and with 4132 played, the Cards moved to the nine from whence John Beehler rambled across.

Feind converted to cut the Wesleyan lead to 20-16. Then the Titans put on their longest sustained march of the afternoon, with Dewar hitting Bruce Daydif for a first down, then Phil Cavitt, and on the fourth play of the fourth quarter, Pfeiffer shot across from the seven and Farrar's kick for the point was good. This was the best sustained drive of this wild scoring orgy. A great grab by Linder of Selbo's pass on the Titan 32 preceded a 49-yard sprint by Thorne, who showed some real Jeception racing down the south sideline with the entire NC eleven in pursuit. Dewar then hit for McWhinnie again for 16 yards and his second TD.
