Right now Clarion, Slippery Rock, Point Park and the Titans have the top records and. Utey are competing for the four spots in the playoffs Westminster makes its fourth straight road trip tomorrow when it treks to Indiana Pa The Titans are 2- 2 on the road Males and Tylinski were the Titans' top scorers with 14 points each. Dempsey new YSU grid coach By PETE MOLLICA Sportt Editor YOUNGSTOWN Rey Dempy, newly-appointed head football coach at Youngstown State University, set out this week with the intentions of building a "good, solid football program" at YSU.

Dempsey and his holdover staff began their recruiting this week after he was named only the second head football coach in YSU history. Dempsey was appointed on Jan. 8 to succeed the late Dwight "Dike" Beede who had led the Penguins through 32 seasons since starting the sport at YSU in 1938. Beede, an accidental drowning victim on Dec. 10, 1972, retired as coach following last season and would have reached the mandatory state of retirement age of 70 this week.

Most recently the offensive line coach at Bowling Green State University, the 3fryear-old Dempsey and Ken Crutcher of Beaver Falls, "They played real well under the circumstances," doled Ondako. Crutcher was one of four Titans to reach double figures with 12 points while Kress pumped in nine including a near perfect five-for-six from the free throw line. Crutcher, Kress and senior Sam Males scored the last 15 points for the Titans in the final six minutes of play. Most of their points came from the free throw line as the Titans had one of their better foul shooting performances of the year. They made 14 ol 18.

While the markmanship from the charity stripe was near excellent their field goal shooting was as bad. On several occasions they had three and four shots, but couldn't put the ball through (he hole. 'We didn't shDDt too well, but you sort of expect it coming off the big game against Youngstown State on Saturday," said Ondako. Alliance jumped out tn a quick 4-0 lead on fielder by Jack Siverling and one by Terry Miller and Ondako couldn't help but wonder if it was going to be one of those nights here. Two years ago the Titans barely escaped with a one point win and last year they were beaten here in the third game of a seven game losing streak.

The Titans righted themselves as Bill Cress and Don Tylinski brought the Titans Into a 6-6 and B-8 tie. With Males put Westminster ahead for good with a fast break layup. Westminster had all sorts of leads, but the Eagles would never give up and kept clawing their way back. The biggest Titan margin was at the end of the first half when they were up by 11. Alliance started the second half like the first as it scored eight straight points to cut the margin to three 42-39 on a fielder by Siverling.

Tylinski broke the ice with a fielder and Gary Rice canned one from the corner as the Titans were on their way. Westminster really started to break the contest wide open with 6:35 left in the game as it scored 10 straight points to take a 67-52 lead before the officials did their thing. TITAN NOTES Westminster received some help in NAIA District 18 last night as constantly booing. It seemed the more they booed the worse the officiating got. What made matters worse was (hat when officials Walt Bedlch and Jim Bestwick called something and tried to explain what they called, they couldn't dolt.

There was a false double foul with 2:19 left, but Bedich couldn't get the interpretation across to Haluch to keep his ulcers bubbling. Bedich also got himself Into trouhle earlier when he called a jump ball and then ruled the Titans ball out of bounds. When he called the jump ball, Ondako flew from his seat to complain and Bedich awarded the Titans the ball out of bounds saying that it was his error, to the dismay of the Eagles. "When you lose and complain it's sour grapes, but when you win and still complain the officiating has to be bad," said Ondako. It won't surprise anyone who was in attendance if Ondako writes a letter of complaint about the game and for that matter, Haluch might do the same.

Through it all Ondako was well pleased with his two freshman players, Biff Kress of Meadvitle By MIKE LE1TERA New Sports Writer CAMBRIDGE SPRINGS In May of 1965 Casslus Clay (Muhammed Alii knocked out Sonny Liston in the first round in Lewistown, Maine, in what most sports experts called a farce. Last night's basketball game here between Westminster College and Alliance, would have to rank right alongside the Lewistown, Maine, fiasco, or whatever terminology you would like to use. The Titans survived the horrendous officiating and the bruises for a 76-71 victory to run their record to 10-2 while the Eagles drop to a 1-11 mark. Westminster coach Ray Ondako was up in arms over the officiating along with Eagles coach Ted Haluch, but Ondako stated his squad did what It had to do here, "win." Ondako's first words fallowing the game were was a good football game. It was ridiculous.

(UPI) Blaming a lack of communication with Head Coach Bobby Bowden and the 49-13 drubbing by North Carolina Stale in the Peach Bowl, halfback Kerry Marbury left West Virginia University Monday and turned pro. The 5-Eoot-IO, 180-pound junior would not discuss terms of his signing with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League, saying only that it had been "arranged" for him to play with them.

Bowden termed the departure of WVU's leading rusher the past two seasons as "ill-advised," and immediately invoked a ban in the WVU camp againsl any coach or agent of Che Canadian League. "What looks like big money now is chicken feed compared to what he might have made in the National Football League after a successful senior season," Bowden said. "1 am concerned for Kerry as to whether the Canadian club has been fair in their dealings in regard to security and tenure with them." Saving that members of the coaching staff discussed the situation with Marbury, Bowden emphasized that he was doing well in his school work and that had no bearing on his leaving. "Anyone that would sign a college junior without even consulting the football staff is sadly lacking in integrity and ethics as far as 1 am concerned," Bowden said. Marbury rushed for 1,665 yards and scored 24 touchdowns In two seasons, including 18 touchdowns the past season.

"I want tn apologize for leaving Wesl Virginia," Marbury said. "I want to apologize for the Peach Bowl. I feel that we made a fool out of the entire state and I'm sorry. "However, some things were said about us in the press that weren't so, things like being out of shape, getting drunk and so forth." On his claim of a communications gap between himself and Bowden, Marbury elaborated, "We don't talk. We just can't communicate.

I haven't talked to him." Marbury, who was a high school senation at Monongah High School, said he would depart WVU this week and go to California where he has "a lot of things to work on."

Immediately behind Foreman tin the for the world boxing heavyweight championship. Referee hat) Is Archie Moore, a former heavyweight title holder. began his coaching career in 1958, spending three years as an assistant coach in charge of the offensive backfield at Hopewell High School. "I worked under Bill McDonald at Hopewell. He's now the head coach at Edinboro State College," Dempsey added.

His first head coaching job was at nearby East Palestine High where he posted a 21-18-1 record before moving to Central Catholic High in Canton in 1965. He had a 33-25-2 mark in six seasons, going 16-4 his final two years and shutting out eight of 10 opponents in 1970, His 10-year high school mark was 54-43-3. Born in East Pittsburgh, Dempsey was raised in Pitcaim. where he captained the high school football, basketball and baseball teams. "I was fortunate to have played for a great high school coach in Chuck Klausing at Pitcaim.

Chuck's now doing a fine job at West Virginia," he said. Dempsey had a stellar career at Geneva College under coach By Morgan, ranking 21st in the nation among NAIA schools in passing in his senior year of 1958. A four-year letterman, as a quarterback, he also played basketball and baseball. Dempsey's two-year stay at Bowling Green saw the Falcons finish second in the Mid-American Conference both years, first in offense in 1971 and third in 1972. He headed the recruiting and football academic programs.

Rated as a sound fundamentalist who relates well with his players, Dempsey comes highly regarded by his fellow coaches and former players. A dedicated and enthusiastic young mentor, Dempsey is recognized as a great organizer and one of the hardest workers in the profession. "Often times I get accused of over-organizing but if you would happen to walk into my office right now you would find nothing but a state of mass confusion," Dempsey kidded. Youngstown State will have a new look this year, according to Dempsey. "We'll run out of the formation with slots and flankers and also pro sets.

We'll tailor our offense to our material. We'll use a slant defense with a 50 look and we hope to have a strong kicking game. "I believe that in order to have a successful team we need enthusiasm, organization and dedication. We've got to try and make YSU's image one that young people want to be part of. "Our staff is still not completed but when we look for an assistant we also have to look for a teacher since our coaches must both teach and coach." Dempsey has his assistants out recruiting right now and he plans to keep the emphasis on the Youngstown area.

"I feel that we don't have to go any further than a 50-mile radius of Youngstown." Dempsey really won't know just what material For title defense Foreman free after Foreman repeatedly to pick should check further." Frnzier was to see Dr. John Hall in the morning to check and see if he had suffered any serious head damage. A loser for the first time in 30 pro fights. Frazier took the defeat graciously but vowed he would he back. "I've got a score to settle." he said.

"I'll be back and that's a promise." Yank Durham, the former champion's manager, agreed with his beaten fighter. "I saw nothing to suggest, he should said Durham. The victory was Foreman's 38th straight and 35th knockout. Only this" time his critics can't say he fought nobody."
