PITTSBURGH Pitt
looked •terrible. USC would
never run like that against

overcast which slowly disap

it was, no, one was thrilled and
USC's 16-7 victory was just
short of boring until the fourth
quarter.
When Tony Dorsett broke

people clapped, a few more
chugged. The• loudest ap

nounced that Notre Dame was

The only standing ovation
came before the game during
an eulogy to Ed Conway, the

years, who died this summer
of cancer.
CSC pushed Pitt all over the
field but the Panthers held a 7-

till 5:58 into the fourth quar

And that's ironic because
USC held the ball for roughly
44 minutes! "It seemed like
we had the ball for a week in
the third quarter," said USC
boss John McKay. "And every
time I looked up at the
scoreboard we were behind."

Football at Notre Dame '"w
SOUTH BEND, Ind.—Addressing his 23rd freshman
class last month, Norte Dame President Rev. Theodore
M. Hesburgh gave it the traditional information that the
statue atop his celebrated Golden Dome is not Knute
Rockne in a raincoat.
At Notre Darhe, the evidence suggests, football and the
Catholic Church enjoy a very active partnership. Orr the
west side of Notre Dame's Memorial Library is a statue of
Moses pointing a forefinger to heaven. The Irish loyal
know him as "First Down Moses."
, On the south side of the same building, which faces
Note_Dame Stadium, is a beautiful mosaic of Christ lift
ing both arms upward in the old praying form. The art
work covers one side of the largest university library

;
building in the world. Notre Dame fans in the south end of
the stadium need only lift their eyes slightly to see
"Touchdown Jesus" signal another Irish score.
This relationship is evident even at the pep rallies, an
important part of football at South Bend.
Just as the sun goes down is when the Stephan Center
starts blazing.
Friday 'light Notre Dame held the pep rally before its
first home football game, this year with Indianarival Pur
due.
The rally doesn't start until 7, but by 6:15 strings of
students come dancing and singing out of the dorms, un
winding from those chemistry lectures by Emil T. Hoff
man, another Fighting Irish institution.
The rallies themselves have a let in common with
college' course registrations and acid rock concerts,
probably the reason they're all held in the same building
at Notre Dame.
The props are simple enough: an acre of indoor floor
space; a stage backed by a curtain; a band of enthusiastic
musicians; 1000 rolls of University toilet paper; 8,000
radiating,gyrating, sweating Irish fans; and the Notre
Dame football team.

lOWA CITY, lowa Shortly before the start of
Saturday's Penn State-lowa football game at lowa's
Kinnick Stadium, Lion coach Joe Paterno turned to
a referee in waiting along the sideline and asked:
"Can you give me a five minute warning before the
game starts??'
The referv t assented.
"By the way," Parterno continued, "could you
also stop the rain? , '
After last week's upset by Navy, and all the hot
water it got the Lions into, Paterno obviously was
trying to keep his feet dry.
As it turned out, though, it was the lowa offense
,that took a dunking, as Penn State shut down the
Hawkeyes in near-perfect fashion, 27-0
So adept was the Lion defense at stopping lowa
that the Hawkeyes didn't get a single first down un
til the fourth quarter. By that timesPerin State had
all its points.
Lion defensive end Greg Murphy, who got the
lowa game ball to shelve beside his Red Worrell
Trophy, put it best: "We stopped their outside
game, which worked very well against UCLA. lowa
did exactly what we wanted."
The lowa people said they were impressed.
"Their defense is so tough because it's unor
thodox," lowa coach' Bob Commings said. "Penn
State's defensive line whipped us unmercifully."
Bucs fall back unto deadlock

the New York Mets dented Pittsburgh's stretch drive for the
National League East championship with a 7-2 victory over the

Gene Clines hit a pinch single to right field. Clines camp a
round to score the Pirates' first run when left fielder Benny
Ayala dropped Richie Hebner's fly ball for a two-base error.
The Pirates scored their second run of the game in the ninth
on Willie Stargell's sacrifice fly.
The Mets staked Apodaca, 66, to an early lead, chasing star-.
ter. Ken Brett in a four-run second inning.
Teddy Martinez opened the second with a boomingtripleland
trotted home on Duffy Dyers single for the game's first run.
Then Wayne Garrett doubled into the right field corner and
Apodaca walked, loading the bases.
Don Hahn's single up the middle gave the Mets two more
runs and finished Brett, 13-9. Larry Demery relieved and
Ayala's sacrifice fly delivered the fourth New York run.
Demery got through the next two innings but surrendered
another run in the fifth on hits by Ayala and Martinez sand
wiched around a walk. New York then ganged up on John
Morlan for two more rbns in the sixth on consecutive singles by
Hahn, Felix Milian, Rusty Staub and Ayala.

"I think their rush affected us most," lowa
Athletic Director Chalmers Elliott observed. "Penn
State was overwhelming up fp:lnt."
Besides stonewalling it ouidefense, Penn State
kept lowa in th 6 oven all afternoon wittilts kicking
game.
lowa started orfensive drives on i own 20, 20, 4,
23, 24, 28, 21, 14, 18, 30, 20, 20, 14 and 29 yard lines.
Not once were they given good field position.
Penn State was handed excellent field position
time after time.
'The Lions' initial possession was on the lowa 48-
yard line. They also took over on loWa's 45, 48, 33,
33, 40, 12, 39 and 26. Only five times did Penn State
even have to start drives in its own half of the field.
lowa never started in Penn State's ' half. In fact,
the Hawks only crossed midfield once, on their final
drive. That accounted for their deepest penetraticin
of the day, to the Lion 45-yard line.
For the first three quarters the Hawkeyes never
got the ball beyond their own 32.
"There's really not much I can say at this time,"
Commings intoned. "Penn State just did it all today.
We didii:tplay with the intensity you have to have to
play a team like Penn - State. They literally mauled
us out there today. They are, on the basis of today's
game, the best team, by far, that we've played.
"The only thing to say about today," Commings
continued, "was that we didn't play good football.
I've never had a team go that long without a first
First the cheerleaders warm up the fans. Along with all
the "We're No. One's," . there are a few fan-improvised
cheers for Emil T.
Finally the defensive captain takes the mike. This year
he is Greg Collins, a healthy looking linebacker from c
Troy, Michigan.
"I look out there and I' ee some faces I know and some
faces that I don't know," Collins started, "and for the ones
I don't know I'd like to say, I'm Tom Clements...' "
The reference was prompted by Clements' appearence
on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine last week.
Collins was rewarded for his humor with a barrage of
toilet paper rolls.
Then everyone's all-american hero, Notre Dame quar
terback Tom Clements took over. A miracle was the first
order of business.
"You may have read in Sports Illustrated that I was
quoted as saying I feel can do anything," Clementi
began. "Well, on the way over here I stopped at the Hud
dle (campus snack bar) and bought a hamburger and a
coke. So if any of you are hungry, come right up here. I
think I can feed most of you."
Like Collins, Clements then introduced his unit, the of
fense. One by one, players stood to defening roars. By the
time they were all standing ithe gtage looked like the outer
office of acasting director filming the movietercules.
Ara Parseghian, the Notie Dame coach, then brought
the crowd to its emotional s4mmit by doffing a lepricon's
hat•and shouting:
``Purdue has a great defense!" The crowd booed.
"Purdue lfas a great offense!" The crowd booed.
"Purdue has a great qua4erback!" The crowd booed
"Purdue has a great halfback !" The crowd booed.
"Are you going to be there tomorrow!" The crowd went
bananas.
"Will we hear you tomorrow!" The crowd went nuts.
"Who's going to win!" He walked away while the band
started up the Notre Dame fight song.
Then u played the Notre Dame alma mater, and
someone held up a gold helmet with a gold Madonna fixed
on top. The helmet and the statue swayed back and forth,
framed by the silver insulation on the celing and the
thousands of perspiring elbows and necks and Notre
Dame tee shirts...unbelievable.
Notre Dame, the defending National Champion was un
beatable, unapproachablej safe in its mystique of
superiority. 1
The next afternoon, lowly Purdue upset the Irish, 31-20.

CHICAGO (AP) Jose pinch three-run homer capped
a four-run sixth inning which gave the St. Louis Cardinals a 7-3
victory over the Chicago Cidis yesterday.
The victory moved the Cardinals into first-place tie in the
National League East with ;the Pittsburgh Pirates, who were
beaten 7-2 by the New York Mets.
All four of the Cardinal hins in the sixth were unearned as
pitcher Steve Stone committed a throwing error and shortstop
Don'Kessinger dropped the apparent third-out pop fly before
Cruz homered.
The Cardinals led 3-2 when Mike Tyson singled with one out
in the sixth. Pitcher John Cuitis bunt6d and when Stone threw
wildly past first, Tyson scored. Lou Brock fouled out but Ted
Sizemore was safe when Kessinger dropped his popup for the
costly error which brought Cruz to bat.
Ted Simmons drove in a run in the Cardinal first, Joe Torre
singled home one in the third and Brock Singled home another
in the fourth before stealing his 118th base of the season and
15th against the Cubs without being caught.
The Cubs scored an unearned run in the first on a pair of
singles and an error by Tyson. Bill Madlock hit his ninth homer
to lead off the fourth, closing the gap before the Cardinals
broke it open in the sixth.
"We had an awfully lot of good things happen to us
early in the game," Paterno said. "We got on top of
them early. So few people play the type of defense
we use and I think our defense kept them off bal
ance. They looked a little more unsure of them
selves than they did a week ago -
Suprisingly, Penn State's offense performed
much the same way it did against Navy, except of
course the Lions did not fumble once, throw an in
terception, or miss either of the two field goal at
tempts John Reihner attempted (Chris Bahr was in
jured in Friday's Hartwick soccer game).
Ten different players ran the ball for Paterno at
sometime during the game, eight successfully.
There was something nice to be said for lowa. and
Commings said it afterwards.
"As weird as it sounds, I thought our defense
played pretty good ball today," he said. "But when
vou give a team the field position that they had all
day....my gosh, you can't expect the defense to do
the job all day without a break."
Paterno usually has a saying of some kind
whenever something important happens to one of
his teams, and Saturday at lowa was business as
usual.
"As the saying goes," Paterno said, "you - aren't,
as bad a team as it looks when you lose and not as
good as you look when you win. That's us the past
couple of weeks."
