Pinckneyville took its first victory of the season with 19-6 conquest over winless Chester. Carbondale and Mount Ver non provided the fireworks in South Seven Conference action with high scoring victories over West Frankfort and Herrin re spectively. The Terriers bombed the Tig ers 46-20 while the Rams hum bled the Redbirds 47-0.

Both teams own 2-0 conference mark again. A few of the boys had small injuries and I didn't want to take a chance of aggravating them. And with the weather, I was afraid we'd end up with a bunch of colds." Carboneale is now even in the Tiger taming department and 2-1 overall. They opened with a 20-7 loss to the Cape Girardeau, Tigers before last week's 28-7 conference win over Centralia. Many thoughts are now being turned toward Mount Vernon, the conference favorite and the last foe of the year for Car bondale.

It's likely that show down could decide the race. Before that meeting, however, will ccme Marion, West Frankfort, Harrisburg and Benton. "At least we should be at our peak by the end of the season," reasoned Pollock. "The Rams had it when they start ed this year and we didn't. We've been improving each game and should be ready for them." Notably improved was Pan-key, who connected on his first four passing attempts and displayed fine faking ability.

Stewart, the coach bombed on both sides, figures Carbondale and Mount Vernon as nearly equal. "The Rams have more speed their backfield could make a track squad in itself, but a Car-bondale-Mount Vernon meeting would be interesting," said Stewart.

The victory gave the Indians 2-0 Southwest Egyptian Con ference record A missed conversion attempt was tne ainerence alter Du Quoin, behind the strong running of Mike Downs, took a 14- 0 halftime lead. Nashville showed that it may nave a nana tne awn: race Terriers win By Mike Schwebel Of The Southern Illinoisan The scoreboard lights read 'Carbondale 46, Herrin 20" at Bleyer Field Friday night and it wasn't necessary for Terrier coach Vera Pollock to heap praise on his offensive unit.

The 20 points bugged Pollock, however, as tne Terriers wok a second stride toward a possible first South Seven Confer ence title. "The defense was flat, just plain flat," he moaned as only a victorious coach can moan. Rain and a few minor in-ihiries during the week had limited practice and it was the defense that showed it. It rained in Herrin too, ana Coach Harry Stewart wasn't pleased with his Tiger defense. "I figured maybe two or three touchdowns might win it," said Stewart.

That theory went out the win dow long before halftime when the Terriers rolled to a 34-13 bulge. After a 41-13 thumping by Mount Vernon last week, Her rin seemed determined to take it out on the Terriers as they marched to a 70 yard touch down drive after receivng the kickoff. Mike Cochran, who did every thing but take the goal posts thome for the night, ran 3o yards around the right side to cap a 67-yard Carbondale drive that tied it. Then, thanks to a timely Tig- 11 1 1 T- er lumme recoverea dv joraa WToods, off they went again. From the Herrin 29, it was just a matter of time before Bob Pankey sneaked over for the score.

A six yard run by Russ May er and an interception by Coch ran gave the Terriers two quick touchdowns in the second quar ter. Cochran, who artfully juggled the ball before he found the handle, ran 42 yards down the sideline. Herrin's hard running half back Tim Walker then popped through the center of the Car bondale line with little trouble for a 64 yard jaunt to make it Jesse Crow came back to romp 50 yards and that made it 34-13 at halftime. The Terriers then coasted with a third quarter ground game with Mayer scoring from four yards out. The second unit, directed by southpaw quarterback Bill Res-nik, put over a fourth quarter score covering 55 yards.

Mike Miller went nine yards for the lastTD. Herrin's last score came on a plunge by the powerful Walker with 3:04 remaining. "We're really going to work on our defense this week," said Pollock. "We were sharp at Centralia and we have to get sharp Marion, hoping to play a dark horse role, is also 2-0 in conference play after a tight 7-6 win over Benton. Mount Vernon, in rolling to a third straight win, had seven different players scoring touchdowns and the regulars gave way to the reserves midway in the third quarter.

The Terriers opened up a devastating offensive attack behind quarterback Bob Pankey and halfback Mike Cochran. They rolled to a 34-13 halftime lead. Christopher strengthened its bid for a Black Diamond Conference title with a 32-0 victory over Elverado. Quarterback Andy Wilson and fullback Larry Cavinder paced Christophers running and pass ing attack as the defense held Elverado to minus yardage for the game. Wilson ran for 161 yards ia six carries and hit on four of eight passes for 102 yards.

Cav inder went over for two scores. In another match, Sesser evened its mark to 1-1 by whipping Zeigler-Royalton 28-13. Carterville has yet to open conference play. Cairo topped Metropolis 12-0 in a battle of independents. Centralia was shut out 6-0 by Ca-hokia, Eldorado topped Harrisburg 24-6 and Johnston City ran by Anna-Jonesboro 26-7 in non-conference battles.

Da Rosa was taken to Doc tors Hospital where he spent tha night. The 155-pound senior told doc tors he didn remember anything about the game except tha warm-up exercises. key SWE game he feels his defense contained the Du Quoin offense exceptionally well, except for a long first period run and one third quarter drive, both of which ended in touchdowns.

Graeff said the host Indian team was "really up" for the game, and gave strong credit to the defensive team and its "strong pursuit on our running attack." Du Quoin scratched the first mark on the scoreboard in the first few minutes of the game. After a Murphysboro punt went into the Indian end zone, quarterback Don Stanhouse circled right end for three yards.

dian secondary, and gathered in the pass without breaking stride and raced untouched into the end zone. Eddie Lipe's placement attempt slid just outside the left upright, leaving Du Quoin ahead 14-6 with 6:40 on the clock. Murphysboro was right back the scoring column, after kicking off and forcing the In dians to punt to midfield. A 40-yard pass gain from Willis to John Glodo moved the Devils to a first down on the 7, as Glodo went high in the air to wrest the ball away from an Indian defender. Two power plays in to the middle gained four yards before Mark Kennedy swept wide on an end run and picked up the final three yards.

On a placement attempt, the center pass was high, and went direct to the hands of Lipe, the kicker. Lipe juggled the ball momentarily, evading two rushing linemen, and raced to the corner of the field to add the extra point. Du Quoin alertly played for a short kick attempt, and downed the kickoff on the 32. After two plays netted nothing, Du Quoin gambled on a short pass over the middle which Parmley intercepted on the 36, giving Murphysboro the ball (with 1:35 remaining. Three plays netted a short seven yards before Kennedy swept end and was knocked out of bounds at the D26.

Officials ruled Kennedy had stepped out of bounds before he made a first down, and the Indians took the ball for two plays to kill the clock.

"He's a tough run- ner," Feuquay said. "He's the first man that's been able to do any running against as." Paulk gained 22 of the Redbirds 33 yards rushing. The Ram offense rambled for 335 yards.

Williams, whose nickname is "Pencil" because he stands 6-2 and weighs only 160, threw only three passes but completed all of them for 118 yards. Statistics point eight runs, bulling over through three tacklers for the final three yard scoring push. Stanhouse's second placement was low over the bar, but per fectly good for a 14-0 lead. Murphysboro's offense, which had produced little in the way of a scoring threat, pushed to the D-31 early in the fourth period before a pass interception by Jeff Duncan halted the drive. After the Indians were set back on a holding penalty, Stanhouse punted out to the 40.

On the first play, Devil quarterback Larry Willis caught halfback Dan Parmley racing down the left sideline, and hit him with a perfectly timed toss on the 22. Parmley was behind the In- foe for vicforv Benton made one drive late in the fourth quarter to reach the Marion 19-yard line with fourth down and five yards to go. Quarterback Dick Corn passed nicely to Kearney but line backer Jim Marshall made the big play of the night at this point as he tackled Kearney for a one-yard gain. Marion took the ball and kept it the final two minutes.

Du Quoin weathered the late Murphysboro push, and emerged with a 14-13 decision, the first Indian football win over Murphysboro since 1942. "It was a fine team effort all the way they were all just great," said Indian Coach Don Anderson. Anderson picked out the strong running of junior fullback Mike Downs as the Indians strongest offensive threat, and credited his line with top defensive play. Citing wnat might have been a disastrous play call late in the fourth period, Anderson said: "I called that third down pass play that was intercepted, and! which gave Murphysboro the! ball and a chance to go ahead. I figured the pass was a good gamble that might pay off, since Murphysboro was playing in close to stop the running game and I figured a first down would kill enought time to run out the clock." Murphysboro Coach Bob Graeff said the loss was the first ball game he can remember losing and not feeling real disappointed.

"Our kids hustled and they tried and they learned a lot in that fourth quarter. They came back strong in the last quarter, and almost pulled it out." Graeff said several lineup changes, which have been made because of injuries, have caused the Red Devils some problems. "We had an end playing linebacker and a fullback playing tackle, and it takes time for them to adjust to the change in positions," Graeff said. The Murphysboro coach said two good downfield blocks at the D-35, and ran 63 yards to the M-9 before being downed. Two runs and a pass play from Stanhouse to Mike McRoy netted five yards before Sidney Jefferson took a pitchout and swept left end for the touchdown.

Stanhouse booted the first of what was to be two gold-plated extra points for a 7-0 Du Quoin lead. A pass interception early in the third period set up the second Indian touchdown, as the Indians took over on their own 46. From that point on it was all Mike Downs, as the Indian carried on eight successive power runs into the line. He gained 12, 3, 5, 12, 5, 1, 3 and 3 on the Kearney ran for the extra point but was stopped short by Ken McAnelly to leave the Ranger lead at 6-0. Marion dominated play all the rest of the second quarter to roll up a 5-0 advantage in first downs for the period.

The Wildcats could get no closer than the Ranger 33-yard line late in the half, however, and tried three late passes unsuccessfully in an effort to beat the halftime clock. Benton gambled on making two yards on fourth down on the Marion 42-yard line midway in the third period and gave up the ball. The Wildcats then drove 58 yards to score. The big play was a pass-lateral from Larry Hud-gens to end David Jones to halfback Bill Kinsey for 23 yards to the Benton 25. Gordon Richey, George Herring and Kinsey punched away on short gainers until Richey dove over from the one to score.

Fosse's kick put Marion ahead 7-6 with two minutes left in the third period.

The tradition is to carry the winning coach off the field. In Coach Don Anderson's case, standing about 6-3 and weighing well over the 220 pound mark, that's a lot of carrying. First a group of fans tried it but failed.

A group of players finally managed to get Coach Anderson off the ground, but couldn't hold him and both the carriers and the coach went to the ground. But they couldn't have been happier. Rams continue merry way The Marion Wildcats posted their third straight victory at Benton Friday in taking a 7-6 South Seven Conference triumph. The game was a virtual standoff except for Jim Fosse's successful place kick which brought the Wildcats from behind in the third quarter. "Their line beat us in the second half," said a disappointed Benton Coach Randy Dudley, whose team had led 6-0 at half-time after dominating the early going.

"This was our worst game," commented a Marion staffer in comparing Wildcat play to that which brought victories over Johnston City and Harrisburg in previous games. "Maybe the boys thought Benton would be easy." After a clipping penalty had stopped the Rangers on their first drive, they moved steadily on the ground for 44 yards to score on a three-yard smash by fullback Gary Kearney on first play of the second quarter. The Redbirds found out who one of them was the hard way. The Rams' Eddie Lively gathered in a Redbird punt on his own 22, started up the middle, then cut to the outside and streaked 78 yards for a touchdown. Willie Shields kicked the first of his five extra points and the Rams led 7-0 with 7:53 left in the first period.

The Redbirds, who were forced to punt eight more times by the stiff Ram defense, put an end to any more punt returns by kicking out of bounds the rest of the game. But the Rams had more than one wray of scoring, as the Red- birds soon discovered. After forcing the Redbirds to punt again, the Rams moved to two first downs before Mike Rush broke into the open and romped 53 yards for the score.

West Frankfort's Redbirds were the latest victim in the Rams onslaught, falling 47-0 Friday night at West Frankfort. The Rams have now rolled up 127 points in winning three straight. The Rams struck from long range on five of their seven touchdowns, and got scoring efforts from seven different players.

"We were so much faster than they were, we were able to outrun them," Ram Coach Les Feuquay said. "We've got eight or nine boys who can run the 220 in 24 seconds or less." seats the Rams were on scoreboard again. On the Red-birds' second play after the kickoff Bruce Rutherford picked off Larry Smith's pass and went 36 yards to score, putting the Rams ahead 20-0 at the end of the first period. Feuquay doesn't like to run up the score on an opponent, but his regulars don't see it his way. "My team hasn't played over a half yet, so I have to leave them in there to get the experience," he said.

The Ram starters, whose favorite pasttime seems to be scoring touchdowns, rolled up three more before the reserves took over midway in the third quarter. The Rams tallied their fourth touchdown via the air route. Quarterback Tom Williams fired a pass to Lee Mays that Mays and the Redbird defender batted around like a hot pota to it and went in for a 61-yard score "the finest catch I've ever Feuquay said. Place kicker Shields moved up to the six-point category when he was on the receiving end of a fourth down Williams pass good for 46 yards to boost the margin to 33-0 at halftime. Williams took his turn crossing the Redbird goal line in the third period when he bootlegged around his left end for 17 yards.

Bengt Olsen put the Ram reserves on the scoreboard with a 16-yard romp in the third period. The Ram defense, spearheaded by Gregg Goodman, i Smith, and Rutherford stopped the Redbirds cold.
