year starter who gets Gahaima's tough yards. O'Cain, playing on AstroTurf !or the first time against St. Ed., had 176 yards rushing and sat out much or the last quarter.

Reed added 67 yards on the ground, and according to a Columbus reporter, "They looked better than.anyone expected against Lakewood; they played a super game."

MOELLER COACH Gerry Faust explilins: "They look like the sort of team that plays according to who they're playing." Faust and his coaches have viewed the GahannaLakewood game films, and Faust says, "They completely destroyed St. Ed. There wasn't even any question.

It's really got us concerned."

GAHANNA GAVE up only four touchdowns and a field goal on the year, and the defense impressed Faust. "They were really aggressive and very quick," he notes. Standouts Include all-district linebacker Glen Bradford and defensive back Ted Hall, who doubles as Gahanna's best receiver. He'll probably be used that way.

"They throw about once every four down's, and they do a good job at throwing," says Faust. "Thev try

E·x- Elder Coach Directs Indiana. Clta~~ps Ken Haupt, former Elder High School football coach, has discovered the limelight in Merrillville, Ind., winning the state's Class AAA football title over Ure weekend and snapping some heftY':winnlng streaks along the way.

Merrtllvllle, which lost only once on theJl_~!_lSon, beat the state's top-rated team·,..Valparalso, 35-14, In sectionals.

Valp'ri's~VIklngs were defending champs and took a 31-game winning streak Into the contest. They were also the only group to beat MerrlllvUle this year. • Just to prove It wasn't a fluke, Haupt's Pirates beat Indlanapoll~ Cathedral, 28-24, for the state title after dumping unbeaten South Bend St. Joseph's In the semis. The title victory ended Cathedral's winning streak at 20. 'of his state championship, Haupt said, "Basically, we had balance. They shut orr (our runners). But we felt they were vulnerable to the pass."

Cathedral proved to be just that, as Merrillville quarterback Jeff Parker's second-half touchdown passes of 46, 54 and 19 yards wiped out a 17-7 deficit. The winning score came with less than two minutes left.

"They had too much speed,'' said Cathedral coach Mike McGinley. "We had our best kids In there. I think they

gave everything they had."

In Clas~ A play, Lawrenceburg was denied a second straight crown, losing, 8-6. to Lafayette Central Catholic. M ishawaka Marian, which owns a 24-game· winning streak, became the first team In Indiana history to win consecutive titles, taking the AA championship, 34-7, over Jasper.

"We'll have to rebuild," Faust admits, "but we had to rebuild tbii..Jear, too. ~·n probably have as many starters coming back next year as· we · did this year.

"We'll have to rebuild . the offense completely. The defense will be pretty well intact."

Moeller will lose 10 starters from the potent offensive unit wliiA:h breezed through the playoffs withoat·working up a sweat. Junior fullback Charlie Milton will be the lone regular returning when Moell· · er begins practice next summer.

Senior starters who will be missing next season .are tailback ·steve Givens, wingback Bobby Massong, quarttVhHck Tim Koegel, center Kevin Yoas, guards Tom Quick and Rob Lockwood,· tackles Jimmy Brown and John Budde, split end Dave Condeni and tight end Steve Puthoff, who alternated this season with junior Kirby Clark. .

"We think we'll have to make some changes," says Faust. "Our:big concern will [)e tl}e offensive line as it is every year. We have some real good kids coming up, but I don't know if They..ll perform like these kids did," The vaunted Moeller defense, which gave up only 40 points in 12· games this season, returns eight starters next year.

The only regulars. the Crusaders will loSe are defensive end Rick .Hubbard, linebackers Chip Fry and Karl Woods and defensive back tim Tepe. Linebacker Mike Staun, a part-time regular, also will graduate.

A crowd of close to 2000 fans, including Cincinnati mayor Bobbie Sterne, turned out at the school Saturday to welcome home the Crusaders from their championship triumph F:riday night.

QB Koegel

leads winners toAAA title

By BOB WHITMAN Ciflzen-Journal SPorts Writer

AKRON, 0. -Cincinnati Moeller, proving to be as invincible as rumor had to be, destroyed a gallant, undefeated Gahanna Lincoln team on its first mission into playoff football 43-5 Friday night in Akron's Rubber Bowl.

Challenging Gahanna with every tool a high school football team could hope to suse, Moeller set two OHSAA playoff records, becoming the first team in the five-year playoff history to win back-to-hack Class A.AA state championships.

DELUXE QUARTERBACK Tim Koegel, brother of former Ohio State All-American Vic Koegel, fired three first half touchdowns and backs Steve Givens and Bob Massong each scored two touchdowns to give the Crusaders the widest victory margin in a AAA state championship game, 38 points.

A week ago in quest of its second straight AAA crown, Moeller dismantled Youngstown Cardinal Mooney 48-0, amassing the highest point total in the five-year. AAA history, truely giving Moeller the rare distinction of being an uncontested champion in this Fall of 1976.

For veteran, widely-respected Coach Gerry Faust this capper of an unbelieveably amazing season gave him a 128 coaching wins against 16 losses and two ties in his 16-years at Moeller.

FURTHER THIS denting of Gahanna's heretofore unbeaten Lions was Moeller's 24th straight win, 44th victory in 46 games and seconj straight 12-t .season. .

It left Faust amazed in declaring his team the No. 1 the best "high school team in the nation and don't you forget it" when his time came to accept the trophy for being the best darnest.term in the state. 路 Faust's dechration may not be such an idle boast. Early in this season, one reputable national magazine touted Moeller the No. 1 scho1astic team and 路 nothing the Crusaders have done since then, nothing they did Friday could deny that.

BUT ON THIS Friday in Akron before 7,468 Rubber Bowl visitors, Moeller was the best in the state, starting early with a 7-0 first quarter lead and continuing deep into the game when Faust was dipping deep into his depth for 路that 43-5 jolting of Ohio Capitol Conference champion Gahanna.

Wherever Moeller struck, it 'struck with uncanny ability, a versatility not many schools have been fortunate to have and with a deadliness few before them have had.

When passing was needed, Keogel was a master, hitting 11 of 17 tosses for 147 yards and two touchdown strikes to Dan Condeni, one to Bob Massong.

Massong's ca"tch came with 3:08 left in the first quarter, on a 54-yard pass from Keogel to rock a Gahanna defense that had been stubborn until that time. Massong caught the perfectly, purely-thrown aerial on a dead run路 down the 'right sideline, outraCing defender Scott Wharton to the endzone.

----THE TWO TD PITCHES Condeni were darts, one a 19-yarder midway through the second quarter, the other capping a 44-yard eight play drive in the last 55 seconds of the first half for a 27-3 halftime lead that salted the game away.

Heading into the final 24 minutes, Moeller had played such a balanced game that Gahanna was motionless; the Crusaders had gained 263 first half yards while holding Gahanna to five.

Out first-<lowning the Lions 12-2.

There were but a few times Moeller proved to be mortal, only a few. Faust's heroes lost two fumbles, had one pass intercepted and wingback Bob Massong was tackled in the endzone off a p~nt for a Gahanna safety.

BUT EACH TIME Moeller recovered with more daring than Gahanna could match. In fact, not one minute and a half after Massong was nailed for a safety, Moeller had Gahanna's Toeller tackled in the endzone for~ safety of its own.

Trailing 7-0 early in the second period, Gahanna capitalized on one of Moeller's fumbles, turning it into a 31 yard field goal by Kent Parrill for its only real offense in the game, until the Lions moved late in the game, getting to the 12 before being halted.

"I would like to live with Koegel for the next 20 years, he's a super kid, the greatest, the best I've ever seen in high school; if I were a college coach, I'd change my offense to get him," gushed Faust.

And he didn't stop with Koegel.

"I THOUGH OUR Defense was the best I've every seen out of a high school team."

The mood at the other end of the hall was much different, though respectful of Moeller. â&#x20AC;˘ Said Gahaniia Coach Neal Billman:¡ "I've coached for 14 seasons this is the best team I've ever seen not just good rnnfinnAd nn l>aao ?n f"nl 1:.

East Still Owns West In All-Star Foothall, 35-14 ~y ALDROOZ Inquirer Sports Reporter For another year, at least-and or the fltth straight tlme-the East ootball team was best; but the 'Vest, at least, was exciting.

The West's excitement, however, :ouldn't overcome the East's evenual supremacy Friday nlght at Nlp>ert Stadium, the winners running 1p a 35-14 score whlle shutting out heir opponents ln the second half lt the annual East-West all-star :arne.

"We told our kids at halftime, 'It ve don't panic, we're gonna get the 1tfense going and score some )()lnts,'" said East coach Ed Lewls, .he winner in hts last Clnclnnatl Lppea.rance. He's headed for a ~olumhus coachmg job next tall

THE WEST came out with a daz:llng first-half display behind ~olerain quarterback Tim Clifford, ~rho had 251 passing yards tor the light. Clifford put the tlrst points m the board with a 27-yard touchtown pass to Flnneytown tight end Vllke Leahy, and set that up wlth an ~lght-yard pass to Daryl Brown on ·ourth down.

Later In the halt Clifford folowed a fumble recovery With a TD >ass of 17 yards to Taylor's Ron {raus. The West, to that polnt, had >layed errorless ball, except tor a 'lve-yard penalty.

The East countered With a Bob ichrader-to-Dorron Hunter Prince~n specialty, 55· yard bomb for lts t'lrst score, and from the beginning >f the second half on, the East had ~verything Its way lncludtng the >ounces.

"They were dolng some things :lefenslvely that we had to make adlustments tor," Lewls said. "They Nere overloading tor the pass. Our ·unning backs just had to open up 'he passing game."

PRINCETON DEFENSIVE back Sam Kinker started the East surge wlth the tlrst of three Interceptions ott Clltford, returning lt 27 yards to the West's 36 and setting up a Bllly Wlley 20-yard touchdown catch, compllments of Tim Koegel.

A booming 60-yard punt by Ken Naber which was promptly fumbled by the West's Doug Layne set up o. second TD by Wlley, this one not planned. Koegel hit Indian Hlll receiver Bob Atkinson wlth a 33-yard pass to the five. Atkinson fumbled, Wlley was right there and took ln the ball to give the East the lead for good, 21-14.

The East then established Itself for good, in Lewls' eyes, Schrader carrying r or 23 yards 8 II d Moeller running bark Skve Glvens brenk lng way tor 36. He followed that with a three-yard scoring burst. 28-14.

"The two fumble turnovers turned the whole game around," sald West coach Wll Rutenschroer, who admitted he foresaw the lead tllttlng away, because the West never could establlsh a running game. "I thought they controlled the llne of scrimmage offensively and defensively. It seemed like the offensive llne was slttlng back catching blocks. There was some good hlttlng ln there."

THE EAST scored lts last touchdown on the ground, Randy Sprague's Interception setting up Tom Fouchey's eventual two-yard run. "We just moved the rootbo.ll," Lewls said. "Offensively we had more boot action (quarterback carries)."

"I don't think we had near the people they had, but we came to play," Rutenschroer sald.

One sad note: Wyoming lineman Bob Green tore up a knee severely, and wlll undergo cartllaie surgery Tuesday. He's ln General Hospital, where he was taken by ambulance in the tlrst halt.

The victory gave the East a 3-0 lead in the current series, whlch continues today wlth a 1 p.m. baseball doubleheader at Xavier University.

Half of Reading and -Sharonville must have been there. AI Honerlaw was in the midst of the Sharon delegation on Moeller's side. Biff Niehaus. who!'e third son is a soph for the Crusaders. had plenty of help in celebrating the 48-0 triumph along with hi!- birthday.

Among those helping the former Davton C. and pro lineman, were George Hunt. Maurv \'andenEvnden and .Jimmy Keith. Ted Gramann. "who contini1es to serve the Boosters long__after son Denny graduated was wPII bundled up to wa~ off the chill\· weatht-r.

They are typical of the Crusader fans who will follow :\foe to Akron this weekend. Should be great fun. :--low. on what to expect this week. This rorner received numerous phone calls after he failed to predict a score for the Cardinal Mooney game. He didn't do it because he knew little of the Cardinali', or ol the teams they had beaten.

So, Sunday, we tooked into Gahanna Lincoln's past historv. First, we wanted to know where the herk the schooi is located. It is just outside Columb·ts in Franklin County, on Hamiltc:1 Rd. The Lions have a 10-0 record. Most impressive victory was a 10-0 one over Massillon the \lecorid week of the season. The 10 opponents have managed iust 29 points off the Black and Gold, and the mo~t- srored against them in a single game11 has· been seven. ~n the meantime, Gahanna Lincoln has rolled up 278 pomts..

• Those impressive figures fail to send ft-ar through this writer's heart, though. The Lions apparently can he very good or very bad on a giV£·n night.

They beat Westerville South 14-6. Roger Bacon shut out Westerville 6-0. Coach Fau!'t said (;ahanna looked classy· in the 28-0 rout of Lakewood St. Edwtud. .

:\1aybe so, but Wf''re expet'tin!l: tht• finul srnrt· Friday to be: Moeller 37, (;ahannn-Linrnln 7.

ni~otht

We are led toward that deduction l•y ln(Jking over Lakewood St. Ed's record. That team dt>liuitelv wasn't as good as the one Moeller and Princeton pJ.w~d a yt-ar ago.

In the first place, the Eagles didn't ~C\•re over 14 points in a single game, and loot nnP t" \'Varffm Wester.n. Reserve 21-12. All<>ther game wai' a :Z-0 \\in over St. Ignatius. Others came nver Cleveland Kennedy 6-0 and Catholic Latin 7-0.

Th\!se low score win!'o over medioee teams make~\\ difference to the computer that awards th~ tf \ points for a 7-6 victory as for a 70-6 one. ~~~ 'T'hn"' nnr ~7-7 nirlc fnr Frirl<n:'c:. rh<>rnni....~ ·

Hi~hway, and Saturday aftl'rnoon at 4, Moeller fans will rongrt"gate in the school gym to welcome their ~otriddf'rs home, at what hopf'fnlly will be a victory party.

All Coach Gerry Faust and his powerful Crusaders · must do to make that a reality is turn back another 10-0 Regional Champion, Gahanna Lincoln, the team that ousted Lakewood St. Edward last Friday, 28-0. Yes. Gahanna walloped the same St. Ed's tt-am Moeller edged for the 1976 state crown.

Some 16,500 fans who witnessed Moeller's disassembly job on Youngstown Cardinal MoonE:y at Dayton's Welcome Stadium last Friday. have no doubt about who the champion will be.

They saw a grid machine that is perhars the finest high schoo one ever assembled coast to victory over a rugged opponent, 480. ' The bright spot of the night for Cardinal Mooney was a beautiful group of drill team members who thrilled the fans with some fancy legWork at halftime.

Thf'v finished in second place .. Bt"fore their show, StPve Givens 11nd Bob Uas~nng had thrown their hip~ -in tantalizing fashion lo fake Mooney defenders out on a pair of TD trips and Tim Koegel had completed six of nine passes to for!l;e a 21-0 lead. Another 21 points came quickly in lhe third stanza and it was

all over.

Youngstown is a long way from Dayton. It was twice as far for the conquered Cardinals who had bopped Moeller 34-6 in the playoffs in 1973 and who had expected to do about the same this year.

Instead, Moe took command from the outset, both offensively and defensively, and for all practical purposes, it was "no contest" for the behemoths from up north against the state's No. 1 team, both on the computer readouts and two news wire services, AP and UPI. Ken Naber, who boomed seven kickoffs for an average of 53.8 yards, got Mooney in the hole to start with, and after one r~rst down, a short (17 yard) punt put Moeller in business at the Crusader 44.

After a yard gain and a five yard penalty, Steve Givens, on third and 14, slashed off right tackle and blitzed to the Mooney 43, a g11in of 17. Then Bob Massong sailed around left end for eig~t to the 35.

Charlie Milton picked up two, and with fourth and one at the 33, Givens shot through right guard for six, to keep the drive going. .

Tim Koegel had Mooney lulled into a running game defense by now, so he struck through the air, hitting Dave Condeni with a 27 yard pass for a first down at the enemy three.

Givens drove into paydirt on the second down; an/

J

Naber kicked Moeller to a 7-0 lead with 5:05 left in the opening quarter.

Another Cardinal Mooney punt was puny, going just 18 yards, and the Crusaders took over at the Redbird 49. Givens went wide right for nine to the 40 and Massong, after Koegel faked to Givens, sliced over left guard for e1ght to the 32. .

After Moe was penalized fh•e, Koegel struck through the air again. Condeni spearing a sideline flip. \l hen Dave wes wrestled

out of bounds, it was by his face mask and the walkoff to the Mooney 13 was followed on first down by Massong's end sweep left, and he threw the last defender a hip, side-stepped and dashed in for a 14-0 lead after Naber's PAT boot.

Mooney failed to gain again and punted to the 42, but roughing the kicker was called. A 12 yard pass from Jeff Bruno to Bob Stoops, an 18 yard dazzler

by Jack Lowe and a pass interference penalty against Moeller have the Cards a chance to cut it to 14-7 with a first down at the eight.

After a great stop by Bob Crable, four plays later found the Cardinals still a yard away at the one. Lowe got the call and was met by five Crusaders at the line of scrimmage. Lowe was so disgusted he kicked the ball, so the penalty gave Moeller the ball at the 151!2.

Bill Long recovered a fumble a few plays later after a 42 yard Naber punt drove Mooney back, and· Moe was in business again at the Mooney 48. Milton ignited a TD drive ·with a five yard scamper to the 43.

Massong used beautiful balance, bouncing off a would be taciCler on a 13 yard dash to the enemy 30.

Koegel fired a pass that Steve Puthoff caught up the middle and in a crod for 17 yards at the Youngstown 13.

After Milton charged to

the eight, the Koe~el­ Puthoff combination clicked again. Puthoff hauled the aerial in at the one, executed a clever spin to shake off the lone defender and stepped into the end zone before Naber booted the halftime lead to 21-0.

It would have been more.

A Koegel to Condeni pass and 10 yard Givens run, was followed by 12 yard pi'ckup on a KoegelCondeni pass that was nullified by a holding penalty and a Koegel to Massorig pass that carried 43 yards to Mooney's 12, also nullified by a motion call.

It didn't matter, Mighty Moe started the second half when Massong raced the kickoff back 25_yards to the 34. A 66 yard TD drive used seven plays. A nine yard run by Givens and an 11 yarder by Milton started things.

On a crucial third and 14 situation caused by another penalty,· Koegel threw up the middle to Condeni who latched onto the pigskin and used some fancy footwork to shake loose and complete a 22 yard play to Mooney's 28.

Two plays later, Givens hit up the middle behind perfect blocking, cut back right and quick-stepped 25 yards for a 28-0 lead, after Naber's PAT. After Bill Long and Chip Fry nailed Joe Croft for a loss, Mooney had to punt and Massong returned it 10 yards to the Cardinal47. A pass interference call ad-

vanced the Crusaders to the 37. Massong shot up the middle for 11 and then got eight on a draw play.

Givens moved Moe to the nine, from where Koegel hit Condeni with a short right flat pass. Dave barreled over the lone defender, knocking him into the end zone and Naber kicked the lead to 35-0.

For all practical purposes, it was all over, but a 15 yard pass fromKogel to Puthoff, who made a beautiful one handed catch carried to Mooney's nine, from where Givens crunched in for one TD and Jeff Curry went eight for another in the last period raised the final to 48-zip after Naber wound up the night with six for six in the place kicking department.

BOB CRABLE enjoys a break trom 1he recruiting wars with a game of table tennis at his home.

Recruiting Grind Finally Ends As Crable Picks Notre Dame

BY TRACY GAST Enquirer Sports Reporter

The Crable family has survived The Ordeal.

After an endless parade of college recruiters, nonstop phone calls and neighborhood advice, Moeller footbaD standout Bob Crable has signed a national letter of lr.tent with the University of Notre Dame.

Crable, a,6-foot-4, 21.5-pound middle linebacker, was one ot the most heavily recruited players m Ohio and in the nation. A threeyear letterman, Crable helped Moeller to three consecut~ve Ohio Class AAA state championships.

Local pressure was levied on Crable to attend the Unlversfcy of Cincinnati where Bearcat assistant coach John Parker, a former Moeller statler said Crable would have had a ehance to start at a varsit.y position .

"I'M A little disappointed. We need to get the super kid out of the city. He'll be an all-American wherever he goes. He'll be a super tight end or middle guard. It wm be tough, but I think he's going to push a lot of people," Parker sale..

Irish recruiter and assi:sr.a.r.t coach Brian Bulach, visiting the Crables Wednesday evening, said the Cincinnatian has "a very real chance to bl'eak an openir.g spot in the lineup.'' Bulach said Nctre Dame. wh:ch employs a threelinebacker defense, has assigned special priot"ity to the recruitment of linemen. Notre Dame is still waiting to hear from linemr~n from Oklahoma and Colorado. NCAA regulations permit 95 scholarship players.

With the graduation o! Hamilton's Doug Becker, a vacancy opens up in the 1978 varsity squad. Bob Golic, chosen .top defensi'\le player In this year's Cotton Bowl ax.d steve Heimkreiter. a Roger Bacon alumnus, will fill the remaini:-lg p:>.sitions.

UNTIL WEDNESDAY, Crable was still considering the University of Michigan and had receivECI a â&#x20AC;˘ last-minute visit !rom Wolverine coach Bo Sctlembechler.

Despite the tradition of Nctre 1 Dame Crable said the dete:mining factor was the unique relationst1ip the Irish athletes share with ~he student body.

"Every::ne seemed tc knew everyone else. I related to the pecple better. It didn't really matter t:1at Notre DamE was a Catholic school since there Is a lot of Cathol:cis:rr:. at Michigan, too. And the Irish m.vs-

tiq ue and publicity wasn't that important either, since the Michl: gan stadium holds 100,000 people, he said.

The National Collegiate Athletic Associa~ion allows high school players six expense-paid college recruiting tr,ps. Crable elected to visit Notre Dame, Michigan, Cincinnati, Colorado and Ohio State.

WHBN CRABLE and his parents went up to South Bend, Ind. last weekend, there was not enough time tor the Moeller player to review lrish game films. Concerned about the Notre Dame linebacklng philosophy and techniques, Crable asked the coaching starr to bring game fihns down to Cincinnati before m¡ating a final commitment.

Bulach said while Crable's request Vl'as rather unusual, there have been recruits that have requested private showings of game films to rev1ew game strategy and player personnel.

One of seven children, Crable said his parents never advised him what college to attend. His mother says many coaches found this dUficult t.o accept.

"We wanted him to make up his own n:lnd and the coaches couldn't

believe that. They thought we had an influence

What altaining Program!

TRAIN YOUIR TEAM ON THE BIONIIIC MACHINES! Whether you're adding to a present system or building a new one, top quality equipment should be your goal. Famous Universal quality begins before machines are constructed. With the use of computers and electronics we research human performance.

We analyze and assess man's system, his weight (mass of body segments), his levers (bones), and his devices for using force (muscles and nerves).

We then study human motion, var~tions in acceleration and deceleration within a single movement and the effects of the magnitude wi1h which the muscle has to contract.

When this portrait of man's movements is complele we design a machine for the man - not try to fit the man to a machine. The end result is that the

machine's movements become as natural as man's - h!3nce The Bionic Machine.

So you see, Universal machines mean top quality in performance as well as construction. Without cams, chains or sprockets, maintenance of Universal machines almost doesn'l exist. And only UnPversal power stations can provide full range, explosive, ballistic movement with DVR (Dynamic Variable Resistance).

Universal's exclusive DVR system automatically varies resistance to maintain the same degree of muscle effort throughout a range of movement. By continually compensating for speed of action, variations in leverage and inertia, DVR provides absolute. scientific resistance.

No other system has it!

Enquirer Sports Reporter Wyoming running back Freddie Jacobs and Colerain quarterback Tim Clifford not only led the city in five offensiTe categories betweeJL them, but they also set seven-year city highs 1n four of the areas.

Jacobs won the city rushing championship with an unbeUeveable 2229 yards and added the city scoring title with 24 touchdowns a'nd 150 points. Since 1969 the most rushing yards was 179'7 by Prfnceton•s Mik~ Gayles in 19'72.

"SECOND: It is the intention of the parties that certain business ventures will be made available to Player during the term of this contract which will create sertain tax shelter which Company guarantees will have the effect of sheltering all of the compensation spelled out above from federal; state and- or local income taxes.

MOeller's strength ·could well be its weakness ...

BY ENOS PENNINGTON Moeller's strength may be its weakness against Youngstown Cardinal Mooney in tomorrow's Class AAA playoff game at Dayton.

During the season,' Moeller's first stringers played only . two full games, played three quarters m two others and· saw only one half of action in the other six games. Even with the second teamers seeing as much action as they did, Moeller still outscored its opposition ~y a demeaning 399-35 margin. . · Mooney enjoyed a 1()..{) season like Moeller but riot without some trying moments, so the firs_t teamers stayed in for most of the games. · "They could have an advantage there since their first team saw much more action and under pressure situations," V:Jeorized Moeller coach Gerry Faust, who probably isn't aU tbat worried about the differ~e in playing time. . "<;letting a lot of YOUt!_l'-r kids playing t1me 1s one of the ~ for our suecess," Faust noted. ·~We work for the next three year$, not jwJt:the present."

Right now, all M~ltr is working for is Cardinal Moo!tey, no doubt the strongest team the Crtfsaders will meet this sea-

son because of the Cardinals' rugged de-

fens~. which has allow~ only 77 yards

rushmg and 47 yards passmg per game.

MOONEY'S DEFENSE has earned ' all the respect Faust is showing. it.' The Ca~din_als held ~ half dozen times inside !?e1~ fi~e-yard hne and Faust ..noted that twice 1t meant the ball game.

"Their defense is excellent," Faust stated. "I saw them on film and in person and they're very agressive and quick like us."

Faust doesn't plan any changes in his attack and plans to utilize his number one weapon: the passing arm of Tim Koegel.

"We passed 20 times a game during the season and we're crazy if we. don't pass against Mooney," Faust said.

Koegel, perhaps the finest hi&h ~choo~ ~arterback to come o~t ·of Cmcmnat1 smce Roger Staubach, 1s a drop back passer who connected on 86 of 148 attempts during the season for 1240 yard_s and 16 touchdowns.

KOEGEL CAN RUN with the ball too but it's against Faust's rules. He hasn't had to scramble much this season behind Moeller's offensive line, headed by big Jim Brown, a 6-4, 270-pound tackle who

f~th

has caught the eye of about every major college in the country.

"We have a ireat offensive line and we're going to use it," Faust said, pointing out that Koegel' was only sacked twice during the season. !)ave Condeni, a 6-1, 172-pound Senior, caught 37 of Koegel's passes for 507 yards and eight touchdowns. Halfback Bob Massong, who rushed for 550 yards in 75 carries, caught 27 passes for 373 yards and five toucrhdowns.

Massong and Steve Givens led Moeller's ground atta~k as seven different backs carried the ball 28 times or more.

Givens, a 6-0, 187-pound senior, gained 551 yards in 106 carries. Chadie Milton gained 404 yards in only 58 carries.

MOELLER ROLLED UP 3700 yards offense during the 10-game season, an average of 219 per game rushing and 150 per game passing. Mooney rqshed for 227 yards per game. The Cardinals hardly ever paS'S but quar!:erback Jeff Bruno can pass, hitting on 26 of SO passes for. 337 yards during the season.

Tickets for -the contest ~re on sale at Moeller High School for $3 and also will be available at Welcome Stadium in Dayton. Game time is 7:30p.m.

Mighty Moeller keeps its foes full of respect

By DAVE LONG Daily News Sports Writer Cincinnati Moeller football Coach Gerry (Fuzzy) Faust missed his calling. He should have been an evangelist or a snake oil sales~ man or maybe even a politi¡ cian. After his speech at the Agonis Club Monday noon at Suttmiller's he would have had some converts, sold some good-for-whatails-ya-medicine or won some votes.

The coach of the State Class AAA High School football champions the last two years spoke on his favorite subject Moeller football. He started slowly, but got rolling and had the crowd knowing why he draws many of Cincinnati's top football players to his school.

Faust is a graduate of Chaminade and the University of Dayton. His father, Fuzzy Faust, coached Chaminade powerhouses for over 25 years. Gerry is football coach, athletic director, in charge of the booster club and in charge of recruiting all the eighth grades in Moeller's district, which takes in most of northwestern Cincinnati.

THE NUMBERS TELL his success: four strai8ht State football playoffs; two straight State playoff titles; a 128-16-2 record; 750 people at $2.50 a pop for the football awards banquet which consists solely of a glass of ice water; 200 kids playing on three levels in the program; 72 players on the varsity, 24 of which should receive some kind of football scholarship; 15 calls a week from parents of junior high players who want their sons to go to Moeller; over 100 students in the third and fourth grades playing flag football sponsored by the Moeller booster club and coached and officiated by Moe !I er players on Saturday afternoons.

There seems to be no end to the formula of success Faust has worked. When Woody Hayes of Ohio State came recruiting last week, Faust told him he thought he would be better off not recruiting All-American quarterback Tim Koegel unless he planned to change the OSU offense. "I told Woody that Timmy is not a running quarterback and I didn't think he would fit into the Ohio State system unless they were planning on passing more," said Gerry. "Timmy is not a running quarterback and I think Woody respected my judgment."

Koegel, a 6-4, 185-pounder, apparently has his choice of colleges down to Rice, California, USC, Nebraska and Notre Dame. Faust will probably continue his success for a few more years at the Big Moe with eight of 11 starters back on defense and enough horses in thP

Tom

Callahan Big Moe WHILE THE season was on, Moeller sheltered its football players from their suitors, whose love notes were stashed away in boxes until last Sunday. When Tim Koegel picked up his mall, there were over 100 letters from colleges that could figure some use for a 6foot-4, 190-pound quarterback.

Just because the last two Koegel boys, Vic and Steve, went to Ohio State, there is an impression Tim wlll follow. It is almost definitely a mistaken impression.

"I asked Steve why he went to Ohio State," Tim related, "and he said, 1f he was going to play college football, he may as well play for the best. I asked him if he had it to do over again, would he still choose Ohio State? He said yes."

As Steve hadn't enjoyed the success of Vic, this impressed Tim enough not to ellminate Ohio State just yet, though his words would seem to.

"I want to go someplace where I can get a good education," he said, "and where they play my kind of of¡fense."

What's his kind of offense? "Pure passer, I guess," he said, a bit sheepishly.

His coach, Gerry Faust, said: "He shouldn't go to Ohio State or any option offense type school. He's a pure passer. He'll be a big-time college quarterback and, someday, a great pro." .It is not unusual to think in such terms at Moeller, a Roman Cathollc high school of 1010 enrollment, including 200 football players.

nr.<t-:AUSE MOELLER currently has the best team in the state, it is suspected of all the Improprieties Paul Brown's Massillon teams, Bron Bacevich's Roger Bacon teams and all good teams always have been.

"They think we must be recruiting and giving out scholarships," ¡tcknowledged Faust, who denies both charges. He does not deny that success breeds success.

"In the last 10 weeks," he said, "I've received about 30 phone calls from parents. They think their kid's a good athlete. They think he'd be exposed more here. He would be.

"And they think he will be exposed more to college coaches here.

He will be. Plus we have great academics."

What does he tell these parents?

"I tell them they have to move into the district," Faust said, insisting: "We're not going to go and solicit them."

By male enrollment, Moeller is the second smallest school in the Greater Cincinnati League, drawing from a district encompassing a dozen medium-sized parishes and every economic class rich to poor.

Tuition is $580-a-year.

In the 17-year history of the school ( 14 senior classes), the football team has won 128, lost 16 and tied two. Victories came instantly.

The first seniors went 9-l, losing only to undefeated Bacon and Bacevich.

"We were lucky," recalled Faust, the Crusaders' coach since the beginning.

"THE BIGGEST reason we win is that our kids are really dedicated," said the head of what is really a 12man coaching staff.

"But that's misleading," he contended. "On the varsity, there are five coaches plus myself. Three for the sophs. Three for the freshmen.

We have 200 kids playing football."

Faust added: "We really work at," describing the labor as nearly continuous. In a week, the players commence ''quickness and weight traming." In January, they begin ballet lessons.

Asked if it wasn't getting too big, Faust responded: "How can It be too big?"

In the last 14 years, 197 college scholarships have been won by Moeller football players. Between 150 and 200 college representatives visit the school annually to view film set up on three projectors, study performance sheets and college transcripts. .

Wednesday, they were swarming.

Among schools represented were Notre Dame, Indiana, Marshall, Virginia, the Naval Academy, North Carollna State, Louisville and South Carolina.

Some scouts talked with Koegel, who said knowingly: "My brothers had a lot of people after them, and I learned quite a bit."

Basketball practice is starting and, while Koegel says he is not a great basketball player, he is a fervent one, co-captain of the team. It sounds as If he would like to be left alone to start basketball.

"And to enjoy this while I can," he added.

Koegel commented he is glad the college recruiters ar¡e kept away during the season.

"They'd be here all year around f you'd let them," said Faust.

Players Of Year

AAA Honor Shared

By Koegel, Brown COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Tim Koegel and Jim Brown, two of the sparks for state champion Cincinnati Moeller, are The Associated Press' Ohio Class AAA high school football Players of the Year.

Koegel, considered by some as the best prep quarterback in the country, passed for 1512 yards and 21 touchdowns this fall, including five scoring aerials in two playoff pmR ' .

Brown, at <ti-foot-4 and 270 pounds, is another senior highly sought by the nation's major colleges. The huge offensive tackle was one of the reasons Koegel was sacked only three times in 12 ga,mes.

Bill Ricco, who led Walsh Jesuit to 10 straight victories, nine of them shutouts, earned the Ohio Class AAA Coach of the Year laurels.

Ricco, whose team gave up only a fourth quarter field,goalin the final game, beat out Fred Zechman of Washington Court House Miami Trace, Mike Schneider of Miamisburg, Bob Fearing of Columbus Brookhaven and Ron Apperson of Zanesville.

OAK HILL- Before the season started, Oak Hill High School senior tailback Tim Williams told his ·coach he would gain more yards in 1976 than 0. J. Simpson did in 1975.

Since "The Juice" rambled for 2,003 yards in that recordbreaking campaign, even Williams considered his prediction to be nothing more than a joke. There's always room for levity in the preseason.

After all, Williams had rushed for only 800 yards in a rather obscure junior year.

But, the joke became reality.

Tim Williams, Oak Hill On Nov. 12, in Oak Hill's season finale against New Boston, Tim the Ohio Valley Conference gained 279yards on 41 carries to <OVC), Williams rushed 2,090 yards, tops in Ohio this season. surpass the 2,000 yards mark Williams, not to be confused and 0. J. In leading the Oaks to an 8-2 with twin brother and wingback season and a second place tie in Jon Williams, toted the pigskin

average, for Oak Hill, a Class A school located in the southeastern part of the state in southern Jackson County.

Williams is as surprised about his amazing year as anybody.

"My goal before the season started," admits the handsome and affable tailback," was to gain 1,000 yards."

O..Jk-Hill's first-year coach ~rry Belli,_?ho was an assistant CQ&ch _j!Y1lliiance High School last season, believe Tim's greatest asset as a runner is his instincts.

"He has outstanding quickness for a high school back," Belli says," and can react to the defense after it has reacted to him."

"He's a potential touchdown every time he touches the ball," (Continued on Page 2)

Coaches Agree to Back Ohio Football News The board of directors of the Ohio High School Football Coaches' Association voted 15-1 at their meeting Dec. 3-4 in Columbus to support Ohio Football News next season through member subscriptions.

Membership in 1977 to the association for HEAD coaches will be $10.00, of which $5.00 will go for a season subscription to Ohio Footban News.

rush

William~ .Rwhes (Continued from Page n Belli continues, noting that Williams averaged a touchdown once every 13 carries.

Belli's contention is validated

by Tim's scoring statistics. the 62, 17o-pound blond ran for 24 touchdowns, scored 22 extra points and kicked two field goals for a total of 172 points. This total ranks him second in Ohio.

Competing against the predominately larger schools in the OVC didn't seem to hamper Tim's productivity. Statistically, his best game was a 3oo-yard, and five-touchdown performance against Ironton St. Joseph.

He's gained at least 107 rushing yards in every game and rolled up 200 yards or more five times.

He scored four touchdowns against New Boston and tallied three TD's in three other contests.

What were the factors that transformed Williams from just another halfback to the leading rusher in the state? Tim gives the credit to Coach Belli, the !formation and a new-found confidence.

Belli's first move was to shift the Oaks from a Split-T to a Power-I offense- which proved very advantageous to Williamsand Oak Hill, who had sputtered to a- 3-5-2 finish in 1975.

Being in the up, rather than the down position made all the difference. "I'm able to read holes much better and I can see the play developing," Williams ROints out. ::i:::::;;.:=::.:=:::::=::Ohl~=:::=:::=:::::::;:::::=:=:::

Although Oak Hill had one of its finest seasons ever, Belli insists Williams got most of his yards on his own ability and determination.

"We haven't blocked well all year," confesses Belli.

It is more than ironical that Williams. almost didn't play football this sea8on. An all-OVC selection on last season's 2o-2 Oaks' basketball team, Tim had decided to skip the gridiron his senior year so that he could concentrate on the hoop sport.

"Tim just does not want to be associated withy any thing less than a first-class program,~' Belli said. "He's just that kind of kid."

"I liked his concept of the game and his positive attitude. He told us we were going to be a winner," Williams recalls.

Williams, a 3.75 student, does not restrict his athletic ability and confidence - to football and basketball. He was state finalist last spring in th~ 880-yard run.

skilled personnel I've ever seen on a_ high school football team."

Tipton also had words of praise for two seniors - guard Tom Steiner and defensive end Blaine Smith.

Steiner (5-8, 165), is a three· year starter, and a 4.0 student.

"He typifies our whole team," said Tipton, "because he's a very physical player."

Smith (5-11, 162) is rather small for a defensive end, but be compensates with unusual strength. He can bench press 300 pounds.

How does Orrville's football future look?

"We've got everybody back at the skilled positions," said Tipton, "and if we can find some replacements on the line, we'll be just as good as we were this season.

"I believe in off-season work" he continued. "That's where you develop yourseH physically, and that's an indicator of how good you want to be."

Moeller, E. Catholic and W. Jefferson win 1976 Playoff Titles Mighty Cincinnati Moeller, Elyria Catholic and West Jefferson reign as 1976 champions of Ohio.

Moeller's powerful machine, sparked by quarterback Tim Koegel's three first-half touchdowns, smothered Gahanna Lincoln 43-5 for the Class AAA title before 7,468 in Akron's Rubber Bowl Nov. 26.

With 5-9, 185-pound tailback Bryan Thomas rushing for 287 yards and scoring three scores, Elyria Catholic defeated Brookville 34-10 Nov. 27 for the AA title before5,093. West Jefferson rolled to a 21-o victory over Ashtabula St. John for the A crown as 1,358 watched.

Moeller proved it was a super team. The Fighting Crusaders became the first team to win back-to-back titles and its 38-point victory margin was the widest in the five-year history of the playoffs in AAA. "It's a great football, alright," said Gerry (Fuzzy) Faust who has compiled a staggering 128-16-2 record in 16 years at Moeller. His team now has won 24 straight and 44 of its last 46 games. "I think it's the best team we've ever had and we've had some great ones." · Not many would disagree with Faust.

Neal Billman, Gahanna coach, also was impressed with Moeller, which limited Gahanna's standout l1l11Jler Tim O'Cain to just eight yards in 16 carries. O'Cain had gained nearly 1,400 yards during the regular season.

"I've coached for 14 seasons and this is the best team I've ever seen," Billman said, "Not just athletes but well coached. I was proud of our kids, but we knew Moeller was a machine."

Koegel, voted Ohio's Back of the Year by the AP, tossed TD passes of 54, 19 and four yards to spark his team to a 28-o halftime lead. He finished the night by hitting 11 of 17 for 147 yards. Supporting Koegel were Steve Givens and Bob Massong who each scored twice as Moeller rolled up 381 total yards-234 on the ground while holding Gahanna to 72 rushing and just 33 passing by Moeller's swarming defense.

Thomas was brilliant for Elyria Catholic. In addition to his 287 rushing yards he had a 95yard kickoff return; completed a "20-yard pass and accounted for 402 yards.

West Jefferson, from the Columbus area, capitalized on three St. John fumbles.

Fullback Ross Shipley, a 6-2, 205-pounder, scored once for Jefferson and rushed for 100 yards in 27 carries.

Jeff Merklin scored the other Jefferson TD's, both of runs of one yard.

The only disappointing thing about the playoffs was the total attendance of 13,919 for the three games.

Canfield Fullback Scores 30 TD's

Tillery is Scoring Champion ByEDCHAY "It's what he does when he's not carrying the football, his faking and blocking, that makes him a great back," said Canfield Coach Sam Daivs about John Tillery.

Tillery, a fiix·foot, 200-pound senior fullback, is Ohio's 1976 .state scoring champion with 182 points.

The hard-running Tillery is a three-year starter. A co-captain for the Fighting Cardinals and a B student, he scored 30 touchdowns, 29 by rushing, and has a two-point conversion.

Tillery is also one of the state's top ground-gainers, rushing for 1,424 yards in 189 carries for a 7.5 average. He also has 170 yards on passes for 1,595 total offense in leading his team to an 8-2 record ..

Canfield is a Class AAA school in Mahoning County.

Davis, who completed his third season of coaching_ at Canfield,

area's Back of the Year last week, topped the state scorers by a handy margin.

Finishing second .in the scoring race was senior tailback Tim Williams of Oak Hill, a Class A school in Jackson County, who tallied 172 points on 24· touchdowns, 22 extra points and two field goals.

Williams, at 6-2, 170 pounds, is Ohio's leading rusher with 2,090 yards.

John Tillery,

said Tillery's faking and blocking has been exceptional.

"He's a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletesand is very coachable," says Davis. · Tillery, voted the Youngstown

Pressing Williams in the scoring derby were Tim Campbell of Dayton Meadowdale and Mark Griggs of Orrville. Each score!I 170 pounts.

The scoring leaders were compiled by Ohio Football News staff from information mailed in by coaches and league statisticians and by extensive telephone survey.

OAK HILL- Before the season started, Oak Hill High School senior tailback Tim Williams told his coach he would gain more yards in 1976 than 0. J. Simpson did in 1975.

Since "The Juice" rambl~ for 2,003 yards in that record· breaking campaign, even Williams considered his prediction to be nothing more than a joke. There's always room for levity in the preseason.

After all, Williams had rushed for only 800 yards in a rather obscure junior year.

But, the joke became reality.

On Nov. 12, in Oak Hill's season finale against New Boston, Tim gained 279 yards on 41 carries to surpass the 2,000 yards mark and 0. J. In leading the Oaks to an 8-2 season and a second place tie in

Tim Williams, Oak Hill

the Ohio Valley Conference <OVC), Williams rushed 2,090 yards, tops in Ohio this season.

Williams, not to be confused with twin brother and wingback Jon Williams, toted the pigskin

6.8

average, for Oak Hill, a Class A school located in the southeastern part of the state in southern Jackson Cotmty.

Williams is as surprised about his amazing year as anybody.

"My goal before the 'season started," admits the handsome and affable tailback," was to gain 1,000 yards."

Oak Hill's first-year coach Terry Belli, who was an assistant coach at Alliance High School last season, believe Tim's greatest asset as a runner is his instincts.

"He has outstanding quickness for a high school back," Belli says," and can react to the defense after it has reacted to him."

"He's a potential touchdown every time he touches the ball," <Continued on Page 2)

.Coaches Agree to Back Ohio Football News The board of directors of the Ohio High School Football Coaches' Association voted 15-1 at their meeting Dec. 3-4 in Columbus to support Ohio Football News next season through member subscriptions.

Membership in 1977 to the association for HEAD coaches will be $10.00, of which $5.00 will go for a season subscription to Ohio Football News. Assistant coaches will pay $5.00 for a membership to the OHSFCA, and if they wish they can order a subscription on their own. All are encouraged to subscribe, it was urged by the directors.

The executive board delayed until Sunday, Dec. 12 a decision on ·the site of the Aug. 5 NorthSouth AU-star football game.

Columbus, which hosted the last two games and incured a deficit both times, still wants to host the game in 1977.

Chuck Burner, Game Director in Columbus from Westerville, has until Dec. 12 to show be has financial backing to make the 1977 game a success. Last year's game had a deficit of $8,381.47 largely because the crowd was held down because of a downpour. The attendance in Ohio Stadium was 6,060.

A bid from Canton was presented by Lou Venditti, secretary-treasurer of the association, to return the classic there but no action was taken until Burner makes a new report to the directors Dec. 12.

Venditti reported the

association had 1,516 members this season, which is slightly down from last year.

It was also announced that the Ohio High School Athletic Association plans a referendum vote in Dec., 1977, to determine the feasibility of holding a separate parochial and public computer playoff.

At present all schools are combined in one and there is some opposition to the system since parochial schools have dominated the playoffs. Seven of the 12 schools in this year's playoffs were parochial schools with Cincinnati Moeller and Elyria Catholic winning the AAA and AA titles, respectively.

<Continued from Page I) Belli continues, noting that Williams averaged a touchdown once every 13 carries.

Belli's contention is validated

by Tim's scoring statistics. the 62, 170-pound blond ran for 24 touchdowns, scored 22 extra points and kicked two field goals for a total of 172 points. This total ranks him second in Ohio.

Competing against the predominately larger schools in the OVC didn't seem to hamper Tim's productivity. Statistically, his best game was a 300-yard, and five-touchdown performance against Ironton St. Joseph.

He's gained at least 107 rushing yards in ·every game and rolled up 200 yards or more five times.

He scored four touchdowns against New Boston and tallied three TD's in three other contests.

What were the factors that transformed Williams from just another halfback to the leading rusher in the state'? Tim gives the credit to Coach Belli, the !formation and a new-found confidence.

Belli's first move was to shift the Oaks from a Split-T to a Power-I offense - which proved very advantageous to Williamsand Oak Hill, who had sputtered to a 3-5-2 finish in 1975.

Being in the up, rather than the down position made all the difference. "I'm able to read holes much better and I can see the play developing," Williams

Although Oak Hill had one of its finest seasons ever, Belli insists Williams got most of his yards on his own ability and determination.

"We haven't blocked well all year," confesses Belli.

It is more than iionical that Williams almost didn't play football this sea8on. An all-OVC selection on last season's 20-2 Oaks' basketball team, Tim had decided to skip the gridiron his senior year so that he could concentrate on the hoop sport.

"Tim just does not want to be associated withy any thing less than a first-class program," Belli said. "He's just that kind of kid."

"I liked his concept of the game and his positive attitude. He told us we were going to be a winner," Williams recalls.

Williams. a 3.75 student, does not restrict his athletic ability and confidence - to football and basketbalL He was state finalist last spring in the 880-yard run.

High-Powered Orrville Delivers ByPATGALBINCEA ORRVILLE - The city of Orrville can produce something other than a good brand of jelly.

Football connoisseurs enjoyed the taste of an undefeated season at Orrville High. The Red Raiders won the All-Ohio Conference title in the league's initial season with a 9-0-1 record.

It's been said that statistics don't tell the true story of a team's strength, but they do in Orrville's case. The Red Raiders outscored their opponents, 320 to 53, and outgained them in total offensive yardage, 3,262 to 1,700.

If you think the accomplishments surprised Orrville coach Mo Tipton, you're wrong.

"We expected to have a great season," said Tipton. "We had 18 returning starters. Three of them are major college material. Any coach would expect to have a big year with the kind of talent I had the pleasure to work with."

The three star seniors coveted by college recruiters are the coach's son, two-way tackle Scot Tipton (6-1, 230), center Bob Murtha (6-3, 205) and split end Doug Davault (5-8, 155).

"Davault is the finest allaround athlete I've ever coached in my 16 years here," said Tipton.

"He was a quarterback as a

skilled personnel I've ever seen on ahigh school football team."

Tipton also had words of praise for two seniors - guard Tom Steiner and defensive end Blaine Smith.

Steiner (5-8, 165), is a threeyear starter, and a 4.0 student.

"He typifies our whole team," said Tipton, "because he's a very physical player."

Smith (5-11, 162) is rather small for a defensive end, but he compensates with unusual strength. He can bench press 300 pounds.

How does Orrville's footballfuture look?

"We've got everybody back at the skilled positions," said Tipton, "and if we can find some replacements on the line, we'll be just as good as we were this season.

"I believe in off-season work" he continued. "That's where you develop yourself physically, and that's an indicator of how good you want to be."

sophomore, a split end as a senior, and I feel he's the best placekiCker in Ohio."

In Orrville's 37-13 victory in the season finale over Wooster- a rivalry which dates back to 1903 -Davault booted a 43-yard field goal.

On the season Davault rushed for 171 yards on 32 carries, caught 21 passes for 280 yards, and threw two option passes for touchdowns. He wound up scoring 80 points.

Scot Tipton is as good as his father claims. As a junior he was an All-Ohio honorable mention.

Besides a defense which posted six shutouts, the key to Orrville's success was an all-junior offensive backfield.

Heading the group was running back Mark Griggs, Ohio's leading scholastic scorer in 1976 with 170 points. Griggs (6-2, 177) also set all-time Orrville records with 1,355 yards rushing and an 8.2 average per carry.

Fullback Kelly Handwerk (6-0, 202) gained 502 yards with a 5.2 average per carry while flanker Todd Scott (5-9, 160) caught 19 passes for 225 yards and a touchdoWn. The latter earned allleague honors as a sophomore when Orrville was a member of the Chippewa Conference.

The quarterback is Brent Dewitz, who Tipton says possesses a "super arm." Dewitz completed 70 of 127 passes for 932 yards and nine touchdowns.

Another talented junior is tight end-linebacker Craig Pack (6-2, 210), the team's leading tackler.

He also caught 21 passes for 289 yards and three touchdowns, and runs the 50-yard dash in 4.7.

"We sure have some outstanding individuals," beamed Tipton. "In fact, I'm inclined to ~lieve we have the most ideal

Moeller, E. Catholic and W. Jefferson win 1976 Playoff Titles Mighty Cincinnati Moeller, Elyria Catholic and West Jefferson reign as 1976 champions of Ohio.

Moeller's powerful machine, sparked by quarterback Tim Koegel's three first-half touchdowns, smothered Gahanna Lincoln 43-5 for the Class AAA title before 7,468 in Akron's Rubber Bowl Nov. 26.

With 5-9, 185-pound tailback Bryan Thomas rushing for 287 yards and scoring three scores, Elyria Catholic defeated Brookville 34-10 Nov. 27 for the AA title before 5,093. West Jefferson rolled to a 21-0 victory over Ashtabula St. John for the A crown as 1,358 watched.

Moeller proved it was a super team. The Fighting Crusaders became the first team to win back-to-back titles and its 38-point victory margin was the widest in the five-year history of the playoffs in AAA. "It's a great football, alright," said Gerry <Fuzzy) Faust who has compiled a staggering 128-16-2 record in 16 years at Moeller. His team now has won 24 straight and 44 of its last 46 games. "I think it's the best team we've ever had and we've had some great.ones."

Not many would disagree with Faust.

Neal Billman, Gahanna coach, also was impressed with Moeller, which limited Gahanna's standout runner Titn O'Cain to just eight yards in 16 carries. O'Cain had gained nearly 1,400 yards during the regular season.

"I've coached for 14 sea8ons and this is the best team I've ever seen;" Billman said, "Not just athletes but well coached. I was proud of our kids, but we knew Moeller was a machine."

Koegel, voted Ohio's Back of the Year by the AP, tossed TD passes of 54, 19 and four . yards to spark his team to a 28-0 halftime lead. He finished the night by hitting 11 of 17 for 147 yards; Supporting Koegel were Steve Givens and. Bob Massong who each scored twice as Moeller rolled up 381 total yards-234 on the ground while holding Gahanna to 72 rushing and just 33 passing by Moeller's swarming defense.

Thomas was brilliant for Elyria Catholic. In addition to his 287 rushing yards he had a 95yard kickoff return; completed a .20-yard pass and accounted for 402 yards.

West Jefferson, from the Columbus area, capitalized on three St. John fumbles.

Fullback Ross Shipley, a 6-2, 205-pounder, scored once for Jefferson and rushed for 100 yards in 27 carries.

Jeff Merklin scored the other Jefferson .

TD's, both of runs of one yard.

The only disappointing thing about the playoffs was the total attendance of 13,919 for the three games.

he top c.ollegiate ·halfback of the 1976 football season, without a _ doubt, is Tony Dorsett of the University of Pittsburgh. He already has ~tablished a new rushing record for NCAA colleges with well over 5500 yards gained from scrimmage. Four years ago, Dorsett was on.e of 50 players selected to the annual PARADE AllAmerican High School Football Team.

College recruiters who koow high school players best are betting that his successor will be Robert Alexander of South Charleston (W.Va.) High School.

They picked him as back of the year.

With thousands of boys participating, selections for the 51 PARADE finalists were perhaps more difficult than ever before. Nominations were received Jrom all sections of the nation through sportswriters and broadcasters who cover high school competition. How-

We11, because I use "smokeless tobacco:' All it takes is a pinch of "smokeles~" in between my cheek and gum. Feels real relaxing in there. And I get full, rich tobacco pleasure.

Another thing is, "smokeless tobacco" can't tie up my ~hands. So I can use it no matter what I'm doing.

If you'd like to go "smokeless:· here's what you do. Just look for three great brands.

There's Skoal, my favorite, which has a wintergreen taste.

Copenhagen, a straight tobacco. And Happy Days Mint.

All three give you the tobacco pleasure you're looking for.

Taylor is the lineman of the year.

Only one junior was picked this year, and observers who have followed his trail contend that Clark Broaddus of Brazoswood High S~hoo'i in Freeport, Tex., a linebacker and center, may be the next Bulldog Turner to l'tnerge from the .Lone Star State.

As is the case every year, several players might have been picked but failed to make the squad due to injuries sustained early in the season.

Texas leads the way with seven, while California sends six representatives.

Burton "has great potential but must become more aggressive, if we are to become a winner," says Phillips, · Some who may move in are sophomores Lee Reed, a guard, and Scott Inskeep, a 6-4; 205-pound forward, as well as 6c3 senior forward BobVaske. · "On paper our team seems to meas]lre up rather well," says Phil~ lips. '?Average _to good size, good ballhandlers, good, team quickness and several good shooters."

New Northwest head coach Stu Miller is likely to. find the s~me old. story in the H,amilton County Am·erican Division: a tough schedule and a hard climb up the ladder.

"We· expect' to: be .competitive in ·our league. Once again it appears that the HCA will be well-balanced," says. Miller. He returns a starter in big (6~oot-6, 215-pound) Tim Townsend, .who averaged over 12 points and 12 re'bounds,,and has good size in 6-4 center Mike Burton, 6-5 junior Gary Seyberth and 6-3 senior forward Rich Ries.

New Wyoming coach Tom Johnson will play 'the no-star system this · year, and says firmly, "The success . of our team depends on.whether the,· team c·an mesh into a solid unit early enough in t-he season."

Johnson does point out, "We . have possibly one of the better, players ih the city in (6-foot~4 forward) senior Jamie Boone, as well as several unproven players who as theY. improve through the .s~ason could be an important factor."

The. Knights also have good experience, with 10 seniors trying out.

With four returning starters and ··the city's 11th highest-scorer back, Taylor hopes to be wily as a fox ... make that Art Fox. The red-haired 6-foot-3 swingman leads an experienced. grotip that has decent size and could be the sleeper in the HCN. "With the right attitude and hard work, we· could be one ot the contenders for the league," says coach Gary Vaughn. · .Fox averaged 18.1 ppg, and he tan shoot from anywhere. Backing -him up are 6-5, 220-pound center : Bob Spronk, like Taylor a two-year ·· letterman, forward Ron Kraus and guards Stu GiUham and Bob Engels.

For backup, there are such juniors as 6"4, 200-pound Rick Strasser. ; 6-2 center Rick Franz and 6-2 for: ward Tony Coulter.

· As far as Aiken }s concerned, it's no more Mr. Nice Guy on everybody's schedule. After three years as the bearskin rug of the Public Hijsh.

League, the. bear ~s about ready to. resuscitate and bite back.

Second-year coach Sam lonna- isn't making any bold claims, but he says, ''We have made considerable progress in a year's time. Whether or not we have caught up with the teams on our tough schedule remains to be seen. We hope to _be much more competitive and exciting for our fans to watch this year."

Aiken went with several sophomores last year, and it may pay off, especially in the case of Bobby Austin, who was the Falcons' high scorer over the second half of the season, and finished off averaging 14.1 points and 11.4 rebounds.

Randy Goff is anotner returning starter who's only a· junior, and 6foot-8\6 center John Patterson is back in one piece after missing most of last year with an injury."

Senior guard Tim Anderson lettered, and leaping 6-3 forward Steve Wise has been added after some stormy times last season. ."We are still in the rebuilding stage With our program at Aiken.

We are still a very young and inexperienced team," says lonna. Bu.t beware. TJ;lis year's Falcons may make like a Phoenix and rise from the ashes. · '

There's height in' 6-6 junior center Randy Walton and 6-4 senior forward Curtis Fenty, but, says Friedman, "the taller players don't seem quite ready to step in and hold their own at this time. We hope they will by season's end."

Hence, Friedman is counting on speed and quickness. "We are basically small and don't have the j:nJ.lk or muscle of preYious years. This may cause problems in rebounding and guard- . ing the l;lig man," he says.

But ... "jumping ability is good. We should be an exciting team to watch-win or l.ose. A lot depends on leadership of our seniors and development of our tall men. We are a young tetlm and experience· gained during the· season should help us improve."

The key to the team could be the enigmatic Sutherlin. "He can do•it all,'' Andrews reports, but some· of what he's done in the past hasn't always been in the rllles. If he can puH the reins on himself, Suthei:lin could be the best player, .inch for. inch, in the city. At 6-2, he can: dunk over the shouldElr, and he had explosive games against some of the· top teams last year. · · ..

Watch for Withrow to shoot more and enjoy it more. While coach Mike Ferone moans, ''This is the first team at Withrow that I can ever remember not having a great deal of height," ·he expects to compensate with quickness, and adds, "We are a much better shooting team this year."

All the Tigers did last year was win the league title: .

The heigllt department does have sophomore center LaSalle Thompson, 6-foot-7, and 6-4 senior forwards Roy Ander' son and Carl Reid. But the only real experience belongs to 5-8 guard Mike Jarman, oWhO rang up 4.5 assists per game as a sophomore. Three guards, in fact, are under 5-10.

"We are young and I hope we can improve in the beginning of the year enough to make us a contender for the Public High School League," says Ferone.

' Nine lettermen are back, including thitd~year veterans Dave Gordon, last year's scoring leader at 10.9, and .Duane Sears.

Always a factor in the Eastern Hiils League, Loveland will be going out th'is year predominantly with juniors. "They have been reasonably successful on the lower levels. They. ·now have a new and tough endeav-or-to play against many experi• enced seniors in our. league," says 'coach Charlie Harker. · The .Tigers lost four starters, returning only co-captain Keith Hawk, a scrambling 5-foot-7 guard.

Others with experience include eocaptain Tim Partin, a 6-l forward, 6-2.center Jim Jolley and 5-10 sen· iofs Don Ayers and Larry Schild.meyer. · , The tallest.player on the squad is 6-3 junior center Walt Kroener.

The average height of the.seniors ,, .is under ·six. feet, says Harker. "We will be the type of team that will improve with each game. Even though we lack size and experience', . we will be a confident and deter.,mined ballclub that will put forth considerable effort in every game thatweplay." · '

. Replacing a set of superstars is the only problem facing McNicholas coach Jerry Doerge.r. But tJ;l.en, the Rockets do return: three lettermen.

Prep Title~ 43-5

Crusaders Pulverize Gahanna For 2d Title

By AL DROOZ Enquirer Sports Reporter AKRON - Gary Gilmore should play Moeller. He'd get his death wish.

The Crusaders wiped out a previously undefeated Gahanna football squad, 43-5, Friday night before 7468 fans in Akron's Rubber Bowl to run their state championship string to two. It's the longest, and only, such string in state history.

The victory was Moeler's 12th ~his season, and the stars were many. The ringleaders were quarter-back Tim Koegel, who was magnificent, and the entire defense led by middle linebacker Bob Crable.

After Moeller was stopped on its first possession, Koegel gave notice of what was to come with a 54-yard touchdown bomb to running back Bob Massong. That started an onslaught that produced a 27-3 halftime margin and two more touchdowns in the second half.

BEDLEM BROKE loose after the game, as Moeller players and fans swamped the field. In accepting the trophy symbolizing the state Class AAA title, head coach Gerry Faust told the crowd, the emptying stands ·and the gods above, "This is the best darned team in the country-and don't anybody forget it."

The gods could do naught but agree, because with this win, Moeller takes its place on high school football's Mt. Olympus. Some say it sits in judgment of the rest.

"I think this is the best team we've ever had," a grinning F'aust , admitted almost grudgingly.

"Character makes winners ... this year's team and last year's both had it. This one just had more ability."

Asked to compare his feelings after each title, Faust said, ''The second is just as great."

The game began in ~he f:~llisP of !!. contest, the teams trading possessions and Gahanna showing some hard hitting. In fact, after Koegel's lightning strike, Gahanna came back early in the second quarter with a 31-yard field goal, and the lead was only 7-3.

BUT THAT was short-lived. With Koegel hitting 10 of 15 passes in the half for 151 yards, Moeller began to chew up large expanses of ground and Steve Givens bulled his way 19 yards for a touchdown, the first of three scores in the second quarter.

Two plays after Givens' TD, a Gahanna fumbled, giving up the

ball on its own 36, Moeller stalled mbmenta.rily, but Koegel, faced with fourth-and-five, tossed a 19yard scoring dart to Dave Condeni.

Two plays after that, linebacker Karl Woods intercepted a pass and took it to the Gahanna 44 with 58 seconds left. Koegel than completed four passes in a row and five of eight, the fifth being a four-yard touchdown pass to Condeni with a second left. The score ballooned to 27-3.

Faust said the two-minute drill is a weekly item of practice, and added, "I thought it was an important thing- right there to delate them."

TO GAHANNA'S credit, at least in the eves of head coach Neal Billman, the Lions never did totally deflate.' "The kids were mismatched, maybe, but they gave it everything they had," he said.

"Moeller was typical of all great teams - when they had an opportunity, they capitalized on lt, and they certainly took advantage of every opportunity they had."

Iri rating the Crusaders, B1llman - whose own team has won four league championships in five years - said, "I don't think there's been • anything like it."

Moeller added a third-period touchdown on another sprightly 19yard run by Givens, who bowled over several defenders on the way.

"You just keep your legs going," Givens grinned through the thickening cigar smoke in the jubilant room. · Two straight safeties closed out the third quarter, and Gahanna had the consolation of achieving two firsts - the first sack of Koegel this year and the first safety on Moeller ever. It hardly mattered by that time.

Moeller's last touchdown, a twoyard run by Terry ElmUnger, put Lhe CruSaders ever 40 poini.s for tn~ second straight playoff game, and when it ended, the Crusaders erupted.

AKRON, Ohio- Amid the noise of an improvised Moeller High chorus, it was difficult to single out the real superstar of the Crusaders" 43-5 rout of Gahanna Lincoln in the' Class .AAA state championship game F:riday. . · ·, "Superstar, superstar," sang the· Moeller squad, "we're No.1 a.nd we. know·we are." And while the en.tire am deserved oak leaf clusters for ~ts second consecutive O}lio prep.

1crown, a large share of the credit 1had to belong to the defensive line :and linebackers. : "We just got after them," smiled.

John Parker, who coaches Moeller's defensive linemen. "All week long, the media has been talking about· how great (quarterback Tim) Koeg e I and, (offensive tackle Jim) Brown are, just ignored the defense.

Well, that got us fired up. We pride ourselves on having a super defense." .

And a super tlefense it was. In' the first half, Moeller held Gahanna. , to a mere five offensive yards whilei 'the more-noticed offensive unit was'' building a 27-3 lead.

"The play of Bob Crable was real fine," pointed out Blll Straub, who ~an~les the Moeller linebackers.

He s the finest defensive player Moeller has ever had."

I.

"CRABLE IS.· the finest llnebakcker in the State of Ohio" ~chimed in Moeller head coach Ger~y :Faust. . ; Crable, who plays in the middle Iis'one of three Crusader linebacker~ whose play Friday night was noth,ing short of ferocious. Crable, a JunIor, is somewhat light at 200 pounds ,but h~ intercepted a pass and eliminated vaunted Gahanna runner Tim O'Cain as an offensive threat.

"I was primarily keying on the •big runner, O'Caln," Crable said. 0'Cain managed just seven yards on 16 rushes. But Crable would not confirm that he always draws .the toughest defensive assignments. · '"Our coaches are really great scouts,'' he said. "And they pick up :n~~ keys. I just do what they tell

. Editor's note: With the weather we're apt to have this winter, judging froin . our "fall" frigidity, ice skating will become a popular sports outdoors; as · well as in the rinks.

For that reason, we have asked· Rita and Dave · Lowery1 nationally renown. ed skatmg experts, who are master professionals Jlt Golden Skates Ice Center ·. in Sharonville, to provide our readers with tips con• cerning skating.

Here · is the first of a series to appear often in these pages:

· it, people of 90 are still active in the sport. As an exhilarating family pastime, it has tio equaL Your first thought should . be obtaining the best equipment av.ailable to you in your own price. range.

Remember there is no such thing as "weak ankles."

Actually, it is not a matter ·of strength of ankles, but of .balance, as in riding a bicycle.

Well-fitted boots are usually onefull size smaller than your regular street shoe size (please .. , no need · to stuff the boot with extra heavy socks. Regular light weight wool socks, allowing your toes to wiggle, will keep yqur feet plenty warni). · ._ Figure skates are lower to ·the ice than hockey skates and you will have less tendency to go over on your ankles. ··While fitting skating boots, it ·-is-well to remember that such a boot does not bend, as an ordinary walking boot does, so that the foot ·does not need room to slide, as it ·would in walking shoes.

Thus, the need for ·.a Snug fit.

Skate .guards should ·be used for walking to and from the ice to protect the blade edges. When finiShed skating, be sure to-wipe the · blades dry but do not put guards on. for storage as trapped moisture inside can cause rusting.
