It was the turning point." Lewis installed the play earlier this week just for this game.

"We practiced it every day," said Searcy. "I was hoping I'd get to throw. I knew we could score on it." Searcy, the city's second-leading ground-gainer, had been limited to 26 yards rushing in the first half, and Jacobs, who ranks third, had only 18 in seven tries. Fred, the brother of former Wyoming all-city back Norm Jacobs, broke loose in the second half. He raced 67 yards for a TD with 9:17 left in the third period and later added scoring runs of 15 and 40 yards.

He finished the night with 215 yards in 15 carries 198 on seven in the second half. "Mr. Lewis told us at half-time that Wyoming was By DENNY DRESSMAN Enquirer Sports Reporter City scoring leader Greg Searcy of Wyoming, a halfback by trade, has thrown only two passes in his high school career. The first one fell incomplete last season, but the second went for a 75-yard touchdown with exactly two minutes left in the first hair Friday night and ignited an awesome, 51-8 rout of Greenhills before a record crowd of 4000 at Wyoming Stadium. In a game of big plays the Cowboys scored five times from distances of 30 yards or more as they ran their record to 9-0 and wrapped up the Hamilton County League National Division championship.

Wyoming's biggest point total of the season resulted in the first Greenhills loss of the year. Searcy stunned the Pioneers less than two minutes Wlthrow, 22-7. The Tigers Jumped to a quick 7-d first period lead on a Joby Merten to Georgd Triceps 2i-vard Dass. Russ Williams and Klrw Springs teamed up later in the period K'46 yard aerial and when Williams ran for the two-point conversion, the Bulldogs had the good. Deer Park Routs Loveland- Deer Park set an avalanche of school rectfrda in routing Loveland, 52-14, for their first win ever over the Tigers.

The victors piled up an arriazing 515 total yards, while holding the hapless Tigers to 97.

Mariemont Wins EHL Pat Byrne put on one of the best performances of the season in a losing cause- for McNicholas as the Rockets bowed to Newport Catholic In a wild affair, 44-38.

Byrne passed, for 333 yards and five touchdowns on 22 completions in 35 attempts. He also scorea me aaomer Mcmck "You get two easy touchdowns at the start like that and you tend to let down," Lewis said. "We were a little foggy at first," agreed quarterback Mike McCracken. Greenhills struck fora bomb of its own with 2:16 left in the first half when Ron Shiver hit Eric Lampl for a 45-yard TD pass Lampl's first scoring reception of the year. It appeared that play might spark a Greenhills comeback, but Searcy changed that on the next play.

Taking a handoff from McCracken, he floated his first completion in history to end Brian Smith, who outraced a startled Greenhills secondary the final 45 of the 75 yards to make it 21-8. "It was a key call," Lewis gasped. "We needed a big one after they scored on that pass. If it had stayed 15-8 at on its 20 yard-line. The Warriors faked the extra point try and Doug Granger rolled In for two points, forced Sycamore to go for two to ensure a victory.

The Aviators closed to within one, 15-14, on a one-yard plunge by John Achberger. The two-point conversion failed. The failure gave Mariemont the championship. The drive did consume six minutes and 37 seconds of the fourth quarter. Sycamore forced Mariemont to punt on their next possession.

The Aviators took over on their 30 yardline. The Warriors held on four downs and took over on the Sycamore 21. Jim Jordan carried for a 21-yard touchdown on the first play from sccrimmage. Lyons must look to the future cheerfully. Mariemont returns kids like Dan Stacy, who Lyons says, "would have been the best back on most of our teams," running back John Jordan, and quarterback Mike Dominique.

Saturday, into the game by taking a handoff from Fred Jacobs on a punt return reverse, faking two tacklers then racing 80 yards for his only' touchdown of the night. "We do that all the time," said Wyoming coach Bob Lewis, "and we usually break two or three for touchdowns each year. But this was the first successful punt return we've had this season.

We wanted to try it right away to put them in a hole if we could." Less than a minute later Wyoming increased its lead to 15-0 as Steve Fletcher made his first of two pass interceptions and carried it 33 yards for a score. When Wyoming's offensive unit finally made it on the field for the first time, over five minutes of the game had passed and the Greenhills defense refused to yield. "Our motto this year was: It's harder to repeat than to win it the first time." Mariemont coach Larry Lyons-ultimlzed. The Mariemont victory coupled with the Madeira loss to Indian Hill made the Warriors the sole owners of the crown for the first time since 1965. They shared the title with Sycamore a year ago.

Dave Boersig got the Warriors off and running. He took the hand off on the first play from scrimmage, and ran 48 yards for a Mariemont touchdown. Side-winder Dave Flores added the extra point. Sycamore jumped out in front on a four yard scoring toss from Andy Stewart to Steve Miller. Rick Martin rammed over left tackle for the two point conversion, 8-7.

The scoring play capped a 90 yard-eight play drive. "They were the only team to drive on us all year long," Lyons commented. "They are definitly the best team we've played all year."

By KEN LANE Enquirer Contributor The Miami Dolphins won their second Super Bowl in 1974 and it looked as though a dynasty was born. The Warriors won their second Eastern Hills "League title, defeating the Sycamore Avaitors, 21-15. Is another dynasty born? Indian Hill Stymies Madeira ByPAULTARVER Enquirer Contributor When your season comes down to one crucial play, a championship is at stake, a team has to go for broke. That's what Madeira's Mustangs attempted to do Friday night as they faced a 12-13 deficit after Thor Jacobs rambled for an important score seconds into the fourth quarter. The gamble for two points and a 14-13 win over Indian Hill's Braves fell short, as the Braves upended the favored Mustangs, 13-12, at the losers' field.

A sober Mustang coach Bill Hoffeld rationalized afterwards that "You don't win championships with ties." Madeira entered the game with hopes of capturing at least a share of the Eastern Hills League title with a win over Indian Hill, its first since '62 when it shared the title with Loveland. From the opening kickoff, "the Braves showed everyone 'they were not about to fall over and play dead. A savvy Clark marched his team methodically down -the field in 13 plays covering; "37 yards for the evening's, -first tally. This offensive by the: 1 Braves was given a helping; hand when Clark's pass at-, tempt to towering Dave. McKenzie was interfered with.

The Mustang blunder-set the Braves up with a much needed first down at Elder Remains Unbeaten, 36-0 Elder easily dismissed Purcell, 36-0, setting up next week's battle of the unbeatens with Moeller. The Panthers, In rolling to their eighth win of the season, settled the issue early by scoring four Xlxst half touchdowns and then letting the subs play out the game after Intermission. The Cavaliers managed only 143 yards total offense while Elder rolled up 241, with 190 coming on the ground Taft 'Berries' Hughes 5 Henry Berry collected 85 yards rushing on 12 carries and scored a touchdown in his first start of the season to lift Taft to a 30-0 Public High School League win over Hughes at Woodward. Taylor Can't Withstand Reading Taylor, Its offense stymied by the loss of starting quarterback Tom Peak via a leg injury In the first half, squandered a two touchdown lead to fall to Reading, 19-14. The Yellowjackets saw Reading pile up 284 yards total offense, most of it in the second half when the victors scored all their points.

Rich Cutter got the Blue Devils the clinching score on a five yard scamper with 2:36 remaining. Taylor had only 146 total yards, mostly with Peak in the game. Owls Win 1ICA Tie Obedience By J.P.LYONS Enquirer Contributor If Tom Winters hadn't listened to his coach, Bill Frldman, the Mt. Healthy senior might not have scored two touchdowns, intercepted four passes, and rushed for 1 16 yards. But if Ken Butler had listened to Frldman, the Mt.

Healthy Owls might not have earned a share of the Hamilton County American Division clamplonshir Friday night, sports final Mt. Healthy 's 17-7 victory over Oak Hills gave both teams Identical 5-1 HCA records for the year. You have to take charge tonight," Frldman told Winters before the game." The team loo.ks.up going to luck out because the offense was nothing," Freddie related. "We had to do something about that." Greenhills finished with only 15 yards net rushing in 25 carries against Wyoming's vaunted ground defense, but the big story was the pass defense. Shiver, city passing yardage leader with 862 yards, managed only three completions in 16 tries for 59 yards.

"We weren't really rushing him that well," said tackle and co-captain Mark McAu-ley, who accounted for- two' points with a safety. "He was running around and -still had enough time to throw. But his receivers were covered all night. Our defensive backs did the job." The largest previous Wyoming crowd totaled 2700 in 1964 also for a title game against Greenhills. Wyoming won that one, 8-0.

"That was unbelieveable," beamed Faust. "I thought that was the turning point in the game. It was just a great individual effort and it broke the game open." Losing coach Jack Lehr agreed. "I don't think we were ever in the game after the first score," he said sadly. "I think some of our kids kind of hung their heads." Three Roger Bacon turnovers set up Moeller scores.

A John Montag Interception culminated In a misfired 27-yard field goal attempt, but fumble recoveries by Randy Webb and Montag both led to Koegel-to-Tlm Heitzman touchdown passes. The scoing plays covered eight and five yards, respectively as Koegel passed for 55 yards in the opening half. Bacon, meanwhile had-only two plays which went for more than 10 yards a 14-yard pass from Dale Benjamin to Charlie Robinson and a 61-yard electifier from Benjamin to Steve Farrell which carried to Moeller's four-yard line with 22 seconds left in the first half. Four incomplete passes followed, however, John Williams' deflection saving a touchdown, the Moeller pass rush doing the rest. Curry was at it again in the third quarter, this time covering 26 yards.

Later Bob Massong skirted four yards followed by a three-yard TD run by Mike Burns in the fourth period. The night's scoring ended on Bacon's final turnover, an Interception which John Bauer took 14-yards for a score. Prior to this one, turnovers had not been a problem for Roger Bacon. "We've lost fumbles before on the center-quarterback exchange," revealed Lehr. "But this is the first time we have had trouble with our backs fumbling." Paced by Curry's 114 yards on seven carries, Moeller racked up 250 yards rushing and another 116 passing.

Bacon had only 159 total yards, 84 rushing and 75 passing. "It was Just one of those nights, but the ball bounced our way," figured Faust. He's hoping it'll be that way next week when he hopes to clean up Riverfront and Elder.

XLaSalle Battle There For Showcase A tmosphere BY TERRY DUSCHINSKI Enquirer Contributor Even after its 46-0 whitewashing of Roger Bacon, Moeller was not finished cleaning up at Riverfront Stadium Friday night. Coach Gerry Faust ordered his Crusaders to pick up the debris surrounding the playing field. "I don't know why we do this," laughed quarterback Tim Koegel, who passed for two touchdowns. "The Bengals never do this." Seldom are the Bengals as Impressive as Moeller was Friday night. "I graduated from Bacon, although I'm not really a Bacon fan," offered another.

"I just like to see good high school football, and it's convenient here. You can park and you're right here. Sure, I'd watch other leagues if it was for a championship." Two fans wearing Princeton football Jackets came "because we played against most of these teams. We really Just came to see Moeller get beat," laughed the pair, who played at Princeton last year. "But seriously, if these games weren't being played here, we would've gone to our own high school." A pipe-puffing St.

partisan even admitted he "would probably come to watch If the best teams from some of the other leagues were playing," while only one man stuck steadfastly by his team. A Bacon fan, he came only to see Bacon, watched only Bacon during each season and would probably have attended the game wherever It had been played. St. Xavler threatened to run away from LaSalle early in the game, marching 54 yards in 11 plays down to the LaSalle five on its first possession. The Lancers held, but St.

moved right back to the LaSalle 11 on Steve Rohrer's 27-yard punt return. Again LaSalle held, this time at the six. LaSalle halted the next Bomber offensive with a Tom Capitalizing on six turnovers, Moeller eliminated the pesky Spartans from the Greater Cincinnati League title race. Next Friday's Moeller-Elder Riverfront battle will crown this year's champ. Moeller unthawed a contest which did not register a gain of more than three yards in its initial 14 plays when fullback Jeff Curry bounced loose from a wave of tacklers along the line of scrimmage, racing 74 yards down the sidelines to make It 6-0 after Just six-and-one-half minutes of play.

Wirth interception, but on the very next play Andy Schoenhoft recovered a Tim Brenner at the LaSalle 27. Xavier converted this time, Gary Radziwon passing to Joe Deters on the following play for a 7-0 lead. Brenner was Intercepted late in the half, Dan Hawkins putting St. on the attack with 30 seconds and 64 yards to go. On the Bombers' first play, a long Radziwon pass was deflected by LaSalle defender Jim Couch Into Deters' hands for a 32-yard gain.

Seven seconds before halftime Bill Dahl-stom boomed a 40-yard field goal to give St. a 10-0 lead. The outcome was enjoyable enough to bring several St. fans streaming onto the field, but then football wasn't all that brought 'em out Friday night. One spectator who was questioned about the doubleheader at halftime waved aside his Interrogator.

"Forget It," he said, pointing to the band. "I'm watching this." McKinley Stays Atop State Before 19,149 CANTON, O. (Special) -In a battle of the state's two top ranked high school teams Canton McKinley came out on the top side of a 19-6 count with Warren Harding. McKinley, playing before a home town crowd of 19,149 in Fawcett stadium, io you, ana i want your nest. Winters gave his coach the best he could.

It appeared his efforts alone would have been enough to defeat the Highlanders. Winters' two six-pointers looked like they' would be the only scoring of the night until Oak Hills' Joe Rothwell capped a 57-yard fourth quarter drive with a one yard sneak to make the disadvantage only 14-7. "We hoped to get the ball again and tie the game," losing coach Wil Rutenschroer admitted after the game. "A tie would have given us the championship by ourselves." After Steve Rutenschroer recovered a Healthy fumble, Winters came up with one of his four aerial thefts at the goal line. The Owls marched 79 yards to the 21, where they were faced with a fourth down situation.

Fridman called timeout. Bill Klamo, Mt. Healthy's specialist coach told Frldman, "Ken (Butler) can kick it from there." "I told Bill OK," Fridman recalls," and I sent the specialist team. p- "But, then I changed my mind. We have on of the worst kicking teams.

And Ken's kick would have to be from the right hash mark," Fridman added. "And besides, Butler had never tried a fjeld goal before." Fridman yelled out to his team, to fakVlhe. field goal. But somehow, Butler and holder Gary White never got the message. "Gary and I were talking, so that's why: we didn't hear it, probably," Butler mentioned.

Butler's 37-yard attempt was perfect' a-rid with 5:04 remaining in the game put the contest out of reach. For Butler, who took up kicking as a freshman because he thought he could kick farther than another freshman averaging about "20 yards a boot, it was ironic that his kick should come against Oak Hills. Last year, Mt. Healthy and Oak Hills but Butler had a chance to win it with an extra-point attempt. "He was a sophomore last year," Fridman said, "and after we tied Oak Hills I had to make the decision whether to run the conversion or have Kenny kick it.

Ken said he could do it, and I let him try. I don't think the ball went five yards." For Winters, who missed the first three games of this season, the night may have been his most -memorable. After attending Colerain as a man and sophomore, his two years at Mt. Healthy ended on a sweet note. the opponents' 36.

Five plays later on a fourth and seven situation at the 15, Clark rolled left after faking into the line and lobbed a perfect aerial to the wide open Alan Roehr in the end zone. Madeira launched its scoring drive with less than five minutes remaining in the half when defensive halfback Bob Anderson picked off a Clark bomb. Thor Jacobs carried the pigskin six times and caught a crucial pass from quarterback Doug Blough to keep their drive alive, as the Mustangs marched 66 yards in 14 plays to tie at 6-6, when brother Lance Jacobs followed Thor into the end zone. The Braves began to move again midway into the third period as they drove 57 yards in 11 plays for a 13-6 advantage. Once again, Clark's savvy played a key role In the scoring thrust.

Clark, back to pass, appeared trapped when he spotted the lanky McKenzie at the Mustang six. Two plays later, Clark rolled wide to his left Jor the score. Coach Joe Clark commented that this play was "Identical to the first touchdown, but since Mike is so quick, he took It in himself." "We made too many mental mistakes," responded a dejected Mustang coach Hoffeld. Thor Jacobs, Itled going into the game in the scoring Mustangs' race, 'was held to six points, that coming on the final thrust in an effort to win. "We wanted this game a sullen Jacobs.

"We worked hard for three months Just to get to this game," he added. "My points, weren't Important, Just winning the game." The gamble failed. Madei- ra had lost. By WEBB MATTHEWS Enquirer Contributor Tom Ballaban calls it "wonderful." And apparently of the Riverfront Stadium doubleheader crowd, estimated at no more than 10,000, agree with him. Ballaban's St.

Xavler Bombers defeated LaSalle, 10-6, in the first half of the Greater Cincinnati League twlnblll Friday night. The game was a surprising blend of exciting offensive and defensive plays from two clubs which had limped disappointingly to identical 4-4 records coming into the game. Aside from the game, though, what drew raves from Ballaban and the fans was the opportunity to witness high school football in the showcase atmosphere of Riverfront Stadium. "I think it's a wonderful thing," Ballaban enthused. "I hope they do this every year for a long time." Responses from a dozen fans queried randomly at halftime were similar.
