lookinr
for
another
upset
By BILL ALTERMAN
Last year Coach Ray Nagel promised the foot-
ball world that "It's going to be an exciting
football year at the University of Iowa."
He was right.
The 1968 Iowa Hawkeyes set 5 Big Ten of-
fensive records, 7 Iowa team records and 11
individual Iowa players records.
With all this offense though they still could
only muster a 5-5 season, due largely to a sieve-
like defense. This year is no different.
They have won games big 61-35 (Washington
State, a mediocre team) and then lost them
big 35-8 (Minnesota, an equally mediocre team).
They have gained an average of 421 yards a game
but have allowed the opposition 28 points a
game.
They are to put it mildly, erratic.
OFFENSIVELY, they are ranked 12th na-
tionally this week. Senior quarterback Larry
Lawrence has been the center of it all, passing
for 1290 yards and running for 314 more. Oc-
casiorally Mike Cilek has had to sub for Law-
rence as in the Michigan State game which the
Hawkeyes won on a six yard touchdown pass from
Cilek to wingback Kerry Reardon with 1:25 left
in the game. Reardon along with tight end Ray
Manning and split end Don Osby comprise the
highly talented Hawkeye receiving corps. Reardon
is the most prolific, catching 34 for 584 yards
~ while Manning has 25 for 310 yards and Osby
14 for 205 yards.
Iowa's ground game likewise has an excess
of talent. Although Tim Sullivan, last year's start-
ing fullback, has been out the whole year with
an ankle injury acquired from an automobile
accident, Nagel has had little to worry about as
sophomores Steve Penney and Tom Smith have
filled in ably Penney is the team's leading
an rusher with 458 yards and Smith has a 5.7 rush-
rat
ing average.
At tailback, Nagel has Levi Mitchell and Dennis
ar- Green. Mitchell, the Hawkeyes leading rusher also
has been lugging the ball an average of 5.7 yards
a crack. He took the opening kickoff 92 yards
for a touchdown in the game against Washington
State. Last week Green scored two touchdowns
in a 19-18 upset of racially troubled Indiana.
Still, the offense has had its problems.
COACH NAGEL spotted this area when he
commented, "The offense has had no trouble mov-
ing the ball but numerous errors have cost us."
A good example is their opening game against
Oregon State when the Hawkeyes threw five in-
terceptions and lost four fumbles, more than can-
celling out the 458 total yards they racked up in
the 42-14 loss.
Of late, however, "the mistakes have tapered off
and we're a more consistent ball club," Nagel as-
serted.
Defensively, Iowa has come a long way since
the beginning of the year. Although they were
hurt by graduations and the loss of several black
starters due to racial problems, their defense
was decisive in last week's victory. Besides in-
tercepting two passes, they set up the winning
touchdown by recovering a blocked punt on the
Hoosier's 18-yard line.
THE FRONT LINE and linebacking corps both
have experienced players and show it by having
held the opposition to under 3.5 yards per rush-
ing attempt. Both linebackers, Larry Ely and Rod
Barnhart are seniors with two years of playing
behind them. The front line includes three start-
ers back from last year, ends Bill Bevill and
Dan McDonald and tackle Wayne McDowell.
In addition to beating Michigan State and
Indiana, The Hawkeyes almost upset Purdue.
They were on the Boilermaker 3-yard line with
30 seconds left before they were stopped in
the 35-31 loss.
Yet the week before they bowed to Wisconsin
23-21, ending the Badgers winless streak at 23.
Like the coach said, "It's going to be an excit-
ing football year at the University of Iowa."

0 CHAMPAIGN-Sophomore Terry Masar of Oak Park, Ill.,
University of Illinois' No. 1 punter in football, was in critical condition
in St. John's Hospital, Springfield, last night after an auto accident.
Hospital attendants said Masar suffered a fractured left shoulder
and head injuries. His companion, William Mahar, 22, of Homewood,
1 Ill., also an Illinois student, was not seriously injured.

New York Met collecting $18,338.18 and each Baltimore Oriole pocket-
ing $14,904.21 from the World Series and the pennant playoffs.
The old highs were $12,794.00 for the victorious Los Angeles
Dodgers in the 1963 World Series and $8,189.36 for the losing Dodgers
in the 1966 Series with Baltimore.
0 MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL-The Minnesota North Stars of the
National Hockey League disclosed last night they had offered Bernie
"Boom-Boom" Geoffrion a contract to coach the West Division team.
Wren Blair, Minnesota General Manager-Coach, said Geoffrilon
left the Twin Ciies yesterday for New York to think about the offer.
Blair expected a decision "in the next few days."
* BALTIMORE - External heart massage was used on Tom
Mitchell, Baltimore Colts tight end after he was hurt in Sunday's
game with Green Bay, it was reported yesterday.
Larry Harris of the Baltimore Evening Sun wrote that when
Mitchell left the dressing room, heading for a hospital, he collapsed,
"actually turned blue and medics couldn't find a pulse for long,
anxious moments.
"External heart massage finally got him going again, however,
and then it was a long, two-hour siege in the operating room while
doctors cut and repaired ligaments, threw away cartilage and finally
sewed him up."
* DETROIT-Mike Roarke, one-time Detroit catcher, is the new
pitching coach of the American League Tigers.
The 39-year-old Roarke's assignment was switched from bullpen
coach, the job for which he was hired Oct. 3, when the Tigers failed
to come up with a pitching coach successor to John Sain, fired last
August in his third year with Detroit.

POWELL FAR BEHIND:
Killebrew named MVP'
NEW YORK (R)-- Harmon!
Killebrew, a quiet baldish man
who led the major leagues
with 49 home runs and 140
runs batted in for the Minne-
sota Twins, was named yes-
terday t h e Most Valuable
Player in the American Lea-
gue for 1969.
The muscular Killebrew, w h o
bounced back strong from an in-
jury in the 1968 All-Star game
that threatened to end his career,'
was a decisive winner over John'
"Boog" Powell of t h e pennant-
winning Baltimore Orioles. Powell
batted .304, hit 37 homers a n d
knocked in 121 runs,
Killebrew, 33, received 16 of the
first place votes by the 24-man
committee of the Baseball Writ-
ers Association of America, two!
from each league city. The voting,
completed before the beginning of
the playoffs and thus restricted to
performance in regularaseason'
games, was tabulated and an-
nounced by Jack Lang, secretary-
treasurer of the writers' group.
Minnesota won the league's West-
ern Division before losing to Bal-
timore in the playoffs. Powell was
named on six first place ballots.
Frank Robinson of Baltimore,
who had won the MVP in t h e
American League in 1964 and in
the National League with Cincin-
nati in 1961, received the two re-
maining first-place votes. Robin-
son hit .308 with 32 homers and
100 RBI.

Killebrew and Powvell were the
only players named on all 24 bal-
lots. The Killer was named no
lower than fourth on any vote 1
with seven for second place andV
one for fourth. Powell had seven2
for second, seven for third and
three for fourth, and one for
eighth. Robinson was left off three
of the 24 ballots.
Killebrew wound up with a .276
batting average and has hit 446,
homers in his 11-year career. It
was feared he was finished in the

Astrodome when he suffered a
ruptured left hamstring muscle
while stretching for a throw at
first base. He exercized during the
winter and came back to play in
162 games, splitting the season be-
tween first base (80 games) and
third base (103 games).
