The Notre Dame-Waverly match features two of STC's premier quarterbacks Crusader Carl Schiefen and Waverly 's Ken Corl. Schiefen has rushed for more than 600 yards and tallied eight touchdowns while almost singlehandedly putting Notre Dame third in STC team rushing statistics. The improving ND offense has scored four touchdowns in each of three of the last four outings and Schiefen has gotten ample support when necessary from backs Trifoso and Bob Beckwith.
It'll be interesting to see how Tom Hurley's Southside, Green Hornets come out after missing their chances to upset West last weekend. Horseheads and Hornell will gather in the basement bowl with a combined record of 1-9, 0-7 in the STC.

The host Groton squad is 3-0 in league play and 4-1 overall.

In another STC Capitol test, Corning East (3-1, 4-1) meets Southside (2-1, 2-3) Saturday at 2 p.m. also at Dunn Field; and Horseheads (0-3, 1-4) is at Hornell (0-4, 0-5) for duced a total of 30 points against Sayre and Horseheads, teams with a combined mark of 3-8 in 1978. "Maybe they aren't as potent as they were supposed to be," Northrop said. "But, they have a lot of guns." Not the least of which is the dynamic passing of sophomore Blaine Fowler and the timely, often spectacular catching of Ricky Allen. But the big news has been the EFA defense, allowing just 19 points in its last four games.
Chuck Brady's Edison team faces a tall order in powerful Groton, which leads the IAC in total defense allowing barely 100 yards per game while amassing nearly 300 yards of its own per game. The pass defense, a Spartan Achilles heel, has been heavily exploited the past two weeks by Dryden and Spencer-Van Etten. However, Groton is mainly run-oriented which augers well for Spartan defenders, who have had good success stopping the run. The Groton defense will have to concern itself with TAE all-purpose quarterback Mike Kane, who ran for three an STC interdivisional match tonight at 8. West has gotten into a bad habit it must break this weekend to stay at the top of the STC.
"You can't allow that to happen against a good bal-lclub," said Viking head coach Arnie Northrop, speaking of the fact that West has allowed the first score in four of its five games this season.

NY Mayor Orr scores 1st goal inu 21 months Yank fans go wild for their heroes MILWAUKEE (AP) Owner George Steinbrenner II, who cannot dodge turmoil even in the flush of his New York Yankees' second successive World Series championship, now has baseball's major league umpires outraged. They claim he has challenged their integrity by contending that National League umpires showed favoritism te their league's Series representative, the Los Angeles Dodgers, and "intimidated" their American League umpiring colleagues. "There is no question in my mind that Steinbrenner is questioning the integrity of the umpires," NL umpire Bruce Froemming, a Milwaukee resident, told The Associated Press. FYoernming said the Major League Umpires Association is investigating Steinbrenner's charges. Among Steinbrenner's complaints, made in a recent interview, was that umpires for the Series "are chosen on a rotation basis, with no consideration for ability." He also noted that umpires in the two major leagues wear different types of chest protectors and position themselves differently in the field.
Furthermore, he said, there is a difference in strike zones for hitters. Ed Vargo, senior umpire in the National League, was reached by telephone at his home in Butler, Pa. "It's like calling us a cheat," Vargo said. ''For someone like him to be so big in baseball and yet so small, it's pathetic." "It's a bunch of hogwash," said Vargo, who umpired in the recently concluded Series. "No one has questioned my integrity like that in my 19 years in the big leagues.
I think Steinbrenner ought to clean up his own house. He's had a lot of problems in the Yankee organization." "I work with National League umpires in spring training, World Series and All-Star games, and their integrity is no different than ours," Dave Phillips, an AL umpire since 1971, said by telephone from his St. Louis home. "I don't think Steinbrenner has any right to make that allegation. I think it's totally ludicrous," Phillips said.

Nilsson, 29, who worked until the last hours of his life to raise funds for an anti-cancer campaign, is the second Swedish Formula I driver to die in the last six weeks. Nilsson drove for Colin Chapman's John Player Special Lotus team during the 1977 Grand Prix season.

There were several minor injuries, including a policeman's wrenched back, and several broken barricades, and the mayor shouted into a microphone that "we will not start this program until there is absolute calm." Jackson, indicating a crowd on top of the Pace University building and others high in the trees of City Hall Park, told the pushing crowd; "The people in the trees and the people on top of the world want to hear us, so please keep quiet." The mayor never got his absolute calm, but he and Gov. Hugh Carey got a chance to make brief speeches, likening the Yankees' come-from-behind victory in the Series to New York's continuing efforts to pull herself out of near-bankruptcy. "We have conquered the odds," said Koch. "We will overcome." "This is comeback city," said Carey. midday.

Fans took up the familiar Yankee Stadium chant of "Reggie, Reg-gie" when they spotted Jackson, and policemen passed baseballs up to Dent for autographs. At one point Jackson, who had declined to sign autographs, reached down and pulled a young woman admirer up on the float for a ride of a few blocks. The parade was led by mounted police and a Marine Corps color guard and included the Fordham University marching band, which wound up each number by shouting "Go, Yanks, Go!"

But despite having to cut the program short and forego giving keys to the city to Yankees Manager Bob Lemon and Bucky Dent, the Series' Most Valuable Player, Mayor Edward Koch proclaimed it the greatest parade "since World War Lemon was heard to say: "I hope I get out of here alive." Crowds packed the sidewalks along lower Broadway 15 deep from Bowling Green to City Hall as the victorious Yankees rode through on flatbed trucks, waving to their fans as Charles Lindbergh, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, astronauts and many others had done before them. No one knew exactly how many turned out for the occasion, although it may have come close to the mayor's advance estimate of 2.5 million.

"Don't let anyone be fooled," notes Minnesota's J.P.
Parise. "He has got a lot of good hockey in him. He is so smart and so intelligent, he makes up for those bad knees and other injuries." Orr, who had not played since February 1977 because of a recurring knee injury and subsequent groin problems, scored his first goal in nearly two years and assisted on another to help the Chicago Black Hawks beat the North Stars 6-2 Thursday night. "It certainly was a long time coming," said Orr, who had scored his last goal on Jan. 12, 1977 21 months ago.
Chicago's $5 million investment was apparently feeling no pain after his big night. "I played 15 shifts which is about normal for any defenseman and certainly didn't feel tired," noted the onetime Boston Bruin great. "I skated, hard at times while some of the time could sit back and relax a little. But getting that first goal in nearly two years was really a milestone for me.

Associated Press Texas Coach Fred Akers says he plans to open with experience rather than youth when his eighth-ranked Longhorns take on third-ranked Arkansas Saturday in a matchup of Southwest Conference powers. Akerg will start senior Randy McEachern at quarterback rather than freshman Donnie Little, explaining that McEachern has "poise and maturity, a settling effect on what is already a young unit." Akers added that Little would see action for Texas, 4-1 overall and 2-0 in the SWC, the only loss having come at the hands of top-ranked Oklahoma, Arkansas is 4-0 overall and 1-0 in conference play. McEachern came off the bench last week to rally Texas from a B-0 deficit to a 28-16 victory over North Texas State. Arkansas Coach Lou Holtz gays McEachern gives Texas more of an aerial threat. "When McEachern makes the big play, It's usually said Holtz.
"Little may run up there and hand it to the receiver." No matter which quarterback is in there, Holtz is prepared for trouble. "People around the country may be underestimating Texas," said Holtz. "Their defense is every bit as good as it was last year. And except for Earl Campbell, their offense is as good, too."

Both clubs are 5-1 overall. UCLA is led by running backs Jesse Owens and Theotis Brown, while California relies on the passing of Rich Campbell, who has already picked up 1,361 yards this season. The Bears uncovered a new dimension last week, however, when tailback John Williams a 24-year-old senior who spent three years in minor league baseball before going to college rushed for 133 yards In a victory over Arizona.
