MO linksters fail By PlafaMfetier News Service JOHNSBURG -- Marian Central went into Monday's Northwest Sub urban Conference golf match against Marengo with ideas of an upset, but came away from the match somewhat disappointed. The Hurricanes saw their No.l and No. 2 players shoot their poorest rounds of the season as Marengo dealt MC a 177-185 loss at Chapel Hill Golf Club. George Frisch led the Hurricanes with a 43 while Dan Morris carded a 46. However, No. 1 player Steve Huemann had a 48 as did No. 2 linkster Keith Schultz. "It just wasn't their day. They had some trouble on different parts of the course," MC Coach Jim Speaker said. "It was an off-day, that's what it was." But he quickly added his pleasure with Frisch's round. "George's 43 was really impres sive. It was good to see," Speaker said of Frisch's season-best. "His . previous best was 46, so it was quite an improvement. He had been scor ing for us, but if he can drop his score a few strokes, it would make us that much better." y Marengo's Dave Lawlor was the medalist with a 42. Scott Mattie fol lowed with a 44, Todde Henke had 45 and Tim Hellema had 46. The Hurricanes, now 1-2 in the NWSC and 2-3 overall, host Grant Wednesday and travel to Wauconda Thursday. Marian's JVs won by a 201-211 count. Shawn Noe, Joel Madsen and Kevin Carney had 49s for the 'Canes while Steve Guzzetta had a 54. Mar ian is 2-1 in conference play and 4-1 overall. Honeymoon over lor Faust. Irish : By Corky Mdnecke Detroit News £ SOUTH BEND, Ind. - At Notre ;Dame, where waking up the echoes -and shaking down the thunder are I common occurances, heart-wrench- ling tragedy is sometimes as memo- - rable as heart-pounding triumph. : Coaching great Knute Rockne was glorified in life but his legend took 'on much greater proportions when :the plane he was traveling in -crashed into a frozen wheat field ^near Bazaar, Kan.! on March 31, ;1931. Eleven years before Rockne's '.death, the university lost to sickness -25-year-old All-American George Gipp, whom some insist would have ;been the greatest all-around player •in college football history. : The sudden and tragic passings of Rockne and Gipp, and the situations surrounding their untimely deaths, ;made for high drama and a touching -movie, The Knute Rockne Story. Anyone who sat through the film dry-eyed had to be hard and cold as the iceberg that got the Titanic. Since then, Notre Dame football has experienced far more triumphs than tragedies. There have been great coaches and great players, two national championship teams, five Heisman Trophy winners and another stirring movie, Wake Up The Echoes. . Into all this came Gerald Anthony Faust. The now-beleaguered coach suffered his first loss at Michigan five years ago, ending a glorious honeymoon. He absorbed another defeat aJLMichigan Saturday. There is no honeymoon talk now. The sub ject is divorce. At this point in Faust's nonde script college coaching career, with the wolves closing in from all sides, a movie about his life is out of the question. What he does offer, howev er, is the central character of a classic soap opera, As The World Turns on Gerry. Act 1, Scene 1: On a warm, windy, rainy night two years ago at the Orange Bowl, Miami was putting the finishing touches on a 20-0 triumph over the Fighting Irish. It was third and 18 and Faust, during a timeout, was talking strategy with his quarter back. The coach spotted a black plastic garbage can liner floating lazily from the upper deck toward the Notre Dame bench. "That looks like a body bag," said Faust. "Maybe God is ready to change coaches."

That was before practice, before the opening loss. Noble? Yes. Realistic? Not at No tre Dame. Gerry Faust is what a Notre Dame football coach was meant to be, dynamic, honest and inspiration al. If only he could win. Well, yes, Faust's 25-21-1 record does qualify as winning but of the 24 previous coaches who have guided the Fighting Irish, only Joe Kuhar- ich and Hugh Devore had winning percentages below Faust's. Bears feeling the pain By Randy Minkoff UPIqjorts writer LAKE FOREST - Quarterback Jim McMahon and halfback Walter Payton are hobbling but will play in Thursday's game at Minnesota, Chi cago coach Mike Ditka said Monday. In addition, wide receiver Dennis McKinnon, the club's leading receiv er, suffered a hip pointer in Sun day's 20-7 win over New England but he will also start against the Vikings. McMahon spent Sunday night in traction at Lake Forest Hospital with a bad neck he first injured in mysterious fashion last Wednesday night. McMahon played against the Patriots, throwing for one touch down and setting up another. "I think Jim will play. He won't practice Monday and we'll take a look Tueslay," Ditka said. "All of the tests and the X-rays showed he is OK." McMahon has had an injury- plagued career and missed the sec ond half of 1964 with a lacerated kidney. If McMahon cannot start, Ditka said he would again turn to Steve Fuller. "We are a 45-man team and we can win with Steve or with Mike (Tomczak)," Ditka said. "I am a firm believer that you need to prac tice to play." McMahon complained of a neck problem before Thursday's practice. "I don't honestly know what hap pened. He was fine Wednesday night and hurting Thursday," Ditka said. "He said he slept funny." Payton had suffered bruised ribs in the Tampa Bay season-opening victory. He took himself out of the game with the Pats after gaining only 39 yards in U carries. "Walter says he is OK and he'll play," Ditka said. "If he doesn't, "We'll probably have to go with (Thomas) Sanders." Payton said Sunday night the bruised ribs were not as bad as originally feared and he intended to start against the Vikings. Chicago easily handled Minnesota twice last year but the Vikings, un der Coach Bud Grant, are tied with the Bears and Detroit at 2-0 in the NFC Central. Their record doesn't impress McKinnon, who was also nursing a sprained ankle. "I don't think their team is as good as their record," McKinnon said. "They sneaked up on San Francisco and they beat Tampa Bay after we beat up on them." However, Ditka wasn't taking Minnesota as lightly as his top receiver. "Minnesota's statistics are a little less offensively but they are way ahead of one year ago defensively," Ditka said. "They have something like a positive 10 on turnovers and they love to strip the ball. When there is a fumble on the ground, they've got 19 guys pointing to their end zone that it's their ball." The short time of preparation for the nationally televised game shouldn't hurt the Bears, according to Ditka. "This is what football is all about. The Vikings and Bears have a great rivalry," Ditka said. "I know I don't like it in the dome with all that noise, but the Vikings and Bears have a great history."

McHenry 1s No. 22 is Dan Paris!. The Warriors lost, 41-0. Marino back By Dave Raffo UPI sportfc writer Unlike Joe Theismann a week ago, Dan Marino had reason to celebrate his birthday Sunday. On his 24th birthday Marino com pleted 29-of-48 passes for 329 yards and two touchdowns with no inter ceptions in helping Miami to a 30-13 victory over Indianapolis. It was a much better performance for Mari no than a week ago, when he was yanked in an upset loss to Houston. "I played much better, but I made a couple of bad decisions on where to throw the ball," said Marino, who ended a 37-day holdout less than a week before the season-opener. "I was able to make some throws this week while in some cases last week I didn't." Theismann, who turned 36 on the day his Washington Redskins were battered 44-14 by Dallas last Mon day, continued to have his troubles Sunday. 5TH ANNUAL THURSDAY SEPTEMBER » Early Morning \ To Midnight* SAVE25-50% on EVERY WA TERBED!
