but vows action' to end crisis
WASHINGTON (AP> — President
Carter on Friday ruled out any
military action against Iran that
would cause harm to the hostages in
Tehran, but families of the hostages
were told that action to free the cap-
tives would be taken soon.
"I am not going to take any
military action that would cause
bloodshed or arouse the unstable cap-
tors of our hostages to attack them or
punish them," the president said.
Speaking to a group of State
Department employees, Carter said:
"I'm going to be very moderate, very
cautious."
The president made the comments
as he left the State Department after
a meeting with about 100 relatives of
the hostages, who have been held
captive by Iranian militants since
Nov. 4. t
His remarks appeared to indicate a
change in the administration attitude
toward the Iranian crisis. Ad-
ministration spokesman consistently
have refused to rule out military ac-
tion ^against I r a n if n o r m a l
diplomatic efforts to free the
hostages fail.
But Deputy Secretary of State War-
ren Christopher, speaking to
reporters later, said the president
has not ruled out any option.
"I think the president has made
clear he prefers means peaceful in
nature to resolve this problem. But
the president has also been equally
clear that he has maintained his
other options." Christopher told
reporters after emerging from a
briefing for top Senate leaders.
While Carter ruled out military ac-
tion that he fe!t would endanger the
hostages inside the emb?ssy. he did
not rule out the use of force if the
hostages are harmed by the militants
holding them.

Chadron State ousts
College of SF 74-65
By RICK WEBER
The New Mexican Staff
The College of Santa Fe Knights
sleepwalked through the first half of
Friday night's game against
Chadron State College. And despite
the constant prodding of Coach Jim
Johnston in the second half, the
Knights never woke up.
The result was a 74-fi5 loss to the
Eagles from Chadron, Neb in the
first round of the City Different
Jaycee Invitational at the CSF gym.
No, the Knights won't be defending
their tournament title tonight. In
fact, they may have some trouble
with Sul Ross University, which was
outlasted 110-104 by a pesky New
Mexico Highlands University team in
the night's opening game.
The Eagles didn't travel all the
way from the northwest corner of
Nebraska for nothing. They used a
tight man-to-man defense to shut
down the Knights' high-scoring at-
tack, which was amazingly balanced
—' with all five starters getting five
field goals and scoring in double
figures — but unusually impotent.
The Eagles broke open a tight
game five minutes into the contest,
opened up a 12-point lead late in the
first half, and never looked back.

New Mexico suspends Ellenberger, Goldstein

sity of New Mexico basketball Coach
Norm Ellenberger and his chief
recruiting assistant were suspended
Friday in the midst of a federal in-:
vestigation into possible mail fraud
and bribery involving grades of
junior college transfers.
Ellenberger met with university
president Dr. William E. Davis and
asked that he be suspended. Davis
later told a news conference that he
would have suspended Ellenberger
even if the coach had not volunteered
to step aside.
"I think that some action had to be
taken, it was obvious," Davis said,
"and really before we got to that
stage of it he volunteered himself. I
was prepared to suspend the coach
put I did appreciate the fact Norm
thought enough of the institution and

"They shot well and played a very
poised game. They really hung
together, even with our pressure.
And we did put a lot of pressure on
them."
While Johnston was lavish in his
praise of the men from Cornhusker
country, he was less than pleased
with the men in the black-and-white-
striped shirts — the officials that is.
"I think they let the game get away
from them," Johnston said. "The
major turning point was in the first
half with about seven or eight
minutes left. It got so physical and it
turned into a pushing and shoving
match. We came out on the losing
end.
"It was a physical game the entire
way. When the game started getting
out of hand, we stopped thinking
basketball and starting thinking
about throwing elbows and pushing.
From that point on, I was not pleased
with the'officiating. I think I scream-

He said the suspensions will re-

resolved. Davis also said the univer-
sity would continue its own internal
investigation and that if cir-
cumstances later warrant, more
senous action against Ellenberger
and Goldstein might be taken.
Neither Ellenberger nor Goldstein
could be reached for comment.
Ellenberger, who is in the final
year of a three-year contract, will
continue to draw his estimated
$38,000 a year salary, Davis said.

season tonight against the University
of Colorado.
Davis said Ellenberger was "deep-

ed by Davis after he read transcripts
But Sparling had little to complain
about. His team went to the free
throw line 10 more times than the
Knights. And that's where the Eagles
won the game. They had only one
more field goal than the Knights, but
they hit on 22 of 29 free throws.
Sparling's ace foul shooter- was
Jerry Boyce, who made six of nine in
the second half, including four in the
last minute of the game, when the
Knights were frantically trying to
chop away at the Eagles' com-

"I think we showed a lot of
courage," Johnston said. "We never
quit the whole time, even when we
were down by a lot in the second
half."
But it wasn't enough.

Demons head for state
By PAULA MOYA
The Santa Fe High Demon Football
'team is going to State!.
This may not be news to the ears of
the SFHS population, but it certainly
.is music to the ears of students,
teachers, administrators and the
football team alike. And it's the sort
of music that hasn't been heard
around Santa Fe High for 36 years.
;The last SFHS football team to
journey to the state championship
game (and win it) was the team of
1943.
The district 1AAAA State Cham-
pionship game will be played tonight
at 7:30. Due to the fact that the
Eldorado Eagles won the coin toss
last Sunday, the game will be at
University Stadium in Albuquerque.

For some, the age old sibling
rivalry may cause a few problems
but in the case of Richard and Roger
Mariani, their relationship helps
them.

go to the game and support the
Demons. The Demon Boosters ar-
ranged to have special buses travel-
ing down to the game lor the supris-
ingly low price of S4 per student. The
price includes admission.
Seniors, juniors, sophomores and
freshmen were challenging the other
classes to see which could fill the
most buses — at 42 students a bus.
Sena said they'd take "as many as
we can fill."
Students were encouraged to wear
blue and gold to the game and take
the pom-poms donated to the student
body by Santa Fe merchants. They,
along with all other Demon sup-
porters, will be inhabiting the east
side of University Stadium

Each soloist competed against
band students from all over the state.
In preparation for the audition, each
participant practiced a specified solo
for the. instrument and memorized
nine different scales for the judge.
There were nine judges specialized
'for brass, woodwinds, strings and
percussion. In an audition the judge
asked for scales and graded the
soloists on dynamics, intonation,
musicality. rhythm, sight reading,
technique and tone.
The finalists for the the All State

Demons rout Cibola 30-0 in opener

By DAN WILLIAMS
The New Mexican Staff
ALBUQUERQUE - It took the
Santa Fe Demons 14 minutes
Saturday to regain the form they used
to capture the 1978 District 1AAAA
football crown. The remaining 34
minutes were pure misery for
Albuquerque Cibola.
Despite a shaky first quarter, the
Demons came to life early in the
second and unleashed a potent offense
and a relentless defense which shut
out the Cougars 30-0.
The victory opened the season for the
Demons, recently picked by New
Mexico soprtswriters as the No. 1
Class AAAA team in the state. It was
also the third straight year that Santa
^ Fe opened its season with a win over
the Cougars.
"Two years ago we beat them 8-6
here in Albuquerque and won 10
games," a noticably pleased Santa Fe
coach David Church said after the
game. "Then last year we won 12-10 in
Santa Fe and got 11 in a row. If.you've
got good caliber kids, a 30-0 score
should indicate we have a good
bunch."
After watching the Demons work
their magic in the final three quarters
Saturday, most prep experts Would
have to agree.

contest against Albuquerque Cibola at
Running back Jeff Apodaca, who
piled up a game-high 114 yards
rushing, put the Demons on the
soreboardhalfwaythrough the second
quarter. He capped an il-pay series
with a six-yard run, then quarterback
Terry Tinercorupleted a pass toLouis
Briones for the extra two points.
But it was the Santa Fe defense that
accounted for the Demons' other
three touchdowns.
After the first quarter, the Demons
never let the Cougars past the Santa
Fe 41 yard line, forcing four turnovers
in the process and limiting Cibola to
only 133 total yards to Santa Fe's 304.
Three of the four turnover resulted
in Santa Fe touchdowns.
Demon linebacker Mark Martinez
was the first player to cash in on a
Cougar mistake, pouncing on a
fumble at the Cibola 22. Eight plays
later, he returned to his offensive slot
at halfback and punched his way into
the end zone from one yard out.
Quartrback Steve Baca put the
Demons ahead 10-0 with a perfect
conversiton pass to Randy Bertram.
Cibola's next mistake came on the
following series when quarterback Ed
Tanner hobbled the snap from center,
hurried his pass under pressure and
sent a perfect spiral into the hands of
Tiner, who raced 40 yards into the
end zone.
Baca, the Demon quarterback who
alternates every other series with
Tiner and doubles as a defensive
linebacker, picked off two Cibola
passes. His first came right at the
halftime buzzer and his second set up
the final Santa Fe score in the fourth
quarter.
Baca intercepted the pass at
midfield, ran it back to the Cibola 40,
then took over as quarterback and two
plays later launched a 40-yard
touchdown aerial to Bertram His two-
point conversion passalso hit its mark,
again to Bertram. Final satistics
showed Baca with 88 of the Demons'-
93 yard passing.
Other than the slow start in the first
quarter, the only other dull spot on the
Demons'performance wasa whopping
110 yards in penalties.
"Everybody was making mental
errors," Church said. "Offsides
penalties, jumping the court and even
holding are all mental errors."
Santa Fe will try to cut down on the
penalties this Friday when they host
Albuquerque Sandia in another non-
district contest at Magers Field.

Academy deals Espanola Valley 5-0 setback

By RICK WEBER
The New Mexican Staff
ESPANOLA — Espanola Valley
High School football coach Tom
Lopez believes in miracles.
Even though his Sundevil team
trailed Albuquerque Academy 5-0
with just 41 seconds left in
Saturday's game at Hunter Field,
Lopez wasn't about to count his
team out. He had a sneaking
suspicion that, a miracle was
forthcoming —" and his feelings
were confirmed. With Academy in
punt formation on fourth down and
eight from the Espanola 43, Cedric
Hay centered the ball five feet over
U«e head of punter Bobby Clark,
who pounced on the ball way back
on the Academy 24-yard line.
Sooner than Lopez could say
"unbelievable", the Sundevils had
the ball just 24 yards away from a
season-opening victory.
With no timeouts remaining and
just 34 seconds left on the clock,
Espanola quarterback Abran
Salazar took the snap and — much
to the disbelief of the sparse crowd
— rolled around left end and was
stopped at the 21. The clock wound
all the way down to four seconds
before a last-gasp pass attempt to
Joey Salazar was knocked down at
the 2-yard line.
As quickly and suddenly as the
Sundevils had gained a shot at a
victory, they had lost it.
"It was a pitch sweep designed to
go outside, but we didn't get it
there and we never made it out of
bounds," Lopez said of the play
that backfired and cost the
Sundevils almost 30 precious
seconds. "We had used all our
timeouts before so we were in
trouble.
"It's too bad because we had
never lost the game in our minds.
After we got the ball, we were
ready to go for it. We just didn't get
it in."
As devastating and
heartbreaking as the loss was,
Lopez said it wouldn't scar the
Sundevils' belief in themselves.
"I think a loss like this is gonna
help us," Lopez said. "The kids
know now that they can do it. They
know they're gonna have to work
harder this week in practice to do
it."
If Espanola is to beat Taos on
Friday night, it will have to
generate ar offensive attack. The
Sundevils never once launched a
sustained drive on offense and only
once did they come close to a score.
That came with less than two
minutes remaining in the first half
when Abran Salazar threw a
screen pass to running back Gerald
Martinez, who cut back across the
center of the field and down the left
sideline for a 38-yard gain down to
the Academy 20. But Espanola was
stopped cold on four plays and
failed to score.
For the game, the Sundevils
managed to grind out just four first
downs — and one of them came on
a penalty in the first quarter.
Espanola rolled up a meager six
yards rushing on 27 attempts and
could muster only 84 yards total
o f f e n s e . Lopez was clearly
disturbed with those figures.
"We had problems with our
line," he said. "We weren't
blowing them out and staying low. I
thought we would be able to move
on the ground, but our line just
didn't come through. We'll be
working on our blocking a lot this
week."
Espanola would have come much
closer to hitting paydirt if it could
have avoided penalties — that
dreaded nemesis that invariably
curtails offensive productiveness.
The Sundevils were penalized 12
times, for 75 yards — and most of
the yardage came from motion
penalties which were the result of
players jumping the snap.

Demons rout Cibola 30-0 in opener

By DAN WILLIAMS
The New Mexican Staff
ALBUQUERQUE - It took the
Santa Fe Demons 14 minutes
Saturday to regain the form they used
to capture the 1978 District 1AAAA
football crown. The remaining 34
minutes were pure misery for
Albuquerque Cibola.
Despite a shaky first quarter, the
Demons came to life early in the
second and unleashed a potent offense
and a relentless defense which shut
out the Cougars 30-0.
The victory opened the season for the
Demons, recently picked by New
Mexico soprtswriters as the No. 1
Class AAAA team in the state. It was
also the third straight year that Santa
^ Fe opened its season with a win over
the Cougars.
"Two years ago we beat them 8-6
here in Albuquerque and won 10
games," a noticably pleased Santa Fe
coach David Church said after the
game. "Then last year we won 12-10 in
Santa Fe and got 11 in a row. If.you've
got good caliber kids, a 30-0 score
should indicate we have a good
bunch."
After watching the Demons work
their magic in the final three quarters
Saturday, most prep experts Would
have to agree.

contest against Albuquerque Cibola at
Running back Jeff Apodaca, who
piled up a game-high 114 yards
rushing, put the Demons on the
soreboardhalfwaythrough the second
quarter. He capped an il-pay series
with a six-yard run, then quarterback
Terry Tinercorupleted a pass toLouis
Briones for the extra two points.
But it was the Santa Fe defense that
accounted for the Demons' other
three touchdowns.
After the first quarter, the Demons
never let the Cougars past the Santa
Fe 41 yard line, forcing four turnovers
in the process and limiting Cibola to
only 133 total yards to Santa Fe's 304.
Three of the four turnover resulted
in Santa Fe touchdowns.
Demon linebacker Mark Martinez
was the first player to cash in on a
Cougar mistake, pouncing on a
fumble at the Cibola 22. Eight plays
later, he returned to his offensive slot
at halfback and punched his way into
the end zone from one yard out.
Quartrback Steve Baca put the
Demons ahead 10-0 with a perfect
conversiton pass to Randy Bertram.
Cibola's next mistake came on the
following series when quarterback Ed
Tanner hobbled the snap from center,
hurried his pass under pressure and
sent a perfect spiral into the hands of
Tiner, who raced 40 yards into the
end zone.
Baca, the Demon quarterback who
alternates every other series with
Tiner and doubles as a defensive
linebacker, picked off two Cibola
passes. His first came right at the
halftime buzzer and his second set up
the final Santa Fe score in the fourth
quarter.
Baca intercepted the pass at
midfield, ran it back to the Cibola 40,
then took over as quarterback and two
plays later launched a 40-yard
touchdown aerial to Bertram His two-
point conversion passalso hit its mark,
again to Bertram. Final satistics
showed Baca with 88 of the Demons'-
93 yard passing.
Other than the slow start in the first
quarter, the only other dull spot on the
Demons'performance wasa whopping
110 yards in penalties.
"Everybody was making mental
errors," Church said. "Offsides
penalties, jumping the court and even
holding are all mental errors."
Santa Fe will try to cut down on the
penalties this Friday when they host

district contest at Magers Field.

Academy deals Espanola Valley 5-0 setback

By RICK WEBER
The New Mexican Staff
ESPANOLA — Espanola Valley
High School football coach Tom
Lopez believes in miracles.
Even though his Sundevil team
trailed Albuquerque Academy 5-0
with just 41 seconds left in
Saturday's game at Hunter Field,
Lopez wasn't about to count his
team out. He had a sneaking
suspicion that, a miracle was
forthcoming —" and his feelings
were confirmed. With Academy in
punt formation on fourth down and
eight from the Espanola 43, Cedric
Hay centered the ball five feet over
U«e head of punter Bobby Clark,
who pounced on the ball way back
on the Academy 24-yard line.
Sooner than Lopez could say
"unbelievable", the Sundevils had
the ball just 24 yards away from a
season-opening victory.
With no timeouts remaining and
just 34 seconds left on the clock,
Espanola quarterback Abran
Salazar took the snap and — much
to the disbelief of the sparse crowd
— rolled around left end and was
stopped at the 21. The clock wound
all the way down to four seconds
before a last-gasp pass attempt to
Joey Salazar was knocked down at
the 2-yard line.
As quickly and suddenly as the
Sundevils had gained a shot at a
victory, they had lost it.
"It was a pitch sweep designed to
go outside, but we didn't get it
there and we never made it out of
bounds," Lopez said of the play
that backfired and cost the
Sundevils almost 30 precious
seconds. "We had used all our
timeouts before so we were in
trouble.
"It's too bad because we had
never lost the game in our minds.
After we got the ball, we were
ready to go for it. We just didn't get
it in."
As devastating and
heartbreaking as the loss was,
Lopez said it wouldn't scar the
Sundevils' belief in themselves.
"I think a loss like this is gonna
help us," Lopez said. "The kids
know now that they can do it. They
know they're gonna have to work
harder this week in practice to do
it."
If Espanola is to beat Taos on
Friday night, it will have to
generate ar offensive attack. The
Sundevils never once launched a
sustained drive on offense and only
once did they come close to a score.
That came with less than two
minutes remaining in the first half
when Abran Salazar threw a
screen pass to running back Gerald
Martinez, who cut back across the
center of the field and down the left
sideline for a 38-yard gain down to
the Academy 20. But Espanola was
stopped cold on four plays and

managed to grind out just four first
downs — and one of them came on
a penalty in the first quarter.

Both Los Alamos and Espanola will
be scratching and clawing for some
respectability this weekend. There's
only one problem — only one is going
to get it.
Saturday afternoon's game bet-
ween the two teams isn't being con-
fused with Armageddon. The Hilltop-
pers, plagued by injuries and an in-
consistent offense, have won just one
of five games. The Sundevlls,
plagued by nearly everything you
could think of, have yet to win a game
or score a point. Worse yet, .they
haven't really come close.
The Sundevils lost 71-0 to Gallup
last Friday — but it could have been
even worse, as shocking as that
sounds. Gallup led 63-0 at halftime
and both teams agreed that there
Espanola Valley paired against LA
was Uttle point tn making the after-
noon longer than it already was. So
the third and four quarters were cut
in half — but the result was still one
of the most lopsided games in the
state this year.
"We just had a super poor game —
that's all that's to it," Espanola
Valley coach Tom Lopez said "I
guess disappointed is the best word to
describe my feelings. I know we can 1
p!ay better. They're (Gallup) a good
ballclub, but us playing as poorly as
we did contributed a lot to the 71
points."
Lopez has seen enough to know that
a winning season isn't in the offing
for the Sundevils. With Grants, Santa
Fe and Albuquerque High still to
come, Lopez would just like to get a
victory when his team travels to Los
Alamos this weekend.
"We're going up there with the at-
titude that we have to win a
ballgame," Lopez said. "I don't think
anyone has given up and I don't think
they will. It hurts our kids, but it
hasn't gotten to the point where
they're saying, 'Forget it, we're quit-
ting for the season.'
"We will score. We still have that
confidence in the kids. One of these
days we're gonna unload and score
some points."
Los Alamos coach Brad Jenkins is
hoping the Sundevils don't do it this
week. Then again, he's not worrying
about it.
"Our goal is not to hold them
scoreless," Jenkins said. "Our goal
is to go out and win. If we're the first
team to let them score, then that's
the way it goes.
"But I don't feel like they're gonna
burn us. They've had their problems
offensively. They've shown very
limited spurts. Their problem is that
they make so many gosh darn
mistakes. Several times a game,
they'll fumble the snap from center.
They usually have some missed han-
doffs. They just can't do anything in
stretches."
Jenkins hasn't had an easy time
preparing the Hilltoppers for the
game. How do you guard against
overconfidence when you know your
opponent has been outscored 182-0
and has lost each successive game by
a larger margin?
"We're not taking the approach of
trying to convince our kids that
Espanola can be a great football
team," Jenkins sid. "They're not
stupid. If you lose by scores like that,
you're not great. But we are trying to
convince our kids that this is a game
we need to win.
"We should win the football game.
The thing that worries me about
playing a team like Espanola is that
if you do take them lightly and they
score early, they can get hyped up
and make it\a tough afternoon. We
can't come out lackadaisical and let
them do some things."
The situation isn't all that rosy in
Topperland. Linebacker Jeff Arm-
strong tore ligaments in his knee
against Farmington last weekend,
underwent surgery and is lost for the
season. The Hilltoppers were thin at
linebacker before his loss. Now,
they're even thinner.
But one of Jenkins' biggest
headaches is an inconsistent offense
that has moved the ball, but has been
able to score just 36 points in five
games.
"It's been a little disappointing and ".
frustrating," Jenkins said. "The
most frustrating thing Is that even

Demons entertain 'Dogs

Br DAN WILLIAMS
The New Mexican Staff
On paper, Albuquerque High School appears to
have an offensive formula that could upset the
Santa Fe Demons tonight — an explosive air
show.
The Bulldogs, Santa Fe's top challenger for the
District 1AAAA title this season, roll into town
with possibly the most polished passing attack in
the league.
Demon coach David Church, however, says his
team is prepared for the attack and is not about
to let the Bulldogs spoil the Demons' last
homecoming game at Magers Field.
Perhaps recalling the last time the Demons
went up against a solid passing team (they lost to
Albuquerque Eldorado 35-6), Church has been
spending much of the past week shoring up his
defensive secondary.
"They ( A H S ) throw the ball a lot," Church
said. "They've got the leading scorer in the city
of Albuquerque and their quarterback is second
in the city in passing. We'll have to be ready for
them."
Both teams enter tonight's battle with 2-0
records in 1AAAA competition this season. Albu-
querque has polished off Gallup (15-13) and
Grants (28-16), while Santa Fe has crushed both
Los Alamos (43-G) and Albuquerque West Mesa
(61-0). Game time is 7:30 p.m-.
"These next two ballgames are the most im-
portant of the year for us," said Church, who
takes the Demons to Gallup next Friday for
another district contest. "We have to be sure we
don't lose any in district so we get the home field
advantage in the playoffs."
If the Demons can get by Albuquerque, their
road to the league championship should be a
breeze. The only team on the schedule that ap-
pears to have a shot at defeating the Demons is
Gallup, which lost to the Bulldogs three weeks
agoon theirhome field.
Although Albuquerque's Bulldogs have yet to
develop a threat on the ground, their passing
game can be deadly. Quarterback Jeff Wilder is
Albuquerque's second-leading passer with 36
completions in 76 attempts. Nine of his passes
have gone for touchdowns, and most of those
were caught by Greg Miller, the leading scorer
in the Duke City with 48 points. Receiver Brad
Rockwell, a transfer student from Albuquerque
Sandia, has also been a threat in the past two
ballgames. Rockwell became eligible two weeks'
ago and has since stunned opponents with nine
receptions and 100 yards.
Santa Fe will counter with its three-man secon-'
dary unit consisting of halfbacks Steve Baca and
Louis Briones. and Frank Lucero at safety.
The Bulldogs' secondary should also have its
hands full tonight if the Demons decide to go to
the air. Demon quarterback Baca gave fans-a"
look at his passing arm last week against Albu-
querque West Mesa, passing for three
touchdowns and 179 yards. Baca's favorite
targets are Mark Martinez, Pierre Gibbons and
Alfred Sena. ' - :
Martinez also paces a solid Santa Fe rushing
attack which has punished opponents with an
average of 6.1 yards per rush this season. He'll;
be joined in the backfield by Terry Tiner t arid
Briones. . ~
The Santa Fe-Albuquerque series includes one
of the state's most unusual records. In 1916, San-
ta Fe became the victim of the most lopsided
prep football game in New Mexico history, losine
104-0 to the Bulldogs. .

Cancerous tumor sidelines Apodaca

Santa Fe High School senior Jeff Apodaca will
enter the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at
Houston, Texas, today for what has' been
diagnosed as a malignant tumor of the prostate
gland.
Jeff's father, former Gov. Jerry Apodaca, said
the 17-year-old football player was discovered to
have developed the tumor early this week. The
tumor was found to be malignant Thursday.
"He's going to be okav," Apodaca said. "It's a
complication he is going" to beat."
Dr. Bob Zone of Santa Fe, who treated Jeff this
week, said Thursday that X-rays and a biopsy
"discovered a rare malignant tumor of the pro-
state.
Because of its rarity and the need to treat it ex-
peditiously, we are sending the boy to the Ander-
son Center,'' Zone said.
The treatment will involve chemotherapy and
may require surgery, he said.

Santa Fe coach David Church said Thursday
that Jeff "was fine last week but he woke up :
Monday morning and couldn't urinate.
"All the players and the coaches are confident
and optimistic that Jeff will get better," Church
said. "Some of the players and coaches have said
some things about winning this week's ballgame
for Jeff, but I'm not gonna make any reference to
dedicating the ball game to him. Jeff means a
hell of a lot more to us than any ballgame could
ever mean."
"There is reason for optimism," Zone said. "In
the past few years these once very serious
tumors are responding well to chemotherapy, X-
ray and surgery.
"I'm optimistic he is in the very best hands at
the Anderson Center," Zone said.
Zone said it is indicated the tumor was
discovered soon after its development, since
there had been no previous symptoms.

'The Family' came a long way

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Here's a look back
through "The Family" album.
In January, President Dan Galbreath of the
Pittsburgh Pirates okayed baseball's richest
contract for Dave Parker. There were grumbl-
ings in steelworker taverns and beauty parlors
that Parker was overpaid, but Galbreath was
paying the price for big league success.
"We had confidence in Pittsburgh as a city,
and especially as a baseball city," said
Galbreath. who agreed to the reported S5 million
pact despite an attendance slump in 1978.
In April, Pete. Peterson showed he was a
\ general manager of action by dealing erratic
shortstop Frank Taveras to the New York Mets
for less spectacular but steady Tim Foli.
"I never thought Foli would hit.like he did."
Peterson said after Foli played solid defense and
batted 44 points better than his .244 lifetime
average.
In May, Manager Chuck Tanner showed he
was a man of patience by accenting the positive
while last-place Pittsburgh was falling nine
games off the pace in the National League East.
"We have four months and three weeks left.
That's a lot of season," said Tanner. "Our guys
will turn it around."
In June, Peterson showed he was a burglar as
well as'a general manager by acquiring Bill
Madfock from San Francisco in a multi-player
swap that sent,the Giants pitcher Ed Whitsbn.
"I want to make this the Giants' loss and the
Pirates' gain," said Madlock, who came to Pitt-
sburgh batting .261 and finished at .298.
And in July, August, September and October,
Willie Stargell and his Pirate teammates showed
they were the comeback, do-it-in the clutch team
ofI979.
They fought off gutsy Montreal in the tight Na-
tional League East, they swept Cincinnati in the
NL Championship Series and they rallied from a
3-1 deficit to end Baltimore's dream season in the
World Series.
Then they popped open bottles of champagne
and played their clubhouse disco theme song.
"We Are Family." over and over.
Some cynics suggest there really is no such
thing as family togetherness in professional
sports and that the Pirates' record .323 Series
batting average was a far mightier factor than
team unity.
"Someone asked me if 'The Family,' was over-
rated," Stargell said after pounding Baltimore
pitching and accepting the Series' MVP Award.
"That bothered me because this person didn't
live with us and didn't see how we depended on
each other . . . We had to scratch, we had to
crawl and we did it together because 'We Are
.Family.' "
The disco tune, by the group Sister Sledge, has
one segment that goes. "We've just begun to get
our share of this world's delights."
What does the future hold for the Pirates''
What about Stargell? Will he be too old next
season? Well, he was too old for THIS season at
38 and he carried the team on his back when it
counted most. So don't count Willie out.

AP National League All-Stars

Lee, Niekro voted top pitchers

NEW YORK (AP) — Bill Lee. an injury-
plagued American Leaguer for the past few
seasons, was among those named today to The
Associated Press' National League All-Star
baseball team for 1979.
Lee, selected ar the left-handed pitcher on the
AP's NL team, reversed his field this year by
winning 16 games for the Montreal Expos and
compiling a 3.04 earned run average in 222 inn-
ings.
The victory total was the most that Lee had
compiled since winning 17 games for the Boston
Red Sox in 1975. In the three subsequent seasons
for Boston, Lee had amassed a total of just 24
triumphs while suffering through an assortment
of hurts that included a bad pitching arm.

sports writers and broadcasters to win the berth
over Philadelphia's Steve Carlton, who had 76.

Astros, was the choice as the right-handed pit-
cher over teammate J.R. Richard. The voting
margin there was 120-83.
Bruce Suiter, who posted a league-leading 37
saves for the Chicago Cubs, was the runaway
choice as the NL's Ail-Star relief pitcher, collec-
ting 196 votes.
San Diego's Dave Win field, with 34 homers, 118
RBI and a .308 batting average, was the leading
vote-getter with 216 for one of the outfield berths.
The rest of the NL's All-Star outfield included
Dave Kingman of the Chicago Cubs with 199
votes and Dave Parker of the Pittsburgh Pirates
with 152, both easy winners over their nearest
competitor, Cincinnati's George Foster.
The remainder of the team included three
players from the St. Louis Cardinals — f i r s t '
baseman Keith Hernandez < 176 votes), shortstop
Garry Templeton <129> and catcher Ted Sim-
mons (114) — along with second baseman Dave
Lopes of the Los Angeles Dodgers (158) and third
baseman Mike Schmidt of the Philadelphia
Phillies (109).
The American League AllStar team, announc-
ed earlier, featured four members of the Califor-
nia Angels: Don Baylor as designated hitter, Rod

Demon air attack

surprises Bulldogs
By DAN WILLIAMS
The New Mexican Staff
Santa Fe football fans were expec-
ting an Irnpresslve air show Friday
night when Albuquerque High came
to town with its pass-oriented of-
fense. They got just what they ex-
pected, but from the wrong team.
For the second straight week, the
third-ranked Demons showed op-
ponents that their passing game can
be a threat almost equal to their run-
ning attack. Quarterbacks Steve
Baca and Terry Tiner threw a com-
bined 22 passes in the Demons' 3&-B
homecoming victory. Two of Baca's
passes were caught for touchdowns
ofi;5 and 5 yards by Alfred Sena.
"We threw the ball well tonight,"
said Church, whose team boosted its
record to 6-1 for the year and 3-0 in
and was unable to connect with
Miller all night.
Miller did manage to put some
points on the board for the Bulldogs,
however, scoring his team's only
touchdown on an 85-yard kickoff
return in the second quarter.
A trio of running backs contributed
to the Demons' scoring attack. Tiner,
who spent most of the game at
halfback, had his best game of the
season with 117 yards in 20 carries in-
cluding a l-yard touchdown. Frank
Lucero stunned Bulldog defenders
with a 42-yard touchdown run in the
fourth quarter to boost his total yar-
dage to 70 yards in seven carries.
Running back Mark Martinez gave
the Demons their only other score,
but it occurred while he was alter-
nating as a defensive linebacker.
times and finished the ballgame with
minus 40 yards.
Overall, Santa Fe finished the
game with 443 offensive yards, 319
rushing and 124 passing. Albuquer-
que, which dropped to 4-2 for the year
and 2-1 in league play, had 31 yards
rushing and 24 passing for 55. They

The Albuquerque Bulldogs pro-

with their air attack.
The 'Dogs entered Friday's game
sporting the No. 2 passer in Albu-

been Greg Miller, who also happened
to be the city's leading scorer.

the ball at the 10 yard line and runn-
ing it in for the score. In the rushing
department, he compiled 85 yards in
17 carries. Reyes Aguilar picked off
another Wilder pass late in the fourth
quarter.
The Bulldogs had even worse luck
when they tried to run the football.
Demon defenders held the 'Dogs to
only 41 yards on the ground and ac-
tually pushed them back five yards in
the second half. Wilder suffered the

season, is The Associated Press' AL

time in his career.
Weaver collected 166 votes from a
'nationwide panel of sports writers

Krepfle making the most of Eagle opportunity

PHILADELPHIA (GNS) — It is a
time for I-told-you-sos.
"When I traded Charlie Young, I
said then we had a player who would
make you forget all about Young,"
Philadelphia coach Dick Vermeil
said.
That player was Keith Krepfle.
The prophecy, doubted by many at
the time three years ago, has come
true.
Young, once a glamor boy of All-
Pro teams, is now a forgotten man on
the Los Angeles Rams bench.
Krepfle has blossomed into a solid,
if colorless, performer with the
Eagles, now tied for the lead with
mighty Dallas in the NFC East.
"I'm happy to get a chance to start
In this league," he said.
Now seasoned with three years
worth of Sunday afternoons, he still
remembers the uncertain days of his
career's beginnings.
"It was a goal to be a starter," he
said. "It's good to have goals. They
give you something to shoot for, keep
you motivated. When Charlie was
traded, I wasn't sure I could be the
starter. I did know I was going to get
my chance."
Krepfle has made the most of the
opportunity.
He has been one of the bright spots
in a season so far filled with many
gleaming moments for the Eagles.
He leads in average gain per catch
with a gaudy 19.6-yards per recep-
tion. .
Despite the start, Krepfle hasn't
relaxed.
This larger clone of preacher
Vermeil pounds the Eagle bible of
success with the same religious fer-
vor.
He speaks of hard work, character
and goals again.
"I've always wanted to play in the
playoffs. That's my next goal. That's
what I want now. I could have done it
last year, but I got hurt. This season
looks like I might get my chance."
While wounded egos beat in the
breasts of some of the beasts that,
make up this professional football
team, Krepfle harbors no such muffl-
ed screams for recognition.
"It really doesn't mean anything,
making All-Pro or things like that. I
just want to play and win. I'm never
going to be confused with a good
athlete. I never have."
The voice is lower, the smile and
shoulders somewhat broader, but
this 27-year-old Iowa State graduate
can mimic Vermeil perfectly when
talking of Philadelphia's sudden rise.
"We have good athletes on this
team, likely better players than peo-
ple give us credit for," he said. "But
there's no secret about why we're
sucessful. It's Vermeil. We go into
games better prepared than any
team in football. He goes over
everything during the week."
Krepfle, though, isn't above mut-
tering silent oaths on the longer days
of the boot camp.
"I'm not crazy. Nobody would like
to work that much all the time. Sure,
there are days when you've been out
there for what seems like three hours
and you wonder to yourself, 'why are
we going over this again.'"
Krepfle has no quarrel with the
results.
"Even in his first year, Vermeil
made us competitive. We lost so
many games in the last few minutes.
"On Sundays, all the work (now)
seems worthwhile.''
Even during the sweaty practice
routine, Krepfle is in love with his
position. The best at his position run
very fast for men so large. The
Eagles' choice to fill that spot neither
runs as fast as some nor is as large as
others.
"I think I'm big enough," he said.
"I'm not as big as (Dave) Casper or
(Russ) Francis, but I don't think my
size (225 pounds) hurts me. There are
guys faster than me, but I'm quick
enough to get it done."
And there's the appeal of his place
in the formation. j•
"I think it's the best position in
football. At light end, you're never
out of the play. If we're passing;
you're out on a pattern and if we gota
running play, then my block is impof-
tant. I get a kick out of blocking and
seeing a guy get a good gain. Then
it's the same thing as an offensive. .
lineman." ;:
He credits the pass-catching iiji-
provement to quarterback Ron
Jaworski. ;~
"Really, I think my getting better
is attributed to Jaworski's improve^
ment," he said. "When he first gfct
here, he used to zing every pass. It
used to hurt to watch 'em. Now, be

And the hard-working tight end

GALLUP - What was expected to
J>e the Santa Fe Demons' toughest
battle of the District iAAAA cam-
paign turned out to be just another
league mismatch here Friday night —
courtesy of the Gallup Bengals.
The Bengals did their best to make
sure the third-ranked Demons didn't
leave town empty-handed, con-
tributing six turnovers and a sluggish
offensive performance that resulted
to a 52-6 rout and Santa Fe's fourth
straight district win.
"I thought Gallup was going to be
the toughest of the year for us," a
pleased Santa Fe coach David Church
said, "We weren't rea'ly expecting
this ... now we'll Just have to wait
and see."
The victory put the Demons in the
driver's seat of the 1AAAA race at 4-0
Overall, Santa Fe now stands at 7-1
Gallup, expected to be a challenger in
the league this season, fell to 2-2 in
district play and 5-2-1 overall.
Three fumbles and three pass in-
terceptions did most of the damage to
the Bengals Friday night, and the
gifts were well received by the op-
portunistic Demons who converted
three of the Gallup turnovers into
touchdowns.
Running back Mark Martinez led
the Santa Fe scoring parade, hitting
tne end zone on four occasions He
Overturned a 6-0 Gallup lead with
three touchdowns in a row in the first
quarter on runs of 9,2 and 1, then pun-

a bad snap. : . .

inging down two touchdown aerials a
12-yarder from Terry Tiner and a 22-

end zone from 7 yards out for Santa

Santa Fe
ices Grants
By DAN WILLIAMS
The New Mexican Staff
Who says it's not a good idea to
pass the football w h e n the
temperature drops below freezing?
Certainly not Santa Fe coach David
Church.
Church, whose third-ranked
Demons disposed of Grants 56-0 Fri-
day night, did not think it unusual
that almost half his team's yardage
came through the air. In fact, he con-
sidered the rout as a good opportuni-
ty for the Demons to polish their
passing game.
And that they did. Cold hands and a
frozen f o o t b a l l in 29-degree
temperatures didn't even phase San-
ta Fe's air attack. Quarterbacks
Steve Baca and Terry Tiner con-
nected on 10 of 13 attempts for 214
yards and three touchdowns, a
season high for the Demons.
"We felt like we had to get Tiner
and Baca some more passing ex-
perience," Church said after the
game. "It worked out real well for us.
I think we passed the ball more
(yards) than we ran it tonight. We
were able to do some things that
we've been wanting to try for a long
time."
Baca's arm did most of the damage
to a surprised Grants secondary, hit-
ting 8 of 10 attempts for 145 yards.
Two of his aerials went for
touchdowns and he completed two
more for two-point PATs. Louis
Briones caught Baca's f i r s t
touchdown pass, a 19-yarder. The se-
cond went to Randy Bertram from 2
yards out.
Bertram, who has been out of the
Demon lineup much of the season
with an injury, went on to lead the
team in receiving with 95 yards, in-
cluding a 33-yard touchdown pass
from Tiner in the fourth quarter.
The Santa Fe running game didn't
do so bad either. Baca, Briones and
Mark Martinez paced the Demons
230-yard effort, bringing the total of-
fensive figure to 444 yards.
Martinez added a p a i r of
touchdowns to the Demon tally,
scoring first on a 5-yard run, then
breaking loose on the opening kickoff
of the second a half and racing 86
yards into the end zone.
Briones' only run of the night went
56 yards for a touchdown halfway
Snorts Sectr c
through the second quarter. Tiner ad-
ded a 10-yard score scoring run to the
rout and teammate Marco Lucero hit
the end zone from 4 yards out late in
the first half.
The victory boosted Santa Fe's
record to 8-1 overall and 5-0 in
District 1AAAA competition. It also
clinched the league championship for
the D e m o n s as t h e i r only
challengers, Farmington and Albu-
querque High, lost Friday night. Far-
mington (3-2) suffered a 29-0 defeat
at the hands of Gallup (3-2) and Albu-
querque High (3-2) lost to Los
Alamos (2-3) 41-16.
The Demons will end their league
campaign with two more games at
Espanola Valley and Farmington.
While the Demon offense was busy
pounding out yardage Friday night,
its defense was pulverizing the
Pirates.
Grants, which dropped to 2-7
overall and 2-3 in 1AAAA, only
managed 103 yards total offense and
threatened to score only once. The
Pirates pushed their way across the
Demon 20 yard line in the third
quarter, but fumbled the ball away
before they could close in on the goal
line.
In all, Santa Fe forced Grants to
fumble the football four times, turn-
ing three of the turnovers into scores.
The Demons return to action Satur-

Flame-throwing Ryan picked

twice in Ist-round of draft
NEW YORK (AP) - In the fourth
year of the baseball's reentry draft
the owners apparently have decided
to engage in some selective shopping.
Rather than go after the high-
priced free agents in a spiraling
dollar war, some clubs seemed con-
tent to aim a little lower in hopes of
turning up a bargain in the annual
auction Friday.
So flame-throwing Nolan Ryan, the
brightest jewel in this year's class of
44 free agents, was chosen just twice
in the first round of the draft, while
Minnesota's Dave Goltz, a talented
right-hander who's not quite in
Ryan's class, went the maximum 13
times.
The Texas Rangers and Houston
Astros were the first teams to draft
Ryan, setting up an intra-state bid-
ding battle that should prove
fascinating. They were subsequently
joined by 10 other clubs — St. Louis,
Milwaukee, Atlanta, the New York
Yankees, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles,
San Diego, Montreal, Cleveland and
San Francisco — in the Ryan
sweepstakes.
For some teams, Ryan appears to
be a primary target. Atlanta owner
Ted Turner, for example, picked only
three players — Goltz, Ryan and pit-
cher Al Hrabosky and then quickly
left the draft. Houston also picked on-
ly two other players besides Ryan
and they were budget type selections
— infielder Rennie Stennett and
reliever Skip Lockwood.
Other teams, like the Rangers,
made Ryan one of a fistful of choices!
Texas chose him first and then kept
right on picking players, making
selections for 22 of the draft's 28
rounds.
Ryan has expressed a desire to
return to his home state of Texas and
that could mean a showdown bet-
ween the Rangers and Houston. The
Astros have been more aggressive
lately when it comes to spending
money, signing pitcher J.R. Richard
and outfielder Jose Cruz to long
term, expensive deals.
Obviously, teams felt some others
in the draft would come a little
cheaper. Goltz was a favorite for the
bargain hunters and became the first
player ever to be closed out with the
maximum 13 selections in the first
round. He was picked by Atlanta, San
Diego, the Chicago White Sox, Los
Angeles, Philadelphia, Kansas City,
St. Louis, California, Cincinnati,
Montreal, Boston, Pittsburgh and
Milwaukee.
The only other players chosen by
the maximum 13 teams were pitcher
Bruce Kison, who was closed out in
the third round, pitcher John Curtis,
who lasted until the fifth round, and
infielder Rennie Stennett.

1AAAA clincher
By RICK WEBER
The New Mexican Staff
Imagine the Dallas Cowboys play-
ing the University of New Mexico
Lobos, the Pittsburgh Pirates taking
on Santa Fe American Legion Post
101, the Seattle SuperSonics squaring
off against the College of Santa Fe.
.That's what Saturday's Santa Fe-
Espanola Valley game shapes up to
be. It's David and Goliath all over
again. No matter how you look at it,
there's something strange about the
matchup. The third-ranked Demons,
winners of all five district games and
eight of nine overall, have outgained
their opponents by a staggering 2,282
yards and outscored them by 282
points. The unranked Sundevils,
winless in eight games, still haven't
scored — and really haven't come
close.
You don't have to be Albert Eins-
tein to figure out that the Demons are
heavily favored. In fact, rumors
were circulating that Demon coach
David Church would put his third-
string squad out on the field for the
1:30 p.m. kickoff at Hunter Field.
Church says no.
"We're gonna start our first
team," Church said brusquely. "I
talked to the players and they believe
that it would be a slam to our op-
ponents and a slam to us if we didn't
put our best out there. We're gonna
play it just like a game against
Gallup, Farmington or Albuquerque.

C-2.
By human nature, the Demon
players might be inclined to go at less
than full throttle. Church doesn't
want to see that. And he doesn't
honestly expect it.
"A true champion goes out and
plays its best all the time," he said.
"I don't want our players to go out
and fool around and not give 100 per-
cent. We're gonna go 100 percent on
offense and 100 percent on defense.
We're gonna go up there and do the
best we possibly can without fooling
around.
"This group doesn't know how to
play easy. Our players know that ii
they want to earn statewide respect,
they have to play a good ballgame.
There will probably be some scouts
in the stands. I don't want them to
think, 'If Santa Fe plays someone
easy, they let up.' I want them to
realize we whup everyone's butts."
For the Sundevils, it's a classic
case of "everything to gain and
nothing to lose." Sundevil coach Tom
Lopez, who handed in his letter of
resignation effective at the end of the
season, realizes that.
"The kids know who they are going
against," Lopez said. "They (the
Demons) are third in the state.
They've shown they're gonna be up
there. They're always tough.
"Espanola has always been
predicted to lose. The kids know that.
If we show well, it's gonna help the
team and the community. If we can
play decent football this weekend, it
can only help."
It won't oe easy. Santa Fe is peak-
ing right now. After a painful 35-6 loss
to Albuquerque Eldorado in the third
week of the season, the Demons have
reeled off six straight wins by a.'Com-
bined margin of 295-26. And the
Demons have a 20-game winning t '
streak in district games — the
longest in the state.
"This group never surprises me
anymore," Church said. "They con-
tinue to do things well. For the past
three weeks, we've done nothing but
improve. And we have to continue to
improve. That's the thing that's gon-
na carry us in the playoffs."
But how will Church be able to tell
if the Demons' improve against the
Sundevils, a team that provides near-
ly all of its opponents with season-
high totals?
"The big thing is if we see a great
attitude wijh execution and timing,"
he said- "Then we'll be able to tell
whether or not we're improving."
Actually, the Demons do have *
some incentive to improve. With last
week's 56-0 romp over Grants, the
Demons clinched a playoff spot and
at least a share of the district crown.
One more win gives them the title
outright and assures them of the
home field advantage in their first-
round playoff game against the
District 4 runnerup.
"It's mathematically possible to
finish in a tie with Gallup, Farm-
ington and Albuquerque, but we're
not looking at that," Church said.
"We don't plan on losing any district
games. I like to say we're district
champs, but people say, 'No, you
aren't yet.' We have definitely clinch-
ed a tie. If we beat Espanola, we're
district champs." *
Only six feet of snow could stop the
Demons.

I Even without fifth man Darrel

I Alire still has reason to be optimistic.
I Mainly because of the strength in the
top three Demon runners.
No. 1 runner Peter Graham enters
Saturday's meet carrying a string of
14 triumphs this year, and team-
mates Everette Gonzales, Larry
Romero and Greg Hoover are never
far behind.
"Peter has already probably set a
record for a runner in the state with
14 in a row, and he's under a lot of
pressure," Alire said. "But Peter can
take care of himself.
"But while most people think it's
an individual thing, we look at it as a
team sport with all six men playing a
role and playing it right," Alire said.
"If the other kids don't come around,
it could mean the district or state
championship."
Overall team health could be even
more important next week when the
Demon runners assault their fifth
Class AAAA crown in six years. The
Demons breezed to the title last
season with a perfect record of 18
straight wis.
That means another victory Satur-
day would increase the Demons'
overall streak to 33, which would be
no small feat according to Alire.
"For the past seven years our.
district has been the toughest district
in the state," Alire said. "Every year
we usually place one-two-three ... or
four."
Although AI ire believes his team
can win again Saturday despite its il-
lnesses, he said the battle for second
could be a toss-up.
"Los Alamos looks real good and of
course there's (Albuquerque) West
Mesa and Grants," Alire said. "It's
just a matter of their personnel wan-
ting to run."
That's something Alire won't have
to worry about Saturday.

Bryant, who is trying to become
the first college coach ever to win 100

said. "If you haven't been there

Beasley, offensive guard Bill Searcy,
fullback Charley Williams and runn-

said. "We have had more injuries

in title clincher
By DAN WILLIAMS
The New Mexican Staff
ESPANOLA — Early in the
ballgame, even the Espanola fans
were cracking jokes about their
team's fruitless efforts against Santa
Fe High School. But there was
nothing funny about the outcome of
Saturday's District 1AAAA contest.
The 80-0 rout was downright
pathetic.
Even Santa Fe coach David
Church, whose Demons had just won
their fourth straight league cham-
pionship and a shot at the state
playoffs, was not his usual self after
the important win.
"I really feel sorry for their
(Espanola) kids," Church said as he
prepared to board the team bus. "But
what could we do? We played our se-
cond, third and fourth team people
since the first quarter . . . and you
just can't tell a group of young men
not to score.
- "When we took a big lead in the
first quarter and knew we were going
to win, we just wanted to get it over
with," Church said. By halftime, so
did the Sundevils.
Team captains from both sides
agreed at the half to let the clock run

sprain. Red Star was treated and released. Church said his game plan was to let
as many of his players score as he
could. Had it not been for a couple of
Sundevil errors, that plan would have
worked to perfection.
The Demons used 14 running backs
in the mismatch and 10 scored
touchdowns.Quarterback SteveBaca
and running back Marco Lucero both
scored twice, Baca on a 31-yard run
and a 65 punt return, Lucero on a 9-
yard run in the first quarter then
again in the fourth when he scooped
up a Sundevil fumble and ran it in
from the 5.
Starting running backs Mark Mar-
tinez, Terry Tiner and Louis Briones
contributed to the rout with
touchdown runs of 25, 21 and 1 yards,
respectively. The remaining Demon
touchdowns came from reserve
backs.
Paul Ortiz punched his way in from
the 1, Donald Trujillo from the 23 and
Mark Lopez from the 1 for second-
quarter touchdowns. Reserve
quarterback Frank Lucero found the
endzone on a 1-yard run in the third
quarter and Martin Esquivel scored
from the 20 in the fourth quarter after
he picked up a teammate's fumble.
Even the Demon reserves had no
problems getting through the
Espanola defense. Santa Fe's longest
scoring drive of the afternoon
amounted to only six plays and the
Demons scored on all but two posses-
sions.
The Sundevils were not as for-
tunate when they got the football.
They fumbled the ball nine times and
the Demons recovered five. Even
when they did keep a hold on the foot-
ball, the Sundevils were usually
stuck for a loss. In all, Espanola run-
ners were sacked behind the line of
scrimmage 13 times, with quarter-
back Abran Salazar hit for minus 43
yards.
The total Espanola offensive effort
came to minus 44 yards and their
deepest penetration into Demon ter-
ritory was stopped at the 45-yard
line.
Despite the lopsided score, the
Demons only managed 185 yards in
offense. That was mostly due to the
fact that they usually got good field
position on the kickoffs and punts. All
but one of Santa Fe's drives started
in Espanola territory.
The Demons, who have now won or
shared the District 1AAAA title since
1976, have one more game on their
schedule before they host District
4AAAA runner-up Roswell High
School in the first round of the state
playoffs. Santa Fe closes out the
season Friday in Farmington.
Espanola Valley, winless and
scoreless in nine games, wraps up its
campaign Saturday in Albuquerque

mar Sundevil loss
By RICK WEBER
The New Mexican Staff
ESPANOLA— Saturday afternoon's Santa Fe-
Espanola Valley football game was cut short in the
second half. But it still lasted too long for one
Sundevil player — about four m inutes too long.
With 4:10 remaining in the fourth quarter of the
Demons' 80-0 rout, Santa Fe wingback John Gunter
swept right and was met by defensive end Ron Red
Star and linebacker Steve Madrid. All three players
sprawled on the ground as the ball went loose, Mar-
tin Esquivel picked it up and rambled 20 yards for
the Demons' final score. Gunter got up. Madrid got
up. But Red Star lay nearly motionless on the
hardened turf of Hunter Field. He didn't get up
Sundevil coach Tom Lopez rushed out to aid Red
Star. Soon he was joined by the officials and his
assistant coaches. After 10 minutes, Red Star was
still flat on his back. It was apparent that he hadn't
simply had his bell rung.
An ambulance arrived and Red Star was gingerly
placed on a stretcher and taken to Espanola
Hospital. X-rays revealed no broken bones and the
injury was diagnosed as a severe sprain of the neck.
Red Star was released from the hospital shortly
after 6 p.m. — much to the relief of Demon coach
David Church.
"We were concerned because anytime there's an
injury to the neck or the back, it can be serious,"
Church said. "We felt better when our manager
said he was moving his hands and legs and had
some feeling in his body. Those are good signs.
"I felt he was in good hands. The.y took a lot of
care with him and used good on-fie]d precautions."
Church felt bad about the injury — particularly
because it happened long after the game's outcome
had been decided — and apologized to Tom Lopez
after the game.
"I'm sorry the kid got hurt," Church said."I feel
bad about any kid getting hurt in a game. I know no
one tried to do it. We had no intention to hurt
anybody."
Ironically, the officials and team captains had
met at halftime and decided to keep the clock runn-
ing in the second half, stopping it only for timeouts
and touchdowns. They were concerned about
preventing any injuries from occuring.
"That was the whoie intent." one official said.
"We shortened the half because we thought
somebody might slack off and get hurt. It's a shame
it happened. We were even thinking of stopping it
completely, but the kids wanted to play."
Red Star's injury was bad enough, but the
Sundevils' afternoon was made even worse by their
record-setting performances.
For starters, the 80-0 loss was the Sundeviis' ninth
consecutive scoreless game, breaking the modern
state season record of eight set by Truth or Conse-
quences in 1970. T or C went scoreless for the first
eight games, then scored a touchdown in its season-
ending 80-8 loss. No team in New Mexico's modern
prep history (since 1950) has gone scoreless for an
entire season.
' The Sundevils are nearing the national record of
15 consecutive scoreless games set by Big Bay De
Noc High School in Michigan. Big Bay went
scoreless in all eight games in 1978 and its first
seven games of the 1979 season.
Espanola Valley also tied the modern state
record for consecutive scoreless games over any
period of time. T or C failed to score in its last game
of the 1969 season, then went eight games in 1970
without scoring.
The Sundevils are also nearing T or C's record of
457 straight points given up. The Sundevils gave up
seven points after scoring for the last time in'the
1978 season finale against Aibuquerque High and
have given up 437 straight points this season for a
grand total of 444.
The 437 points-against total also broke the
Espanola Valley season record of 392, set in the 1970
season, when the Sundevils went 0-9-1. The 80-point
loss was the largest margin of defeat in school
history, tying the margin set earlier in the season The New M«lcan/BarbaracllenKoch

By DAN WILLIAMS
The New Mexican Staff
FARMINGTON - The Santa Fe
Demons have known from the begin-
ning of the season that they had a po-
tent offensive weapon in the arm of
quarterback Steve Baca. They just
never had the opportunity to really
use it.
The third-ranked Demons got that
chance here Friday night when Baca
capitalized on a weak Farmington
secondary and passed for five
touchdowns and a two-point conver-
sion to lead his team to a 35-0 rout.
Overall, Baca punished the Scor-
pions by hitting 18 of 31 attempts. His
58 percent passing effort accounted
for 283 of the Demons' 468 yards total
offense.
"I guess I was throwing pretty well
tonight," the modest senior said as
he and his teammates celebrated the
climax of a 10-1 regular season. "I
was off on a couple of routes, but
overall I was glad we were able to
throw alot."

playing an Okie (defense) all season
and I guess they changed their whole
theory," Church said. "We'll throw
the ball anytime its open, and it was
open tonight."
Demon end Randy Bertram found
himself in the clear throughout the
game and Baca was usually quick to
deliver. Bertram brought down three
of Baca's touchdown passes from 47,
20 and 35 yards out. He finished the
game with seven receptions and 153
yards.
Louis Briones and Alfred Sena
snagged the other two Demon
touchdown passes. Briones put Santa
Fe on the Scoreboard first with a 17-
yard reception and Sena caught a 15-
yarder in the second quarter.
Terry Tiner added three additional
points to the Santa Fe tally with a 27-
yard field goal in the first quarter.
The Demon defense also played its
part in handing the Scorpions their
fifth defeat in 11 outings, holding Far-
mington to 175 yards total offense
and recording its sixth shutout of the
season. Santa Fe defenders James
Duran, Reyes Aguilar and Bill Laden
each had eight unassisted tackles
and contributed to the Demons' 12
sacks.
Farmlngton's only serious scoring
threat came early in the second
quarter when It made it all the way to
the Santa Fe 3-yard line only to be

Clayton stops McCurdy

in Class A A playoffs
By RICK WEBER
The New Mexican Staff
ESPANOLA — McCurdy Mission
coach Bob Wood preferred to speak
positively after his team's 30-14 loss to
third-ranked Clayton Friday in the
quarterfinals of the Class AA state
playoffs. And he had every right to.
Even though the Bobcats were bat-
tered and outmuscled by a much big-
ger Clayton team, even though they
were playing a much more experienc-
ed team that had won the state title in
1977 and placed second in 1978, they
never gave up. That made Wood hap-
py.
"Frankly, we were physically out-
jnuscled," Wood said. "They beat us
up physically out there. They really
had us outmanned in the line. We had
to play a kid, Adam Martinez, at of-
fensive guard for the first time. He on-
ly weighs 110 pounds and there's no
way he could handle their 180-pound
guys.
"That's a good team we played.
They're real tough. They're just big,
strong, well-conditioned and weli-
coached. We were pleased just to be in
the game. This kind of stuff is new to
our kids. We were real jittery and it
showed. But the kids gave it
everything they had. They never
quit.".
The Bobcats could have easily given
up at almost any point in the game,
especially late in the fourth quarter,
when Clayton drove down near the
Bobcats' goal line and was threaten-
ing to add to its 30-6 lead. But McCur-
dy stopped the Yellowjackets on a
fourth down and goal from the 3-yard-
line, then drove 97 yards for a
touchdown.
"I'm very proud that we just don't
quit. In our first game of the year
against Moriarty, we scored 14 points
in the last quarter and almost won.
We tried to do the same thing today.
We did everything we could."
It was apparent early in the game
that McCurdy's best effort probably
wouldn't be enough. After stopping
the Bobcats cold on the opening series
of the game, Clayton drove 60 yards in
12 plays for a touchdown and went up
6-0.
The next time the Yellowjackets got
the ball, they chewed nearly six
minutes off the clock and charged 75
yards for their second score, a 4-yard
run by Larry Fry.
On their third possession, they add-
ed a 25-yard field goal by Joey San-
doval to go up 17-0.
The halftime statistics told a very
grim story. The Yellowjackets held
the edge in every category: in first
downs, 13-2; in rushing yardage, 128-
23; in passing yardage, 54-35; in total
yardage, 182-58; and in plays, 32-22.
"We didn't play well at all in the
first half," Wood said. "We didn't
make the right adjustments to what
they were doing. We just couldn't
block.
"We made some adjustments at
halftime, got together and looked a lit-
tle better. We had some success pass-
ing in the second half because we did a
better job of blocking."
The Bobcats tried to run the bail,
but they met with little success. So
they alternated senior Greg Tyra and
junior Tim Burgett at quarterback
good. Burgett completed four of six
passes for 71 yards and Tyra chipped
in with two completions in five at-
tempts for 51 yards. Both quarter-
backs were instrumental in the
touchdown drives, which culminated
in plunges of 3 and 1 yards by running
back Kevin Wood.
But it wasn't enough. Clayton had
built up a sizable lead and was content
to roll up chunks of yardage on the
ground. All the Yellowjackets did was
hand off to Larry Fry, their powerful
running back. Fry scored three
touchdowns and ran the ball 25 times
for 123 yards. He was clearly the
dominant force in the game.
"We had scouted Clayton a couple
of times and we knew about him,"
Wood said. "But there wasn't much
we could do to stop him. He's a horse.
He's a man playing among boys."
The Yellowjackets are now 8-3 and
their state title train is right on track.
They will tske on the winner of to-
day's Eunice-Hatch game next
weekend in the semifinals of the state
tournament.
McCurdy, which was ranked eighth
in Class AA going into the game,
finished the season with a 5-5 record
and the District 1AA title. Nobody at
McCurdy is complaining about that.

Free agent Tony Perez signs

3-year contract with Boston
BOSTON (AP) — Veteran slugger
Tony Perez got his wish to move to the
American League Friday, agreeing to
terms for a guaranteed three-year con-
tract with the Boston Red Sox.
"I'm very happy, t think they can
uae me," Perez said In a telephone In-
terview from his home In Puerto Rico.
Perez, whose 1975 World Series
homer still haunts Boston, said be was
not surprised when he was picked by
tbe Red Sox in the free agent re-entry
draft two weeks ago.
"When they lost Bob Watson, I knew
they needed a righthanded hitting
first baseman," he said. "I've watch-
ed the Red Sox a lot on television and
hoped to be able to Join them.
"I know I'm 37, but I feel I have a lot
of baseball left, at least three more
years. I feel the same today" as I felt
five years ago.""
Perez discounted a mediocre 1979
season while with the Montreal Ex-
pos. He was unhappy at frequent rest
periods in which Rusty Staub played
first for Montreal.
"I like to play every day as much as
possible, and I think I'll get 600 at bats
and do a lot better with the Red Sox,"
he said. "Tony Perez can still hit. You
can bet on that"
Perez, a former Cincinnati Reds'
star, played three years for Montreal.
Now he's viewed as a replacement for"
Watson, a right-handed slugger who
signed as a free agent with the New
York Yankees.
Perez played 12 seasons with the
Reds and helped Cincinnati to a
seven-game victory over Boston in the
1975 World Series. In the final game,

Demons get Lions

new playoff
test tonight
By DAN WILLIAMS
The New Mexican Staff
If, as the old saying goes, "The
third time around is the charm,"
then Santa Fe coach David Church
and his Demon football team are in
big trouble. Their third straight trip
to the state playoffs ended in another
first-round loss last season.
But that hasn't stopped the
Demons from coming back for more,
and the fourth time around, Church
says his team is ready to break that
string of losses.
. The third-ranked Santa Fe squad
will get its chance tonight at Magers
•Field when it takes on the Roswell
High School Coyotes in a Class AAAA
quarter-final battle. Kickoff is 7:30
p.m.
"It means a lot for us to win this
one," Church said. "We need to show
people we're better than just good
enough to get here. We owe it to our
league and want to represent the
district well in the playoffs."
Just how well the District" 1 AAAA
champion Demons fare in the -
playoffs will depend upon what the
Coyotes have to offer tonight.
Roswell earned its berth in post-
seaon play by finishing its regular
season as the District 4AAAA runner-
up. And the Coyotes have a string of
their own that they would like to see
broken.
Tonight will mark the first time
Roswell has made the state playoffs
since 1955, one of two years the
Coyotes won the state title. They also
won state in 1953.
"We really have to win it," Roswell
coach Paul Erhman said of tonight's
battle with the Demons. "It's a do-or-
die situation for us. I'm just hoping
our kids are not too tight.''
The winner of tonight's Demons-
Coyotes battle will advance to the
state semifinals against the survivor
of the Albuquerque Highland-
Albuquerque Cibola contest, also
scheduled tonight.
On paper, the Demons appear to
hold enough edge to loosen up the
Coyotes. In establishing itself as the
state's highest scoring and stingiest
team, Santa Fe has piled up 458
points to opponents' 61. The Coyotes
scored 178 points this season and
gave up 141.
Comparative offensive figures arc
even more lopsided. In its 10-1
season, Santa Fe compiled 4,445
yards, 3,092 rushing and 1,353 pass-
ing. Roswell, which finished its
regular season wih a 7-4 record,
managed to gain 2,920 yards and
2,196 of that was on the ground.
Those figures have led Church to
believe the key to a win against the
Coyotes will be in stopping their run-
ning game.
"We've seen six films of them this
season and the whole staff saw them

HAGERMAN (AP ) —
Halfback Tony Becerra scored a
touchdown and teammate Oscar

goal late Thursday to spark
Hagerman to a 9-7 New Mexico

This is the third consecutive

and its second straight cham-

Demons
RHS By DAN WILLIAMS
The New Mexican Staff
The Santa Fe Demons provided the
punch in Friday night's 41-3 state
quarterfinal victory over Roswell
High School, but it was Mother
Nature who gave the Coyotes the
worst sting of all.
"We're not used to the cold, you
know that," a visibly upset Roswell
coach Paul Erhman said after the
game. "We've never played in this
kind of cold. We never even had to
play in the rain."
The temperature at Magers Field
dipped into the teens Friday night, a
factor all observers could see was
taking its toll on the big southern
New Mexico team. And it cost the
Coyotes their first shot at the state ti-
tle since 1955.
The story on the other side of the
field was altogether different. The
Demons, chasing theirmnth straight
victory and their first playoff win in,
four tries, were seemingly unaf-
fected by the cold. Coach David
Church was perhaps the hottest of
all. He wore only a windbreaker the
entire game.
Despite the icy temperatures, San-
ta Fe did most of its damage through
the air. Quarterback Steve Baca hit 6
of 12 attempts for 95 yards and con-
nected with end Randy Bertram
twice for touchdowns. Bertram's
first touchdown came on a 9-yard
pass and gave Santa Fe a lead they
would never relinquish. Baca hit him
again from 46 yards out in the
Demons' 26-point second-quarter.
"Our passing game was excellent
tonight," Church said after con-
gratulating his team at midfield.

CSF Knights win battle

By RICK WEBER
The New Mexican Staff
It's a good thing the Scoreboard at
the College of Santa Fe gym wasn't
working.Friday right. Because if it
were operative, it would have short-
circuited.
CSF and Texas Lutheran College
were so hot they would have made it
look like the point counter on a pin-
ball machine. Both teams scored
nearly enough to win a National
Basketball Association game — and
they did it in 40 minutes, not 48. And
when the wild scoring affair finally
reached its climax, the Knights had
notched their third win in four deci-
sions with a 92-91 heartstopper over
the Bulldogs from Seguin, Texas.
It was a terrifying experience for
the scorekeepers, but it was even
more terrifying for CSF coach Jim
Johnston. He looked like he had just
gone through a triple-overtime battle
for the national championship.
"This was a coach's nightmare,",
Johnston said, wiping sweat from his
forehead. "I guess you have to go
through a few like it. I'm real happy
to win a game like this. That's a good

than a few easy layups.
"We didn't do a real good job of ad-

sively," Johnston said. "Our defense
is funny. It's almost impossible to
play it right without a great effort.
We had some problems with it in the

The Knights had more severe pro-
blems with their defense early in the
second half. Texas Lutheran, led by
the strong inside play of center Ron
Glover and power forward Danny
Randall, reeled off nine 'straight
points after the Knights had tied the
game at 48. Less than six minutes in-

Horsemen host Tucumcari
By WALTER K. LOPEZ
The New Mexican Staff
St. Michael's High School fans are not likely to
forget the early seventies. During the first four
years of the decade, Horsemen teams appeared
in the playoffs four times, winning the state title
on one occasion. -';
But it's been five long ,years since the
Horsemen received a post-sea'son berth — much
too long as far as Horsemen coach Richard
Alarid is concerned. '• ' . .-''
The long wait comes to an end this afternoon
when the Horsemen, who earned a post-season
playoff berth with a thrilling 14-7 victory over
West Las Vegas in the District 2AAA title game
two weeks ago, host the No. 1-ranked Tucumcari
Rattlers in a quarterfinal matchup at Brother
Abdon Field beginning at 2.
"It's a big challenge," A'.arid, making his first
trip to the playoffs in four years as Horsemen
coach, said. "It's a point where St. Mike's foot-
ball has reached statewide respectability. I an-
ticipate a very large crowd and I'll be very
disappointed if its a small crowd."
The Horsemen's last trip to the playoffs came
in 1974, when the Micks got an early ticket home
following a loss to Aztec in the opening round. In
1970, the Micks lasted through the quarterfinals
before getting knocked out by Lovington in the
semis and, in 1971, they failed to gain a
postseason berth.
• The 1972 and 1973 campaigns are the seasons
Horsemen fans and alumni like to remember. ;
In 1972, the Horsemen were devastating, mar-
ching through opponents with ease en route to
the state title. They outlasted Lovington that
year in the finale. The 1973 club nearly produced
a repeat. Again the Micks stormed into the state
title game, this time losing to rugged Albuquer-
que St. Pius in the championship.
Going into today's clash with the powerful Rat-
tlers, Alarid is confident and, after scouting the
No. 1 Rattlers a few times through the course of
the season, very much looking forward to the
meeting.
"What's nice about playing Tucumcari is that
they run a lot of the same things we do," Alarid
noted. "They run out of the 1, run a sprint-out op-
and losing momentum.
"But momentum is a funny thing,"
Johnston said. "It's hard to tell when
things are swinging your way. It
looked like things were Against us,
but I think they got a little careless
and got fat on their lead. They stop-
ped executing."
And the Knights started executing.
And stealing the ball. And scoring.
And stealing it again. And scoring.
In the space of seven minutes, the
Knights outscored their Texas bud-
dies 25-6 and took a 86-77 lead with
just two minutes left.
But as quickly as the knights had
gotten the lead, they lost it The
Bulldogs turned into, animals and
scratched and clawed to within seven
points, then five, then three and final-
ly one with just a few ticks left on the
cock. But .they fell short at the
buzzer.

also run one of the two defenses we use — the 5-2.
"We might show them a couple of different
plays. They're-going to have to stop (Mark)
Duran and our passing attack with Andy Ramos.
It'll be the best they faced all year."
With Ramos and Duran forming the nucleus,
the Horsemen offense rolled up 293 points in 10
games for a 29.3 average. It also holds a 14.2
scoring margin over opponents.
By comparison, Tucumcari, behind the leader-
ship of senior quarterback Stan David, has
tallied 279 points for a 25.3 average and has
outscored its foes by a 16.8 average.
It is interesting to note that the clubs have fac-
ed two common opponents — Las Vegas Robert-
son and Albuquerque Academy — with con-
trasting results.
St. Mike's rolled past the Chargers in Albu-
querque 25-12 early in the season and then battl-
ed Robertson to a 27-27 deadlock at Brother Ab-
don Field. The Rattlers outlasted the Cardinals
21-6 in Tucumcari in an early season matchup
and, last weekend, eliminated Academy from
the playoffs with a 39-8.thumping.
The comparative statistics seemingly points to
a high-scoring match today, weather permitting,
butTucumcari coach Dan Ward was mum on the
subject
"Lord, I don't have any idea," Ward respond-
ed when asked which route the Scoreboard will
take today. "I'd like for it to be a low scoring
game."
"I think it will be somewhere in the
neighborhood of 21-14," Alarid prognosticated.
"The big key will be for us to stop them on the
ground. We just have to be able to control the line
of scrimmage."
Tucumcari is in its first post-season playoff
since the 1966 campaign, when the Rattlers bow-
ed to Gadsden in the first round. The Rattlers'
only other playoff appearance in the 60s came in
1962, when they again were a first round victim,
this time losing to Raton.

Lack of experience
may hurt Bobcats
One of a series
By RICK WEBER
The New Mexican Staff
Warren Finch is going to feel mighty alone when
the McCurdy Mission basketball team takes the
floor this season.
The 6-0 senior is the only returning starter off last
year's Bobcat team. Not only that, he's the only
returning player.
McCurdy coach Robert Moore is still shaking his
head in disbelief over the loss of eight players from
a team that won the District 2AA title and finished
15-13. And those eight— Eric Martinez, Cliff Roller,
John Lucero, Mike Humphrey, Doug Livermore,
Mark Ledoux, Marty Martinez and Greg Tyra —
were instrumental in the successful 1978-79 cam-
paign.
Tyra would have been the second returnee, but he
decided to take a break this winter. That leaves
Finch as the only familiar face.
"To say we're rebuilding is an understatement,"
Moore said. "We're starting from -scratch.
Everybody playing this year, except for Warren, is
coming off our'B'team,
"Eric and Cliff both averaged in double figures.
But it won't just be the loss of those two — it will be
a combination of all seven. They all played well
together and were a good group to work with. I'm
just gonna miss that kind of attitude. I'm looking for
it this year, but I'm just not sure if we're gonna
have it."

With David, a 6-3, 215-pounder, calling the:

"That's been one of the surprises of the

Whatever the secret, Ward's Rattlers pulled
off 10 regular season victories, including im^:

nial power Artesia (29-0). Following last
weekend's 39-8 thumping of Academy, the Ratr
tiers enter today's contest with a perfect ll-^O
mark.
But Ward, despite the flashy statistics, re-
mains cautious.
"That game against Portales should have been
7-0 in our favor, but they gave us a lot of breaks
like tipped interceptions, fumbles and long punt
returns," he said. "That hadn't happened to us
before. - •-"

mark in the regular season and then drew a bye
to the playoff quarterfinals, put the whole seasoii

said. "It was hard to do, because we have a lot of

zales, Dan Martinez. Richard Lopez and Marcos
Lucero — have done a fine job of assistant
coaching.
"I just hope they're (Tucumcari) not as ready
as we are." •
Moore isn't afraid of the task he's faced with. He
relishes the opportunity to turn a group of inex-
perience players into a cohesive unit.
"I don't feel uneasy," he said. "I feel it's a
challenge. You've got to take what you've got and
work with it.

bably show in a lack of confidence early in the

Defense main ingredient in SF victory

By RICK WEBER
The New Mexican Staff
ALBUQUERQUE—At 6-0 and 179
pounds, Bill Layden is no hulk.
But he turned out to be a real giant
Friday night.
WhiteSteve Baca and Marco Lucero
were grabbing the attention with
their offensive wizardry, Layden
quietly brought the state football
championship to Santa Fe High
School.
It was early in the third quarter
and Albuquerque Eldorado was
slashing its way through the Demon
defense.
The Eagles were leading 15-12 and
were all the way down to the
Demons' 2-yard line. Another
touchdown and they would be in the
driver's seat.
And it looked like nothing would
stop them.
After Eldorado was pushed back to
line on an illegal motion penalty,
quarterback Jim Everett rolled out
to the left and—without any hesita-
tion—fired over the middle.
But Layden was there.
He picked off the ball at the 2.
And the throng of about 4,000
Demon fans breathed a collective
sigh of relief.
"I dropped back and saw the end
cut across the middle," Layden said
in between hugs from tearful Santa
Fe fans.
"I just froze a bit, then I stepped in
front of him. He (Everett) threw it
right to me.
"1 knew I had to get it to prevent
them from getting another TD. I
knew if I could do that, we could win.
All ;/ear long, I've been waiting for
an interception."
And he couldn't have picked a bet-
ter time for it.
"If it hadn't been for that, they pro- already know," Church said. "We
bably would have scored and it would
have been .tough for us," said Steve
Baca, who ran for 78 yards on 14 car-
ries.
"But after that, we knew we could
doit."
And the Demons did.
The defense dug in and stopped the talent. It had a lot more."
year was worth it. We came out
number one. It feels wonderful. I'll
never forget it."
L a y d e n said the Demons
remembered their early season loss
to the Eagles and the frustration that
accompanied it.
"That day, we svent into the game
as the number one team, and we
were cocky," Layden said.
"We weren't ready. They taught us
a lesson."
And while the revenge factor was
present this time around, Layden
isn't quite sure that was totally
responsible for Santa Fe's drastic
turnaround.
. "It was kind of like revenge,"
Layden said. "We were happy they
beat Clovis to get there. And we real-
ly wanted to beat them. But I think
we were looking for the title more
than revenge. The thing we wanted
was the state title."
"It was kind of like revenge."
Layden said. "We were happy they

The Demons got it—but it wasn't
easy.
"We were kind of down at times,
but we just came out and kept stick-
ing them," Baca said.
"It seemed like the momentum
was just standing there. No one had it
for a long period of time. I think the
pass to (Alfred) Sena on third and 10
(early in the fourth quarter) changed
the momentum and gave it to us."
The Demons had their backs to the
wall more than once. But they came
up with the big play—which didn't
surprise Coach David Church.

determined to beat Ags
ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — New
Mexico, rocked by a probe that left
most of its basketball team ineligi-
ble, will suit up four remaining team
members, two football players and
perhaps a trainer for Saturday
night's game against New Mexico
State.
But Coach Charlie Harrison, an
assistant who took over the head job
last week when Norm Ellenberger
was suspended, says his makeshift
squad is out to beat the university's
arch-rival.
"We're going down to win, not just
play a game," Harrison said. "We'll
try to stay as close as we can through
the game and hope we have a chance
to come on and win it at the end."
Athletic Director John Bridgers
said Thursday night that five
players, including three starters,
were ineligible and that another had
been suspended temporarily while of-
ficials try to determine whether he is
eligible to play. A sixth player, Craig
Gilbert, was declared ineligible last
week.

"And we perhaps have another kid,
who has been an athletic trainer,"
Harrison said. "I can't recall his
name, but he's about 6-4 and has been
around for two years. He knows
what's going on.
"He came in and said that if we
needed a body he'd be glad to fill in
for awhile."
Bridgers said a check of records
revealed that Larry Belin, a 6-8
center who was the team's top retur-
ning scorer, and four others — Paul
Roby, Andre Logan, Larry Hubbard
and Larry Tarrance — had been
given credit for a course they were
never enrolled in. Without the
credits, they are ineligible.
The tallest player remaining on
the roster is Jim Williams, a co-
captain along with Logan, who is 6-7.
Harrison said Jefferson has played
forward in the past. Page and
Johnson are guards.
"We've contacted several people
who will walk on later," Harrison
said. "I'd rather go with what we've
got — people who have been
associated with us for a while. We'll
try to fill some holes Monday so we'll
have enough people to practice."
Harrison said the situation may be
improving for the four players who
were not dropped from the team.
"I think they're okay. They have to
be hurting inside because their
friends are not with them," Harrison
said. "They have to be confused. We
lived for quite a while with uncertain-
ty. At least now they know what is go-
ing on.
"You just have to go with what
you've got. You're faced with pro-
blems a lot of times in life — and this
is one of those times."
Harrison said the Aggies, 2-0, have
a good basketball team, as do most of
UNM's opponents for the rest of the
season.
"But I think we can compete with
the four kids we have left and Magee_,
who is a very good basketball player
who just has to learn what he's do-
ing." he said. "We can compete if we
play hard 3"d play with in-
telligence."
Harrison said he will make some
adjustments in New Me'xico's run-
and-gun style, but won't go to-a real
slowdown against the Aggies.
"You have to keep some offensive
pressure on them," he said. "You
can't just walk it up the floor."
Harrison, who has spent eight
years as a college assistant and as
director of player personnel for the
Buffalo Braves of the National
Basketball Association, said he
didn't feel any extra pressure.
"That would be a cop out," he said.
"I was hired to do a job. Nobody told
me these circumstances would come
up but I'm going to continue to do'a
job."
The Lobos take an 0-2 re'cord into
today's game.

The New Mexican Staff
.'If the best offense is a good
defense, as the old adage goes, then
both Espanola Valley and Taos are
theoretically headed for respectable
football seasons. Theoretically is the
k£y word.
' No matter how spectacularly the
defense performs, the offense has to
put some points on the scoreboard.
Aid neither the Sundevils nor the
TJigers showed any signs of offensive
wizardry in their season-opening
games last weekend. Espanola
Valley fell 5-0 to Albuquerue
Academy and Taos was shut out 6-0
Los Lunas.
• "Our whole team knows the offense
is" our weakness," Espanola Valley
coach Tom Lopez said. "Our main
concern is scoring points. We can't
win any games If we don't.
"Our harks were running into the
wrong holes in the Academy game.
They were running into people
instead of running around them.
We've got to improve our running
game if we're gonna have any kind of
success."
Taos coach Steve Trujillo is singing
the same sad song.
"We weren't good on the ground or
in the air against Los Lunas,"
Trujillo said. "We'd get a march
going and then we'd sputter out all of
a sudden. We weren't-consistent at
all. We just want to get the whole
offensive unit on track."
Something has got to give tonight,
when the two teams square off in
Taos at 7:30 p.m. Taos hasn't won
since 1977, but Trujillo is confident
that the Tigers will halt their losing
to generate
skid.
"The way it looks right now, it'll be
a low-scoring game'," Trujillo said.
"Our defense is pretty solid. Based
on what I saw last week, I think we
can hold them down to enough points
that we can beat them. We want to
get on the winning track as soon as
possible."
Espanola Valley would like to do
the same thing. The Sundevils, who
won just two of 10 games last year,
were somewhat demoralized when
they failed to get the winning score
after recovering a bad snap on the
Academy 24-yard line with 34
seconds left in the game. But the
disappointment lasted only briefly.
"We've gotten over it and we've
had some good practices this week,"
Lopez said. "The kids saw the game
films. They know their mistakes and
some
what they have to do this weekend.
There's a lot of enthusiasm — more
than before."

The Hilltoppers' schedule

Eldorado was whipped 20-6 by

Micks test Academy next

By WALTER K.LOPEZ
The New Mexican Staff
After having had a chance to
analyze the game film of St.
Michael's High School's season-
opening loss to Albuquerque St. Pius
last Saturday, Horsemen coach
Richard Alarid admits that there is
plenty of room for improvement on
his squad.
The Micks turned in a sterling
defensive effort, holding St. Pius at
bay for three quarters before a pair
of fourth-period touchdowns lifted
the Sartans to a 13-0 victory at the
Albuquerque Sports Stadium.
But it was a different story on
offense.
St. Mike's and premier running
back Mark Duran, the state's leading
scorer last season, were nearly
shutdown completely by the Sartan
defense. The Micks managed only 95
yard in total offense, 45 of those on
the ground. Duran, who rushed for
more than 1,000 yards last season,
was held to 38 on 18 carries.
"I think it's important that we need
to improve on our offensive line
play," Alarid noted as St. Mike's
prepares for its second contest of the
season against Albuquerque
Academy Saturday. "It's a young,
but good line.
"Our passing attack (3-16-50)
didn't do as well as it could have, but
it's going to get better, and our
defensive pass coverage broke down
(in fourth quarter)."
Alarid credited the St. Pius defense
for halting the usually-explosive
Duran.
"He looked a little sluggish," the
fourth-year mentor related. "There
was a couple of times that all he
needed was one more step to break
open a big play."
The Chargers will be looking to
move their record to 2-0 when the
clubs square off at the Academy field
beginning at 1:30 p.m. L a s t
Saturday, the Chargers blanked
Espanola Valley 5-0.
"Academy is good, but they're not
the same caliber as St. Pius," Alarid
said. "They have some new people
and they run an option. That (option)
hurt us a bit against St. Pius.
"They (Academy) run the pro
offense and if we can stop them from
turning the corner on the pitch we'll
be all right."
The trek to Albuquerque Saturday
will be the Micks' second consecutive
contest on the road. They open at
home Sept. 18 against Los Lunas.
"It'll be the first home game for
Academy and the kids always play
harder in front of the home crowd,"
Alarid said. "I don't think we'll beat
them handily, but I think we'll beat
them."
Alarid does not anticipate any
changes in the Horsemen's starting
lineup. On offense, senior Andy
Ramos will again direct the Micks
from the q u a r t e r b a c k slot.
Completing the backfield are Duran
at t a i l b a c k ; wingback S t e v e
Quintana and fullback Mike Ramos.
Bruce Torres will man the tight
end position while Steve Arias will fill
in at wide receiver. The remainder of
the line incudes center Roy Rotunno;
guards Thomas Rotunno and Pat
Aranda; and tackles Robert Chavez
and Warren Eden.
The defensive line includes Torres
and Kent Hanrahan at the ends;
tackles Eden and Thomas Rotunno;
Mark Rodriguez and Jeff Posa at the
guard; middle linebacker Steve
R o m e r o ; monster back Steve
Pacheco; halfbacks Fabian Montoya
and Brian Smith; and safety Andy
Ramos.

Lobos seek 3 r d win in Lubbock
ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — New
Mexico's Lobos will be in Lubbock,
Texas, Saturday night trying to
accomplish what only two other UNM
teams have ever managed in football
— beat Texas Tech.
The Lobos have taken on the Red
Raiders 24 times in the history of the
grid rivalry between the two schools
that Tech has all but owned in
compiling a gaudy 20-2-2 advantage.
Hopes are running high in the Lobo
camp this year, however. The
Wolfpack has knocked off two
straight opponents, marking the first
time since 1966 UNM has opened the
year with back-to-back victories.
If the Lobos can overcome the
curse of the Techsans and emerge
with a victory Saturday night, they
also will become the first UNM club
since 1962 to win its first three games
of the season.
But Lobo coach Bill Mondt warns
his team is going to have to play
better than it did in either of the first
two contests to beat Tech, which lost
its season-opener to No. 1 ranked
Southern California by a 21-7 count
last week.
And Mondt said his Lobos are going
to have to stop the Raiders' rugged
fullback J a m e s Hadnot if they are
going to stop Tech.
"We can't afford to let him run
loose like he did last year," said
Mondt. "Our linebackers are going to
have to play well."
Hadnot, a converted tight end who
was making his first appearance as a
running back, merely rolled over the
Lobos for a Tech school record 268
yards on 26 carries to to lead Tech to
a 36-23 victory.
UNM quarterback Brad Wright
kept the Wolfpack in the game by

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Brad
Wright admits it will be "nice to go
home." But that's about all the
versatile New Mexico quarterback is
saying about Saturday night's
matchup in Lubbock with Texas
Tech.
Undoubtedly, Wright has some
special feelings about the contest
since he's from nearby Midland,
Texas, and he will have family,
friends and fans from around West
Texas in the stands.
But the 6-foot-2, 202-pound junior
also must be keenly aware that
Tech's Red Raiders will be fired-up
to stop him after he Dicked them
apart with his pinpoint passing a
year ago. And, apparently he doesn't
want to say anything that would give
Tech's coaches more ammunition to
use to pump up their players for him.
"It will be nice to go home," said
Wright this week. "That's my
hometown, almost. It's about 100
miles from Midland.
"But I'd rather not comment on
anything else. I just want to play the
game. I'd kinda like to sit back and
wait until after the game to say
anything," he added.
If Wright has the type of game he
had a year ago, though, he won't
have to say much because his stats
will do the talking for him. Although
New Mexico lost 36-23, Wright was
spectacular as he hit on 28 of 49
passes for a school record 452 yards.
" W r i g h t is a m u c h m o r e
experienced player," said second-
year Texas Tech coach Rex Dockery.
"He scares us to death."
It could have worked out that
Wright would have been playing for
the Red'Raiders Saturday night since
he says Texas Tech "recruited me a
little bit." But he said he decided to
go to New Mexico because that's
where he got the "best offer."

may get to see the same kind of
fireworks the two treated the
partisan New Mexico crowd to last
