down for the Green came

edge as Mike Leidecker

and company worked for the
Knights. The second half saw

Savage quarterback Steve
Wlodarcryk lived up to his
billing as a "very good quar-
terback" as he passed and
ran for 162 yards in the first
half. That display included
two touchdown passes and a
pass for two points after the
second TD pass. Wlodarcr.yk
was knocked out of the game

the Savages led 7-0. Then
with 1:24 left on the first
quarter clock Mike Polk ran
in from the 2-vard line to up
SSU's lead to 13-0.
SSU got on the scoreboard

half when Wlodarczyk hit
tight end Mike Burris with a
38-yard pass and run and
then Wlodarczyk passed to
Craig Carter for the two-
point conversion and SSU let!

score their fourth touchdown
of the game with 10:06 left in
the thin! quarter. Halfback

ages final score of the day
came in the fourth quarter
when fullback Jesse Morris
bulled over from the two and
this time Mark Wills came
on to hit tho point-aflor.
The Indian offense did
move the ball a little better
in the second half as they
picked up 83 yards total of-
fense to finish the game with
143 yards. Kevin Abel who
started at quarterback came
in in the fourth quarter and
directed the Indians on a
drive which got down to the
Savage 16-yard line where
Abel suffered his first of two
interceptions to Fred Mosley.
The Savages couldn't move
the ball so McMurry took
over once again and once
again Mosley grabbed one of
Abel's passes for the inter-
ception. Fullback Harvey Oaxaca
who had only 10 yards rush-
ing in the first half picket! up
43 yards in the second half to
finish the game with 53

Indians leading rusher for
the game. Steve Mays ran
two reverses from his wide
receiver position and picket!
