Cards swamp Wheeler 52-14
The lone Cardinals got off to
a flying start in Big Sky
Conference play, posting a
52-14 victory over Wheeler
Friday in Fossil.
The Cards scored in every
quarter, including a 22-point
burst in the second period, as
r they upped their season re
cord to 4-1. With 371 total
yards 220 rushing and 151
; passing lone overcame an
outstanding performance by
Falcon running back Rick
O'Neal who picked up 235
yards on 36 carries. Relying
almost entirely on O'Neal, the
rest of the Wheeler runners
were limited to 27 yards while
the Falcon passing attack
connected on only 2 of 10
attempts for 11 yards.
For the Cards, Kevin Mc
Cabe gained 98 yards on nine
carries and completed two of
five passes for 15 yards.
Regular quarterback Dennis
Stefani added seven comple
tions in 10 attempts for 136
yards and three touchdowns.
Standouts for the lone
defense included Terry Starr
who was credited with 12
assists and five solo stops,
John Lindstrom with nine
assists and five tackles, Mc
Cabe with 11 assists and three
tackles and Gari Gaustad with
10 assists and six tackles.
The Cards first score came
on a 10-yard Stefani to Danny
McElligott touchdown pass
with Stefani carrying the ball
for the two-point conversion,
lone increased its lead to 16-0
in the second quarter as Robin
La Rue hauled in a 42-yard
scoring pass from Stefani and
the same combination provi
ded the conversion points.
A fumble recovery by La
Rue and a 23-yard Stefani to
McElligott pass play set up
the Cards third score a
six-yard run by Gaustad.
McElligott handled Stefani's
pass for the conversion and a
24-0 lead.
After Wheeler got on the
board with a 65-yard run by
O'Neal, lone came back to
score on a 52-yard pass from
Stefani to Gaustad near the
end of the half.
Terry Starr opened the
second half scoring with a
2-yard TD plunge with Stefani
carrying for the conversion.
Following another O'Neal
touchdown, lone mounted a
drive which ended with Stefa
ni carrying for the score from

gott in the end zone for the

Meyers, "No repeat.
By Monday the three digit
reminders were taped all over
the lone Cardinals locker
room hardly giving the play
ers a chance to savor Friday's
52-14 Big Sky opening win over
Wheeler. The signs read 69-6
and the message was clear
lone has no intention of
experiencing a defeat like the
one administered last year by
Culver, Ione's opponent today.
This will be the Cards last
shot at Culver before the team
moves up to 11-man football
and the Wheeler win put lone
in high gear. The team
demonstrated a scoring bar
rage against the Falcons and
managed to keep rampaging
fullback Rick O'Neal out of the
end zone for most of the
afternoon.
"O'Neal ran for a lot of
yards between the 2Q's,"
Coach Gordon Meyers said.
"But when he got down near
the goal line we got kind of
sticky."
Meyers said he does not
partici'larly like winning by
such ,i wide margin but he
explained that as long as
O'Neal was in the game he had
to leave his first line players in
the game for safety reasons.
Freshman Duane Fetsch suf
fered a separated shoulder in
the game and will be out the
rest of the season. Glen Krebs
will be out at least a week with
a cracked rib.
lone played what amounted
to a seven man line with four
down linemen and three tight
linebackers to force Wheeler
to pass the ball instead of
going to O'Neal on three out of
four plays. But the Falcons
went to the air only 10 times,
comleting two for 11 yards.
Meyers said he was general
ly pleased with his team's
defensive play citing the work
of Robin LaRue who blocked
two punts and Terry Starr who
was in on a game-high 17
tackles.
With the Wheeler win behind
them, the Cards have concen
trated all efforts this week
towards wiping out that three
digit reminder and giving
Culver a proper going away
present.
