........... .., ......... Howard Stevens, the biaesf "little man" in footWI history, ca.- a reconl • tterma clay with his third touchdown.
No. 1 steps into the record books
by RICK CUSHING
After it was all over coach Ray
Callahan of Cincinnati said 1, ult. was that.
No. 1 and No.9. They did u:s in."
No. 9, John . Madeya turned in a
brilliant performance to be sure,
completing 19 of 35 passes for 183 yards.
But the real story of the drama played
out in rustic Nippert Stadium last
Saturday was that No. 1, Howard
Stevens. He was t.he star.
My roommate tells me you could have
an Ali ... Frazier fight withou1t Joe Frazier
but not without Ali. It jus1· wouldn't be
the same.
Similarly, without Howard Stevens the
game last Saturday just wouldn•t have
been the same.
Midway through the first half a
Cincinnati fan was heard to exclaim,
"This is ridiculous. Louisville's a one man
team and this is a one man game.··
Now Louisville is far from being a one
man team, of course. The center spotlight
belonged to Howard last Saturday, but
there have been other heroes on other
days. Even Saturday, the spotlight has to
include the offensive line. Without a hole
Howard would have no plaiCe to skitter.
''Trick or TJreat''
by IRENE SPRADILING
A R A-Slater has be,en officially
boycotted. The two-d~y "Trick or Treat
the SUB .. scheme started last Tuesday,
when the Stud~~nt Senate s.et up a food
station outside the Dean of Students
Office in the Student Union Building,
The "mini-cafeteria," open from 11
a.m. to I p.m. on both Tuesday and
Wednesday, sold beef stew at 20 cents a
serving, bologna and cheese or tuna
sandwiches at 20 cents a piece, and soft
drinks at 10 cents a 12-ounce can as an
alternative for students, faculty, and staff
who usually eat lunch in the SUB or
cafeteria.
During the boycott, p•eople in and
around the SUB were ask:ed to sign a
petition demanding from ARA-Slater,
"better food, better service, and lower
prices."
As of p.m. Tuesday, boycott
instigaters had collected 3·44 signatures.
By this time, about 200 sandwiches, 9
gallons of beef stew and four cases of soft
drinks had found therr way to the
stomach of a countless mulltitudc.
The multitud • was happy : for they
had pent considerably less than usual on
their noon day meal. ·
"10 cents for a bowl of hot beef stew,"
remarked one student, .. that's better
than the SUB any day.
And in the press box Saturday they were
drooling over the holes opened by
Brundula, Nickerson, Gitschier, Reese,
and Simpson.
But the real story was Howard
Stevens, No. 1 on his jersey and No. 1 in
the hearts of the fans.
He was given about five standing
ovations Saturday afternoon, one for
each of the three touchdowns he scored
and one for each of the two NCAA
records he broke. As he trotted off the
field he was engulfed by about 300
Louisville fans. They were there to slap
him on the back, pat his head, touch him,
and thank him. One man asked Howard
to shake the hand of his three year old
son.
And then there were the kids. Seven
year-olds, ren-year-olds, thirteen-year
olds, forty or fifty of 'em. They are
Howard's true fans. They love him.
They followed him all the way to the
dressing room, laughing and wide-eyed all
the way. When he'd stop, they'd gather
around to touch and stare. It was a first
name relationship. It was, '"Way to go,
Howard. You showed 'em, Howard.'' It
was love.
They circled around as Howard kisS(jt ·
his pretty wife and told her. "We did '
we did it."
It made one little girl sad, that. khif
She sighed and wistfully said, "Darn, ht
already married.''
