The Plain Dealer from Cleveland, Ohio (2024)

PLAIN DEALER, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 199C- 5-D. COLLEGES HORSE RACING Cooper: Hawkeyes playing for Roses, By BRUCE HOOLEY STAFF WRITER COLUMBUS Ohio State coach John Cooper says he worries more about the motivational reward ahead of Iowa than the motivational revenge in the Hawkeyes' past. Ohio State, 28-0 winners over Iowa last year, plays at Kinnick Stadium on Saturday with the Hawkeyes nearing a Rose Bowl berth. "What happened last year, two. years ago or 10 years ago has noth-: ing to do with this ballgame," said Cooper, whose team matches a 3-1-1 Big Ten record against Iowa's 5-0 mark.

"We're talking about two different teams. chemistry is a little different, momentum, what you're playing for, the stakes. When we played Iowa a year ago, they were out of it. Iowa didn't have anything to play for. really.

Now, they're playing for the Rose The Hawkeyes have a one-game lead in the Big Ten over Illinois and Minnesota, both 4-1. OSU is in fourth place. Iowa's 54-28 victory Saturday at Illinois gave it a head-to-head advantage against the Illini should the two tie for the championship. Minnesota, which plays Michigan and Michigan State the next two weeks, is expected to fade before it closes the season with Iowa. "If they knock us off, for all intents and purposes, they're in the Rose Bowl." Cooper said of Iowa.

which finishes with Purdue and Minnesota. "Then they would only have to win one of their two remaining games. So much is riding on this ballgame, both teams will be sky Cooper has closed OSU's practices for the remainder of the season "to let our team know and our fans know these are big ballgames." After Iowa, OSU plays at Wisconsin and home against Michigan. Cooper said he expects those games to be much more difficult than the routs the past three weeks of Purdue (42-2), Minnesota (52-23) and Northwestern (48-7). "You want your team to be fired up every week, but you can't get a team at that pitch every game," he said.

"The last three games, we've played well. Quite honestly, we should have won, and we did. But we haven't made a real effort to get our team sky-high for any of those last three games." To stop Iowa; Cooper said OSU must repel an attack the Buckeyes featured last year. "The difference in Iowa this year, compared to the Iowa team we year ago, is that this year they are lining up and running the football like we did a year ago," he said. Every time they run the football, they gain 5 yards Alternating tailbacks Nick Bell and Tony Stewart lead the Hawkeyes in rushing.

Bell, a 6-3, 255-pound senior, had 130 yards in the first quarter against Illinois. He finished with 168 yards and has 750 on the season. Stewart had 101 yards against Illinois to increase his season total to 640 and bring him within 200 yards of Iowa's career rushing record. CSU 'disappointed' with tourney pairings By JOE MAXSE STAFF WRITER The Cleveland State basketball brochure says the team's opening game is against Coastal Carolina College. Cleveland lawyer Nicholas M.

DeVito says Princeton University will be the Vikings' first opponent. Result: The Vikings will open against Princeton, and CSU and DeVito are not happy. According to CSU athletic department officials, the Vikings were under the impression that their first game in DeVito's North Coast Tournament at Public Hall on Nov. 24 would be against the Chanticleers of the Big South Conference. Ivy League champion Princeton was expected to meet Wright State University from Dayton in the other first-round other game, with the winners meeting the next night for the championship.

DeVito, who is president of the NCT. said CSU knew all along it would be playing Princeton. "They always were playing Princeton from Day One, said DeVito, who negotiated in the spring with former CSU coach Kevin Mackey. "It's sour grapes. Before everything hit the fan (Mackey's firing after an alcohol and drug scandal), Mackey even wanted to play Princeton." However.

before his firing in July, Mackey contradicted DeVito several times, telling The Plain Dealer that CSU was playing Coastal. David Roth, Mackey's attorney, said Mackey was unavailable for comment yesterday. CSU Athletic Director John Konstantinos, who assumed his post at CSU on July 1, said he was unsuccessful in negotiations with DeVito to have the Vikings open against Coastal. "We did not think we would be playing Princeton," Konstantinos said. "In July, we expressed concern about the pairings, and we made our opinion very clear about how the pairings should go.

"Naturally, we're a little disappointed the way they came out. However, since it is not our tournament, we'll play who we are assigned to play." DeVito said Wright State coach Ralph Underhill, requested his team play Coastal Carolina in its first game and that request' was written into WSU's tournament contract in May. Although he knew the tournament pairings in May, DeVito said he did not officially announce them until Oct. 26 because he felt May "was not the appropriate time." "CSU tried to pull a fast one," DeVito said. "They took it upon themselves to send out a schedule showing they would play Coastal Carolina.

Their literature was wrong, and they knew it was wrong," The Vikings, 15-13 last season under Mackey, will debut under new coach Mike Boyd against Princeton (20-6) on Nov. 24 at 9 p.m. Wright State (21-7) plays Coastal Carolina (23-6) in the 7 p.m. opener. The consolation and championship games are scheduled for 5:30 and 7:30 p.m.

on Nov. 25. Tickets ($25, $20, $15 and $10) are on sale at the Public Hall box office and through Ticketron. SCHOLASTICS Elyria player, coach honored By BOB HILL and won sectional and district tiSTAFF WRITER tles. Elyria was beaten Saturday in the regional semifinals by Celina.

In New Jersey, the casinos will find out if they can accept wagers on races simulcast into their Atlantic City casinos. The racetracks in New Jersey are also on the ballot.

They want Sunday racing and are one of just two racing states (the other being Alabama) where parimutuel wagering on the Sabbath is illegal. In Virginia and Tennessee, on a county-option basis, voters in two counties will decide if they want parimutuel horse racing. Loudon County in Virginia is about 50 miles west of Washington. Trousdale County in Tennessee is about 60 miles northeast of Nashville. There is also a lottery question on the ballot in Nebraska would legalize a statewide video lottery game, similar to the one in operation at Mountaineer Park in West Virginia.

Pictures and memorabilia of standardbred standouts will be showcased on a wall at the track after the charter induction class is announced at a special dinnerdance at Northfield on Dec. 12. In line with the dinnerwhich will become an annual event, the newly-appointed Northfield Wall of Fame Board will name a local horse and owner of the year for the 1990 campaign. "We were fortunate and grateful to get an initial selection committee with appointed representatives from all walks of the local industry," said Racing Director Gregg Keidel, who co-planned concepts of the local 'Wall' for nearly a year with Assistant General Manager Mary Calabrese. "After we get everything off the ground, future selection committees will be elected for terms of different lengths.

Right now, we're encouraging nominations from our horsem*n and fans. "Nomination forms are available at the Northfield switchboard at the main entrance or by writing the track. All nominations will be seriously considered. We want the first class to be the very best." Currently working on assembling the charter class are committeemen Bob Sidley, the Ohio Harness Horsem*n's Association representative: Vito Arsena, owner; Clair Umholtz, trainer: Don McKirgan, driver; Calabrese and Keidel, track management officials, and The Plain Dealer's Paul Baumgartner, media representative.

"We have two ways to go concerning the lighting," said Toledo Presi-, dent Arnold Stansley.

"With the shape and width of our (five-M: eighths-mile) track, we may be able to extend it from three to four (with a hub-less feature) to get further away from the present poles. Our current lights may be acceptable (to the state) this way. If they aren't, we would then need high-tower lighting, which, course, is very expensive."
