'Tough' Iowa Next Agase's Movie Fare No Better Alex Agase was watching a movie the other night, and this one wasn't going to get any Academy Awards from him. "I wish just once I could look at a film and say, 'These guys are going to be patsies,' " he sighed. "But there's no such thing. "This Iowa is tough, believe me. They come after you. I don't know how they keep losing games. "Their quarterback, Ed Podolak, is a good kid. He runs awfully well, and throws well, too. He does a lot of good things. And they have a good running attack. Tony Williams is a real good back, and so is Silas McKinnie. "It's an aggressive football team. The defense is aggressive. It's fast and quick and all over the field, and they have a good pass defense." The Loss String Is Long All of which was a pretty glowing description of a team which has lost 15 consecutive Big Ten football games and has lost four straight contests this year after whipping Arizona in its opener. The latest loss was 17-0 at Minnesota last week, a score which would have been much closer except that a Gopher tackle intercepted a blocked Iowa touchdown pass and rambled 95 yards for a fourth-quarter score. Iowa's problem in the game, Agase explained, was simple. "They moved the ball, but not long enough." The key to stopping the Hawkeyes, who host Northwestern at their Homecoming celebration in Iowa City Saturday, is stopping Podolak, the 6-1, 180-pound sophomore who has outlasted junior Chuck Roland in a fight for the quarterback job and who is gaining maturity and skills with every game. More Wounded And the fact that new coach Ray Nagel is laboring under a shortage of talented manpower at Iowa evokes little sympathy from Agase. The Wildcat boss has faced the same sort of problem all year because of injuries, and the flood of wounded hobbling to the sidelines continued unabated during last week's 3-3 tie at Wisconsin. Injured in that one were defensive tackle ace Ken Ramsey, offensive tackle Joe Ramsdell, and fullback Bob McKelvey. All damaged knees. Ramsey and Ramsdell definitely will miss the Iowa contest, and McKelvey is a doubtful starter. Back off the injured list will be center John Eggemeyer, who sprained an ankle in practice last week and missed the battle with the Badgers. Safety Tom Garretson, who has been sidelined with a pinched neck nerve, also has a chance to get back in action. Gunstra to Go Two Ways Bruce Gunstra, starting right guard on offense, likely will go two ways to fill in for Ramsey, and Tom Ziolkowski will move in for Ramsdell. Bill Melzer, who yielded to Denny Boothe late in the first quarter against Wisconsin, likely will be back at the helm for the Hawkeyes.

Another Stydahar Aims For Football Greatness By LARRY DENNIS Sports Editor It figures that Dave Stydahar is a football player. It also figures that he's a good one. Stydahar, a prep ail-American at Loyola Academy, is a 6-2, 223-pounder from Glencoe. Currently he is the No. 2 center on Purdue's powerhouse, and listen to Boilermaker line coach Ernie Zwahlen talk about him: "He has the potential to be an outstanding college football player. He has the size and the aggressiveness. The only thing he needs right now is experience and confidence. "As a center prospect, he should be better than Ed Flanagan, who started for the Detroit Lions as a rookie, and Larry Kaminski, who was all-Big Ten and a starter for the Denver Broncos. "By the time Dave graduates he should be a top pro prospect. He can play any position in the offensive or defensive line, except possibly end. "What I like about him is that he's enthusiastic. He has emotion, and this is the type of ballplayer 1 want to coach." It's Hereditary Despite Zwahlen's ardor, Stydahar does not walk on water. He is simply a personable young man who is built like a granite block and has football on the brain. This is not surprising. Papa Stydahar is named Joe, and he is one of football's greats. After a long playing career with West Virginia and the Chicago Bears, Joe Stydahar served as coach of the Rams, the Cardinals, and, most recently, as an assistant with the Bears. Although he never saw his father play, Dave has been inspired by his career. But dad has never pushed him. "My father always felt it was best to try to do things on my own," says Dave. "He tries to get me to diagnose what I'm doing, and he stays on me to keep in shape the latter part of the summer. But as far as actually showing me how to do things, he feels it's better that my coaches do it." There are two smaller Stydahar brothers, 10-year28 old George and Joe, who is a freshmen halfback at Loyola. There also is Stephanie, who is 11 and a football fan like the rest. "Football is a definite household fixture," says Dave with a grin. "During the fall, it's a total football family." Mom Chooses Loyola Does this also include Yolanda, the mother of the brood? "Let's put it this way," Dave smiles. "She has no choice." Mrs. Stydahar always has had a choice between the Bears and Loyola, however, and there never was any doubt which it was to be. The sons win in a walk. Joe, on the other hand, rarely saw Dave play in high school, because his Sunday afternoon coaching duties with the Bears conflicted with Rambler games. There should be plenty of chances to watch in the future, though. Dave is an industrial management major with minors in computer science and advertising who wants eventually to become either an ad executive or a Certified Public Accountant. But first he would like nothing better than to follow his dad into the pro ranks. Size would appear to be no problem. Stydahar is still growing and expects to reach 6-3 and 235 or 240 by the time he is a senior. He feels this is big enough. Speed and Fundamentals "If I'd get any bigger, I'd lose speed," he says, "and at center, speed is essential." Right now there is much learning to be done. "The toughest thing is getting the very, very basic fundamentals down and getting them down perfectly," Dave says. "My coaches tell me that if you know and can execute the basic fundamentals perfectly, you can be an all-American football player in your junior and senior year." And would Stydahar like to be an all-American? "I sure would love to," he declares. Don't bet against it. team which probably is better than most people think, neither Melzer nor Boothe got a chance to do much throwing to the likes of Roger Murphy and Cas Banaszek. "We were never in position to open up," Agase explained. He is hoping the throttle can be moved forward a little Saturday.--Larry Dennis COMING UP FOOTBALL Friday Glenbrook N. at Glenbrook S.
