TOP DOGS Butler proves top status Butler Bulldogs proved which team is Top Dog in Indianapolis by beat- ing the University of Indianapolis Greyhounds in the traditional game between the rivals. At the same time, the Bulldogs cap- tured the Heartland Collegiate Con- ference championship. Butler accomplished its mission with an 8-1-1 overall and a 4-0-1 con- ference mark. Indianapolis finished the year 6-4, 3-2. The game was a roller coaster of emotion as the teams fought. We talked all week about it, said Coach Bill Lynch. There are emo- tional peaks and valleys. One team will go up, and the other wall go down. B i.9 B 1 ' 1 We played through those sudden changes. Butler was able to survive four blocked kicks and three interceptions to win the game. The offense accumulated 429 total yards, 319 in a wild first half. Steve Roberts rushed for 144 yards and two touchdowns, fie finished the season with 1,490 yards, 333 rushes, 17 touchdowns and 104 total points — all single-season records for But- ler. The defense did a great job, Lynch said. The whole defensive front put pressure on them, and the secondary did a good job. We made them earn everything they got. Kappa Kappa Gammas and Sigma tius raised $3,058 for the Special Olympics. The check was presented at half-time. Despite adversity, the Bulldogs beat the Univer- sity of Indianapolis to win the Top Dog trophy.
