To kill a Redbird ,he Salukis continued their domi- nation over the Illinois State Red- birds, who have not won a foot- ball game in McAndrew Stadium since 1972. Southern Illinois played a near- perfect game against the 3-0-1 Redbirds on Parents' Day in Carbondale. For coach Ray Dorr, it was his first Missouri Valley Conference win in eight tries and it evened his team's record at 3-3 on the year. Southern controlled the clock through- out the game. Although the Salukis committed numerous turnovers in prior games, they didn't turn the ball over the entire game. Byron Mitchell first put the Salukis on the scoreboard in the opening quarter with a 66-yard touchdown run through the Redbird secondary. Mitchell, a soph- omore tailback who is quickly becoming one of SIU's all-time great running backs finished the game with 109 yards on 120 If 'Mr . g carries. 12 Features Southern's next score came on a 41- yard scoring connection from quarter- back Kevin Brown to james The Flame Stevenson. Stevenson displayed how he earned his nickname as he burned the Illinois State defense for a long touch- down run. The game looked like it would end with SIU winning 14-0, but Saluki tailback Mel Kirksy changed that. Kirksy carried the pigskin for a 27-yard touchdown jaunt in the closing seconds of the game and Ron Miller added his third extra point of the day to give Southern the 21-0 victory. fAboveI Saluki running back Bryon Mitchell salutes his teammates with the We're Number 1 sign while the Dawgs racked up 21 points to defeat the ISU Redbirds. Qleftj The Saluki squad became very familiar with the endzone while they dominated the Illinois State Redbirds, 21-0.
