Wrestlers nail down fifth-ranked Cal Poly
Jeff Stuebing of Oregon
defeated Cal Poly-San Luis
Obispo’s Dale Ambler in what
Oregon wrestling coach Ron
Finley called "the big match of
the night” as the seventh
ranked Ducks nipped the fifth
ranked Mustangs, 20-18.
Stuebing beat Ambler, 12-11,
in the 167-pound match. The
Oregon wrestler was behind
11-10 with precious little time
left in the match, but managed a
two-point nearfall with no time
remaining to pull out the win.
Knox selected
coach of year
BUFFALO, N Y. (AP) - For
turning the also-ran Buffalo Bills
into a National Football League
division champion, Chuck Knox
has been named Associated
Press coach of the year for the
second time in eight years.
He edged Leeman Bennett of
the Atlanta Falcons by one vote
in balloting announced
Tuesday.
"I think it’s a compliment to
our players and to my assistant
coaches and reflects on the
Buffalo Bills,” Knox said of the
honor.
The Bills feel the same way
about their coach.
Free safety Bill Simpson, who
came out of retirement to play
for Buffalo this season, said
Knox was the only head coach
who could have talked him into
returning.
“We owe it all to him," said
linebacker Shane Nelson, one
of 15 veterans left from the team
Knox took over in January 1978.
“He came in and showed us
how to win.”
Knox received 27Vi of 84
votes cast by a nationwide panel
of sports writers and broadcas
ters — three from each NFL city.
Bennett, one of his closest
friends, was second with 26’/2
and Sam Rutigliano of the
Cleveland Browns was third
with 18. The only other coach to
receive more than three votes
was Oakland's Tom Flores, with
four.
Buffalo s 11-5 squad which
won this season's American
Football Conference East title
barely resembles the team Knox
inherited, a 5-23 team in the two
preceding seasons.
Buffalo was 5-11 in Knox' first
year and 7-9 last season before
winning its first playoff berth
since 1974 and first division title
since 1966 in the old American
Football League. However, Buf
falo was eliminated from the
playoffs in the first round Satur
day, losing 20-14 to the San
Diego Chargers.
“Getting that far and then lo
sing was a disappointment,"
Knox acknowledged.
Knox also was AP coach of
the year in 1973, when he
turned the 6-7-1 Los Angeles
Rams into a 12-2 National Foot
ball Conference West cham
pion. It was the first of five
Straight division titles for the
Rams, who were 54-15-1 under
Knox from 1973 through 1977.

"That match really saved us
from losing,” said Oregon
coach Ron Finley. “We felt that
if we could win two of the first
four matches tonight, we could
have a good shot at the win. We
got an addition when (Cliff)
Porter, our 134 pounder, won
his match.”
Despite Stuebing’s heroics,
the meet still hinged on the out
come of the heavyweight match.
The Ducks' Dan Cook took on
Cal Poly’s Curt Wiedenhoefer,
in what turned out to be the
meet’s lone default of the even
ing.
Cook trailed 7-4 with just 1:34
remaining in the match, but a
two-point nearfall by Cook
proved fatal for Weiderhoefer as
he dislocated his shoulder. The
team doctor could not repair the
shoulder in the alloted two min
utes and Weiderhoefer was
forced to default, giving Oregon
its tenth straight win of the sea
son.
“This was definitely out and
out the closest match of the
season," Finley said. "I was
really pleased with our perfor
mance. It was just a super per
formance.
“A win like this really helps us
a lot. We feel that the meet is
never over until the final match.
