sports Raiders snatch second Super Bowl victory NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Oak land's well-advertised game plan to go for the big play trans ferred from the offense to the defense Sunday as the Raiders claimed their second Super Bowl championship "I told Rod Martin that if he caught more passes than me, I'd be mad, and he almost did it,” said wide receiver Bob Chandler, who caught four passes, after Oakland's 27-10 triumph over the Philadelphia Eagles Martin, an outside linebacker who plays opposite much better known teammate Ted Hen dricks, set a Super Bowl record with three interceptions and called it "the greatest day of my career.” The Raiders, slight underdogs going into the game, seemed to take control the moment Martin stepped in front of tight end John Spagnola and intercepted a Ron Jaworski pass at the Oakland 47-yard line in the second minute of play "It might have looked easy, but believe me, it wasn’t easy," ON BIG PRINT REDUCTIONS!

He gave us leadership, just like the kind Kenny Stabler used to give us,” said wide receiver Cliff Branch, who caught two of Plunkett’s touchdown passes. Philadelphia coach Dick Ver meil, who has rebuilt the Eagles in five years from a league doormat, made no excuses for his NFC champions. ‘Td say the Oakland Raiders were a better football team today,” Vermeil said "They de serve to be world champions.” Eagles star running back Wil bert Montgomery sat placidly in front of his locker, attempting to explain the Philadelphia disas ter. "All year we were a second half ballclub. Today, it was like we gave up. It was a terrible feeling,” Montgomery said. The Raiders' second Super Bowl title came in their first season without Stabler. The vet eran quarterback was traded to the Houston Oilers last year for Dan Pastorini, who broke his leg in October. The American Con ference champions also were handicapped by wild-card sta tus, which meant they had to win three postseason games before reaching the Super Bowl. “But I knew when we made the playoffs we were as good as any of the teams and had a chance to go all the way,” said Oakland coach Tom Flores. The Raiders’ biggest play of the game also was the longest in Super Bowl history, an 80-yard pass play from Plunkett to run ning back Kenny King that gave Oakland a 14-0 lead. “The play wasn't designed for me to go deep. I'm supposed to go about six yards upfield and cut for the sidelines," said King “But when I saw Jim looking upfield, I broke up the sideline. I thought (Eagles cornerback) Herman Edwards might get a hand on it, but I think he was off balance, and he couldn't.” Flores said he stressed in his pre-game talk with Plunkett, “We re not going to be conser vative at all. We’re going to keep going for the big plays, like we have been.” He added, "It was one of Jim's best games. I don’t know about his statistics, but he came up with the right play at the right time." Oregon gymnasts blitz fourth-ranked Canadians Oregon gymnastics fans dis covered the quality difference between America and Canada as the third-ranked Ducks thrashed the University of Brit ish Columbia 266.90 to 186 40 in a men's meet in McArthur Court Friday. British Columbia is ranked fourth in Canada. Kelly Crumley paced Oregon by taking the all-around com petition with a 55.10 score. Crumley won the floor exercise (9.35), vault (9.55), high bar (9 35) and tied for first on the parallel bar (8.85). Alex Schwarz added a 9.30 first on the rings, and Johny Moyal took the pommel horse with a 9.20 mark as the Ducks easily outdistanced the out manned Canadians. “Obviously, British Columbia is not at our level of gymnas tics,” said Oregon coach Bill Ballester. The men were back in action Saturday, combining with the women's team and the National Academy of Artistic Gymnastics to entertain 3,000 fans in the “Night of Stars.” “The intention was to display gymnastics in Oregon, and I think we accomplished what we wanted to do,” commented Ballester Oregon will be idle until Feb 6, when they begin conference action against Stanford at McArthur Court. “LIBERAL ARTS = MAJORS!
