Finley felt Erb should have won the title at 118. "He tost to Mark Rodriguez in overtime, then came back and beat the heck out of him for third place He reaiiy opened up after the loss " Finley called the California trip a worthwhile experience "Since we have such a young team, we needed to wrestle a lot in a short period of time We got a lot of good competition on the road trip " Next action for the Ducks is Jan 16 when they will take on Oregon State in Corvallis Interceptions decide playoffs From Associated Prass Reports It wasn't just the passing which played such a pivotal role in the first round of the National Football League playoffs It was the passing to the wrong people To wit: — The Pittsburgh Steelers, leading San Diego 28-17, are trying to move out of their own territory, chew up some time and get another score to put Sunday's game away But on third down at his own 21-yard line.

Ray says of Lynn's first theft — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, leading Dallas 17-16 early in the fourth quarter Sunday, are trying to keep their sputtering offense alive Then third-string rookie safety Monty Hunter picks off a Doug Williams pass and sprints 19 yards for the touchdown that puts the Cow boys in front to stay They win 30-17. "Hunter s interception gave us the breathing room we needed. Dallas Coach Tom Landry says — The Detroit Lions, having blown their first sconng opportunity when Billy Sims fumbles at Washington's 19-yard line, are on the move again, thanks to Eric Hippie's passes to wide receiver Leonard Thompson Then Hippie looks for Sims on a pass route, cornerback Jeris White slips between them, grabs the ball, luggles it for a moment and races 77 yards for the touchdown that starts the Redskins on their way to Saturday's 31-7 romp It was like a mirage. White says You see it. but you don't really believe it." — The St. Louis Cardinals, already trailing 21-3, are trying to get within striking distance of Green Bay. when safety Mark Murphy intercepts a Neil Lomax pass and returns the ball 22 yards to the St Louis 12-yard line.
