. MIAMI (UPII-The guy who
saw it "live" is always scorn
ful. Tell him you watched it on
television and it's two to one,
if he was there in the flesh,
he'll condescend to straighten
you out. Your angle was wrong,
the referee had to bo in your
way, you couldn't tell how hard
the punches were and what do
you know, anyhow.
But I'd like to straighten out
the guys who were in Yankee
Stadium Sunday and in person
saw the New York Giants whip
the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Rebuilding Job Begun
For Luckless SF 49ers
SAN FRANCISCO (UPP-The
rebuilding job on the San Fran
cisco Forty Nincrs starts to
day. The Forty Niners, who lost
(heir final ball game on Satur
day to the Green Bay Packers
but won a lot of friends doing
K, will be loaded with new
faces when llio 1984 roll call is
sounded.
Quarterback Lamar Mcllan,
tackle Leo Komellini and back
Joe Perry have announced tlvey
are retiring. Tackle Bob St.
Clair, who won the Len Esh
mont $1,000 wrist watch award,
is considering q u i 1 1 i n g the
game.
Several others w!k have had
roii,'h going this season while
the Forty Niners were stum
bling through a 2-12 campaign,
probably will be cut adrift so
that the new draft choices will
have a chance to make ood.
But no matter what happens,
the players today were unani
mous in their hope that coach
Jack Christiansen would be
back at tlie holm.
After San Francisco lost a
toughie to Green Bay by a 17-21
score Saturday, tlie griddi-rs
wont all out for the coach.
"I hope tlie whole coaching
' staff returns," said guard
Bruce JSosley.
"This Is a yuiuig learn and
will develop." said Nomellini.

They couldn't have seen what
I saw on Hie video tube. They
had to be blowing on numb fin
gers, imbibing coffee or other
warming liquids or watching
the clock like the TV announc
ers were doing through the last
three minutes.
So, to set them straight. I'd
like them to know that they
saw the best pitcher this side of
Sandy Koufax. And maybe the
otiier side Uio.

"These coaches slvould get a
chance to continue wibh the
boys."
"I sure hope Christiansen is
retained as coach," said quar
terback John Urodie, who was
out most of the season w ith an
arm injury.
The Forty Niners put on one
of their finest exhibitions of the
season in the loss to Green
Bay. The vaunted Packer
ground game, featuring fullback
Jim Taylor and halfback Tom
Moore, was fought to a stand
still. It gained only 105 yards
all day.

I can't take all the credit.
Some must go to the camera
men, who did a great job.
But in case anybody up there
missed it, the Bald Eagle of the
Bronx was somewhat more than
sensational.
He flip)cd two in the first
quarter, one for 32 yards and
another for 41 yards and tlie
Giants had gone 68 yards for
their first touchdown.
Threw 44-Yard Strike
III the second quarter he
whipped a 44-yard strike and
then lofted a three-yard touch
down pass.
Then, in the third quarter, he
covered 76 yards with three
pitches. It was 29 yards, 25
yards and 22 yards and another
fat six points.
To cap it off, old Y.A. tlien
whipped a 31-yard strike which
was compounded by a 15-yard
penalty good for a total of 46
yards. Next he pitched one to
the one-yard stripe and Joe
Morrison did a swan dive over
the middle for the big six.
All this man Tittle did was
pitch three touchdown passes,
running his season's total to a
record :). and set up the clinch
er in a 33-17 rout.

Although the Bears should be

This will be tlie sixth playoff

The American Football

One playoff already is guar

two.
Tlie Boston Patriots and Buf

meet in a playoff for the title
at illuffalo on Dec. 28.
The San Diego Chargers
clinched at least a tie for the
Western Division championship
by knocking over (lie Houston
Oilers, 2M4, Sunday in a game
loaded down with "firsts."
It was the first time the Oil
ers failed to win (he Western
Division title since the league
was formed in I960; it was the
first time the Chargers ever
beat the Oilers in Houston, and
it also was the first time the
young AFL ever lias been faced
with the possibility of two play
offs. That prosect came about
when Tom Flores passed for
five touchdowns Sunday to keep

Giants Win
The Bears clinched their 10th
Western crown Sunday when
Billy Wade took some pressure
off the overworked defense by
throwing a pair of third-period
touchdown strikes that produced
a 24-14 victory over the Detroit
Lions.
And tlie Giants extended their
record total of Eastern Division
championships to 14 with a 33-17
victory over the Pittsburgh
Steelers in their winner-take-all
game in New York.
Both conference races thus
were decided on the final Sun
day of the season. Chicago fin
ished with a record of 11 wins,
one defeat and two ties; the Gi
ants have an 11-3 record.
The Packers and Cleveland
Browns wound up in second
place to qualify for the Playoff
irunnerupi Bowl game at Mi
tle hopes alive with a 35-31 vic
tory ever Denver.
San Diego's record now is 10-3
and Oakland's is 9-4. That
means there could be a playoff
between them if Denver defeats
San Diego next Sunday and
Oakland beats Houston.
On Saturday Buffalo beat the
New York Jets, 19-10 and Bos
ton got kicked around 35-3 by
Kansas City.
' The Oilers managed to keep
the outcome of Sunday's game
with the Chargers in doubt un
til the last play. Houston was
driving on San Diego's 35 at the
final gun after scoring earlier
in the period on Bo Dickinson's
one-yard plunge.
The Chargers scored all but
three of their 20 .points in the
second quarter after intercept
ing three passes thrown by
Houston quarterbacks Jacky Lee
and George Blanda. San Diego
quarterback Tobin Rote went
over from the one following a
59-yard run by teammate Paul
Lowe and Charger fullback Bob
Jackson also scored from the
one-yard line after linebacker
EmilKaras picked off a Blanda
pass.
George Blair's 22-yard field
goal, his first of two during the
game, proved the decisive
points.
Flores tossed two touchdowns
apiece to Art iPowell and Clem
Daniels in Oakland's victory
over Denver after opening the
game with -a 32-yard scoring
pass to Bo Rcberson.
Although (he underdog Bron
cos pulled to within four (joints

touchdown midway in the final
quarter when he made a tum

Jolly Roger Picked
As Player Of Season
NEW YORK (UPD-Midship-man
Roger Staubach, the most
celebrated sailor since John
Paul Jones, has been named
the college football player of
the year by the United Press
International.
It was another in a long line
of steady laurels for the per
sonable 21-year-old Navy quar
terback, who also accumulated
such other awards as the Heis
man Trophy and Eastern Col
legiate Athletic Confcdence Tro
phy among many others.
Staubach's designation as
player of the year came by
landslide proportions as he
polled 210 votes out of a possi
ble 291 among tlie nation's
sportswriters and sportscasters
who took part in the balloting.
There was no one even re
motely close to six-foot-two,
190-pound Jolly Roger, of whom
his coach, Wayne Hardin says,
"he's the greatest football play
er I've ever seen."
Previously chosen college
football's back of tlie year by
the UPI, Staubach piled up a
199-vole margin over his near
est competitor, Baylor quarter
back Don Trull, in the voting
for the player of the year.
Trull received 11 votes while
Texas tackle Scott Appleton,
UPI lineman of the year, and

Sunday's 24-14 score does not
adequately tell the role the
Bears' defense played in the
victory. Tlie defenders held the
Liuns within range while the
Bears' popgun offense could
produce only a field goal in the
first half.
Wade helped overcome the 7-3
halftime deficit by completing a
pair of touchdown passes within
three minutes and 21 seconds of
the third period. He threw 51
yards to Johnny Morris and 22
yards to Mike Ditka fur a 17-7
lead.
The Lions, still full of fight,
battled back to score on a four
yard run by Terry Barr and
then the Bears' defense was
called on for its finest efforts
to keep Detroit from going
ahead. First, the Bears stopped
Georgia Tech quarterback Billy
Lothridgc, each collected 10
votes.
Halfback Sherm Lewis ot
Michigan Stale drew eight
votes, Auburn quarterback Jim
my Sidle six and Illinois center
Dick Butkus 5.
Staubach, a junior from Cin
cinnati who also plays baseball
and basketball at the Naval
Academy, was the second Navy
man to gain tlie player of the
year award since it was inau
gurated 14 years ago. Joe Bel
lino was tlie first Middie to be
named in 1960.
Possibly the most exciting
player in the East this season,
Staubach, who next sees action
against top-ranked Texas in the
Cotton Bowl on New Year's
Day, already has set an all
time Navy record for pass
completions and total yardage
for a single season.
Staubach led the nation's
quarterbacks in pass comple
tions with a n e a r incredible
66.7 percentage, that figure tak
ing in 108 completions along
with seven touchdown passes.
