HONOLULU — Washing
ton's Joe Theismann passed for a
record three touchdowns Sun
day to lead the NFC to a lopsided
45-3 victory over the AFC in the
ro Bowl.
Theismann atoned for a less-
7 ; than-spectacular performance a
week ago in the Super Bowl with
scoring passes of 16 yards to Wil
liam Andrews of Atlanta, 8 to
Green Bay’s James Lofton, and 6
yards to another Packer, Paul
Coffman.
The NFC, in rolling up a re
cord number of points and the
largest margin of victory, got its
ther points on a 5-yara pass
rom Joe Montana of San Fran-
isco to Andrews, a 44-yard pass
interception return by Nolan
Cromwell of the Los Angeles
Rams, a 14-yard run by Eric
Dickerson of the Rams and a 23-
yard field goal by Ali Haji-Sheikh
of the New York Giants,
f; The AFC averted a shutout
when Pittsburgh’s Gary Ander-
Id
son kicked a 44-yard field goal on
the final play of the first Half. It
came after Chip Banks of Cleve
land deflected and intercepted a
Montana pass with only seven
seconds left.
Theismann completed 2I-of-
27 passes for 242 yards, a game
record.
The NFC took a 17-3 lead at
the half and turned the game
into a rout over the final two
periods by putting 14 points on
the board in the third and fourth
quarters.
The NFC took advantage of a
poor punt and a bobble by New
England’s Rich Camarillo to
score its first two touchdowns.
After Theismann guided the
NFC to Haji-Sheikh’s field goal,
Camarillo got off a 23-yard punt
that put the ball on the NFC 44. A
16-yard pass to Redskin team
mate Charlie Brown preceded
the 16-yard pass to Andrews.
Later in the second quarter,
Camarillo failed to handle a snap
from center and was dropped by
Tampa Bay’s Hugh Green at the
AFC 25. Five plays later, Monta
na hooked up with Andrews for
the score.
Three plays after the second
half kickoff, Cromwell pid off an
errant pass by San Diego’s Dan
Fouts and raced 44 yards down
the sideline to begin the blitz. On
the next series, the NFC drove 65
yards with Theismann capping
the march with an 8-yard pass to
Lofton.
Early in the fourth quarter,
Theismann again moved the
NFC 65 yards with the score com-
ing on a 6-yard pass from
Coffman.
The NFC got the ball back on
the ensuing kickoff when Greg
Pruitt of Oakland fumbled at the
NFC 39 after a spectacular 65-
yard return. Dickerson finished
the scoring 10 plays later when
he reversed his field and raced in
from 14 yards.
The 45 points scored by the
NFC was the most by a team in
the history of the game.

BALTIMORE — Only when
top NFL officials understand
the pressures on the modern
athlete — and develop prog
ams to help players cope — will
:ocaine and alcohol abuse sub-
tide, former all-pro Delvin Wil
liams said.
But for now, Williams said,
the NFL’s programs are ineffec
tive because they treat the symp
toms of substance abuse, but not
the cause.
Williams, executive director
of a firm working with the Un
ited States Football League to
provide drug counseling, said
treating players at rehabilitation
centers is not working.
“Many of these players are
from the streets, from the ghet
tos. They’re survivers,” he said.
You put them in a hospital and
they say, ‘That’s not me. You’re
the one who’s crazy.’”
Williams said high schools
and colleges must be account
able for an athlete’s career plan
ning, so that “one-dimensional”
players are not cast off into soci
ety when their playing careers
are over.
“They’ve become highly
trained specialists with no place
to transfer their skills,” Williams
said, who said he used cocaine
while an all-pro running back
with the San Francisco 49ers and
Miami Dolphins from 1976-80.
He said the pressures of
being a role model and hero can
easily overwhelm an athlete,
especially one from the ghetto.
“Everybody wants to talk to
you, know you, drink with you,”
he said. “They are very vulner
able to abusive behavior pat
terns.”
The skyrocketing salary
structure in professional sports
— and the naivete of many
young stars about taxes, and in
sincere agents — compounds
the pressures on players, he
said.
“A lot of the athletes playing
professional football are just
kids,” he said .

Gretzky’s
streak stops
United Press International
EDMONTON — Though the
Los Angeles Kings have proven
adept at little else for the past two
seasons, they seem to have mas
tered one art — stopping Wayne
Gretzky’s record-breaking,
point-scoring streaks.
The Kings, paced by the two-
goal performance of Bernie
Nicholls, posted a 4-2 victory
over the Edmonton Oilers Satur
day night while halting Gretzky’s
point-scoring streak at 51 games.
The 23-year-old superstar
center, who had his previous re
cord of 30 games with at least one
point snapped by L.A. last year,
has been plagued by a shoulder
problem recently but offered no
alibis.
“I pondered the last couple of
nights about not playing,” said
Gretzky, who compiled 61 goals
and 92 assists during the streak.
“But if I was going to be stopped,
I wanted to be stopped playing,
not sitting in the stands.
“But the shoulder’s no excuse.
They did a great job, they de
served to win the hockey game
and deserved to stop the streak.”
Gretzky’s finest opportunity to
extend the streak came in the
first period. He set up defense-
man Charlie Huddy, who missed
the wide-open net on a two-on-
one break. Gretzky also had two
clear shots on net in the first
period, but was foiled by goalten-
der Markus Mattsson, who
turned back 27 Oiler shots.
“He never really had good
chances,” said Mattsson. “He had
his best chance in the first period
when they missed the open net. A
lot of credit has to go to our de
fenseman and our forwards who
forechecked and backchecked
well.”
L.A. defenseman Jay Wells
said the Kings had no special
method of defensing Gretzky,
other than to play him tough.
“I just think everytime he
went for the puck, we hit him and
we pushed him,” he said. “We
have to play that way against him
— he’s a great skater.”
In his post-game comments,
Gretzky expressed a mixture of
disappointment and relief.
“I’m disappointed it’s over,
but it’s a relief,” he said. “I’m
going down to Atlantic City to
relax for a couple of days . I nev
er thought or dreamed I’d go 51
games. Last year, it was 30, But I
didn’t think 51 was possible.”
The victory snapped a nine-
game winless streak for the Kings
and was the first triumph for in
terim Coach Rogie Vachon, who
took over the club Friday after
Don Perry was fired.
“I was pulling for him (Gretz
ky),” said Vachon. “What I
wanted and what I cared for was
for us to win. But I was cheering
for him.”
Gretzky’s scoring streak had
been the focus of much attention
in recent weeks, and one
oddsmaker in Las Vegas had put
the odds against the 23-year-old
all-star scoring in all 80 regular-
season game at 500-to-l.
“I guess nobody will collect the
500 to 1 bet,” he said.
Before Gretzky went on his
record-setting tear, the longest
point scoring streak had been the
30-game stretch he compiled last
year. Guy Lafleur held the mark
up until that point by scoring in
28 straight games in 1976-77.
Nicholls sandwiched his goals
around a tally by teammate
Anders Hakansson in the second
period as the Kings built a 3-0
edge.
