Dallas will root
for its enemies
United Press International
DALLAS —r San Francisco quar
terback Joe Montana has done his
share of' damage to the Dallas Cow
boys over the years and the Wash
ington Redskins are not very high on
coach Tom Landry’s list of favorites.
But in the complicated world of
playoff tiebreakers, there will be
some strange bedfellows next week
end.
It is of benefit to the Cowboys for
Montana and his San Francisco
49ers to beat the Los Angeles Rams
Friday night and it might well be to
Dallas’ benefit as well for Washing
ton to down the St. Louis Cardinals.
“It’s hard to become a Joe Mon
tana fan,” Landry said with a smile
Tuesday, “but I guess I will be one.
I’ll root for anybody that gives us a
chance to get in the playoffs. Even
the Redskins.”
A loss by the Rams and a win by
Dallas Monday night over the Miami
Dolphins would put the Cowboys
into the Super Bowl derby. Dallas
could also make the playoffs with a
win over Miami and wins by Wash
ington over St. Louis and New Or
leans over the New York Giants.
Because of all that, San Francisco
coach Bill Walsh and Miami coach
Don Shula have made it clear they
intend to do everything in their
power to make sure their teams per
form well, even though their teams
have clinched division champion
ships.
“If the game doesn’t mean any
thing to us, but does have a factor on
the NFC East, I have an obligation to
other teams and other coaches to do
the best job we can to win the foot
ball game,” Shula said.
That is all well and good, Landry
said, but sometimes it is hard to con
vince the players.
“The coaches don’t have to play,”
Landry said. “The player in that po
sition will usually go out and play
well, but he won’t play with the same
intensity as he will when the playoffs
are on the line.
“When we have been in that posi
tion (of having clinched a playoff
spot) we have usually performed
pretty well. If you are sitting there
with a 14-1 record, it is hard to go
out and play bad. But if it comes
down to putting a little extra on it to
win the game, that is a little harder
to do.”
The Cowboys’ 30-28 loss to Wash
ington Sunday was a bitter blow for
Landry to take and it still showed
Tuesday.
The
Washington game has to
rate as one of the big disappoint
ments we’ve had through the years,”
he said. “It doesn’t rate with the Ice
Bowl (the NFL championship game
loss to Green Bay at the end of the
1967 season) or something like that.
But it was disappointing because we
played so hard.
“The only thing we can do is tee it
up again Monday night and try to
play a good game. You don’t know
what the outcome of the games will
be over the weekend, but you have
to get ready now if you are going to
play a good game. You can’t wait un
til you see if it means anything.
“Both the Rams and Dallas have
their work cut out for them. Even
though they are going against teams
that are in the playoffs already, they
are the top teams in the league and
ou have got to meet them in their
ome park,” Landry said.

“If you capable of winning games
like those, you will probably go into
the playoffs and do something. If
you are not, you probably shouldn’t
be there anyway.”
Flutie's miracle
raises NFL stock
United Press International
NEW YORK — The final play of
the Miami game has replaced size as
the topic people first bring up when
they meet Doug Flutie.
The play was the 48-yard touch
down strike with no time left that
lifted Boston College to a 47-45 vic
tory over Miami Nov. 23. In fairness
to Flutie, that play did not earn him
the Heisman Trophy or any individ
ual honors — he haa them all locked
up long before.
But that pass to roommate Gerard
Phelan displayed all the qualities that
C ut the magic in Flutie’s college foot-
all career. The 5-foot-9 inch quar
terback scrambled away from pres
sure, found an open receiver amid
chaos and threw the ball 65 yards on
the money to win a game that ap-
E ed lost when the Eagles fell be-
wilh 28 seconds left and no
timeouts.
That combination, along with Flu-
tie’s glowing statistics, earned him
UPI Player of the Year honors. Flu
tie was the overwhelming choice
among 78 sports writers and broad
casters around the country, receiv
ing 56 votes to six for second-place
Ohio State tailback Keith Byars.
“I’ve always been able to reach
down deep in the big situation in the
big game, Flutie said, summing up
his four years at Boston College.
Flutie finishes his career in the
Jan. 1 Cotton Bowl against Houston
but already has passed for 10,579
yards and generated 11,317 yards in
total offense — both major college
records.
Along with being the All-America
quarterback, Flutie is an academic
All-America and has the personality
to match.
■“I’ll tell you something you won’t
believe — he’s a better kid than he is
player,” Boston College Coach Jack
Bicknell said. “He’s got our whole
team convinced the Heisman is a
team award. Those guys all played
their hardest every game to win the
award for Doug.”
After responding to challenges
for four years, Flutie’s biggest test
lies in the future. Few quarterbacks
his size have made it in the NFL but
many pro scouts feel Flutie is worth
using a first-round draft choice on.
If there’s not enough interest
among the NFL team that drafts
him, he’ll take millions from the
USFL’s New Jersey Generals. He
prefers the challenge of the NFL,
however, and Bicknell sees no rea
son why he can’t make it in the estab
lished league.
“If the pros want to know if he can
throw, he can throw,” Bicknell said.
“He can gun the ball, throw the ball
long, feather it, whatever you have
to do.
“He’s captured the imagination of
a lot of people.”
Flutie tries to keep it all in per
spective.
“If I never play another play, I’d
consider myself a success as a foot
ball player,” he sajd.

fourth book in
the Hitchhiker's Trilogy is
"the best entry since the original
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."
—Kirkus Reviews
Arthur Dent and the gang are back - in the fourth book in the Hitchhiker’s Trilogy,
a riotous and riveting series with more than four-million copies in print. It’s every
thing you wanted to know about the first three books, but never thought to ask.
Join Arthur in his quest to find out:
• What really happened the day the Earth was demolished?
• Why have all the dolphins vanished?
• What is God’s Final Message to His Creation?
The Washington Post called Douglas Adams’s first book “extremely funny
... inspired lunacy that leaves hardly a science-Gction cliche alive.” His sec
ond book was “highly recommended” by the Library Journal which praised
it as “one of the best pieces of science-fiction humor available.” And Time
raved that his third book was “like nothing ever published before.”
