Sunday is the day when the mac
ness will end. The Super Bowl cham
pion will be decidea and America
will get a deserved rest from the
hoopla.
The media is devulging us with
facts, figures, profiles and perdic-
tions on the big game.
Since everyone has predicted who
will win the game, I thought I might
jump in the “school” and make my
pick.
Obviously the two best teams are
in the championship, which hasn’t
always been tne case. The 49ers (15-
1) and Dolphins (14-2) won .906 of
their games, the best combined reg
ular-season record of all time com
ing into a Super Bowl.
A quick anlysis of the teams will
make my prediction easier.
QUARTERBACKS — Miami
wonderboy Dan Marino is the talk of
sports, period. He’s the only quar
terback to ever pass for more than
5,000 yards in a season. That leaves
49er quarterback Joe Montana in a
Strange position — being the second
best quarterback in the league. Mon
tana has an edge in experience in big
games and that could make a differ-

e\ce. However, I just can’t bet
agiinst Jackie Sherrill’s protege
fixm Pitt. Edge: Marino.
WNNING BACKS — Woody
Bennett, Tony Nathan and Joe Car
ter siare the bulk of Miami’s attack.
Wencell “Fumble” Tyler led the
Ninenin rushing with 1,262 yards.
The lolphins ranked last in the
NFL invardage allowed per rushing
attempt.If Tyler holds onto the ball,
the 49er. will grind it out, keeping
the ball oit of Marino’s hands. Edge:
Niners.
WIDE RECEIVERS — Miami’s
receivers hive the edge in numbers
and San Fraicisco the edge in expe
rience. Dophin Mark Clayton
caught 73-fov 1,389 and a record 18
touchdowns, while teammate Mark
“Super” Dupe; added 71-for-l,306.
Botn are in heir second season,
while the 49es have 10-year pro
Freddie Solorron and 6-year man
Dwight Clark. Edge: Miami’s Mark’s
Brothers.
OFFENSIVE LINE—With Mar
ino at the helm, you don’t need an
offensive line. Marino was sacked
only 14 times this season, but the
49ers will threaten that. The Niners,
who allowed only 27 sacks, have
more experience and more All-Pros.
Edge: Niners.
DEFENSIVE LINE — The 49ers
“Gold Rush” alternate seven men,
keeping them fresh at all times. The
Dolphins “Killer Bees” have had
problems all season. Edge: Niners.
LINEBACKERS — The 49ers are
anchored by 15-year veteran Jack
“Hacksaw” Reynolds and Pro
Bowler Keena Turner. The “Killer
Bees” start rookie Jay Brophy along
with second-year players Mark
Brown and Charles Bowser. A.J.
Duhe, perhaps the best defensive
Dolphin has been injured most of
the year. Edge: Niners by 13 years.
DEFENSIVE BACKS— The Dol
phin defensive backs have led the
team in recovering 23 fumbles and
intercepting 24 passes. The 49ers
start four players who have been All-
NFC and All-Pro. Edge: Niners.
SPECIAL TEAMS — Miail
punter Reggie Roby, with his 44."
average, is the best in the league, bin
kicker Uwe Van Schamann (6641
70 PATs and only 9-of-19
goals) is perhaps the worst. Tht I
49ers’ Ray Wersching hit 25-of-3i
field goals. Both teams have excel
lent kick returners (remember Mi
ami’s Fulton Walker ran a kickofi
back for a TD in Super Bowl XVI1|,
Edge: Miami — Why do they need: |
field goal kicker?
In the final analysis, it appean I
that San Francisco has a big advan |
tage on defense and are only sigl
beliind Miami in offense. Just taxi
that into account, one would haveto)
say San Francisco will win. However
the Super Bowl isn’t played on pa |

Miami will win. Why? Because MU
ami’s Don Shula is coaching in to
sixth Super Bowl, the AFC has wot

Miami has never lost to the 49en |
and I just can’t bet against Mr. Mai

Football recruiting a costly ritual

Texas high school football must
have been much simpler back in
Paul Tyson’s day in the early 1930s.
His Waco High Tigers didn’t have
the fancy uniforms or the stadiums
with artificial turf like they do now,
but they must have enjoyed being
the scourge of Texas schoolboy foot
ball without modern hassles.
The pressure of recruiting and
the commercialism of football were
still in their infancy, the lack of
money being what it was in the post-
Depression days.
Competition for the sake of com
peting, that’s what it was, with the
root of all evil a distant second.
No more.
Heavy bread is spent recruiting
the Texas schoolboy football harvest
these winter days. Big bucks. And

some say not all of it is on the up-
and-up.
The high schovj hoopla begins
now in early Januaiv and breaks the
fever on national siyiing day, Feb.
13.
The cream of Text* players have
been getting a heatel rush from
Southwest Conference and other
schools with telephone calls, visits,
and big promises.
The bigger the name, like run
ning back Bill Jones of Corsicana,
the more furious the puijuit. Re
cruiters will down many a chicken
fried steak and soda pop it Corsi
cana on the Bill Jones stake oit.
Bring back a Bill Jones anda uni
versity’s program gets an instavt star
for the 1985 recruiting campaigi.
Land a wide receiver like Jart
Lee Dykes at Bay City and the
alumni goes wild with donations.
It’s a million-dollar business in
Texas every year, spending money
in pursuit of high school football
players. It’s a pearl-diving crap
shoot. It’s a wildcatter drilling for
dollars.
Only the prizes in the cases of Mr.
Jones and Mr. Dykes run like chee
tahs and can win conference titles
and national recognition.
Newspapers tally daily logs on the
progress of the recruiting run.
There are blue-chip lists and oral
commitments.
One newspaper is running a dairy
by a prospective recruit.
Another has headlines like “Bay
City’s Dykes tops the most-wanted
list” or “Texas supermarket draws
shoppers from all over.”
T here are analysis stories aiw|
speculative pieces.
It’s enough to drive any santl
young high school footballer and his |
parents into soccer.
In football-berserk Texas, it’s 11
ritual that even to the Pagans miglu
seem downright Pagan.
It's a ritual all right. Somethiml
that nobody, neither the player not |
the school, really enjovs. Texas’Dar
rell Royal and Arkansas’ Franll
Broyles got out of coaching becaust |
of the rigors of recruiting.
And recruiting budgets resemble I
some of the ones we have in Austin |
when the Legislature convenes.
Maybe kios would be better offif I
schools were only allowed to write
letters.
But that’s not the sell, sell, sell
American way.
