The 46 points were the most ever scored in a Super Bowl and the margin of victory was the largest ever. “The Monsters of the Midway have really returned,” NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle said, in presenting the championship tro phy. “In one respect it's probably better that you won because otherwise the person who founded this league, Ceorge Flalas, might have come back and taken this league away from us.” Bears Coach Mike Ditka, a tight end on Chicago’s last championship team, coached by Halas, in 1963, said, “We can get a little better, we can score a few more points on offense.” Chicago assistant coach Buddy Ryan’s “46,” which often puts eight men on the line of scrimmage, set up 32 of the 46 points. Led by Richard Dent, the game’s Most Valuable Player, the Bears registered seven sacks to tie a Super Bowl record, held New England to minus-19 yards in the first half and didn’t allow a pass completion for 25 minutes or a first down for 26. Only one of New England’s First 16 plays from scrim mage — a three-yard run by Craig James — gained yardage. Bears’ quarterback Jim McMahon ran for two touchdowns and passed for 256 yards before leaving at the end of the third quarter with a slightly sprained left wrist. But Walter Payton, the Bears’ and the NFL’s all-time leading rusher, didn’t score in his First Super Bowl in 11 seasons. In fact, he was upstaged once again by 300- pound lineman William “The Refrigerator” Perry, who ran for one TD, threw a block for another, and even tried to throw a pass. “Yes, I was disappointed,” said Payton, who gained 61 yards in 22 carries. “I feel bad, but that’s the way it goes.” Perry said of his touchdown, “Coach Ditka called it and I was overwhelmed. I thought I was going in to block for Walter.

Arraignments set for Marbury, Holloway By KEN SURY Assistant Sports Editor Texas A&M basketball players Don Marbury and Todd Holloway will be arraigned before a Robertson County court judge March 21 to an swer to misdemeanor charges of marijuana possession, Robertson County District Attorney Jimmie McCullough told The Battalion Sun day. The charges stem from a Jan. 16 incident in Calvert, six miles north west of Hearne, in which Marbury and Holloway were stopped by Cal vert police for a speeding violation. According to information from the Robertson County Sheriffs Of fice and Calvert Justice of the Peace John C. Woods, a 1980 Buick driven by Marbury was pulled over by Cal vert police for driving 72 mph in a 55 mph zone about 7:30 p.m. Jan. 16. The.Buick lurched backward and bumped into the Calvert police car, Woods said, and the officer radioed for assistance. Upon arrival of other officers. Woods said, the police found an en velope of marijuana seeds under the car but were denied permission to search the car. A search warrant was obtained, and more marijuana was found inside the Buick. Woods said Marbury and Hollo way were charged with a Class B mis demeanor for possession of less than two ounces of marijuana each. The Don Marbury offense carries a fine of not more than $1,000 and/or imprisonment of not more than 180 days. Bail was set at $1,000 each, and Marbury and Holloway were released at 11 p.m. on personal recognizance bonds. Woods said. McCullough said if Marbury and Holloway plead guilty to the charges at the March 21 hearing, they will be sentenced immediately. If they plead not guilty, then preparations will be made for a formal trial. After Saturday’s game against Rice, Holloway talked with reporters briefly about the incident. Holloway denied any wrongdoing, saying, “Hey, I’m a junior, I know right from wrong. Everything else is in the past. I came out to play ball (against Rice). “We (the Aggies) want to win the Todd Holloway (Southwest) Conference. All I’m concerned about is going to school and playing basketball.” A&M Head Basketball Coach Shelby Metcalf, commenting on the charges, said Saturday, “They tljld me they were innocent and I believe them.” Metcalf added that none of his players have tested positive in weekly random urinanalysis drug tests. “I have not talked to the people (law enforcement officials) in Rob ertson County (about the incident),” Metcalf said. “I’ve got my job, and they’ve got their job. I’m not going to interfere with that. “But if they (Marbury and Hollo way) need a character witness. I’ll be the first to line up.” Ugandan rebel replaces junta lunger Irazos County not os hungry os it appears Associated Press recent Harvard University re- has identified Brazos County as lungriest county in Texas and 46th hungriest county in the ed States, but the leader of a re- h teams said it probably isn’t, arge numbers of Texas A&M :nts live off campus in Bryan College Station.

Nevertheless, Allen said the sur vey succeeded in most cases in iden tifying poverty and hunger prob lems that previously were ignored or overlooked because of preoccupa tion with more apparent regions of poverty like the Rio Grande Valley. Although officials in some rural counties hadn’t considered them selves to have severe hunger prob lems, the data demonstrated vividly the problem in access to, or altitudi nal barriers toward, food stamps, Al len said. “We used very, very crude mea sures, and there is no question that we are going to miss some things,” Allen told the Bryan-College Station Eagle. “But if we generate some local de bate about how we can make things better . . . and help create the atti tude in some of these areas that it’s not a terribly shameful thing to ap ply for food stamps, then we have accomplished something,” she said. State Sen. Hugh Parmer, who guided the state’s Hunger Bill through the Legislature last year, agreed that Texas has a significant hunger problem. But he said the study, by using percentages instead of real numbers, did not pick the “hungriest” parts of the state. The Harvard study, conducted by the Physicians Task Force on Hun ger in America, found that 22.3 per cent of Brazos County’s population is living below the poverty standard. The task force also found that only about 12 percent of those who appeared to qualify for food stamps in Brazos County were receiving the stamps. Associated Press NAIROBI, Kenya — The com mander of the Ugandan rebel army said Sunday he had replaced the 6- month-old ruling military council with one of his own and promised to form a broad-based government and punish criminals from previous re gimes. Yoweri Museveni outlined his plans during a speech on the gov ernment-owned radio Sunday af- “Uganda has been messed up by incompetent and politically bankrupt lead ers for the past 24 years. ” — Yoweri Museveni, com mander of the Ugandan rebel army. ternoon, a day after his National Re sistance Army captured the capital, Kampala, and sent thousands of government soldiers fleeing. Museveni appealed for calm in his radio broadcast and said he would appoint non-partisan village com mittees to handle local affairs in NRA-controlled areas. He also promised to form a broad-based, civilian administration “in the shortest time possible.” The Radio Uganda broadcast was monitored in Nairobi. It was the first time since midday Friday that the ra dio had been on the air and the first formal announcement to Ugandans that Kampala had fallen to the NRA. Earlier Sunday, Museveni met with U.S. Ambassador Robert Hou- dek, British High Commissioner Colin MacLean and a representative of the European Common Market, the British High Commission (em bassy) in Nairobi said. The four dis cussed the evacuation of expatriates and restoration of electric, water and telephone services in the city, the commission said. In Washington the State Depart ment said a chartered aircraft will take some embassy personnel and American citizens out of Kampala Tuesday or Wednesday. The State Department had no de tails on how many people were leav ing but said there were about 170 Americans in Uganda, 21 of them attached to the embassy. All Americans in Kampala were safe but were advised to stay in doors, the State Department said. The British, too, were planning to evacuate some of their personnel and citizens but did not have an ex act number, the high commissioner said. The first group of evacuees out of Uganda — seven employees of the United Nations World Food Pro gram and three Lutheran World Foundation workers — arrived aboard a crowded Cessna 560 from Moroto, 218 miles north of Kam pala. The 10 — two Irishmen, two Ke nyans, three Ghanaians, a Filipino, a Bangladeshi and an Ethiopian — asked to be evacuated by air after they found themselves cut off by road and in the path of marauding army deserters. They said some fleeing soldiers were being massacred by soldiers from rival tribes. Deserting army troops were rob bing and beating civilians and loot ing as they retreated, said a group of evacuees who reached Nairobi late Sunday afternoon from Northern Uganda. “Uganda has been messed up by incompetent and politically bank rupt leaders for the past 24 years,” Museveni said. “Their main interests have been sectarianism, corruption and subservience to foreign inter ests.” Since gaining independence from Britain in 1962, Ugandans’ 14 mil lion people have seen leaders de posed three times by coups — Milton “(Ugandan leaders’) main interests have been secta rianism, corruption and subservience to foreign in terests. ” — Yoweri Museveni. Obote twice and dictator Idi Amin once. Museveni also said he was ready to meet with the various other rebel groups and appealed to government soldiers to give up their weapons. criminals given hundreds of years get parole Associated Press ■ALLAS — Seven criminals who I led national attention when they Ived the longest prison sen- les in Texas history in the early Is have been paroled after serv- Inly about 13 years, lorth Dallas County law enforce- |t officials opposed the release of peven, who were sentenced to treds of years in prison for such lesas murder, rape, robbery and Tig drugs. me official said the parole no- Idon’t give enough information, law enforcement’s manpower is low to carefully check each pa- Icandidate. One of those paroled was Carl Ju nior Hackathorn, who was convicted of murdering an 18-year-old woman. The victim’s 2-year-old daughter was left abandoned in the front seat of the woman’s pickup. Hackathorn was sentenced to death in 1963, then retried in 1970 and given a sentence of 1,000 years in prison after his first conviction was overturned on a technicality. He was paroled in 1976 after serv ing 13 years in prison. “The big sentence was a red flag that said, ‘Hey, this is just not a run- of-the mill crime, take a close look at it,’ ” a juror in the Hackathorn case told the Dallas Times Herald in a story published Sunday. “Obviously, it didn’t mean a thing to the (parole board).” Jim Ewell, spokesman for the Dal las County SherifFs Department, said the department is unable to keep up with the volume of parole notices and is able to oppose only those “whose names stick out.” “The information they send to us is almost meaningless,” Ewell said, explaining that only the inmate’s name, offense and sentence are in cluded. In at least two of the cases where the death penalty could have been imposed, jurors said they opted for big life sentences instead, believing that would keep the defendants be hind bars. At the time, the constitutionality of capital punishment was before the U.S. Supreme Court and authorities faced the possiblity of death sen tences being overturned. Joseph Franklin Sills, 65, was sen tenced to the first 1,000-year sen tence in Texas history after being convicted of robbing at gunpoint a dry cleaner. Sills, who was convicted of 20 felonies, was released in 1983 after serving 13 years. James Arthur Guye, 34, was re leased last year after serving about 14 years of a 1,205-year sentence for the 1971 rape and robbery of a Dal las woman and the murder of an in mate while in prison. Guye, a construction worker and student in Harrisburg, Pa., said “I never thought I’d get out.” Sentenced to prison at the age of 19, Guye defended his parole and said, “I’ve started over. I’m not an animal.” John Byrd, executive director of the Board of Pardons and Paroles, defended the inmates’ releases, say ing only one of seven paroled has been in trouble since his release from prison. That parolee, Allan Wayne Mur ray, sentenced to 200 years and pa roled in 1983 after serving 13, was returned to prison last year. He was arrested on drugs and weapons charges, but was acquitted and is now free. The others who received major sentences and have been paroled are Antonio Rodriquez, 43, sentenced to 1,500 years for selling heroin and paroled in 1981 after 12 years; Larry Joe Knox, 37, sentenced to 1,001 years for rape and assault and pa roled in 1983 after 13 years; and Harold Eugene Hill, 39, sentenced to 1,000 years for rape and robbery and released in 1983 after 14 years. “I think there’s something se riously wrong with the judicial sys tem,” James Barnhouse said, who served on the jury that sentenced Knox to prison. “No matter what, even if we gave life, he’s out. What’s the difference?”
