fessional sports. The NHL’s Boston
Bruins have 19 straight winning sea
son. The NFL’s second-longest ac
tive winning streak is five by Miami.
In the history of professional
sports, only the New York Yankees
— 39 straight winning seasons 1939-
64 — and the Montreal Canadiens
—32 straight, 1952-83 — have bet
tered the Cowboys’ mark.
Coach Tom Landry finished Sun
day night’s game against the Rams in
a bulletproof vest after a series of
telephoned threats on his life.
“I think it’s just something we
have in our society today and we
have to deal with it,” Landry said.
Larry Wansley, a former FBI
agent who is the Cowboys’ director
of security, was by Landry’s side.
“I just put on a vest and went back
out,” Landry said. “The authorities
were nervous. I just don’t think
much about those things.”
Dallas running back Herschel
Walker said, “This is an unusual
world with unusual people. Coach
Landry showed how much he cared
for his team in that he came back.
That showed a lot of courage.”
Dallas’ offense collapsed against
the Rams as quarterback Steve Pel-
luer suffered an interception return
for a touchdown and was sacked for
a safety.
Landry said Pelluer was just in
shell shock as the Cowboys lost for
the fifth time in their last six games.
“We still have some hope for
Steve,” Landry said. “It’s just hard
for an inexperienced quarterback to
do anything.”
Starting quarterback Danny White
suffered a broken wrist in a 17-14
loss to the New York Giants and the
Cowboys haven’t been the same
since. The Cowboys, who averaged
33 points per game under White,
have fallen to 14 under Pelluer.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ted
Tollner has been dismissed as the
head football coach at the University
of Southern California, effective
next month, the university’s presi
dent announced at a news confer
ence Monday.
In Tollner’s four years as head
coach, the Trojans had a 26-19-1 re
cord with one Pacific-10 Conference
championship and three appear
ances in post-season bowl games, in
cluding the 1985 Rose Bowl.
The Trojans finished the 1986
season at 7-4 and will play Auburn in
the Florida Citrus Bowl on New
Year’s Day. Southern Cal was
ranked 10th in the nation before los
ing its final two games, 45-25 to
UCLA on Nov. 22 and 38-37 to
Notre Dame a week later.
“This press conference has been
called to announce my decision to
relieve Ted Tollner as head football
coach of USC effective Jan. 2, 1987,
after the Florida Citrus Bowl,”
Southern Cal President James Zum-
berge said in a statement.
After going 4-6-1 during his first
season, Tollner led the Trojans to a
Pac-10 Conference championship in
1984 and a 20-17 victory over Ohio
State in the Rose Bowl. Tollner was
named the 1984 Pac-10 Coach of the
Year.
Tollner was named the Southern
Cal’s 18th head coach in November
1982, succeeding John Robinson,
now the head coach of the Los An
geles Rams. Tollner had spent nine
months as the school’s offensive
coordinator and running backs
coach before being appointed head
coach.

it’s gut-check time for Oilers
HOUSTON (AP) — After getting
blanked by the San Diego Chargers,
it’s gut-check time for the Houston
Oilers, coach Jerry Glanville says.
“We’ll expect more from them,”
he said Monday, speaking of his
team in the wake of a 27-0 weekend
shutout at San Diego. We’ll find out
who can get up off the floor and
we’ll find out after they look at the
film and see for themselves who will
come back. And we’ll find out who
we can count on in the future.”
Glanville said with few exceptions,
his team’s pitiful 134 yards in of
fense was the result of wide receivers
not picking up the Charger blitz and
second-string quarterback Oliver
Luck, subbing for injured Warren
Moon, not throwing the ball well.
“Ollie usually gets the job done,”
Glanville said. “This time he did not.
There was no exotic design, no mys
tery,” he said. “It’s important for our
players to come back afer getting
whipped — which we did.”
Glanville said films of a game gen
erally show that good games are not
as good as they immediately appear
and bad games are not as bad.
“Unfortunately, this film may test
that theory,” he said.
Monday marked one year since
Glanville took over from Hugh
Campbell, who was fired after a 3-11
mark. So far this season, Glanville is
3-11.
“We’ve improved in every single
category there is in football except
the most important — which is win
ning,” he said. “Other categories, we
are better. Usually what you have to
do when you’ve been 28th in the
league in everything, you need to
make a move to get yourself in a po
sition to win.”
Seahawks destroy Raiders, 37-0
SEATTLE (AP) — Dave Krieg
passed for a pair of touchdowns.
Curt Warner ran for two more
scores and Seattle’s defense re
corded a team-record 11 sacks Mon
day night as the Seattle Seahawks
kept their NFL playoff hopes alive
with a 37-0 victory over the Los An
geles Raiders.
The loss dealt a harsh blow to the
Raiders’ playoff chances and meant
they no longer were in control of
their own destiny with two regular-
season games remaining. Both the
Seahawks and the Raiders now are
8-6. Both teams trail Cincinnati, 9-5,
in the race for the last wild-card
playoff berth.
It was the first time the Raiders
had been shut out since Oct. 11,
1981, when they were blanked by
Detroit, Denver and Kansas City in
successive games.
The Seahawks’ victory also gave
Denver, a loser Sunday, the AFC
West championship.
Krieg, benched for two games this
season for poor play, passed 12
yards to Ray Butler and 10 yards to
Steve Largent for touchdowns in the
first half, as the Seahawks grabbed a
24-0 lead. Krieg completed 14 of 21
passes for 243 yards and two touch
downs and also had five carries for
23 yards.
Warner, who rushed 23 times for
116 yards, scored on runs of 5 and 3
yards while Norm Johnson added
had field goals of 53, 51 and 46
yards.
A noisy Kingdome crowd of
62,923 watched the Seahawks record
their third straight victory and their
second shutout of the season. It was
the Raiders’ second loss in a row.
The Seahawks recorded their club
record 11 sacks against three Raid
ers’ quarterbacks; Jim Plunkett,
Marc Wilson and Rusty Hilger.
