NEW <) RLE A NS (AP) — On Nov.
1, 1981, teams going in opposite di
rections met in Pittsburgh. Final
score: 49ers 17, Steelers 14 in a test
between the two best teams of the
Super Bowl era.
“What I remember about that
game is that it was a big win for us,”
Joe Montana said Monday while re
counting San Francisco’s 55-10 Su
per Bowl rout of Denver. “They still
had a lot of their great players. They
were tough at home and we were a
young team that didn’t know for
sure how good we were.”
They know now.
That 1981 win in Pittsburgh
helped propel San Francisco to its
first Super Bowl victory in January,
1982. Sunday’s victory gave the
49ers their fourth Super Bowl in
four tries — matching Pittsburgh —
and their second in a row, making
the 49ers the first team. to repeat
since the Steelers of 1979-80.
The natural question: which team
is better?
The natural answer: who knows?
“Probably pretty close,” said Mon
tana, a western Pennsylvanian who
rooted for those Steelers as a young
ster. Then the man who won his
third Super Bowl MVP — one of the
many records he set Sunday—ticked

off the comparisons.
“Roger and Franco,” he said in
reference to running backs Craig
and Harris. “Pretty even. Tom Rath-
man and Rocky Bleier. Two great
receivers on each side.”
What about the quarterbacks?
“I still have my hair,” he said in a
reference to balding Terry
Bradshaw, the Steelers’ Hall of Fame
quarterback.
Denver coach Dan Reeves, who
played and coached with Dallas
against those Pittsburgh teams, put
the two in the same league. The only
other team that compares is Green
Bay, which won the first two Super
Bowls and also won NFL titles in
1961, 1962 and 1965.
“San Francisco is one of the great
teams of all time,” Reeves said. “It’s
more difficult to win back-go-back
Super Bowls than it was in the 1960s
and 1970s. I don’t know if I’ve seen a
better team, but it’s difficult to com-
S are without going down position-
y-position.”
Pittsburgh won its four Super
Bowls over a six-year span with
largely the same cast of characters —
22 players were on all four Super
Bowl rosters. Six have already made
the Hall of Fame and three or four
others could.
Only five players were on all four
San Francisco champions and a
sixth, Pete Kugler, played in 1981
but missed 1984 because he had
jumped to the USFL.

USGA settles in Ping Eye-2 golf club decision
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The United States
Golf Association agreed in an out-of-court set
tlement to recognize the Ping Eye-2 square-grooved
club, and the manufacturer agreed to stop making it.
Karsten Manufacturing Corp. had sued the
USGA for $100 million after the USGA refused to
recognize the U-grooved clubs, which differ from
the traditional V-grooved clubs.
“The USGA will pretend they are legal and
Karsten will stop making them,” USGA spokesman
Rich Skyzinski said after the settlement was an
nounced late Saturday.
The settlement effects USGA events such as the
U.S. Open but not the PGA Tour. The company,
which has sold about 2 million sets of the dubs, ob
tained a federal court injunction allowing the clubs
to be used in PGA tournaments. The PGA Tour has
appealed to the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in
San Francisco.
A similar suit against the Royal and Ancient Golf
Club of St. Andrews in Scotland, which sets world
wide rules for golf, was dropped by Karsten earlier
this month.

just something about the way how a
coach of Metcalf s stature is treated
at the end of his career. Crow’s
handling of the matter was pitiful.
Metcalf could have been a valuable
asset to A&M if Crow had used only
a little tact.
But now he’s done something far
worse than simply make a mistake.
He had good intentions, but they
somehow went awry along the. way.
He martyred Shelby Metcalf.
It’s been done before: Tom
Landry, Emory Bellard, Paul
Brown.
Now Crow, a legend in Aggieland
since winning the school’s only
Heisman Trophy, has taken a harsh
lesson in public relations. If you’re
going to lock horns with a bull, make
sure he’s smaller than you.
Crow and Metcalf were the same
size at A&M. Now the school’s taken
sides. Some are glad he’s gone. Some
aren’t. But almost all don’t like the
way he was handled.
That’s not surprising. He wasn’t
handled very well.

I first met Shelby Metcalf in 1980.
My sister was a junior here, and I
came up for a basketball game.
During half time, my father and I
were walking around the inner
workings of G. Rollie White. We
passed the basketball team as it was
coming back on the court. Stuck in
the middle of these gargantuans in
white jerseys was little Shelby
Metcalf, in his checkered sports
jacket and maroon pants.
He said Howdy.
Not much of ^jstory. I}ut a good
memory for a 10-year phd. I don’t
want to remember Shelby Metcalf
the way he looked last Monday night
on TV. But I don’t want to forget
the way he was forced to exit.
Neither should A&M.
When teams lose a member or
coach, they wear black somewhere
on their uniforms. A&M has lost
Shelby Metcalf after a 27-year love
affair. Wear a black armband
Saturday at G. Rollie White
Coliseum when A&M hosts Baylor.
If you can’t find an armband, wear
something black. It’s the least we can
do.
Not bad for a modest proposal.
Video lands Illinois scholarship | to i
NA
DALLAS (AP) — Chris Richard
son’s high school team won only five
games in three years and he never
had a chance for a game-winning
field goal, but he has won a schol
arship to kick footballs for Illinois.
“I wonder what the odds are of a
guy from Dallas on an 0-10 team get
ting a scholarship for kicking at a
Big Ten school?” Richardson asked.
They probably would have been
nil except for Richardson’s per
sistence and the help of one of his
friends, who shot a video of him
kicking.
“That was the difference, the Illi
nois coach told me. They had nar
rowed it to me and a guy from Ala
bama. They wanted to see a film, but
we hardly had any,” Richardson
said.
Field-goal opportunities were al
most as rare, although Berknci
coach Boh Dubey did not shy aw
from calling on Richardson. In fact
one time he gave him a 68-yard tn
Richardson’s longest successful
field goal in 1989 was a 53-yarder
but he has hit from 71 yards in prac
tice.
for Ulini coaches in a video that was
shot with a hand-held camera bvhii
friend, John Plant.
For one thing, the Berkner High
School football team tried one-point
conversions only six times during a
0-10 season. Richardson made five
of those.
“I told (Plant) he saved my par
ents $60,000,” said Richardson who
will sign a letter of intent on Feb. k
the national signing day for prep re
cruits.
Richardson already has been told
by Illinois coach Jcjhn Mackovicthai
he likely will handle kickoffs and
long field goal attempts.
The 6-4, 230-pound youth had
sent letters to 15 colleges, including
eight in the Big Ten.
