KC's Still rescues AFC with key fumble return
By United Press International
HONOLULU — Art Still, the Kansas City Chiefs' massive defensive end, lumbered a ProBowl-record 83 yards with a fumble recovery yesterday to give the American Football Conference a 22-14 victory over the National Conference.
He picked up the loose ball with 5:17 left when quarterback Neil Lomax of St. Louis and running back Eric Dickerson of Los Angeles collided in the backfield, arring the ball loose.
STILL, 6-FOOT-7 AND 257 pounds, was accompanied on his run by a two-player convo. He avoided Jones Lotion of Green Bay twice and dismantled to post the AFC's winning points.
Norm Johnson of Seattle added a 22-yard field goal with 45 seconds left, again after a fumble recovery — to put the game out of reach.
The NFC, which had won the last two Pro Bowls with offensive explosions, appeared ready for the clincher after Miami's Reggie Roby got off a 4-yard punt at the FAC 43.
Walter Payton of Chicago rushed twice for 33 yards and the NFC had the ball on the 14 when man-max-Dickerson misplay occurred.
The NFC, which trailed 90 at halftime, scored in the third quarter on a 13-yard pass from Joe Montana of San Francisco to Loffton and moved ahead early in the fourth quarter on a 1-yard dive by Pavon.
JOHNSON KICKED HIS first
field goal, a 33-yarder, to narrow the gap to 14-12 before Still capitalized on the Lomax-Dickerson miscue to turn the game around.
The AFC's first points came in the second quarter when Mark Gastineau of the New York Jets, a former Detroit Lions player, sacked Lonax for a safety.
The safety capped three consecutive sacks of Lomax, starting at the NFC 20. Gastineau's Jets teammate Joe Klecko dropped Lomax for an 11-yard loss and Rodney Jones scored twice to put the St. Louis quarterback down on the three to set the stage for Gastineau's play.
The AFC defense also set up the AFC's first score when Fredd Young of Seattle blocked a punt by Brian Hansen of the New Orleans Saints to give the AFC the ball at the NFC 15.
DAN MARINO OF Miami hit Marcus Allen of the Raiders from 12 yards out to give the AFC its 9 first half points.
The game featured the Super
Bowl's two glamour quarterbacks.
Montana completed 10-of-14 for
the Falcons and Marino 10-of-21 for
129 yards.
The NFC more than doubled its opponents in total yardage with 426 vards to 204 for the AFC
The game provided little excitement during the first half with the exception of six booming pants and a few averaged 14 yards on the kicks.
He punted four more times in the second half to set a record for the most in a game. He averaged 44.3 yards on 10 punts, but his mark fell when he totaled only 25 yards on his final two kicks.

Hoyas' loss opens debate on No.1 spot
By United Press International
Since last April's NCAA Championship, there has been little mystery surrounding the identity of the nation's No. 1 team. Now, nine months later, the issue once again is open to dispute.
No 3. St. John's cleared a path to its first No. 1 ranking when it built an 18-point lead over Georgetown at the Capital Centre with 11 minutes left Saturday, and the Redmen then hung on for a 66-65 victory, breaking their Big East rivals' 29-game winning streak.
Second-ranked Southern Methodist could have staked a claim to No. 1, but the Mustangs lost center Jon Koncatak foul trouble and fell 64-83.
"I DON'T KNOW what the pollsters are going to say or do — and I don't really care," said Georgetown forward Bill Martin. "I won't start thinking of rankings until after the championship."
The Hoyas, 18 points down with 11 minutes left, used a furious rally to come within one basket of the Redmen. But poor free-throw shooting proved to be Georgetown's demise.
Saturday night to Southwest Conference rival Texas Tech.
The defending national champions hit only 2 of 7 from the line in the final 6:39, including misses on the front end of two 1-and-1 situations.
GEORGETOWN CENTER PA-TRICK Ewing managed only 9 points and 7 shots against Bill Wentingham and Walter Berry as the Hoyas fell to 18-1 overall and 7-1 in the Bier East
The Redmen, 15-1 and 7-0, were the last to beat the Royas, constructing a 21-point second-half lead last February before winning 75-71. The clubs next meet Feb. 27 at Madison Square Garden.
St. John's swingman Chris Mullin, who hit 7 of 12 shots for 20 points, while adding 8 rebounds, has his
opinion on who's No. 1 — and it's not the Redmen.
Southern Methodist coach Dave Bliss is another with a No. 1 viewpoint.
"The rankings don't matter that much," he said. "Besides, if I was voting, I'd vote St. John's because they beat the No. 1 team."
"We did a terrific job of coming bliss," Bliss said. "Our pride and effort keyed our comeback. We just got in so much foul trouble that we were pressing a little and we couldn't to some of the things wanted."
AT LUCKBUR, TEXAS, Tony Benford's 10-foot basejumper with three seconds remaining lifted Texas Tech. SMU, 16-2 and 6-1; Benford is down with five minutes left despite the 7-foot Konckal on the bench.
Three other top teams were defeated Saturday. Arizona State outlasted No. 8 Oregon State 83-82 in double overtime. Dayton beat No. 10
DePaul 65-64 and Lamar downed No.
11 Louisiana Tech 72-64.
At Corvallis, Ore., Steve Beck's three free throws keyed a 7-4 Arizona State sport starting the second overtime and the Sun Deels sur-
urance against the Arizona 10-game winning streak and 17-game victory string at home.
At Dayton, Ohio, Dave Colbert tipped in a shot as the buzzer sounded to allow Dayton to continue its hex over the blue Demons. The Flyers beat DePaul in similar fashion last year when Ed Young's last-second shot gave them a 72-71 victory. DePaul coach Joey Meyer argued Colbert's tip-in came after the buzzer.
"IT SHOWS WE have a pretty tough league," said Arizona State coach Bob Weinhauer. "Everyone has been knocking the Pac-10, but none of the teams are that bad. Everyone can play everyone in this conference."
