Page 10 University Daily Kansan, January 25, 1982 Forty-Niners win Super Bowl By United Press International PONTIAC, Mich. — Over-boy quarterback Joe Montana brought the San Francisco 49ers their first Super Bowl championship yesterday, running for one touchdown in the game and the 49ers to a 26-21 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Montana, featured on the cover of several of the nation's leading magazines this week, lived up to the big buildup. He plunged one yard for San Francisco's first touchdown, threw an 11-yard scoring pass to Earley and set up one of Ray Wersching's two first-half plays that produced a 20-0 half-time lead. Tom Dinkel AND WHEN the Bengals roared back to trim the lead to 14-1 early in the final quarter, Montana brought the 49ers back for Wersching's clinching 40-yard field goal with 5-25 remaining in the game. Montana, voted the game's most valuable player, completed 14 of 22 passes for 157 yards. Wersching added a record-tying fourth field goal with 1:57 left, connecting from 23 yards after Eric Wright, a Missouri graduate, intercepted a Ken Anderson pass and returned it to the Bengals' 22. "I don't think people believed in us even after the Dallas game." Montana said. "The coaches picked Cincinnati in a poll. But we stuck together, and we won together. The key had to be our defense. We made mistakes in the second half and didn't move the ball, and the defense bailed us out." Joe Montana will be the great player in football during the 1980s," he said. "He's a team coach, but he just finished his first full year as a starter." He is one of the top players. most instinctive players the game has ever seen." ALLEEPARED at halftime that the game would be a blowout as San Francisco turned three turnovers into scores and held a 20-10 lead. But the Bengals refused to give up. But the bengals forced us to give up. They scored on their first possession of the second half, moving 83 yards in nine plays. Anderson, who set a Super Bowl record for completions with 25 in 34 attempts, hit Steve Kreider for 19 yards and had a 13-yard gain on a flea-flicker pass to Isaac Curtis. A personal foul put the ball on the San Francisco 11 and two plays later, Anderson dashed five yards on the middle for the score. San Francisco's offense went to pieces in the third period. The 49ers were unable to move past their own quarter and did not produce a first down. The key to the game came late in the third quarter. David Verser ANDERSON, TAKING control at the 49er's after Mike Miler's 17-year punt return, brought the Bengals into scoring position, after a couple of Cincinnati penalties, with a 56-yard pass to rookie Cris Collinsworth to the A 10-yard pass to Dan Ross put the ball at the five and Pete Johnson's two carries brought the ball to the one. Johnson, the 250-pound pile-driving fullback, was stopped for no gain on second down by linebacker Jack Reynolds, Charles Alexander was stopped just short of the goal line by Danny Bunz after taking a pass in the backfield. He was stacked up for the left at the left side of the sack's defense on fourth and one of the SRS. The victory marked the first time a team had been able to come from a losing record the previous season to a Super Bowl championship the next. The 49ers won only eight games the past two seasons, but they won the NFC West title with a 13-3 record, the best in the NEL. ALTHOUGH MOST of the headlines throughout the season went to Montana and wide receiver Dwight Clark, who caught four passes for 45 yards, it was the veterans that stabilized this young team. Veterans Reynolds, tight end Charlie Young and NFC defense player of the year Fred Dean, all acquired in trades from other NFL California teams, were the age that Walsh added to the youth to bring San Francisco its first Super Bowl. "No one could take us this year, and we brought the world championship to a great city." Walsh said. "Without a child there is the greatest moment of my life." The Super Bowl had a Kansas flavor as two former Jayhawk players were on the field for the Bengals. David Verser, a Kansas senior last year, returned kickoffs for the Bengals and Tom Dinkel, a senior in 1977, was the captain of the specialty teams for Cincinnati.

KU swimmer Tammy Thomas glides through the water on her way to a first place finish in the 100-yard freestyle against Iowa State and Oklahoma on Saturday. KU swim team wins; coach unhappy By MIKE ARDIS By MIKE ARDIS Sports Writer Winning a three-take meet by more than 200 points usually means a team performed well. However, swimming was the case, and said that wasn't the case this weekend. The KU women's team took first with 1,009 points followed by Oklahoma with 777 and Iowa State with 681. KU took five of the seven events Friday night and built up a 50-point lead. KU took 17 of 24 events overall. Still, Kempf wasn't happy with the effort Friday. "I've probably never been more disappointed with an effort," he said. "My philosophy is that you can't afford what happened tonight. We just didn't." KU CONTINUED to win Saturday. Among the brighter spots were Jenny Wagstaff, who won five events and recorded an NCAA-qualifying time in the 100-yard individual medley. Celine Cerny and Shelly Bliek each won three titles, Jamie Simmons the fifth butterfly, 100 backstroke and the 50 backstroke. swimmers compete in other than their ten events to see how they would do. "I wanted to check us惑," he said. "The meet served its purpose, I have a pretty good idea of who I'll take (to the Big Eight meet)." For the swimmers it was a chance to swim something different. “In a way it was good,” Bieck said. “It breaks up the monochrom and it takes some of the pressure off of you. You can handle this big event and I have to do it in it.” Bieck won the 200 freestyle, 1,650 freestyle and the 200 individual medal. The Kansas women's track team grabbed second place in last Friday's triangular meet, falling to Missouri and Ohio at Heineman Center in Columbia. "They did some good things," Kempf said. "I guess I just expect a lot. As long as I've been here we've had a tendency that if they don't swim well, we don't." Women's track team takes second at Missouri Kempf said that Saturday the Jayhawks' effort improved. In the meet Kempf had some of the Kansas placed someone in the top three in nine of the twelve events. Coach Carla C-ree said it was a pretty good meet overall, but that Missouri and Iowa surprised the KU team in the sprints. In other events Spearmon placed second in the 60 and third in the 300. Anja Johannessen placed second in the 800 behind Jenny Hydden of Iowa. A time of 5:15.26 gave Gretchen Bajemba third in the one-mile run, and Kim Jones' leag of 18.3 % took second in the long jump. the shot put pushed her past Gail Smith of Iowa for first place. Connie McKernan combined with Smitherman for a one-two punch in the 60-yard hurdles. Smitherman ran the hurdles in 8.15. McKernan followed with 8.29. Smytherman also took second in the 600 with a time of 1:24.88. She finished behind Rosalyn Dumail of Missouri, who qualified for the AIAW Indoor Championship. Lorenna Tucker placed third in the same event with a time of 1:25.88. The women travel Friday to Lincoln, Neb. Dora Spearman, Nancy McCullough, Tucker and Smitherman combined to win the 800 relay with a time of 1:41.73. Stine Lerdahl and Donna Smitherman took individual victories for the Jayhawks. Lerdahl's hardship of 46-10 in Jayhawks return home tonight The Jayhawks, after opening with three of their first four Big Eight games on the road, will get back to the friendly confines of Allen Field House this week. By RON HAGGSTROM Sports Editor KU, I-3 in conference play, suffered its third road loss in the conference Saturday when they were defeated by State 70-83 in Anearn Field House. WITH THREE home games this week, one non-conference, the Jayshaws have the chance to get back on with whom they'll lead after their overall record slipped to nine. "We have three games at home this week," Coach Ted Owens said. "They are critical to our season. KU will begin its home slate tonight when they host Alcorn State, a member of the Southwestern Conference, at 7:35. "This week will determine whether we have a good team or not." After the Braves contest, Colorado will come to town Wednesday and Oklahoma Saturday. "I FEELS great to be going home," said David Magley, who scored 12 points and pulled down 9 rebounds in the win. "I feel like we have a little support when we eat home." "We haven't had the crowds the way we used to have. But the fans we have are good." The Jayhawk road schedule the rest of the season looks brighter. They have already faced the toughest team in the conference on the road. KU HAS already played Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas State on the road. "But it's over and it's behind us." "Looking back on it, that was one of the toughest things to do," Tony Guy said. "Those are three of the toughest places to play. Co-captain Magley agreed. "Evidently it was difficult. We lost all three of them," he said. Against the Wildcats, after Kelly Knight's basket tied the game, 4-4, the KU bench was whistled for a technical foul. K-State guard Tim Jankovich, who finished with 14 points, went to the line and responded by hitting both free throws. After that it was all downhill for the Jayhawks as they could get no closer than four points the rest of the game. The Wildecats increased their lead to eight at the half. 36-28. "I FELT we could get back into the game in the second half." Owens said. Our players had confidence in them that they knew they could come back." "I thought we played a very, very fine basketball game," Kansas State coach Jack Hartman said. "We did a lot of things well. Knight's field goal at the beginning of the second half closed the gap to six, but that was as close as the Jayhawks could get in the second half. "I was really pleased with the way we were able to remain in control of the ballgame and not let the momentum change."
