European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - October 2, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Thursday october 2. 1988 the stars and stripes Page 21 Kansas or Mcaa a tie s a tie in Dodds coverage of last week s opening football action was pretty Good Only one game went unreported and another went unpublished because the Home coach neglected to get any names and details on the visiting team s scoring. That was Loo bad because one of the homeowners ran the opening Kickoff Back 85 Yards Tor a touchdown. Tom Leblanc Dodds Germany athletic coordinator called to make a correction in the reporting of the Wiesbaden Heidelberg game. It ended in a 0-0lie, and Wiesbaden finally prevailed on the fifth pos session in tiebreaker Competition. The correction stems from the fact that the dead lock was construed As being broken by use of the Kansas tiebreaker. Not so. The lie breaking proce Dure used was the Mcaa regulation. The Basic differences arc that the Kansas method starts from the 10 and can be broken Only by the offence scoring a touchdown while Mcaa action originates on the 25 and a team can elect to go for a Field goal if it so desires. U could also win by a safety but losing 75 Yards in four Downs is next to impossible. And it can also win by the defense intercepting a pass or recovering an in air Fumble and going All the Way for a score. I have always contended that if a tiebreaker is played and a result is established that result should be the final outcome. Dodds has a completely different philosophy a lie s a lie unless a special determination must be made. Under its application the tiebreaker is ignored unless those two clubs tie in the standings at inc end of the season and the tiebreaker decision is necessary to determine a playoff representative. My prognostications weren t quite As Good As the coaches response however. I opened with a 13-8-1 record. There were several close games that came in the if Only and i would have been right category but coming close counts Only in horseshoes. This week most of the action is in conference play with Bamberg playing Host to Fulda and Ulm entertaining Vilseck in Friday night games. All the others take place saturday. Hoping for improvement i go with Frankfort 16, Mannheim 8 Kolte Guntern 22, Stuttgart 18 Ems Luln 20, Wiesbaden 18 Lla Umhauer 16, Hunan 2 wuenbon12,bithiinj8 Zweig Roetken 12, Patch 6  Bonn 6, so Sterberg 0 Lakenheath 6, act Mburu 0 Heidelberg 25, Nuernberg 12 Berlin 18, osterholz 6 Fulda 18, Bamberg 14 Glass in 24, bad Kreuz Nach 8 Karlsruhe 25, Ansbach is Augsburg 16, Munich 12 a ask 8, Ulm 7 shape 20, Brussels 16 Croughton 18, London 8 Vic Roza 16, Valano 6 Rola 33, Tot Cjon red 20 Torr Joo White 24, Zaragoza 12 one thing that would help immensely would be calling in the results As Coon after the game As Possi ble.

Mathias Pehrsson added to his is school Rushing and scoring statistics by chalking up 167 Yards in six carries and scoring three touchdowns As the raiders recorded their ninth straight Victory a33-6 Conquest of London. Those achievements earned the 5-8, 160-Pound running Back stirs and stripes offensive player of the week recognition. Defensive accolades go to Stuttgart linebacker Joel wallers who was in on 10 tackles and also was credited with a Fumble recovery and an interception in the stallions 7-0 decision Over Patch. Sixty boys and four girls will compete this week a the Germany golfers stage the first championship of Dodds 1986-87 school year at Heidel  boys who averaged under 110 during the four regular season outings qualified for the finals. Only four girls competed in Golf this year and All four were permuted to play at Heidelberg. After the first Day the boys tournament will be broken Down into flights with the lop half competing n the championship flight. Two weeks ago i wrote about Berlin s dropping Golf and Richard Breem s being denied the Opportunity of becoming the first Dodds player to win the title three straight years. 1 said that Leblanc did t have any objections if Breem and the other Berlin golfers came to the weekly Competition if arrangements could be made. It turns out that arrangements were made and that Berlin actually did Field a team and compete on week. However some discipline problems developed on the duty train Back to Berlin and that s when school officials disbanded the  people just Don t appreciate it when others go out of their Way to be kind. Genius is fitting tag for Walsh by Dave Goldberg a football writer a lot of people Aroun j the nil resent san Francisco coach Bill Walsh and the Genius Label that has been Hung on him. With apologies to those resent Ere. Based on the first Quarter of the 1986 season the Label his Well playing with quarterback Jeff Kemp i place of the injured Joe Montana without running backs Wendell Tyler and Joe Cribbs and with two rookies starting at cornerback san Francisco has a 3-1 record and As Good a shot at winning the a fewest As the quarterback poor los Angeles rams or the upstart Atlanta Falcons. Kemp considered a barely adequate backup in five years with the rams has been the perfect reclamation project for Walsh. A 49 percent passer in los Angeles he has completed a Montana like 63.4 per cent this year although Walsh has not Al ways been satisfied with his play. In sunday s 31-16 Victory Over Miami for example Walsh suggested that Kemp had held the Ball too Long missing open receivers. Bui he coach added he made the key plays that got us in the end zone three limes and that s solid  then there Are Don Griffin and Tim Mckyer who became the starting cornerback when Dwight Hicks was Cut analysis and All pro Eric Wright went on injured Reserve. Wright will do Back next week but meanwhile the 49ers Lead the league with ii interceptions two of which be Long to Mckyer and one to  has experience with such things. The 1981 san Francisco team Hal won the super bowl had three rookies starting in the secondary Wright Ronnie Lott and Carlton Williamson. We had a track record so it made it easier to do Walsh said. But it s is ways risky. These two kids have made it easy. They re playing  Griffin and Mckyer Are products of san Francisco s Peculiar draft Day on which Walsh traded the 49crs out of the first round and almost out of the second to gel extra picks next year. In one Trade he got Washington s 1987 first round Choice for a second Rounder with which the redskins took Walter Murray whom they have yet to sign. But the 49en still had what looks like a most productive draft in addition Toile two cornerback is fullback Tom Rath Man and defensive linemen Larry Rob erts and Charles Haley Are already contributing. Rathman will get his first Start sunday for the injured Roger Craig san Francisco May not be ready to Challenge Chicago for the pfc title. But Walsh has already won two super bowls this decade which is one More than any one else can claim. The other nil team of note so tar this year is the Minnesota Vikings who have three straight victories and have allowed just 37 Points Best in the nil. And Tommy Kramer in danger of being benched two weeks ago has thrown nine touchdown passes including six in Sun Day s 42-7 Victory Over Green Bay. On the other hand the Vikings Victo Ries arc Over Tampa Bay Pittsburgh and Green Bay which proves Little. In the next two months Minnesota plays Chi Cago twice san Francisco Cleveland Washington and the new York giants which will prove More. A lot has been said about the records of the teams we have played safety John Harris said but that in l our concern. Allie can do is go out their every week and beat the teams thai Are on our  there s no question thai Minnesota has improved under Jerry bums its third head coach in three Yean. Harm a nine year Veteran obtained for what will probably turn out to be a seventh round draft Choice has provided some experience for the Vikings Young defensive backs the Best of whom is Strong safety Joey Browner. Defensive Mentor Floyd Peters mean while has switched from a 3-4 defense to a 4-3 and left Doug Martin n promising but inconsistent lineman for seven years Al end where he is beginning to Shine he s also gotten a lot of production out of linebacker Jesse Solomon a nth round draft Choice who has been used in pass Rush ing situations. The biggest find on offence has been Rookie Hassan Jones like Solomon a Flor Ida state product who has caught 12 passes for 246 Yards and three touchdowns in the last two weeks. One nil coach said before last Spring s draft that Jones hands were "10 on a scale of one to 10," but he lasted until the fifth round because of an unmerited minor Hal be was a troublemaker and of questionable Speed. But bums motivational skills Are a plus. Two weeks ago he told Kramer that he was t performing like i playoff Quarter Back and warned thai he would be lifted from games if he did t improve. Since then Kramer s touchdown pass total he increased to 11, tied with Dan Marino and Danny White for Best in the league.
