European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - September 21, 1989, Darmstadt, Hesse Thursday september 21, 1989 the stars and stripes Page 21 a my by a Mhz a i pc a a " a a of s a Fie if nothing is on the line Why have a tiebreaker Rule if it in t going to be used in All circumstances the Stuttgart Patch game ended in a 14-14 dead lock last saturday. The two teams played the Mcaa tiebreaker Dodds Germany authorizes and Stuttgart prevailed 20-14. However in the final reckoning the stallions did t prevail and the tiebreaker should t have been played because nothing really was on the line. The score reverts Back to the original end of Rogu lation play numbers because Dodds Germany also has a stipulation that the tiebreaker will not be utilized in non conference games or on the Junior varsity level. Why Dodds Germany athletic coordinator Tom Leb Lanc explained that the coaches had voted that Way several years ago the feeling being that it is better to have a tic on the record instead of a loss especially since no conference standings or playoff possibilities would be affected. That reasoning also covered playoff games for a couple of years after Post season games were authorized. But eventually someone came to his senses and determined that playing overtime games that meant nothing was illogical and certainly was no Way to determine a big schools or Small schools Cham Pion. That same philosophy should apply to All regular season deadlocks conference or otherwise. The . And Italy teams make their debuts saturday finally putting All Dodds football leagues in action. The . Has a unique Agenda. Each of its six teams is scheduled to play a British club team that is into american style football and competes under High school federation guidelines in the British youth american football association. Two of those teams played a preliminary to the american bowl game Between the Browns and eagles last month at Wembley stadium. The Stuttgart Patch deadlock reduced my already bad prognostication to 11-6-1 last week leaving the season record at 11 -7-1, a disastrous .611 Mark. The Only Way to go is up.

I must admit to being Way. Way out there somewhere when it came to picking the . Games. There were several outstanding performances turned in on the Gridiron last week and picking the first 1989 players of the week turned out to be a difficult task. On offence the accolades go to Bam Borg s Russell Yarborugh and on defense the Edge goes to Wurzburg s Mike Mclindon. Yarborough chalked up 296 Yards Rushing and scored four touchdowns in leading the Barons to a 40-6 Conquest of Ansbach. Mclindon was credited with 12 Solo tackles and three assists in the wolves hard earned 6-0 Triumph Over Nurnberg. Oiler players who sparkled last week on offence included wies Baden s Terrance John son who ran for 200 Yards and two ads and Ansbach s Willie Luke who had a 3-td. 190 Yaril game. Other defensive luminaries included Fulda s Curtis c Laxton with 10 solos and four assists and Stuttgart s Jonathon Mike Mclindon Hill eight solos four assists and three Fumble recoveries. The game Between kaisers Lauvern and Owci Bruckn was played Friday under the lights an coach Steve Rabin of the red raiders reported that a town s first Ever night game was a huge Success. It was like football Back in the states playing the game on a Friday night Rabine said we had around a thousand people there and everyone seemed to be enjoying the evening. I d like to play the rest of my Home games at night. It creates a great football atmosphere. Rabin apparently was alone in his opinion How Ever since none of the other coaches would agree to play at night. While it was s nighttime debut football under the arcs is not novel to Dodds. Naples has played night games for years at Carney Park. Ulm has staged a game or two at night at its Wiley Barracks Field Over the years and before Ulm became a High school when its students attended Augsburg High school the apaches used to play one game a year at night there. Coaches in All sports did a super Job in getting the results of their events to the stars and stripes last saturday. Every game and meet was reported onetime and there were very few problems. Let s continue that throughout the school year. And several coaches already have submitted Pic lures of their More prominent athletes for possible use As the season progresses. It would be great if the other conches would do the same. The stirs and sir Lett Only what if can beat unchallenged Tyson from wire report site fees for Mike Tyson s title de lenses have diminished by millions since the Las vegas Hilton paid $7 million for his bout with Frank Bruno in february because of the Scarcity of credible opposition for the heavyweight Champion. Because of that there has been some recent speculation about How Tyson would have fared against past heavy weight champions. For instance in the november Issue of boxing illustrated Bert sugar the mag Azine s editor and publisher has conjured up bouts Matching Tyson against previous champions with both fighting at identical weights. Under that format sugar sees Tyson stopping Max Baer in 2 rounds and Ezzard Charles in 8 scoring technical knockouts Over Rocky Marciano in 10 rounds and Joe Frazier in 5 losing to Muhammad Ali and Gene Tunney by decision and being knocked out by Jack dumps by in 3, Jack Johnson in ii Sonny Liston in 4 and Joe Louis in 8. The article prompted a request to some veterans of the fight world Ray Arcol the Trainer Barney Nagler a boxing writer and Harry Markson a former president of Madison Square Garden boxing to imag Ine Tyson m matches against some past champions but at weights the boxers fought at in their primes. The opinions varied with 9nly Louis emerging As a unanimous Choice to beat boxing notes Gerry Cooney Tyson. I d never pick against Joe Louis said Arcol. He could Box punch he could do everything. And Tyson has proved himself As yet even though his record is Tyson almost certainly would Knock Down Louis said Nagler and Louis almost certainly would get up and gel Tyson in a Corner. Lewis had a better left. On the basis of reach he d be Able to keep Tyson off and Knock him out in 8,9, 10 most of All Louis had a very effective Jab said Markson. No one yet has used the Jab against Tyson. Louis had tremendously fast hands. He d have set Tyson up with the Jab. I Sec Louis out pointing Irish connection Gerry Cooney and Gil Clancy a pair of fighting irishmen will be sharing the Green when Cooney returns to the ring against for Mer heavyweight Champion George Foreman on Jan. 15. Clancy the former Trainer of Foreman As Well As the Trainer manager of five time Champion Emile Griffith agreed monday to terms for a one fight Deal Asco Oncy s Trainer. Cooney who has not fought since being stopped by Michae Spinks in five rounds june is 1987, will be paid $ i million plus a percentage of closed circuit and pay per View to receipts. It is believed Clancy will be paid a Flat fee plus a sliding percentage based on the Success of the promotion. Clancy 67, has not trained a fighter since 1978, when he became matchmaker and director of boxing at Madison Square Garden. He now works As a Colo commentator for lbs to and the mag Cable network but he said neither commitment would preclude him from train ing Cooney.

He s really in great shape physically better than i be Ever seen him said Clancy who also observed Cooney at his daughter s wed Ding two weeks ago. He does t touch a drink or anything anymore.
