expected between 'the NFL's two best
teams, football fans were exposed to, ma big-
gest blovvout inthe history of the league,
The Washington offense, the most potent
in the NFL during the regular season;;*es
reduced to dribble. Joe (the Throw, an ex -
Argo) Theismann, played possibly the worst
game of his NFL career. Theismann only
managed to complete 1 -of -35 pass attemp-
ts. In the first_halche wasaial..W re 6 -of -18
and down by 18 points. In all fairness, a fired
. up Raider defense contributed t�
Theisrnann'S dismal day.- - —
Steamroller John Riggins, the Redskins
▪ biggest offensive threat on the ground or
otherwise, was nullified by the Raiders'
seven -man front.
Ironically, the Raiders drew up the
nickname "the Slaughterhouse Seven" to
counter "the hogs," a name carried by
Washington's offensive line. Following the
game, Raiders defensive end ,Howie Long
-7-7-:--sa1k--“tveneVer-baci-hog7hef9ret-
tasted good.
The play of Raiders' running back Marcus
Allen left Washington• with a bad taste in
their mouth. Allen, unanimously the game's
most valuable player, ran for a record 191
yards, including two touchdowns. He
generally left the Redskins' defense in .a
state of disarray. Allen's effort shattered
Riggins' record of 166 yards in last year's
contest.
Thestupidest play of the game came with
12 seconds left in the hall. Joe the Throw
planted an attempted screen to Joe
Washington, into the hands of linebacker
for LA's 29th, point. Why would such a pass
by thrown with the team m such terrible
fieldfpusition and with the time remaining
on the clock? That play marked the turning
point of the game and literally dug
Washington into a hole a backhoe couldn't
have got them out of. With a man like Rig -
gins in the backfield, why wasn't
Washington content to run the 12 seconds of
the clock and start fresh in the second half?
The Redskins will have a lot of time to think
about that move. The play was the same us-
ed to beat theRaiders in a reguinr
matcivep-in October -,--but LA -was not-gOing
tobetooledtwice.- -
Credit goes to the Raiders for defying the
Nevada bookies, who had predicted
Washington to win by three points. It is
estimated that some bookmakers lost $75
million on the game.
On a smaller scale, Rod's Report on
Sports was shot down, as I predicted the
'Skins by 10. Hats off to a certain Clinton
horseman who proved my prediction wrong.
You lucky dogll
It' seems good, ofd Ronny Reagan can't
even leave politics and his nuclear missile
missions out of a simple congratulations.
Following the Superbowl game, the presi-
dent talked to Raider Coach Tom Flores and
compared LA running back Marcus Allen to
a nuclear weapon.
"I think you're giving us problems.
Moscow just called and think Marcus Allen
is our secret weapon and they insist we
dismantle him. If you turn him over to us
we'll put him in our silos and we wouldn't
have to build and deploy MX missiles,"
Reagan said.
His sense of humor scares me.

• Things looted bad for the Clinton
mustangs even before the elubleft for their
road trip to Port Elgin on Sunday. Besides
the fact the team was short manpower, they
were also short hockey sticksand a Rh' of
skates. On the ice, the story was similar as
they were shredded 8-1 by the playoff -bound
Port Elgin Bears.
The short-staffed Mustangonly managed
to dress 11 skaters and two goaltenders.
Brad Hymers, Brad Armstrong, Shawn
Rehbek and Jeff LeBeau all played despite
being injured,
The loss was the Mustangs' 18th of the
season and fourth in their last five games.
Clinton is 1x fifth place in the six -team loop,
out of the playoffs.
• "It's the first time this season I've seen
them quit. Without the efforts of Terry Bean
in goal, the score could have easily reached
double figures by the end of the first
period," Head Coach Bob Zimmer said.

seven Port Elgin goals. The final shots on
goal were 53-20 for the Bears.
Clinton ran into problems early in the
game as they couldn't get the 'puck out of
their own end. Mustang players appeared
motionless as the Bears swarmed the Clin-
ton net.
Five minutes into the game, Port Elgin hit

ed a, rebound past Bean. Bean Made the in-
itial save off Daren Misselbrook's shot but
the defensemen were unable to clear the re-
bound.
Clinton continued to have problems con-
trolling the puck and their passes were not (Pe'
on target. Port Elgin hit three goal posts in
the period and came inches away from scor-
ing on numerous other occasions.
The second period was all Port Elgin as
play rarely came out of the Clinton end. For-
ty seconds into the period Richard McLay
scored with assists going to Lush and
Misselbrook.

The win boosted Port Elgin to Within two

Following the game, Port Elgin Coach
Jim Tonibros said his team is ready for the
playoffs.
"We're starting . to do the little things
right. This afternoon's game gave us a
chance to work on our <breakouts,” Tori
added. •
Tombrqs said he had no preference as to
which -team Port Elgin faced in the playoffs.
"Hanover, Kincardine and Wingham are all
tough teams. The key to beating them will
be the use of three well balanced lines," he
said.
• Barons vs. Mustang- -
Clinton's next game is Friday night at
p.m. when they face the vastly -improved
Hanover Barons. The last time the Barons
were in town was on Dec. 18 when the
Mustangs hammered them to the tune of 7-3.
Following Friday night's action, Clinton
has two games remaining. They play host to
