10—The Daily Collegian Tuesday, July 31, 1984 Webster both durable, dominating By ALAN ROBINSON AP Sports Writer LATROBE (AP) He may not have been the center of attention, but Mike Webster played a pivotal role in the Pittsburgh Steelers' four Super Bowl championships. Offensive linemen like Webster don't enjoy the notorie ty of glamour positions like quarterback, running back and receiver, where the Steelers had such well-known players as Terry Bradshaw, Rocky Bleier and Lynn . Swann. But the 6-1 1 / 2 , 250-pound Webster has been widely regarded as the best player in the National Football League at his position, center. He has been named to the Pro Bowl the last six seasons five of them as a starter and has been selected almost annually to All-Pro teams. He has been both durable he's played in 162 consec utive games and dominating. One of pro football's strongest players, Webster is one of just six remaining Steelers who played on all four Super Bowl title teams. That's why, at age 32, these are changing times for Mike Webster. He may be at the peak of his game, but the Steelers aren't. Once regarded almost annually as the Super Bowl favorite, the Steelers now find themselves fighting just for a playoff berth every season. "The players here had such great chemistry," said Webster, whose consecutive game string is the third longest in the NFL. "It takes a while to develop that with another group of players. And the NFL has gotten better since I've been playing. There are so many great teams now it gets tougher and tougher every year. It's going to be very difficult for a team to go to four Super Bowls in six years like we did." A t'ormer All-Big 10 center at Wisconsin, Webster is a farm boy from Tomahawk, Wis., who came to the NFL in what undoubtedly was the greatest draft class in league iTrIFINTII I I;'' t• 11 ).- 4 ••• I Performances begin and Tuesday thru Sa Box Office open dail Call (814) 865-1884 137 Arts Building University Park, PA 16802 Professional Actors Gordon Weiss and The Playhouse Catherine Dupuis are seen in the Pennsylvania Festival Theatre musicaI—TINTYPES history the Steelers' Class of 1974. In the first five rounds of that draft, the Steelers managed to select four future All-Pro players and poten tial Hall of Fame candidates: Lynn Swann, linebacker Jack Lambert, wide receiver John Stallworth and Webster. Webster said he and his fellow '74 draftees had no idea they would be as successful as they were, winning Super Bowls in their first two seasons in the NFL. "A draft like that doesn't happen every year, but it did," Webster said. "We had some great coaches and they got some great players. But you just can't predict that something like that will happen, especially in football moreso than any other sport. So many things can happen. "But I'm not to the point yet where I spend my time reflecting on those things. I don't have the time. The, chemistry and attitude of those teams was so great. It'g been written and said so many times, but the Steelers would do whatever it takes and this team did that for six years. But the more you do that, win like that, the tougher it is to get back." Many of the faces that he played with for years are now gone from football, including Bradshaw. For nearly a decade, almost every Steelers' offensive play started with two players handling the ball: Webster and Bradshaw. Now, Webster is working with two other quarterbacks, Mark Malone and David Woodley. "There's no difference, none at all," Webster said. "The best way I can help the team is to do my job, no matter who the quarterback is. Terry was Terry a great football player and a great person. He'll always be successful. "But I wouldn't say there's that much difference in playing now as before, when we were in the Super Bowls. There are still challenges. This can be an exciting team. "I've never been satisfied with what I've done, you can't be. There's always the possibility you can do it better."

"I was so fat I needed two mir rors," Lundquist quipped. "I like fast cars and motorcycles and I do some crazy stuff," said the Southern Methodist University se nior who broke John Moffet's world record Sunday with a 101.65 clock ing. • Lundquist's quest for speed led him to the sport of water skiing last October and he damaged his left shoulder. "I wasn't paying attention like an idiot," Lundquist said. "I love all the dangerous things I'm not supposed to do." During recuperation, his weight soared to 205 pounds, good for a heavyweight boxer but not opti mum poundage for a swimmer. While Lundquist was apparently eating himself out of a chance for an Olympic gold medal, John Mof fet was improving fast. "I decided 'the blubber had to go," said Lundquist, who trimmed down to 180 on a diet of iced tea and one salad a day. 7177.77777777 0 77r77 Steve Lundquist of Jonesboro, Ga., swims his way to a gold medal In the 100. meter breaststroke In world•record time of 1:01.85 Sunday at the USC Swim Stadium.
