"It was a black wolf robe I got in Alaska," he said. But how did he know it was real? "I shot it myself," he said. Take a bow, Anson Mount. He's the Playboy magazine football expert who, in August, picked Miami in the AFC and San Francisco in the NFC, with the 49ers winning the Super Bowl.

The Prophet: Said Walt Hazzard on the KMPC radio pre-game show Monday night: "I don't like the Huskies. They used to bring a linebacker out of the stands to knock me on my butt. But they beat us only once. I guarantee you we'll beat 'em tonight." Miami Coach Don Shula can be expected to make some changes next season, but someone suggested his biggest need is for some Knute Rockne records to play at halftime. In six Super Bowls, one with Baltimore, his teams have scored 67 pointshe first half and 14 in the second.

He's been blanked four times in the second half Note: Shula and Bud Grant are tied for most Super Bowl losses at four. From Randy Cross of the 49ers: "Dan Marino is the best thrower. I don't think anyone has ever thrown the ball like this kid does. But I think Joe Montana is the best quarterback. The good Lord made a very special person when he built Joe Montana." From Tony Kornheiser of the Washington Post: There's an old story about great coaches gathered in a room together around a blackboard.

The offensive geniuses diagram something unstoppable only to see the defensive geniuses thwart them with something impenetrable. It goes on for hours until only one coach is left awake, and it is he who says, 'Last guy with the chalk "I'd give my chalk to Bill Walsh. Where They are Now: Former USC guard. Dwight Anderson is playing for the Albuquerque Silvers of the Continental Basketball Associations He's second in the league in scoring with a 26.7 average. The coach is Norm Ellenberger, former coach at New Mexico, where he departed amid a scandal.

Mme. Monique Berlioux, executive director of the International Olympic Committee, asked if she can get' along with the Soviets, told the London Times: "Oh, yes, a little. More anyway than with the Americans. Pretty soon you get exasperated by Americans. They are dry-hearted and think of dollars, dollars, dollars, whereas the Russians, after a time, become kindhearted.

The political system is something different, but I have very good relationships with the Russians. Of ABC's coverage of the L.A. Games, she said: "It was terrible. The rest of the world did not exist at all. And if the Russians had done half in Moscow what the Americans did in L.A., everyone would have screamed.

In Moscow it was pretty fair play. The Americans were not fair play at all." Quotebook: From Herb Caen's column in the San Francisco Chronicle: "Remember Al Davis? He was espied in Mrs. Fields' cookie store on Pine, sinking his angsintp a chocolate chippie with pride and pose.
