I j£GE^PUUNDEAIg£JRBIDAY^ Awards Not Enough For MIKE LAMB JOHNSBURG -- A number of sports celebrities, as in the past, were present at the annual Red Cloud Golf outing at Chapel Hill Country Club. Present Bear players, past Bear players, Black Hawk players and even Johnny Kerr, former Bull center were there. But one particular sports celebrity was getting more at­ tention than the rest. His name is James Robert McMahon. Any why not? He not only played the quar­ terback position for the Bears, but he also played it like no other quarterback has for the Bears in the past few seasons. In his rookie year with the Bears during the strike shortened season. McMahon completed 120 passes in 210 attempts for a 57.1 percent and 1501 total yards. He threw for nine touchdowns and only gave up seven interceptions. His 80.1 passing rating was ninth in the NFL and eighth best in Bear history. It all added up to distinguished awards such as UPI NFC Rookie of the Year, --the Brian Piccolo Award and Football Digest All- Rookie. Besides all the fine statistics, he has all the flair and good looks as famous quarterbacks always seem to carry with them. Just ask the several McHenry County Queens who were also part of the festivities. McMahon had to take a break from practicing his putting so the 1 queens could take turns taking pictures of themselves standing next to him. But all those personal ac­ complishments and public at­ tention doesn't overcome one particular sour aspect of 1962, according to McMahon. A 3-6 season does not sit well with the Bear first round pick in 1962. "I would like to see a better record. Last season was a big disappointment," said McMahon, as he watched parachutists float down to kick off the the golf outing. "We played better than our record indicated. I'm hopeful we will do better this season." McMahon quarterbacked Brigham Young collegiately. He was an all-American his senior year and set 71 NCAA Division I passing records and total of­ fensive records. He broke Danny White's NCAA career passing mark. He is a quarterback used to winning and takes losses as hard as any NFL player. He just couldn't put the finger on what was the main cause for the Bear poor showing last season. "It was a lack of. . . well, I really don't know. When we were close, we just didn't get the big play when we needed to. We had a lot of penalties." All indications point towards McMahon turning into one of the premier NFL quarterbacks. That is if he stays in the NFL. A new football leauge (USFL), and the Canadian football league gives established football players a real option and temptation. "We played better than our record indicated. I'm hopeful we will do better this season. He openly suggests he will leave the door open for other options. "I'tn here till my con­ tract is up. I hope things work out. I would; like to stay. I like Chicago. "w •% For now, the dears is his priority and he is looking forward to the upcoming season. The past collegiate draft has him especially excited, mostly because of one particular draft pick. The first round pick of of­ fensive lineman Jim Covert. Even the prospect of throwing to the speeding Willie Gault, another first rounder, doesn't interest him as much as Covert. Covert is big^(6-4, 271 pounds) and he only allowed three sacks from his opposing players in three years. McMahon likes the idea of big people protecting him. "If you don't have any lineman, it doesn't make any difference," said McMahon on why he likes Covert more than Gault. "We need to sign the people we drafted. We need those people." Gault is a wide receiver from the University of Tennessee. He was the first wide receiver picked in the draft and a 1960 Olympic sprinter. McMahon figures the NFC Central division race will be tough. But he likes the draft picks and he likes what first-year coach Mike Ditka is doing with the team. So maybe McMahon and company will put it together in 1983. as? i sBBmm t • % mm 4*4^* Jim McMahon of the Chicago Bears makes Us putt during the Red Cloud Goif outing at Chapel Hill Country Club.
