DIED. Dennis Wilson, 39, boisterous, handsome drummer, keyboardist and singer of California's enduring rock-'n'-roll band the Beach Boys; of accidental drowning when he dived off a boat slip into 12 ft. of water; in Marina Del Rey, Calif.

"One reason championship teams usually slip," according to Plunkett, "is that the quarterback's tendencies have all been given away. Joe has put two almost perfect years back to back, the hardest thing imaginable." Behind Theismann's 60% completion rate for more than 3,500 yards, the Redskins are having a record scoring year.
