IKEISER I CHEVROLET 525 ASK ABOUT OUR Dallas bums crippled Birds DALLAS (AP) Dallas running back Preston Pearson bolted five yards for a touchdown and dashed for more than 100 yards with Roger screen passes Sunday in the 27-17 National Football League victory over the crippled Philadelphia Eagles. Dallas now is 7-3 and only a game behind St. Louis in the torrid National Conference East race. Philadelphia is 2-8. Pearson, the only player on the Dallas squad who drafted by the team, raced five yards for a touchdown to break a 3-3 tie in the second period, and Dallas slowly pulled away from the Eagles.

Pearson caught four screen passes for 109 yards against a patchwork Eagle secondary which saw safeties Randy Logan and Bill Bradley and cornerback John Outlaw limp to the sidelines with injuries. Toni Fritsch kicked a 26-vard field goal to give Dallas a 3-0 first period lead, but the Horst Muhlmann tied it with a 23-yarder early in the second period. Dallas retaliated with a 66yard drive climaxed by touchdown run, but the excellent showing by the former Pittsburgh Steeler had only begun. Pearson glided 4.9 yards with a screen pass to set up one- yard touchdown run for a 17-3 halftime lead. Eagle Coach Mike McCormack yanked quarterback Roman Gabriel midway in the second half in favor of Mike 1 a who whipped the team on touchdown drives climaxed by James 13-yard run and Po one-yard dash.
