They represented the top single-game effort in the league since Joe Namath pegged the same number for the New York Jets against the Baltimore Colts in 1972. Miami's point total was a Dolphins team record. It was also the most points allowed by the Cards in their 58-year NFL history. THE CARDINAL secondary, missing safety Mike Senslbaugh and cornerback Lee Nelson, fell prey to Griese touchdown passes of 4, 9 and 28 yards to the nimble Moore, a 5-foot-9 receiver, during the opening 22 minutes. Griese also whipped a seven-yard pass to Duriel Harris during the siege.

LOUIS (AP) Bob Grlese's six touchdown passes inspired an awesome Miami attack to a 55-14 rout of the St. Louis Cardinals Thursday, and afterward, rookie A.J. Duhe's remarks enlivened the post-game show.

"Every time the ball was snapped, he was cheap-shotting" the irate Duhe, a Dolphins defensive end, declared of St. Louis offensive guard Conrad Dobler. Dobler was a figure in two late-game brawls. "He was grabbing masks. He was hitting.

He was blocking after the whistle," the incensed Duhe said. "They ought to fine him $8,000. If he's an all-pro, they don't know what the word means." DUHE'S ANGER stemmed from a late skirmish which resulted in a knee injury to defensive end Vern Den Herder and may have cost Miami the services of the lone veteran along the Dolphins three-man front, "We know It's serious, but we don't know how serious," said Miami Coach Don Shula. "If it requires an operation, It's going to hurt us. It's unfortunate, because we played a great gane." "I didn't even play opposite No.

77 (Duhe)," Dobler retorted in the locker room of the losing Cards. "He's a rookie and he doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut. Football's a violent game."

To what extent should personal privacy be respected, even In such relatively frivolous cases as football coaches In moments of sideline anger? Woody Hayes swipe at ABC cameraman Mike Freedman has stirred more reaction than some heavyweight title fights. The reaction is harder to grasp where Hayes Is concerned.

The Ohio State coach Is renowned for punching people when he feels the need. Woody's punitive record makes Freedman wrong In contending the punch will damage Woody's recruiting prowess. The old coach has socked antagonists from Ohio Stadium to the Rose Bowl without losing prospects he covets. In fact, to a football player, Woody's two-fisted approach probably serves as part of his charm. Hayes will continue to drive his pickup hours from Columbus to attend banquets or otherwise accommodate future fullbacks and their families.

In back of the truck is an AstroTurf floor on which he sometimes sleeps. HAYES INTERRUPTED his first European trip, a tour of the Swiss Alps, on phoning his office and learning a regular was In danger of flunking out. No punch or series of them can cancel that kind of dedication. In fact, the assault on Freedman wasn't even Woody's first shot of the day. Relatively nothing has been made of it, but the opening attack occurred before the klckoff.

Michigan's Club" members spread their malze-and-blue banner, attached to poles some 15 yards apart, over the 50-yard line for the Wolverines to run under. Customarily, visiting teams avoid the group. Hayes did no such thing. In near-freezing weather and shirt sleeves he headed his squad from Michigan Stadium's tunnel straight under the banner. A confrontation was inevitable.

Club" students and Ohio State players starting shoving one another. In their midst was the 64-year-old coach, clawing and scratching until assistants steered the squad away from the melee to Ohio's side of the field. ABC'S CAMERAS missed the preliminary while the network focused on Anwar Sadat's touchdown at Ben-Gurlon Airport. Later, ABC made so little of the Hayes-Freedman main event that Its spokesmen seemed tacitly pleading guilty of invading the coach's domain. Television can be marvelously thorough, with replays and other mechanisms bringing viewers to the scene.

In their zeal, though, TV's employes not only Interfere with the action occasionally but abort the main theme to promote their versions of viewers' best Interests. What right have network cameramen to roam at will along sideline territory forbidden to competing photographers or reporters? The answer is money, serving as bribes to universities or pros in exchange for carte blanche, whether coaches or athletes involved like it or not. Freedman then, was under Woody's nose at the cameraman's peril for the sake of a buck. In the sense the coach reacted to what he considered an offense against privacy, he was right in refusing to apologize. THEN CAME the little talk with Dr.

Harold Enarson, Ohio State's president whose Interests are broader than a football Victory. Suddenly Hayes was apologizing, a gesture sadly miscast for a man whose ability to work paternal wisdom and street-gang foolishness makes him unique. Hayes lost the argument and Ihe ball game but has at least two Consolations. He told the network In effect to stay within its province and he emerged from Ann Arbor smelling like sugar. ence East.The defeat snapped a six- game Cards winning streak and left Nat Moore, the Dolphins kept their National Football League playoff hopes alive via the one-sided triumph.

"This is one of the finest football games played by any team with which I've been associated," Shula said. "We did a great Job both moving the ball and on defense. "THEY (CARDINALS) have a good football team, but I was disappointed to see the fighting at the end," Shula added. "As far as I'm concerned, that's not part of the game. We could have done without it." The 32-year-old Griese, an 11-season veteran, came within one scoring pass of equaling the NFL one-game record while engineering a Miami attack which overwhelmed St.

"Maybe Ohio State and Michigan think they can go into a season and go 10-1," fourth-year coach Dick Crum said. "But we can't." And yet, when the last of the fans left AstroTurfed Nlppert Stadium Thursday, that's exactly what the Redskins were: 10-1, a seven-win improvement over last season.

The Redskins staged their eighth come-from-behind victory of the season to defeat the University of Cincinnati, 12-7, and leave the Bearcats at 5-4-2. "You can't say we didn't leave room for improvement," UCs Junior defensive back Mike Clark said. "This year we had a lot of articles about how good we are. They were all in the beginning of the year. Next year I hope we'll be reading that kind of thing again at the end." THE TWO teams provided striking contrast in their 82nd meeting UC, the ballyhooed disappointment; Miami, the startling success.

The Redskins scored nine points In the final quarter, then stopped a desperation Bearcat drive on a Mike Rosenberger interception with 1:04 left in the game to take a 44-32-6 lead in the oldest series west of the Alleghenles. "You could say they adjusted to us and we didn't adjust to them," UC fullback Gus Tucker said. "Or you could say the coaches messed up. Or you could say we (the players) didn't execute. We'll take it as an organizational loss." However the loss affects UCs program, one thing is certain: first-year Bearcat coach Ralph Staub Is getting out of the prediction business.

His bold 11-0 pre-season forecast may have inspired the team in the early going, but it has lately served as a second shadow everyone would like to shake. "THIS YEAR shows us that there's a lot more than talent that goes into winning football games," UCs Clark said. One of those things is energy, something UCs defense lacked in the final quarter after prolonged playing stretches. After freshman quarterback Tony Kapetanls made a 17-yard touchdown run with 12:18 left In the first quarter, UCs offense was reduced from a thundering storm to a whispering wind. The UC defense played 84 snaps, most of them well, but was hurt by fourth-quarter passes from Miami quarterback Larry Fortner to tight end Paul Warth.

"We needed a little help from the offense," bruised middle guard Howie Kurnlck said. "In the fourth quarter we were tired, that's when we needed them most." But the Bearcats picked up a net total of 38 yards In the final period, 19 of them on a pass from Kapetanls to Mike Cusumano which came one play before Rosenberger's fatal Interception.

(AP) Walter Payton scored two touchdowns, one on a 75-yard pass from Bob Avelllni, as the Chicago Bears gobbled up the Detroit Lions, 31-14, In a nationally-televised National Football League game Thursday. Payton, who rushed for 137 yards and had 107 yards in receptions, broke the game open with his 75-yard scoring catch in a 17-point. Chicago third quarter. Payton wrapped up the victory with an 8-yard run in the final two minutes. Payton, who last week set an NFL rushing record with 275 yards against Minnesota, was held to Just 20 yards in the first half.

But his running and receiving helping spark the Bears to the second half comeback and he wound up with 107 yards receiving and 129 yards on the ground. Bob Avellini's first touchdown pass was a 42-yarder to wide receiver Bo Rather midway through the third quarter. It was Just three minutes later that Payton scored, other Lions' touchdown cameln the second quarter on a 16-yard pass from Greg Landry to David Hill. Avelllni couldn't solve the ball-hawking Lions' secondary in the first half but it was a different story in the second. Rather's scoring catch climaxed a six-play, 57-yard drive.

He caught the ball in the end zone four yards behind cornerback Lem Barney who had Intercepted an Avelllni pass to Rather in the first quarter and recovered a Payton fumble In the second. The victory was the first by the Bears against Detroit in the Lions' home stadium since 1971. It raised their season record to 6-5, pulling them within a half game of first-place Minnesota in the National Conference Central Division.

Later in the period, Bob Thomas kicked a 29-yard field goal.

In the fourth period, Avelllni scored on his 1-yard touchdown plunge after Mike Hartenstine recovered a Rick Kane fumble with six minutes left. Payton's only mistake was a fumble In the final period which Detroit linebacker Ed O'Neil returned 52 yards for a touchdown. The "I SAW Gus (Tucker) open and he was right along that guy (Rosenberger). When I let the ball go, he broke off his block and picked It off," Kapetanls said. The Bearcats had reached the Miami 48 on Cusumano's catch.

It was UCs deepest penetration of the quarter. Miami had moved the ball well most of the game before the Redskins were able to take the lead. A 32-yard field goal by Tom Kraus with 55 seconds left In the first half was Miami's only score, though. Then, with stunning quickness, Fortner found Warth three times on Miami's first possession of the fourth quarter-for 35 yards, 17 yards and a 10-yard touchdown toss on second and two. Kraus' point-after try was no good, but the freshman kicker later added a 43-yard field goal for the Redskins' final points.

"I FELT our defense played well enough to win," UCs Staub said. "Offensively, we had enough people open, but we Just couldn't make connections." Kapetanls completed only five of 14 attempts and his replacement, John Butz, was 0-for-four. Staub has said his first priority In recruiting will be a "pure passer." "The pass was our culprit Staub said. The Bearcats didn't have much more success stopping the pass than completing It. Fortner completed 17 of 31 passes for 196 yards, and set a school record for most completions In a season (109).

"I thought going in that we had to throw against them," Crum said. And for all of those who wanted Crum fired after Miami's dismal 1976 campaign, that's as close as he came to "I told youo."

Trailing, 5-1, after two periods, the Stingers appeared to get a lift when Pat Stapleton scored while the Stingers were two men short to make it 5-2. But the lift was shortlived as the Bulls went on to rack up seven goals in the third period and hand the Stingers the worst beating In their history.

The Bulls had their goons out for the opening faceoff and It took Just 24 seconds for a full-scale brawl to erupt, started when Robbie Ftorek took former Stinger Serge Beaudoln Into the boards and Beaudoln took a swipe at Ftorek on the rebound.
