Kapp's other scoring passes were a 12-yarder to John Beasley and a 39-yarder to Henderson. Kapp praised the Minnesota defense, which restricted St. Louis to 53 yards in the second half as the Vikings won their fourth straight.

"We feel our offense is good when we have to put the ball in the end zone," the darkhaired quarterback said, "but we have a great defense." The Cardinals took the opening kick-off 63 yards and scored on a 26-yard field goal by Jim Bakken. But after that they sputtered. Their touchdown came in the second point and reeled off consecutive birdies on the 15th and 16th. He did not have a bogey in his round. Beard dropped out of contention when he put his tee shot out of bounds on the 12th.

The Louisville golfer fell to third with a bogey on the 17th, which Hill birdied, but rallied on the closing hole, a par five, with a bird while Hill bogeyed. Arnold Palmer, assaying a comeback after a two-month absence that was forced by an arthritic right hip, closed with a disappointing 73 for 285, far back in the field. He was tied at that figure with U.S. Open champ Orville Moody, 71, Lee Tre-vino, 73, and Doug Sanders, who led the first two rounds but faded with a final 76.

LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP) Diet-conscious Jack Nicklaus, 15 pounds lighter but still casting a giant shadow, stormed out to a quick lead, coasted home with a brilliant 65 and won the $100,000 Sahara Invitational Golf Tournament yesterday.

The six-under-par round on the Sahara-Nevada Country Club course gave the golden-haired Nicklaus a 72-hole score of 272 and an easy triumph. It was the first victory for Nicklaus, who has shed 15 pounds in the last three weeks and is now a solid 195, since the San Diego Open last winter. The victory was the 30th of Nicklaus' career and marked the fourth time he has won this particular tournament. Nicklaus scored by four storkes over Beard, the third-round leader and the No. 1 money winner for the season, who finished with a 70 for 276.

Dave Hill finished with a 69 for 277 and was tied for third with Dale Douglass, who had a sparkling 66. Grier Jones, with a 68, and British Open champ Tony Jacklin followed at 278. Nicklaus, who said he has gone on a diet because he had been getting tired in the late stages of recent tournaments, tired not at all in this one. The Golden Bear, in second place going into the round, caught Beard with a birdie on the opening hole, a 545-yard, par five, and moved in front to stay with consecutive birdies on the fifth and sixth. He took a deuce on the eighth and used only 10 putts on the first eight holes.

He made the turn in 32, four under par, had a two-stroke lead at that WASHINGTON (AP) Rickie Harris returned a punt 86 yards for a touchdown, then the Washington defense stopped New York for three downs on the three yesterday as the Redskins took quarter on an 18-yard run by tackle Bob a come-from-behind 20-14 victory in a Na- Rowe with an intercepted Kapp pass, tional Football League game. Associated Press OAKLAND RAIDER quarterback Daryle Lamonica, the ex-Notre Dame star, fails to shake loose from Buffalo defender Ron McDole. Lamonica, however, pitched six touchdown passes in the first half to guide the Raiders to a 50-2 1 romp over the Bills. Raider Star Blanked in 2nd Half Johnson Adds Praise Kapp, whose three touchdown passes during a sweltering afternoon hiked his season's total to 11, he experienced a "couple of bad moments." He described the errant pass picked off by 'Rowe as "my worst moment of the year." "I was trying to throw it to Dave Os-burn. He was about the third alternate receiver.

It was just a case of not getting the ball over Rowe's head." In St. Louis dressing room, Johnson concurred with Kapp in singling out Minnesota's defense. "They played four deep backs and three linebackers, the best type of coverage that can be played against us," said Johnson, who completed only 12 of 28 passes for 96 yards. Of the Vikings' front four, Johnson declared, "They keep that constant pressure on you. As long as it's close, or if they get slightly ahead, they just get tougher and tougher and tougher." Lamonica 6 TD Passes Jolt Bills After the Harris punt return, quarterback Frank Tarkenton moved the giants from their own 32 to the Redskins' nine in nine plays.

Running back Joe Morrison took the ball to the three. "I could see the goal line behind me," said Fischer, "and all I knew was that I had to get in front of him "When I was tackled," said Tarkenton, "I threw the ball back, hoping one of our guys would pick up the fumble and run with it for a touchdown." Officials, ruled, however, that the play was dead before Tarkenton lateraled. The Redskins' defense dug in to stop John Fuqua for no gain on a plunge up the middle. On third down, a scrambling Tarkenton overthrew a heavily guarded Freeman White in the end zone. Tarkenton's receivers were covered on fourth down, so the New York quarterback ran the ball but was stopped by Washington cornerback Pat Fischer, stopping the drive with 3:52 left in the game.

The Redskins, now 3-1-1, had to come from behind to score three touchdowns in the second half to defeat the Giants (3-2). The Giants built up a 14-0 lead with an 11-yard run by Morrison and a two-yard run by Randy Minniear before Washington's Charley Harraway scored on a one-yard plunge with 2:53 left in the third quarter. Harraway tied the score 14-14 on a 15-tyard run around his own left end with -13-34 left in the game. Miss Scoring Chances The Giants were able to penetrate -Washington territory only once in the first half but converted the intrusion into the only score of the first two quarters. Midway through the second quarter, Washington's rookie running back Larry Brown fumbled going through the line and it was recovered by New York's Fred Dryer on the Redskins' 41.

Six plays later, Morrison blew through the center of the Redskins line for the score with 7:15 left in the half. Statistics caught by Marlin Briscoe in the fourth quarter. The game drew 54,418 fans, the largest crowd in Oakland Coliseum history. Lamonica nearly got his seventh touchdown on the last play of the second quarter after linebacker Chip Oliver recovered a fumble by Harris at the Buffalo 43. Lamonica hit rookie receiver Drew Buie with a 37-yard pass, but Buie stepped out of bounds at the six as the gun sounded.

The Raiders, who lead the AFL's Western Division, now have a 5-0-1 seven touchdown passes was ended on an interception by Buffalo linebacker Paul Guydry. Blanda came in soon after. The Bills were behind 35-0 before they got on the scoreboard on a 39-yard scoring pass from substitute quarterback Jim Harris to Haven Moses late in the second quarter. Starting quarterback Jack Kemp, who was replaced by Harris but came in again when the rookie signal-caller had to be helped off the field late in the third quarter, threw two touchdown passes late in the game. The first one went to rookie Bill Enyart and covered 30 yards and the second was a 50-yarder the game with 21 completions in 36 attempts for 313 yards and one interception.

Lamonica went to work early and, with the help of. four Buffalo fumbles and an intercepted pass, kept it up for the entire first half. The Oakland quarterback threw scoring passes of 10 and one yards to Pete Banaszak, touchdown throws of 16 and 23 yards to Fred Biletnikoff, a 53-yard bomb to Billy Cannon and 13-yarder to Warren Wells. But in the third quarter the Raiders were held to two field goals by Blanda and Lamonica's bid for a record-tying OAKLAND (AP) Daryle Lamonica threw six touchdown passes in the first half but Buffalo rose up in the second half to stop his bid for a pro football record while Oakland stomped the Bills 50-21 yesterday in a nationally televised game. Lamonica's six scoring tosses left him one short of the American Football League record of seven set by his teammate George Blanda in 1961 when he was with the Houston Oilers.

The National Football League record is also seven, set by four quarterbacks, mostly recently Joe Kapp of the Minnesota Vikings this year.

Statistics Honesty. our policy KANSAS CITY (AP) Kansas City scored on three lightning strikes in the first half, then fended off Miami's rally efforts in the second half to claim a 17-10 American Football League victory over the winless Dolphins yesterday.

Bob Griese, the Miami quarterback publicly criticized last week by coach George Wilson, nearly rallied the Dolphins to their first triumph following four losses and a tie. Griese moved Miami on a 73-yard touchdown drive midway through the fourth quarter to trim the Chiefs' lead to seven points.

The Dolphins had one last chance after Nick Buoniconti intercepted a pass from Mike Livingston with the Chiefs threatening at the Miami 18 with 3:12 remaining. The Chiefs (5-1) held, however, after getting the ball back on Emmitt Thomas' interception with 20 seconds left. Lateral Brings Score Kansas City's first touchdown came on a spectacular 93-yard pass-lateral play, the longest play in Chiefs' history.

With the Chiefs pinned down at their seven on a punt and penalty, Livingston hit Otis Taylor with a pass behind the Miami secondary. Taylor ran out of gas in his race for the goal and was caught from behind by Jim Warren. While going down, Taylor lateraled to Robert Holmes, who had an open field the final 14 yards to score. With Livingston riddling the Dolphin defense for three quick completions for 49 yards, the Chiefs swept 65 yards in five plays early in the second quarter. Mike Garrett swung out of the arms of Dick Anderson, who appeared to have him trapped to score on a nine-yard run.

Thomas intercepted a pass from Griese seconds before halftime, and the Chiefs turned that play into a 44-yard field goal by Jan Stenerud as time ran out. Livingston completed 17 of 34 passes for 298 yards, while Griese hit 21 of 35 for 153 yards. $119 FULL PRICE Hadl Saves San Diego's Win Streak Falcons Conquer 49ers by 21-7 For 1st Sweep INCLUDESl Complete Factory Rebuilt transmission Completely installed New first grade fluid Associated Press RANDY MINNIEAR of the New York Giants is upended just short of the goal line in the third quarter against the Washington Redskins.

Weatherford, from Tennessee, also recovered another fumble and intercepted a John Brodie pass as the Falcons defeated a team twice in a row for the first time in their 47-game National Football League history. The Falcons, now 2-3, whipped San Francisco, 04-1, earlier this season 24-12. After Jim Butler smashed four yards to give Atlanta a 7-0 lead, Weatherford picked up a fumble by the 49ers' Clifton McNeil after he had caught a 30-yard pass and the Falcons' defensive back ran down the sidelines 74 yards for the TD. Most of the 49ers thought the play had been whistled dead. Falcon cornerback John Mallory prevented a second-quarter San Francisco score by recovering Ken Willard's fumble on the Atlanta four.

Lemmerman Hits TD Strike But three plays later 49er linebacker Dave Wilcox shook quarterback Randy Johnson loose from the ball. Roland Lakes recovered the fumble and rolled two yards into the end zone for San Francisco's only score of the day. Thereafter it was a defensive battle, until 4:09 to go in the final quarter when rookie quarterback Bruce Lemmerman activated only last week threw 20 yards to Gail Cogdill for a touchdown.

(AP) Veteran John Hadl scored on a brilliant short run in the fourth period as the San Diego Chargers capitalized on a pass interception and edged the winless Boston Patriots 13-10 yesterday for a fourth straight American Football League victory. Held to a pair of field goals by Dennis Partee for three periods, the high-powered Chargers got the breaks they needed when Jim Hill intercepted Mike Taliaferro's pass and returned it 21 yards to the Boston 20 early in the final period. Russ Smith skitted for five yards and Hadl passed to Lance Alworth for nine yards and a first down at the six. Hadl then faked a pass to his right, spun through the middle and romped untouched for the decisive score. "We're not scoring enough to be a real good team," complained Charger coach Sid Gilliam.

"I guess we're leading the league in just about every offensive department except points." Patriots Score Early After Hadl's touchdown, Boston picked up three points on a 32-yard field goal by Gino Cappelletti. The Patriots drove to a first down at the San Diego 35 with one minute remaining, but Bob Howard stopped the threat by intercepting Taliaferro's pass at the 15. The Patriots shocked the Chargers by taking the opening kickoff and moving 72 yards in nine plays for touchdown. Taliaferro capped the march' by passing seven yards to rookie Carl Garrett for the score. Op, 58 95 165 140 Op.
