NBA Will Add Two Clubs Next Season 10-Nan' Plays Help Cowboys From Post-Dispat'-b TVlre Services PITTSBURGH, Nov. 21 Football is supposed to be an 11-man game, but the Pittsburgh Steelers twice had only 10 men on the field yesterday against the Dallas Cowboys. The Steeler manpower shortages were unintentional, but they were costly as the Cowboys posted a 20-7 victory to move into a tie with the St. Louis Cardinals for first place in the National Football League's eastern division.

2 Tide lost to Duke, 29-26, and to Texas, 27-7, in Sugar Bowl battles. In UCLA's triumph over Southern Cal, quarterback Norm Dow stood out as a replacement for injured Gary Beban. Dow, who had played only one full game in three years, led a 42-yard scoring drive and tallied from the 5-yard line on rollout. After the game, Dow sat in the locker room, cradling the game ball awarded by teammates. "It was very strange," he said.

"I can't explain it. At the start of the week, I felt tremendously nervous. It was the longest week of my life. "Then, at the start of the game I was all right all of a sudden. I felt better than I had any time.

I guess I just decided when it came down to game time that I had worried enough all week." Of Dow's day, USC coach John McKay said: "I'd have to say he's the best quarterback we've faced this year at least he's the only one who made us look that bad. He certainly ran exceptionally well against us." After coach Doug Weaver, who has resigned, bowed out at Kansas State with a 21-6 loss to Oklahoma State, he said, "When came here in 1960, I had a wife, two kids, a guitar, a camera, a shotgun and a basset hound. The only thing that's different is that now I have The first 19-man situation came in the final seconds of the first quarter when Frank Lambert was preparing to punt for the Steelers. Steeler coach Bill Austin said Lambert was aware there were only 10 men cn the field and yelled for a time-out, but no one heard him. Jim (Cannonball) Butler was rushed onto the field, but before he was in position the ball was snapped from center and hit him on the legs.

Butler grabbed the ball and lost five yards to the Pittsburgh 30. Dallas quarterback Don Meredith then moved the Cowboys to a touchdown. He scored on a three-yard run around right end when the Steelers again had only 10 players on the field. "It was a mix-up in signals," said Austin. "We had just put in a new goal-line stand play and our players weren't used to it and we ended up one man short." A fumble by Butler set up a Dallas field goal in the third quarter and the Cowboys iced the game on a 38-yard pass from Meredith to Bob Hayes in the final period.

The virtnrv pave Dallas a 7-2-1 record, the same mark owned by the Cardinals, who had Jhe week off. The tleve- land Browns whipped the Washington Redskins, 14-3, for a 7-3 record, and set up a showdown with the Cowboys in Dallas on Thanksgiving evening. Leroy Kelly ran 56 yards for one Cleveland TD and Frank Ryan passed five ysrds to Ernie Green for the other. The Baltimore Colts have long boasted that they own the best No. 2 quarterback in pro foot- ball.

And for most of yester- day nobody would have argued with them. The Colt quarter- back on the bench was Johnny Unitas. The veteran Unitas was pulled by coach Don Shula after the fired-up Detroit Lions intercepted five Unitas passes en route to a 20-14 upset that knocked the Colts out of a tie for first place in the western division. Shula benched Unitas in favor of Gary Cuozzo, the player the Colts claim is football's best bench-riding quarterback. Cuozzo led the Colts to two final-period touchdowns after Detroit had taken a 17-0 lead.

But the Lions choked off the Colts the rest of the way and Baltimore fell to second in the west behind Green Bay.

Georgia previously had been picked for the Cotton Bowl where the Bulldogs' opponent will be either Southern Methodist or Arkansas.

Missouri University was listed today as one of 12 prospects for the Sun Bowl game Dec. 24 at El Paso, Tex.

Arkansas's chances for a Cotton Bowl bid and another Southwest Conference title were jolted Saturday when upstart Texas Tech beat the Razor-backs, 21-16. SMU, a 24-22 victor over Baylor, can clinch both the bowl bid and the championship with a victory over TCU. Georgia Tech has a 9-0 season record and Florida has lost only to Georgia, 27-10. The Rambling Wreck still must face Georgia and the Gators have a date with Miami. Syracuse lost its first two games this season, to Baylor and UCLA, then reeled off eight victories.

Randy Johnson threw three touchdown passes and ran for one as the Atlanta Falcons recorded their first NFL triumph, 27-16 over the New York Giants. "We've been predicting every week that we'd win one and it finally came true," Falcon coach Norb Hecker said. "We became a team against Balti- more last week and after that game, we really wanted to win this one." The Falcons led the Colts at the half last week before losing, 19-7. The victory didn't pull Atlanta out of last place in the eastern division. The Falcons are 1-9 and New York is 1-8-1.

The San Francisco 49ers nearly ran Philadelphia off the field in the first half, but then gave the game away to the Eagles, 35-34, on second-half fumbles and pass interceptions. John Brodie was nearly unbeatable in directing the 49ers to a 20-7 halftime lead, but he turned out to be the goat.

Imagine Taylor on one side and Alworth on the other-you can choose between them," Holovak said after his Patriots But yesterday Gilmer was De troit's darling after the Lions upset the Baltimore Colts, 20-14, and knocked the Colts out of a tie for the lead in the National Football League's western division. The Lions presented Gilmer the game ball after the coach had directed them to their second victory and a tie in the last three games. Even Lion captain Alex Kar-ras, who has had his differences with Gilmer, was on the coach's side.

What can you say? The bays really earned it. They worked hard. I'll have to remember what I wore," Hecker said. Asked about next week's game with the Chicago Bears, Hecker said, "We're going to win it." Ernie Wheelwright, who was disappointed when the Giants let him go to Atlanta in the expansion draft last winter, scored two Falcon touchdowns on passes from Randy Johnson. "There were other backs that should have gone before me.

wheelwright said in the Atlanta dressing room. "Yeah, I was kind of anticipating this game all year. I really wanted to show the Giants." Dallas tackle Bob Lilly, the defensive hero in the Cowboys' 20-7 victory over Pittsburgh, said, "We knew we had to win that game." With that in mind, Lilly led the charge on Pittsburgh quarterback Ron Smith. Smith was caught 12 times when trying to pass. Lilly nailed him four times for losses and one time rushed so fiercely that the Steeler quarterback was called for intentionally grounding the ball.

"Lilly's game was just out of this world," said Dallas coach Tom Landry. Even in a routine matter like a conversion kick, "there are a million and one things that can go wrong," says Green Bay coach vince Lombardi Nobody was certain what caused the Chicago Bears' muffed conversion in yester day 13-6 triumph by the Packers. Roger Leclerc's kick bounced off Packer linebacker Lee Roy Caffey's chest to preserve a 7-6 Green Bay lead late in the game. The Packers then marched for an insurance touch-down. Observers thought Leclerc's foot might have struck the turf.

Leclerc, who hadn't missed a conversion all season, said he thought he kicked the ball solid. Caffey thought the holder might have juggled the snap.

Gino Cappelletti's field goal with 24 seconds left gave the Patriots the tie. Taylor caught nine passes for 133 yards and two touchdowns. He made a spectacular one-handed diving catch of a 21-yard scoring aerial from quarterback Len Dawson that left Holovak in a total state of disbelief. "That catch was out of this world absolutely unbelievable," Holovak said. "He has to be classed with the greats because of his speed, his hands, his moves." The deadlock left the Patriots a game behind the Buffalo Bills in the AFL's eastern division race.

Kansas City's lead In the West dwindled to a game and a half over Oakland. Buffalo is 7-3-1 and Boston 5-3-2. The Chiefs, with three games left, are 8-2-1. Oakland is 7-4. Dawson's only intercepted toss set the stage for Boston's late comeback.

Nick Buoniconti picked off a pass in the end zone that gave the Pats a first down at their own 20 with 2:57 left. Boston quarterback Babe Pa-rilli then engineered a 13-play, 67-yard drive that got the Patriots to the Kansas City 13 where they were faced with a fourth and one with only 24 seconds left when Cappelletti tied the score. Jackie Kemp threw for two touchdowns and ran for another and alternate quarterback Daryle Lamonica contributed a pair of touchdown passes as Buffalo beat Houston, 42-20. Quarterback Tom 1 passed for two touchdowns as the Oakland Raiders kept their western division championship hopes alive by beating Denver, 17-3.
