Wally Pipp was a New York Yankee first baseman or years ago. One day he got sick and they put in a kid to replace him. The kid's name was Lou Gehrig. So long, Wally. Pipp.

Richie Zisk got hurt last week and the way things have been going lately it may be a while before he returns to the Pirate lineup. The kid who replaced Zisk in right field was Dave Parker and his three-run homer yesterday was the telling blow in the Pirates' 7-4 win over St. Louis. The victory kept the Pirates 1 games in front of second- -place Montreal, which defeated Philadelphia, 5-4. It was no artistic success, this fourth straight Pirate win.

Dave Giusti struggled in relief like he has seldom struggled. He allowed three runs, six hits and two walks in 2 2-3 innings and had to be removed with two out in the ninth-after he had loaded the bases in favor of Ramon Hernandez, who retired the final batter. The win went to Jim Rooker (9-5), who worked the first five innings and was lifted in the sixth for Bob Johnson, who pitched superbly. Mike Nagy (9-2), who never got out of the first inning, was the Zisk, who feels he's recovered from a leg injury and should be back in the lineup, wouldn't have been all smiles if he could have heard Manager Danny Murtaugh talking about Parker after the game. "He reminds me so much of Willie Stargell when he first Pirate, Cardinal Box Score cr i niii PITTSBURGH I 0 0 4 1 0 0 0 1 Brock, If Agee.ct AlOUrDil Seoul.p Andrews, 1 came up," said Murtaugh.

"Parker is a line drive hitter and that's the way Willie was. But as time went on Willie developed enough of a loop in his swing so that those line drives started to become home runs. "In the future I think you'll find that Parker will get a little bit of a loop in his swing and those line drives he's been hitting will get some more distance on them." Parker has no desire to be the next Willie Stargell. "I just want to be Dave Pwker," he said. "Right now I'm just hitting for consistency.

I don't try for home runs. But i think the more I play the more home runs I'll hit." When he hit it, Parker's nomer a liner over the right-field wall against Diego Segui seemed rather inconsequential. It gave the Pirates a 7-1 lead. But no one expected the ineffectiveness of Giusti. He gave an indication of what was to come by giving up three straight singles when he entered the game in the seventh "I just couldn't throw the ball where I wanted it," he said.

"I'm trying to work too quick. I'm not relaxing and thinking enough." After the three singles loaded the bases, the Cardinals didn't get another hit, but they scored two runs. Tim McCar-ver, batting for Mike Tyson, grounded sharply to Bob Robertson at first. Robertson went to second for the double play as one run scored. But Dal Maxvill's return throw to first, where Giusti was covering, was in the dirt and got away Giusti was charged with an error as Luis Melendez scored from second.

A triple by Ted Sizemore and an infield out gave the Cardinals their fourth run in the eighth. Giusti seemed to regain his stuff and had retired five in a row until with two out in the ninth he gave up two singles and a walk. That brought on Hernandes, who picked up his lOih save Continued on Page D-7 'X 'i, sJ-J Tyi AB Stennett 2b Parker rt Oliver cf 3 Stargell If 3 Hebner 3b 3 Sonaulllen Robertson lb Maxvllle ss 3 Rooker Johnson Clines ph Glustl RHernandei Total 31 1 0 Bl 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Torre.lb 4 Melendez.rf 4 Fisher 0 4 Tvson.ss 2 McCarver.ph 1 0 Cruz, oh 1 Nnov.D 0 8 Peno.o Cruz.ph 1 Murohv.p 0 Hughes, oh 0 McBrlde.cf 2 v-v 'wit 'v, To'01 rmt'i Pittsburgh 0 01 11 3 40 0-7 210-4 1 bb 2B-pgrker. nr 5 1 Vj V5 Vtt 3 Rooker, (-5) Johnson Giusti R.

Johnny Majors is for real. Quarterback Bill Daniels isn't a world-beater as a passer, but he ran the offense" well. And Tony Dorsett, the freshman tailback sensation, was a threat all day, picking up 101 yards in his first college game. Pitt had its chances for the upset.

Monster linebacker Mike Bulino barely missed picking off an interception with a clear field ahead of him, and Dorsett and Bill Englert came within a block have been knocking the Panthers around for the last 10 years dogs to thrash a Pitt squad that lost 10 games last year. The difference In Pitt over recent years was amazing. The Panthers covered kicks well, they didn't give up any bombs, they were spearheaded by a fast, aggressive defense that created four turnovers, and they displayed speed. Pitt didn't win, but came within a play or two nt pulling the major college upset of the day by fighting Georgia's Bulldogs to a 7-7 tie. There were 52,005 screaming, red-clad Georgians here on a stifling, 80-some degree day who fully expected their Bull The big miss, however, came when the touted Carson Long, who kicks 50-yard field goals, missed a 34-yard attempt with just over three minutes left to play.

The Panthers frustrated Georgia so badly that the fans booed the team when it left the field at the end. Pitt sprang a 5-1 defense after Usrng a i4 in the spring, and the rush and pursuit of the front wall-with newcomer Gary Bur-ley plaving middle guard-kept the pressure oii the Bulldog backfield. Majors had this to say afterward: "Th's is perhaps the finest effort I've ever had from a football team. We didn't really know what we had there were 15 players on the field who never had been in a major college game. "I can't tell you how much this means to our program." Pitt used primarily wide stuff to sting the Bulldogs early, with Dorsett taking pitchouts to the left from Daniels to keep the ball moving into Bulldog territory.

When the a got to the Georgia 17, Daniels faked a pitchout and scrambled down the left sideline for a touchdown.

Carson Long kicked the ball out of sight and Pitt had a 7-0 lead in the middle of the first period. The Panthers kept coming up with big defensive plays to hold Georgia in check, but the Bulldogs finally got on the board early in the second quarter -after a 53-yard march, all on the ground with some crisp blocking.

The time also equalled the world record set by Tentam in the Baruch handicap on the turf at Saratoga this year. Tentam had been invited to compete in the Marlboro Cup but his owner declined.

Drawing even with Riva Ridge at the top of the stretch, Secretariat asserted his superiority over one of the best fields ever assembled and drew away in the final straightaway to finish his sparkling demonstration in 1:45 2-5. The brilliant son of Bold Ruler had been challenged to show his class in the preceding race on the day's program when Desert Vixen won the Beldame in 1:46 1-5 over the same distance to equal the track and American record and dare Secretariat to be better. The long-striding colt responded to this latest challenge by knocking two fifths of a second off the previous world record for a dirt course set by Pink Pigeon at Santa tnita on March 27, 1969. Opener Here Today Lions' Offense Tests Steeler Wall "We did a lot of stunting and blitzed almost every other play." If the Cardinal line, containing only two veterans, was confused, the crowd of 57,000 at Stanford Stadium could see clearly what was happening. Mike Boryla was in deep trouble.

Shuman, meanwhile, was slowly ridding himself of an uneasiness in his first start. Some of his early passes, although thrown with their customary zest, were off the mark. So the defense eased the pressure. It produced a safety at the expense of Tom Lynn, the Stanford punter with a glaring weakness of leisurely delivering his kicks. Allen and Murphy swamped him as he stood in his own end zone late in the first half.

The defense set up a touchdown on the next Stanford series when Scott Laidlaw's fumble flew into the arms of onrushing safety Jim Bradley at the Cardinals' 10. Bradley, a 6-1 junior from Johnstown, made an impressive debut as a regular. Earler in the half, he drifted in front of a Boryla pass at the Penn State five and blazed 51 yards down the sideline. Bradley's fumble recovery was not wasted. After John Cappelletti lost four yards on a pitchout, Shuman rolled out to his left and zipped a strike to Gary Hayman, who had a step on a Stanford defender in the end zone.

Throwing again, Shuman hit Dan Na-tale for a two-point conversion, sending the Lions ahead, 10-0, at halftime. When he finally stopped throwg, Shu- Continued on Page D-S samied Steeler offense. easier to run NFL were against. the lines of resistance. "Teams have moved the football against them, but those people aren't there The Lions 12 represented a tions now, says won, wnose urst Conference low complete two passes.

It was the darndest practice you ever saw." The recovery was miraculous. The Lions smothered Stanford, 20-6, yesterday and Tom Shuman, who inherited the quarterback position from an Ail-American, alerted a national television audience that Mike Boryla isn't the only guy who can throw a football. "I guess," Paterno sighed, "he got it all out of his system. He played extremely well today with an awful lot of pressure the television and playing against Boryla." The Penn State defense took care of Boryla, sacking him seven times. The 6-4 son of Vince Boryla, who coaches the basketball Utah Stars, had reason to lieve he picked the wrong sport after facing the rampaging defensive unit led by tackles Randy Crowder and Mike Hartenstine, end Greg Murphy and blitzing linebacker Doug Allen.

What Detroit does best is run the football; what the Steelers do best is shut down the run. The bookmakers have shown more confidence in the latter, by six points.
