SHORT RIBS SIRE, THE HUMS ARE AT THE FRANK AND ERNEST by Bob Thaves Rams prove themselves surprise team of year The Los Angeles Rams have a big smile for those so-called experts who wrote them off before this season. The Rams, the surprise team of the early National Football League season, ran their record to 3-0 and took a solid lead in the NFC West Sunday with a 40-20 drubbing of their archrivals, the San Francisco 49ers.

Blending the experience. of 33-year-old John Hadl with the aggressive enthusiasm of a young defense, the Rams surged to a 27-10 lead at the half and then blew the 49ers off the field in the final period. Hadl, who asked to be traded from San Diego last season because he didn't agree with the club's ball control philosophy, seems to be content with it in Los obviously, can ease a multititude of pains. "We're essentially a ball- control team," said Hadl, who threw only 11 times but completed eight, including his first five. "I have the confidence that I can call anything and get results." Vic Washington plunged a yard for a TD with two seconds left in the first period to give San Francisco a 7-3 lead but it was virtually all Rams after that.

Rookie Cullen Bryant returned the 49ers' kickoff 93 yards for a TD and after Bruce Gossett's field goal for San Francisco, Lawrence McCutcheon ran 11 yards for a score and Hadl threw 39 yards to Harold Jackson for another. David Ray kicked three field goals and Tony Baker barrelled a yard for a TD to make it 40-13 before 49er reserve Steve Spurrier threw a 20-yard TD pass to Ted Kwalick. Minnesota, Dallas and Pittsburgh joined Los Angeles as the NFL's only unbeaten teams. Minnesota downed Green Bay, 11-3, Dallas crushed St. Louis, 45-10, and Pittsburgh trounced Houston, 36-7.

Elsewhere, Miami rolled over New England, 44-23, Kansas City stunned Oakland, 16-3, Washington whipped Philadelphia, 28-7, Buffalo upset the New York Jets, 9-7, Cleveland overtook the New York Giants, 12-10, Chicago crushed Denver, 33-14, Cincinnati defeated San Diego, 2013, and Baltimore outlasted New Orleans, 14-10. Atlanta is at Detroit tonight. Fred Cox kicked three field goals and Minnesota's defense bottled up the Packer offense as the Vikings surged to a solid lead in the NFC Central. Rookie tight end Billy Joe DuPree caught three TD passes as the Cowboys steamrollered St. Louis in their battle for first in the NFC East.

Pittsburgh, its league- leading defense stunned by an early Houston TD, exploded for 30 points in the second half to hand the Oilers their 14th straight loss. Mercury Morris sped for 197 yards, including scoring runs of 70, 35 and 24 yards as the Dolphins got back on the winning track by ripping New England. Jan Stenerud's field goals of 47, 41 and 29 yards and a 17- yard TD run with a pass interception late in the game by Willie Lanier carried Kansas City to its upset of Oakland. Sonny Jurgensen threw TD passes of 23 and 10 yards to Charley Taylor to lead the Redskins over Philadelphia. John Leypoldt kicked three field goals and Buffalo's defense, led by Earl Edwards, stormed all over Jet quarterback Al Woodall as the Bills officially opened their' new stadium with an upset of the Jets.

The victory left the young Bills tied with Miami for the AFC East lead. Ken Anderson threw TD passes of 78 and 38 yards to Essex Johnson as Cincinnati topped San Diego in a game in which Charger quarterback John Unitas surpassed the career mark in passing. Bobby Douglass threw TD passes of 44 yards to James Harrison and five to Earl Thomas to lift the Bears past Denver. Don Cockroft's four field goals in the second half, including a 10-yarder with 2:54 to play, led the Browns past the Giants. Rookie Bert Jones threw four yards to Tom Mitchell for one score and set up Don Nottingham's one-yard TD plunge as the Colts beat the Saints in a battle of losers.

Racing returns October 13 with the 1973 Grand Prix for NASCAR sportsman and hobby stock cars. English driver beats Donohue in event KENT, Wash. Redman of England led second-place Mark Donohue by nearly a minute Sunday to win the final event of the 5000 Cahmpionship race series. It was his fourth straight win on the circuit. Despite a third place finish Sunday, Jody Scheckter of South Africa was the overall series champion, having wrapped up the title before the final race.

Redman, driving a Lola- Chev, had a 56.73-second lead over Donohue's AMC-powered Lola at the checkered flag at Seattle International Raceway. Scheckter, driving a Trojan, suffered locked brakes in his first heat and failed to finish even one lap. That misfortune put him 2lst and last at the start of the finale, but his driving skill carried the Trojan into third place before it ran out of gasoline one lap from the finish: Redman said he "didn't back off" despite his huge lead over Donohue because "the journalists would have written ter would have won except he had to start at the back of the pack."

"He's plenty tough right now, but he's going to be a lot tougher when he gets more experience," Emerson said of the playing of Sweden's 17- year old star, Bjorn Borg. Borg, who picked up $4,000 second-place money, said he was not disappointed by his 5-7, 6-1, 6-4 loss to Emerson. "I play my own game and if 1 lose, I lose," the sixth-seeded Borg said.

"Next time, I'll beat him." Emerson's win before 5,700 fans at the Round Hill Country Club netted him $9,000 and was his first tourney victory in several months. The fourth- seeded Emerson said he plans to only appear in selected tournaments in the future because he plays better with longer stretches of rest. Borg, who had the girls screaming in admiration, won the first set by winning five games in a row after being down 5-2. Emerson then caught fire in the second, winning the first five games and breaking Borg's service twice. The third set was closely contested, but Emerson broke service three times, finally winning it, 6-4.

Emerson added to his day's winning when he and Stan Smith captured the doubles title and $2,400 first prize with a 6-2, 6-1 decision over Ove Bengtson of Sweden and Jim Mc Manus of Berkeley. De La Torre wins golf title LAS VEGAS, Nev. (UPI) Spanish-born Manuel De La Torre, won the National Seniors Open golf championship Sunday with an 11- under-par total of 278 for 72 holes after coming from a tie for 55th place after first round. The 52-year-old De La Torre, of Milwaukee, shot a three-under 69 on the final round and won first money of $7,500 in the $75,000 event. He finished one stroke in front of defending champion Tommy Bolt, Willie Barber and Al Feldman.

His earlier rounds were 74-6471, the first two on par 71 courses and the last two on the par 72 Paradise Valley course.

His 69 included five birdies and two bogeys. Bolt, Cherokee Village, going for his sixth straight title here, and Barber, Costa Mesa, carded six-under 66s on the last round for the day's lowest scores.

Feldman had.70. AU'three received $3,167 for tying for second. Bolt was short with his approach putt from 20 feet on the last green that would have given him a tie with De La Torre..
