Fort Lauderdale Newt 6D Oct. 2, 1972 Roughing 6A Horrible CallVLurtsema Grant 'It Was A Six-Minute Ball Game By MIKE SCHWEBEL Sports Staff Writer BLOOMINGTON, Minn. "The story of this game?" said Bud Grant, repeating a question. "You write it and you've got a good book and you'll make a lot of money," he said. The Vikings are 1-2 and in Minnesota they start putting dirt over the grave in that condition.

"It was a six-minute ball game," said Grant, the Vikings' coach, a tall, lanky man with a gray flattop, "There were no excuses, no breaks. They just beat us. At the end they were stronger than we were. Their offense was stronger than our defense," A door away from Grant's office, players were leaving. Defensive end Bob Lurtsema, who was called for roughing the passer on a second down incomple-tion in the Dolphins' final series before they scored the winning touchdown, was berating the official who called the penalty.

"Six years and this has never happened to me," he said. "I don't know if he (Bob Griese) put on a fake or not, but I had my arm around him and he fell. I told the official I could have really given him a shot but I didn't do it. He said 1 know, but he fell It was a horrible call," Lurtsema said. "I was looking back to see where the play was when he fell.

Isn't that terrible?" Lurtsema added. The winning touchdown pass to Jim Mandich did not come as a shock to the Vikings. "We read a run and it was a pass," cornerback Bobby Bryant said simply. "That play has been pulled on us many times before and will be again. It's a good play down there because you have to play the run when they get that close." Bryant said the Vikings "just kind of let down in the final quarter.

We did it for three quarters and then just didn't play a few plays very well," he said. Nothing the Dolphins did surprised the Vikings, including the double reverse Miami pulled off which set up Garo Ye-premian's 51-yard field goal that narrowed the Minnesota lead to 14-9. "Marlin Briscoe was a quarterback and we knew about it. It was just desperation kind of stuff," Grant said. "Briscoe was under very good cover-1 age, too," Bryant said.

"He threw that one better than Griese threw some today. Marlin the Magician, he is." 1 The Magician said that wasn't the first time he's pulled the pass play. "I did it twice last year when I was with Buffalo and it would have worked both times except that I overthrew J. D. Hill one time," Briscoe said.

"This wasn't my idea. We've had this play ready for two or three weeks and Griese just thought this might be when it could go," Briscoe added. "Marlin's been telling me he can throw," Coach Don Shula said, "I guess next year I'm going to have to bring him into rookie camp for a shot at quarterback," he continued, smiling. Grant said the Vikings kept getting good field position "up to about the 50. We were always just one play away from a field goal," he said.

A key in the Dolphins' victory was the way they kept Fran Tarkenton from scrambling successfully. Tarkenton ran sixiimes for only 16 yards. "The exhibition game was a big help in trying to chase Tarkenton," defensive end Vera Den Herder said. "It gave us an idea of what to expect from him."

"I've never seen a man take a shot like that." Csonka suffered a severely bruised lower back. He returned to the game on the succeeding offensive series and ended the day with yards in 10 carries.

The Vikings removed safety Paul Krause and replaced him with a lineman to better protect against the run. Griese saw Krause leave the game. "It left them with five linemen, three linebackers and three deep backs," he said. Mandich, on the delay, should have been covered by the safety, which in this case would have been Krause had he not been removed, or by Wally Ililgcnbcrg, a linebacker who simply failed his assignment.

"It's the biggest pass I ever caught in football," Mandich said. Down the corridor SO paces, only cornerback Bobby Bryant was doing much talking for the Vikings. "Losing to Miami," he was saying, "is a shame, not a disgrace ings in field goal range. He started at his 19 and ended up at the 28 before unleashing a last shot bomb intercepted by Lloyd Mum-phord. "Go back to New York," a fan shouted to Tarkenton.

The victory gave the Dolphins a 3-0 record and first place in the Eastern Division of the AFC when the Jets lost to Houston in the Astrodome. The Dolphins go to New York next week. Offensive tackle Wayne Moore will be out for at least three weeks with a dislocated shoulder, Moore was injured in the second quarter and replaced by Doug Crusan, a four-year regular who lost the job to Moore when he was injured during the preseason. There were no other serious (Continued from Page ID) good from SS to 58 yards," he said. There was 4:15 remaining in the game.

The only thing left was for the defense to get the ball and for the offense to score a touchdown something It had not been able to do while having the ball 12 times. The defense pushed the Vikings back two yards in three downs and the offense got the ball 59 yards away from the goal line. It took 39 seconds, six plays and a roughing the passer penalty to get there. Morris gained 16 yards in two plays and Howard Twilley came in to catch two passes for 25 yards. Then Mandich was all alone in the end zone to catch Griese's pass from the three.
