City Prtis-Gtixtft-FrWay, October If, 1173 Tennessee at Alabama in Battle of Unbeaten Teams By ED SCHUYLER JR. Associated Press Sports Writer Surprising Miami of Florida and unbeaten Houston will launch the weekly battle for improved national football rankings tonight while Alabama's Bear Bryant ponders Tennessee and wonders about odds-makers.

Houston has displayed a sensational ground game so far. Leonard Parker has run for 564 yards, Reggie Cherry for 415 and quarterback D.C, Nobles for 312. "I don't know how those people who sit up there in New York or wherever they are can do something like that without seeing either team play," said Bryant after odds-makers made his Alabama team a two-touchdown favorite to beat Ten nessee in a key Southeastern Conference game. Both clubs have 5-0 records, but Tennessee almost came a cropper when it just edged Kansas 28-27 two weeks ago. Alabama rolls behind the passing of starting quarterback Gary Rutledge and the running of reserve quarterback Richard sparked by scrambling quarterback Condredge Hblloway and hard running Haskel Stanback and Bill Rudder.

The Oklahoma-Colorado Big Eight clash could be a duel sophomore quarterbacks--Steve Davis of Oklahoma and Clyde Crutchmer of Colorado. Oklahoma goes into the game with three victories and a tie.

Cash Traded To Phillies For Brett PITTSBURGH (AP) The Pittsburgh Pirates, seeking to remedy their pitching ills, have acquired Ken Brett from the Philadelphia Phillies for Dave Cash, a dependable but expendable second baseman.

Brett, 24, was 13-8 last season and bad 10 complete games, Nelson Briles. "I faced Brett a couple of times. He had a good, live arm and he's going to be an addition to the Pirate ballclub," Cash said after the deal was announced Thursday in New York. Two other deals were reported to be in the works Thurs- In other games involving Top day--although none of the clubs Ten teams Saturday, fourth- ranked Michigan will be at home against Wisconsin; No. 5 Penn State is at Syracuse; No.

Cziinsberg's jewelers Mali Shopping Center Downtown Cedar Rapids would confirm the trades. In an interleague swap, the American League's Boston Red Sox were reportedly sending controversial outfielder Reggie Smith and relief pitcher Ken Tatum to the St. Louis Cardinals of the National League, in exchange for starting pitcher Rick Wise and outfielder Bernie Carbo.

The reported deal wasn't confirmed by the teams because major league rules prohibit inter-league trading until five days after the World Series, which won't end until the weekend. In an American League deal, the California Angels were said to be trading pitcher Clyde Wright to Milwaukee for Brewers' catcher Eflie Rodriguez as part of a multi-player deal that might include Milwaukee hurler ikip Lockwood. Cash, 25, was unhappy sharing job Pittsburgh's with Rennie season. He batted .271 in 116 games and was used occasionally at third. He welcomed the swap as a chance to play regularly for the Phillies, who used five different players at second.

"I think they traded for what they wanted," Cash observed.

"It was a good, solid round," said Jones, winner of two titles last season but shut out from victories this year. 'But the putting was the whole thing," continued Jones, who used only 29 strokes on the greens. "I made everything I should have made--and a couple I shouldn't have.
