(AP) -r-Georgs Blanda, playing his 300th regular season professional football game, kicked four field goals for Oakland Sunday and the Raiders beat Miami 12 7 to slop the champion Dolphins' winning streak at 18 games. The Dolphins, whose ttreak matched a National Football League record, were shut out until 1:07 remained in the game and Bob Griese threw a 27-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jim Mandich. Miami had the ball in Oakland territory four times earlier, but the Raiders took it away twice on fumbles and Miami's Garo Yepremian missed two field goal attempts from 26 and 45 yards.

The two American Football Conference powers, both 1-1 this year, played before the biggest home crowd in Raider history, 74,121, a near-sellout at the University of California's Memorial Stadium. The total did not include several thousand fans sitting on "Cheapskate Hill" overlooking the stadium. The 46-year-old Blanda kicked a field goal in each quarter, giving him seven this season, his 24th as a pro. They Dickey Will Not Jump Despite 'Close Call' touchdown, Shy's return sent the Cardinals to a commanding 31-17 advantage. Washington's Herb Mul-Key raced the ensuing kickoff another S7 yardi to make it 31-24, but Bakken's 28-yard field goal with eight minutes left all but sealed St.

Louis' triumph. Jurgensen's passes again moved the Redskins downf'eld in the waning minutes, but all Washington could manage was Jerry Knight's 37-yard field goal. The Cardinals, an NFL National Conference doormat in 1972, contained Washington's running attack and took a 7 0 lead late in the first quarter on Anderson's first touchdown. But a bristling Redskin defense dominated the second period and Bill Kilmer pitched 23 yards to Charley Taylor to make it 7-7 at halftime. DONNY ANDERSON keys Cardinals ST.

LOUIS (AP) Donny Anderson scored three touchdowns and Don Shy sprinted 97 yards with a kickoff return as the St. Louis Cardinals upset the Washington Redskins 34-27 in the National Football League Sunday. The Cardinals, advancing their record to 2-0, burst from a 10-7 deficit early in the second half behind the passing of Jim Hart and Shy's return. Anderson's second touchdown shot St. Louis on top 11-10 and Jim Bakken booted a 23-yard field goal before Ilrrt zeroed in on Andersonr for 12 yards and a 24-10 lead.

Florida, who was ranked 15th in the nation going into Saturday night's Tampa Stadium game against the University of Southern Mississippi, had to hold on for its life to score a 14-13 victory. It was the second close call the Gators have had, the first a 21-10 decision over Kansas State a week ago. Florida went into both games a big favorite but never could get a running attack going and had to rely on the passing of quarterback David Bowden for each victory.

However, Florida, with All-Southeastern Conference tailback Nat Moore in the backfield, was expected to use the ground forces this season after Moore set a new Gator rushing record a year ago. "I'm far from pleased with our running," Dickey said after the ground game could muster but 78 yards against Southern. "But, I'm not going to jump, yet. We are better than we've showed. We've just got to get it all together," Dickey said Sunday from his Gainesville office.

"While I've been concerned with our running game, I have to think the opposition has had a lot to do with stopping us. "We've sort of come into this season with a pretty good reputation especially Nat's (Moore) and I think everyone's getting ready for us. "Nobody is taking us lightly. I think we are going to play a lot of close games this season. I just hope we keep coming out on top.

"We don't have a team like Southern Cal or Alabama one that can blow the opposition out of the park. We just have to avoid losing and basically we've done that in the first two games. "We fumbled away the ball three times against Southern but when we had to have it, we got the job done especially on defense," Dickey said. Florida begins its SEC play wih a Saturday night contest in Jackson, against Mississippi State. State scored an impressive 52-21 victory over Van-derbilt Saturday and this score should have the Gators ready, Dickey thinks.

"I don't think we were up for Southern. Not taking anything away from P. W. (Underwood, Southern coach) and his team but after they lost to East Carolina in its opener well, I knew Southern would bring the fight to us but it was hard to get confidence of the players. It's a natural thing, I guess.

"I think they (players) will be ready against Mis-; sissippi State especially after they scored 52 points and by what happened to us against Southern," Dickey said. Florida came out of the Southern game without injuries with only linebacker Glenn Cameron and Andy Summer showing any effects of the tough defensive struggle. Both were knocked out in the hard-hitting battle but will be ready for Mississippi State. fir Jets Troy nee Baltimore THE YARDSTICK Colts Jets 14 34-108 168 105 First downs Rushes-yards Passing yards Return yards Passes Punts Fumbles-lost Penalties-yards 14 23-89 188 25 17-35-8 3-42 0-0 9-84 turned the game into a rout as linebacker Ralph Baker ran 22 yards and cornerback Rich Sowells 28 yards for touciV downs after picking off Marty Domres passes.

Aaron said he had always thought his chances were good to break the record this year, one he has called "the Cadillac of baseball records." However, he added, "My chances of breaking it this year don't look too good right now." Atlanta had five home games remaining following Sunday's clash with Houston in the The Braves are idle Monday, open a three-game series with Los Angeles Tuesday, and end the season next weekend with a two-game set with the Astros. Aaron planned to sit out Sunday's game at Houston, although he was available for pinch hitting duty. It's standard procedure for him to skip a day game following a night game. It was suggested to Aaron that he could possibly move into a tie with Ruth in one game since he already has belted two or more home runs in a game 61 times during his major league career, now in its 20th season. Aaron doesn't anticipate that happening.

"That bat is getting kind of heavy," he said. "I had to drop down to a 33 against Roberts and, in Atlanta, I'll probably have to drop down to a 32." HOUSTON (AP) "It's been a tiresome thing, constantly talking about Babe Ruth," said Hank Aaron, the 39-year-old Atlanta Braves star who needs only two home runs to tie the immortal Ruth's all-time record of 714. "I just want to hurry up and get it over with," said Aaron, who Saturday night smashed his 712th homer, a three-run, sixth-inning blast off left-hander Dave Roberts that gave the Braves a 4-2 victory over Houston. "I can't recall a day this year or the last part of last season when I did not hear the name Babe Ruth," he said.

(AP) Hubert Green carded a 72-hole total of 266, 18-under-par, and won the $100,000 BC Open Golf Championship Sunday to pocket $20,000.

Green, winner of $80,801 before this event, finished six strokes ahead of Dwight Nevil, who charged in with a round of 68 for 272. Green shot a 67 in his final round. Pensacola's Allen Miller finished with a 74 to pocket $222. Bobby Allison Wins Wilkes 400 NORTH WILKESBORO, N.C. (AP) Bobby Allison, in one of the brilliant performances of his career, made up a one-lap deficit in the final 50 miles Sunday and nipped arch-rival Richard Petty by 1.5 seconds to win the Wilkes 400 stock car race.

It was only the second triumph of the year for Allison, who won more than $300,000 in prize money last year and was the 1972 national driver of the year, Allison trailed Petty by a full circuit of the five-eighths-mile North Wilkesboro Speedway and appeared hopelessly out of it when he made his final pit stop with 50 laps to go. Bouttier Gets Second Chance Jean-Claude Bouttier of France will get a second chance Saturday against world middleweight champion Carlos Mon-zon, who is 31 and having weight problems. The scheduled 15-roundcr will take place in Paris, Mon-zon won the first fight by stopping Bouttier in June, 1972. In his last title defense in June, Monzon looked dull in outpointing Emile Griffith.

Ills victory was good for at least $25,000 in prize money and the victor's trophy. For the first time since this road track opened in 1961, there was doubt as to who was winner. The track announcer did not declare Itevson, of Redondo Beach, the victor until five minutes after the checkered flag had dropped.
