The Advocate, Newark, 6., Sept. 19, 1981 Page 11 1 4 i CINCINNATI (AP) Cleveland Browns quarterback Brian Sipe makes his llving-on the two-minute drill, winning ball games at the last minute. And that's what Cincinnati Bengals have to worry about. In the last three games, counting the final preseason contest, Bengals opponents have scored twice and come close the other the final minutes," said cor-nerback Louis Breeden. In the final exhibition game, the Denver Broncos' quarterback Mark Herrmann moved the ball 61 yards for the winning touchdown with no timeouts.

Two weeks ago, Seattle's Jim Zorn marched his team 60 yards before the defense finally shut him down. the Browns here on Sunday. "They (opponents) have hit a couple of plays in the most critical time of the games. This can be corrected. It's not that our guys don't know what to do.

They're just not quite getting it done," said LeBeau. "The nickel works well all during the ball game, but it hasn't been what you'd like'in time in the waning moments. That's when the Bengals use their prevent defense, sometimes called the nickel defense because there are five defensive backs instead of four to prevent passes. "We've been giving up too many big plays," said defensive back coach Dick LeBeau as the Bengals prepared Thursday for ranked 21st in the National Football League in pass defense and 10th in the American Conference. "The nickel defense is kind of like the guy who holds on kicks," LeBeau said.

"They're always on the field In a relatively critical situation. When it's played well, it's forgotten. When it isn't, you remember it, just like the guy who holds the ball." The New York Jets' Richard Todd moved the Jets for a touchdown to pull within one point of a tie. Sipe won nine ball games last season in the final two minutes, and the Browns are third in passing this season despite their 0-2 record. The Bengals, undefeated in two regular season games, are i Un retired Muhammed Ali will return in December ter 10 rounds at Las Vegas, Nev.

One of those was the final match of the long, rainy day. Ray Floyd and Hale Irwin were all even with Bernard Gallacher and Eamonn Darcy through 15 holes before the veteran Floyd took charge. He birdied the 16th and 17th holes from about 15-20 feet, providing the Americans with their only victory in the afternoon fourballs, in which scoring is based on the better ball of each twoman team. It kept the' Americans, who have lost only once since World War II, well within striking distance with two more days of competition remaining.

The Europeans won two of the afternoon matches, which were twice interrupted by thunderstorms that produced heavy rain and hail.

"I shook the world," Ali said, telling his enraptured audience what he would say after beating Trevor Berbick in their 12-rounder early in December in Nassau, Bahamas. "They said I was washed up.

"I messed them up again," he said, with both hands clasped over his head. He enjoyed what he was saying so much that he repeated it several times. Earlier, the 39-year-old Ali was up to his usual show business antics. He glared lengthily at Berbick. He posed for pictures with him, letting Berbick hold his left hand on Ali's jaw, but making certain the nativeborn Jamaican wouldn't do any more damage than that.

He made jokes. He waed poetical. He clowned. lectured. And he was serious at times.

It was vintage Ali. "I've always been a man of positive thinking," he said. "It's only fitting that I come back. Now, I'm gonna make all of you old men feel old." At 39, Ali is the one who should feel old. Many observers thought he looked old in his last fight Oct.

(AP) Hank Aaron, farm director of the Atlanta Braves, says he feels that International League President Harold Cooper "got cold feet" when he declared -the regular-season champion Columbus Clippers the winners of the rain-canceled final playoffs. "At first, he said we'd (Richmond Braves) be co-champs. Then he said Columbus would be champs because they were up 2-1. That's not what we had in mind.

It's not fair to these guys. It's a bad way to handle it," Aaron said Friday night after Cooper halted the play-offs. Cooper had been contacted by officials of both the Clippers and the Richmond Braves, Atlanta's farm team, after Thursday night's fourth game was post- i pbnejl by a torrential rain. The officials suggested that the playoffs, in which there had been 10 rainouts since the start of the semifinals, be ended so the parent clubs could call up NOBODY RETIRES ME.

"And we're very fortunate to be 4 1 i-3 It could have been much worse," said Marr. "I think it will kind of alert some of my fast guns that they're in a dogfight for the next couple of days. I think it will kind of pull the team together. I think they know now they really have to play hard." And then he grinned and added, "It's not over yet." John Jacobs, the European captain, voiced the same thought.

drops fifth in Indians 8-4 Dec. 1-5. No TV contract has yet been signed, but the promoters said they had been talking with interested parties. Nor were the fighters' purses disclosed, but Ali said, "My lawyers and managers say it will be in the millions." Ali is the only fighter ever to win the heavyweight title three times. And he is confident of winning it again.

He said Aaron called Columbus General Manager George Sister "and told him they wanted to cancel the playoffs. George agreed with him. I called Richard Andersen, and he told me the field was unplayable for (Friday night). Aaron told him "he felt the teams should be co-champions. He told me George Sisler agreed with that," Cooper said.

But he said he called Sisler "and he didn't make that statement to me. So, I decided Columbus would be the champion on the basis of their 2-1 lead in the series. There will be an asterisk in the record book to say they won an abbreviated series.

His earned run average over that period is 1.09, dropping his ERA for the year to 2.80. "I wasn't very sharp tonight, not like I've been," said Denny, who had skipped one start to let his arm rest. "The rest was welcome," he said. "I've thrown a lot of innings. We're in a four-man rotation, and after the strike it's been a challenge to all starting pitchers.

The Clippers are a farm team of the New York Yankees. Richmond General Manager Richard Andersen said there were three main reasons for ending the playoffs: The parent clubs wanted to call some players up. The bad weather could continue. It was getting too expensive for the organizations with low gates not matching expenses.

Richmond officials were under the impression Cooper would declare the teams cochampions or say there was no champion. But Cooper declared Columbus the champion because of the Clippers' 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. Columbus thus became the first team in IL history to win three straight pennants and playoff titles.

"There's no room for error at this point," said Bench, who socked a two-run homer in the top of the ninth. "We dug ourselves into a hole by not getting off to a good start the second "half." Bench is doing his best to get Cincinnati the right track. Since returning to the active roster after breaking a bone in his ankle during the first half of the season, Bench is batting .412 (14 for 34) with five home runs and 13 RBIs. "I've just tried to make the most of my opportunities," said Bench, who appeared Friday night as a pinch-hitter. "Fortunately, I'm seeing some good pitches." The Reds' win, coupled with San Francisco's victory over Houston, moved them to within half a game of second-place Los Angeles, which still trails the Houston Astros by two games in the National League West.

San Diego Coach Don Coryell knows the quick striking power of his offense, but he is concerned about the Chiefs' defense. He has called Kansas City's secondary "the best we play against," and said he is wary of the Chiefs' linebacking crew, led by Gary Spani and Frank Man-umaleuga.

Noting that the Chiefs have forced 11 fumbles in two games, Coryell said, "And those inside linebackers have caused seven of them." Monday night, Dallas will be at New England. In a Thursday night game, Philadelphia defeated Buffalo 20-14. While San Diego's running game is improved with Muncie and rookie James Brooks, the Chargers' passing attack still is very dangerous.

The Pats may be an explosive team, but Dallas isn't the kind of team to give up a lot of points, either in a hurry or over the long haul.
