Even the rabid Baltimore fans were streaming out of Memorial Stadium long before the world champion Kansas 1 City Chiefs administered a 44-24 pasting Monday night, "We stunk out the place in the first half," said Baltimore's rookie head coach, Don McCafferty. "That includes all phases of the game offense, defense, the special teams and even the coaching." The first half ended with the Chiefs on top 31-7 and' they increased the bulge to 41-10 before Baltimore added two meaningless fourth quarter touchdowns. Quarterback Lenny Dawson of the Chiefs picked apart the Colts' defense for nine pass completions in 12 'attempts for 152 yards and four touchdowns. Frank Pitts caught three passes for 62 yards and' two TDs.

Safety Johnny Robinson grabbed three of Kansas City's five interceptions, setting up 10 points with his runbacks of 14 and 27 yards. He also scored a touchdown after running 46 yards with a Colt fumble. The massive Chiefs also crashed through to toss John Unitas and Earl Morrall a total of seven times for 73 yards in losses.

Unitas, who, didn't play the last 35 minutes, undoubtedly had the worst day of his 15-year storied career. He had five completions in 15 attempts for a net of just 28 yards after his three losses behind the line were subtracted. Morrall, dumped four times for 43 yards, wound up with 200 yards net on 17 for 36 and had Sports Colts (58) and middle guard Ed think first of survival. Periard (56) force Wall to Strong' Nebraska opened preparations for its football invasion of Minnesota with a short, but: swiftly-paced workout Monday. The opening drill for the Gophers emphasized adi-tionipg, a factor which loomed large in last year's 42-14 conquest of Minnesota.

Following the 90-minute workout theCornhuskers received the scouting report and viewed films of Minnesota inaction. Graduate assistant (Jim Walden, who scoured the Gophers along with Bill Thornton, labeled Minnesota as being "big and strong with good depth and good experience." He noted that the Gophers simply overpowered Ohio University in a 49-7 romp last week, going to the air only 10 times. don't have to pass much when you can roll up 489 yards on the ground," Walden emphasized. Cornhusker coach Bob Devaney indicated Monday that he looked for Minnesota to try to "run right at us." Devaney noted that the Cornhuskers should be at nearly full strength by Saturday. Defensive end Johnny Pitts, who injured a.

knee in Friday's light drill, is on the doubtful list and offensive guards Donnie McGhee and Dick Rupert are expected to be ready after being slowed by injuries in the Army game. Guy Ingles, who saw only spot duty against the Cadets, is expected to get the starting call at split end. Sophomore defensive tackle Tom Robison, injured in the Wake Forest game, is to undergo knee surgery Wednesday and will miss the remainder of the season.

The Mets, who dropped three straight to the Pirates, including Sunday's 2-1 loss, enabling the Pirates to clinch the National League East 1 Division title, were on their way to dropping another Monday night when first Donn Clendenon and then Garrett exploded pv The Mets pulled it out in the 10th inning, winning 6-3 on Garrett's 12th homer of the placing the Mets and Cubs in a flat-footed tie for second place with three games remaining a a i each other. In the only other National League game, Houston blanked San Francisco 3-0.

In the American League, Minnesota edged, Kansas City 1-0 and California nipped Chicago 4-3, Clendenon gave the Mets a life Monday night when he slammed his 22nd homer a two-run shot in the ninth inning off Ken Holtzman, giving New York a 3-3 tie. The pair of runs batted in gave Clendenon 95 for the season, a club record. Holtzman had been breezing along on a four-hitter until Cleon Jones slammed a two-out single before Ciendenon's shot. The left-hander was given a 3-1 edge in the sixth when Tommy Davis connected for a three-ran blast. Then in the 10th, Jerry Grote doubled off Hoyt Wilhelm and after two outs, Dave Marshall walked.
