8c ST. PETERSBURG TIMES SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1981 pro football Shocker: Tar Heels fall 31-13 'Dogs blank 'Cats 8, Dolphins-Cowboys game a showdown of winning coaches Compilad from AP, UPI wiraa Compiled from AP. UPI wirai Giants' victories vere over teams that have lost 23 of 28 games. They can expect difficulty in running against the fine Falcon defense and in turn trying to stop the running of William Andrews. Then there are Steve Bartkowski's passes to Alfred Jenkins, who averages almost 20 yards a reception.

Atlanta by 8Vi points. Los Angeles (4-3) at San Francisco (6-2) The Rams have beaten the 49ers'nine times in a row and last lost at San Francisco in 1966. But times have changed. Jack Reynolds, the ex-Ram; Fred Dean, the former Charger, and Lawrence Pillers, a one-time Jet, have helped to make the 49er defense solid. The Rams need fewer dropped passes, stronger pass defense.

San Francisco by 1. Tampa Bay (4-3) at Philadelphia (6-1) The last time they played, in a divisional playoff game in 1979, Tampa won handily. The Eagles have improved since then, but not the Buccaneers. Philadelphia by 9. Green Bay (2-5) at Detroit (3-4) Billy Sims expects to be ready after missing a game and the Lions will go again with Eric Hippie at quarterback.

He had four scoring passes in his first start. Even with John Jefferson and James Lofton in the lineup the Packers have scored only 13 points in their last two games. Detroit by 6. Minnesota (5-2) at St. Louis (2-5) Ted Brown, the Vikings' uncelebrated halfback, has gained more yards rushing and receiving than the Cardinals' renowned Ottis Anderson.

The impressive Vikings will be after their sixth straight victory. The Cards, thin on linebackers, may start two rookies. Minnesota by 2. (Ml IBB! TTjiTTHBHi FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CALL 531-7779 CHAPEL HILL, N.C. South Carolina used the nearly flawless passing of quarterback Gordon Beckham to engineer a 31-13 upset of third-ranked North Carolina Saturday.

Beckham connected on an amazing 16 of 17 passes for 195 yards and one touchdown. And the Gamecock defense did its job, holding the Tar Heels' potent rushing attack to 176 yards and forcing five turnovers three interceptions and two fumbles. The loss ended a 10-game UNC winning streak and leaves the Heels at 6-1 this season. South Carolina is 5-3. North Carolina struggled, playing catchup all afternoon and losing starting quarterback Rod Elkins to a sprained ankle in the first half.

The only offense the Tar heels could manage was a scoring pass in the first half and a 70-yard touchdown run off a fake punt in the second. South Carolina did not have such problems. After jumping out to a 14-7 lead at the half, the Gamecocks started the second half with a 53-yard pass from Beckham to Horace Smith. That put the ball on the North Carolina 5 and Beckham hit DeWayne Chivers with a scoring pass from the 3 with 8:10 left in the third quarter. The Tar Heels came back with the fake punt-turned-touchdown by Jeff Hayes to pull within eight points.

But then the turnovers began to tell. Sammy Johnson fumbled a Gamecock punt and South Carolina recovered and took over on the Tar Heel 26. The Gamecocks came away with only a field goal. But then backup quarterback Scott Stankavage threw an interception on the Tar Heel 22 and running back Ken-drick Stafford took it in from the 5 four plays later with 10:09 left. The Gamecocks rolled up 361 total yards.

Johnnie Wright led the South Carolina rushing attack with 115 yards. The Gamecocks ignored North Carolina's national ranking in the first half, limiting the Tar Heels' usually potent offense to 147 yards, including only 50 rushing. South Carolina passed for 1 14 yards as Beckham posted perfect 11-for-ll passing, and the Gamecocks picked up 80 yards rushing. South Carolina showed its disdain early, taking the opening kickoff and driving 80 yards for a touchdown. ATHENS, Ga.

Quarterback Buck Belue passed and ran for 178 yards and tailback Herschel Walker ran for 129 Saturday to lead seventh-ranked (AP) Georgia to a 21-0 victory over Kentucky. Belue scored on a 5-yard run midway through the third quarter and then threw a 2-point conversion pass to fullback Ronnie Stewart to account for the final points of the game. Walker, the second-leading rusher in the nation, scored the Bulldogs' first touchdown on a 1-yard plunge with 17 seconds left in the first quarter. In addition to those two touchdowns, the Bulldogs had two field goals by freshman Kevin Butler a 37-yarder for the first points in the game with 3:22 left in the first quarter and a 40-yarder with 3 seconds remaining in the first half. Walker, a sophomore who now has 1,197 yards this season and a career total of 2,813 in just 18 games, moved into seventh place on the all-time Southeastern Conference list.

He had 62 of his yards in the first quarter while leading the Bulldogs to their first 10 points. Walker was held to only 16 yards in the second quarter and 26 in the third, but Belue picked up the slack. Belue, who left the game after the opening play of the final period, completed 12 of 17 passes for 137 yards and wound up with 41 net yards rushing thanks to a series of keepers. Kentucky, which has lost six in a row since winning its opener, did not cross the Georgia 35 until late in the final quarter.

Broncos-Bills, WFLA-8; 4p.m. Dolphins-Cowboys, WFLA-8 Compiled from W.V. Times and AP wlree Two of the top four winningest coaches in National Football League history match strategy today. Dallas' Tom Landry trails only George Ha-las and Curly Lambeau in regular season career victories with an 189-110-6 record. Miami's Don Shula is just a game behind in fourth place on the all-time list with an 188-71-6 ledger.

Shula's 71.1 winning percentage is the best among the all-time Top 10. However, Landry's 72.1 winning percentage is the best since the 1970 merger. Both teams have always done well in in-terconference matches. The Dolphins, since 1970, have won 85 percent of their games against National Conference teams and that includes two Super Bowl victories. The Cowboys' record against American Conference teams is 28-11, including two victories and three losses in Super Bowl games.

Only the Oakland Raiders, 31-9-1, and the Dolphins, 33-6, have had better interconference results. Miami last lost to an NFC opponent, Philadelphia, in 1978. THE AFC, which has led the NFC in interconference victories every year since 1973, is ahead again this season, 11-7, after seven weeks. The Dallas-Miami contest finds the Dolphins leading their division by 1 lA games over Buffalo, while the Cowboys trail the Eagles by a game one week in advance of their match in Philadelphia. Landry and Shula have only matched wits three times.

Shula has taken the two regular-season meetings but Landry prevailed in the 1972 Super Bowl. Their philosophies and psychological makeup are almost directly opposite. Shula stalks the sidelines in a jacket or open-necked shirt while Landry is always resplendent in coat and tie. Shula's offense is basic, fundamental football while Landry's features shifts and multiple formations. The Dolphin defense is a three-man front while the Cowboys run their four-man front flex.

Both have great respect for each other. "THIS YEAR may be one of his best accomplishments since they are 5-1-1 when they weren't expected to be that," said Landry. "Dallas will be well prepared as always and extremely tough at home," said Shula. Shula has done his homework. The Cowboys are 68-15 since they moved to Texas Stadium in 1971.

The Dolphins leads the American Conference East while Dallas, at 5-2, is a game behind the Philadelphia Eagles in the National Conference East. The Cowboys come into the game after an emotional 29-17 victory over Los Angeles following two straight losses. The Dolphins nipped Washington 13-10 last week. "We need to keep playing with intensity and enthusiasm," said Dallas running back Tony Dorsett, the No. 2 rusher in the NFL behind Earl Campbell.

"I know emotion doesn't win or lose a football game but it creates an atmosphere for winning." Previews of all games with records in parentheses. (Betting lines are from Harrah's Reno Race and Sports American Conference Seattle (1-6) at Jets (3-3-1) The Jets' Richard Todd and Seattle's Jim Zorn have similar passing figures except Todd's touchdown pass-interception ratio is 14-6 to Zorn's 5-6. The Seahawk quarterback is operating without a rushing attack and with little help from his defense. Jets by 9Vi. Denver (5-2) at Buffalo (4-3) Joe Cribbs will be the key player in this important game.

If he can run against the league's No. 1 defense, the Bills will establish control. Steve Watson, the Bronco wide receiver and free agent from Temple, has made 31 receptions, 9 for touchdowns, while Craig Morton is the top-ranked NFL passer. Buffalo by 4Vi. Kansas City (5-2) at Oakland (3-4) The Chiefs shut out Oakland 27-0 two weeks ago and the Raiders have made four position changes since, the most significant being Marc Wilson for Jim Plunkett at quarterback.

Wilson was fair-to-good in his first start. Joe Delaney, the Chiefs' rookie running back, is averaging 5.1 yards a carry. Oakland by 2V2. Houston (4-3) at Pittsburgh (4-3) Both lost last Sunday by a combined score of 17-72. But it is Terry Bradshaw against Ken Stabler once more in a Monday night showdown, with Bradshaw aging more gracefully.

Pittsburgh by 5. Baltimore (1-6) at Cleveland (3-4) The Colts' defense is giving up 414 yards a game.

'Bama wins; Bear within two SOUTH Interconference Miami (5-1-1) at Dallas (5-2) The Cowboy offense should work well with Tony Dorsett running effectively inside and Danny White hitting the deep passes on post patterns. David Woodley, the gutsy Dolphin quarterback, meets the Dallas defense for the first time. Dallas by 6. Chicago (1-6) at San Diego (5-2) The Bears will not have the ball very often because the Chargers lead the league in points scored, total yards gained, and yards by passing. Their defense, however, is No.

1 in passing yards given up and No. 2 in overall yards allowed. San Diego by 9. Cincinnati (5-2) at New Orleans (1- 6) The Bengals owe much of their surprising success to their veteran quarterback, Ken Anderson, and a suddenly staunch defense. Anderson has been passing for 260 yards a game and has 12 scoring passes to only four interceptions.

After this the Saints play the Falcons, Rams and Vikings. Cincinnati by 6. New England (2-5) at Washington (1-6) The Redskins have John Riggins and Joe Washington, both healthy at last, to play running back and Terry Metcalf moves to wide receiver. The Patriots will be without Mike Haynes, their all-pro cornerback. Both teams are better than what their records may suggest.

Alan Gray and Walter Lewis connected with wide-open receivers for touchdown, passes as 11th-ranked Alabama defeated Rutgers 31-7 Saturday to put Bear Bryant within two victories of the football coaching record. The Crimson Tide scored on its first three possessions to run its record to 6-1-1 and put Rutgers at 5-3. It was Alabama's 54th consecutive victory on its home field.

Its mark at Tuscaloosa is 69-1 under Bryant, whose record now is 312-80-17. The late Amos Alonzo Stagg had 314 victories.

John Bond fired an 18-yard scoring strike to Danny Knight with one minute remaining Saturday to give ninth-ranked Mississippi State a 21-17 Southeastern Conference victory over Auburn. The 6-1 Bulldogs remained unbeaten in the SEC (3-0), while Auburn dropped to 3-4 and 1-2. Mississippi State took advantage of an Auburn mistake at midfield with 2:28 remaining to set up their winning drive that also included a 32-yard pass from Bond to Knight on a fourth and 10 situation at midfield. Auburn, holding a 17-14 lead, had a fourth-and-2 at midfield and attempted to lure State off sides. A State player did jump, but quickly returned before making contact, and as ffe got back the Auburn center snapped the ball and the Tigers were dropped for no gain on the fourth-down play, with State taking B-44 V-J4 Punts GREAT SAVINGS! HURRY! WHILE SUPPLY LASTS! 24 3-2 2-0 of selecting his preferred players with no second thoughts on their physical condition.

"Now it depends on how they play when they're healthy," said McKay, feeling more un-der-the-weather than anyone else. He has the flu. If the Bucs can reproduce their last game against the Eagles, you can chalk up a W. In its first playoff fete ever, Tampa Bay triumphed. The 24-17 score does not do justice to the winners' dominance.

"NOBODY EXPECTED our team to win it," said quarterback Doug Williams, smiling at the memory. The principal performer was Ricky Bell, who rushed for 142 yards and two touchdowns. How times have changed. Bell has been gathering rust on the bench for a month. McKay, whose ties with Bell extend back to their reign at Southern Cal, said Bell may play today, but the tailback who more excites him is James Owens.

Owens was recruited to UCLA years ago by Dick Vermeil, who now coaches the Eagles. Owens said Vermeil told him to forget about being a running back. "He said I was too small." Evidently, the San Francisco 49ers thought the same. Owens did become a ball-carrier at UCLA, but he was switched to wide receiver in the pros. McKay has tried to rectify that, with encouraging results so far.

Owens has 28 yards in five totes. The quarterbacks are unchanged from the '79 playoff game, other than the fact they have gotten better. Jaworski and Williams stand 3-4 in the formularized NFC quarterback ratings. Williams' only statistical black eye, a historically low completion percentage, is clearing up as he nears 50 percent. But he vows not to throw dink passes just to raise the figure to the magic mark.

"If I can throw it 70 yards downfield to a man, I'll take the 70-yarders," he said. IT WOULD NOT surprise Jaworski if Williams hit a few of them. "I don't think any team has played a bad game against us," said the man they call Jaws. In separate interviews, the two discussed whether last week's disappointments would carry over. The Bucs reversed roles with Oakland.

They were denied a first down for two quarters by a Raider team that had not scored in three games. The Eagles did not starve for points at Minnesota, but gave up plenty. "I don't believe they thought Minnesota could beat them because the Vikings are in the NFC Central," Williams said. If Eagles have memories, they know the Bucs can beat them. And Jaworski does not buy the theory that a loss was beneficial by relieving tension that comes with being unbeaten.

The Eagle offense usually concentrates on tailback Wilbert Montgomery, a bosom buddy of Bucs' tight end Jimmie Giles when they were youngsters in Greenville, Miss. "He's their bell cow," says McKay. Montgomery has rung up decent numbers this year, especially with injuries to Philly fullbacks. "WE LIKE TO have him touch the ball 25 or 30 times a game," said Jaworski, who has aimed less this season at All-Pro receiver Harold Carmichael. The Eagle defense is a near-replica of last year's, except Al Chesley has filled in for injured and probably finished Bill Bergey, the venerable linebacker.

"Where we miss Bergey most, I think, is his leadership," Vermeil said. Returning to the Eagles roster Saturday was safety John Sciarra, who has been on the team's injured-reserve list since dislocating his right shoulder in the season opener against the New York Giants. Noting Vermeil's anger at defeating New Orleans only 31-14 two weeks ago, McKay said, "Dick may be getting to the point in life where he gets greedy." Not McKay. "If we can beat Philadelphia, we'll come off this three-game road trip with two out of three, and that's not bad," he said. "We have practiced better than last week, when our players looked like they were saving up their energy to get on the plane." CLEMSON, S.C.

Cliff Austin and Jeff McCall rushed for a touchdown each as fourth-ranked Clemson defeated North Carolina State 17-7 in the Atlantic Coast Conference Saturday. The Tigers used a balanced rushing attack to improve their overall record to 7-0 and their ACC mark 3-0. The Wolfpack is 4-3 and 2-3. The victory was not assured until McCall burst up the middle for a 15-yard touchdown with 8:30 left in the game. N.C.

State jumped to a 7-0 lead when tailback Larmount Lawson scooted off right tackle eight minutes into the game for a 13-yard touchdown. The score was the first rushing touchdown allowed this year by the Clemson defense, which has given up two TDs in the air. Todd Auten kicked the extra point. Donald Ig-webuike kicked a 39-yard field goal late in the first quarter and Bob Paulling converted both extra-point kicks for Clemson 's other points. Fumbles-lost Penalties-yards Time of possession 6-46 9-75 32:10 27:50 EACH 5-0 since quarterback Tommy Kramer's re-entrance to the lineup, could widen the gap today.

They play at St. Louis. The game will also show how effectively Tampa Bay can climb off the mat after a nasty knockout. The Bucs were floored 18-16 on a last-seconds field-goal block a week ago by Oakland, which fried the Eagles in the latest Super Bowl. The Eagles also may need smelling salts because a 35-23 defeat last Sunday to the Vikings was their first since the Raiders routed them in January.

In addition, Philadelphia (6-1) must resist a glance ahead one week to its next opponent, Dallas, the chief competition in the NFC East. Today's kickoff was to have been delayed until Monday night if the baseball Phillies had reached that Almost-Winter Classic, the World Series. But the Phils' elimination freed Veteran Stadium, which was a convenient development for Eagles quarterback Ron Jaworski. He averages 164 in a Monday night bowling league. LESS THAN 100 miles from the stadium, patrons of the casinos at Atlantic City, N.J., can wager legally on the game, which has Philadelphia as a nine-point favorite.

The margin seems steep in view of the low-scoring potential. The Bucs are lower-middle-class in league scoring, and Philadelphia is 33 points off last season's pace. Meanwhile, the Eagles rank second in scoring defense, and the Bucs are fifth. But the Bucs must forget the substance that is under their feet: namely, Astroturf. Their only two games on the bogus blades this season at Kansas City and at Chicago were their worst.

They went 1-4 on artificial surfaces last year. On the positive side, the Bucs have not been this healthy since they registered at training camp in mid-summer.

11. Modell had accused referee Ben Dreith's crew of "choking up" in the game, saying at the time: "I'm not going to talk about specific calls. I just think it was a very badly called game. It's the first time in 21 years I've ever done anything like that, but I'm not sorry." Modell revealed the fine, levied by NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle, upon returning to Cleveland from league meetings in New York on Friday. "I knew I was in violation of the rules when I made my comments following the Steelers' game," he said in a prepared statement.

"I considered Mr. Rozelle's action appropriate and will have no further comment regarding the situation." CHILDS INJURED: The Los Angeles Rams placed tight end Henry Childs on the injured reserve list Saturday because of a broken foot he suffered in last Sunday's game against Dallas. A club spokesman said rookie defen sive end Greg Meisner, a first-year player from Pittsburgh, will replace Childs in today's game against the 49ers in San Francisco. Meisner had been on the injured reserve list with a non-football injury. Childs will be out at least a month, the spokesman said.

49ERS' MOVES: The San Francisco 49ers reactivated tight end Eason Ramson, who had been on the injured list, and waived linebacker Jim Looney Saturday. Ramson suffered a knee injury this summer and another early in the National Football League season. Looney, a rookie from Purdue, was signed as a free agent Oct. 17 and played in last Sunday's game against Green Bay. 'id SIMONINI ACTIVATED: The Baltimore Colts Saturday activated linebacker Ed Simonini from the injured reserve list and said he would start Sunday's game against Cleveland.

The Colts also placed linebacker Mike Woods on the injured reserve list. A Colts spokesman said an exploratory operation indicated no major surgery was needed on Woods' injured knee. Tennessee 0 1528 0 0 ST. PETERSINfi 3201-39th AVE. NORTH PHONE: S26-9084 MIAMI The Miami Dolphins waived veteran defensive lineman Mike Fultz Saturday and activated running back Eddie Hill, who could see some action in today's National Football League game against the Dallas Cowboys.

Hill, who the Dolphins acquired from the Los Angeles Rams during the preseason, returns to the club from the injured reserve list where he spent four weeks after suffering an ankle injury on the first play of the club's 30-10 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sept. 10. The third-year pro from Memphis State entered the regular season as a backup to Tony Nathan, but1 his performance in a season-opening triumph over St. Louis earned him a starting berth against the Steelers. Hill rushed five times for 41 yards before being injured.

Fultz, a fourth-year pro from Nebraska, played three years with New Orleans before the Dolphins signed him five weeks ago.
