The Steelers, the only undefeated AFC club, have won their first four games Impressively. The team has scored more points 131 and allowed fewer 44 than any other in the conference. "I think they're even better this year than last season when they lost only three games," said Cincinnait Coach Paul Brown. "They're devastating." If the Steelers are devastating, the Bengals are devastated.

Cincinnati will go into the game with five starters sidelined by injuries, including both wide receivers. Charlie Joiner recovered from a nagging knee Injury in time to break his collarbone against Cleveland last week. He's out for the year. Chip Myers watched the In other National Football League garpes today.

Louis, the new York Giants host Washington and the Kansas City Chiefs meet the Green Bay Packers in Milwaukee. The Monday night game will be Miami at Cleveland.

Los Angeles boasts the NFL's top passer in John Hadl who threw for three touchdowns last week against Houston.

Minnesota, the league's other undefeated club, has a nine-game winning streak which includes five exhibition victories. The Viking defense has allowed only 41 points fewest in the NFL, The San Browns' game on crutches after re-Injuring a hamstring while warming up. Rookies Isaac Curtis and Tim George will get the call against Pittsburgh. A loss would drop the Bengals, 2-2 so far, three full games off the pace in their division, and that could be too much to make up. The Bengals can expect little mercy from the Steelers.

Pittsburgh Coach Chuck Noll is angry over the second half of last week's game against San Diego. The Steelers scored five of the first six times they had the ball while building a 38-0 lead at the But Noll cleared his bench in the second half and San Diego came back with 21 points while holding Pittsburgh scoreless. "I guarantee you I won't do that again even if it's 100-tonothing at the half," said Noll. "We took people out and you can't do that. "It's a lesson you learn and I keep learning It over and over.

You can 't stop it and then get it going again." Francisco offense is hurting with running backs Larry Schreiber and Jimmy Thomas out with injuries. John Brodie has thrown 100 passes this season for the 49ers but none for touchdowns. O.J. Simpson, coming off his fourth straight 100-yard rushing performance, has gained a league-leading 647 yards in 102 carries for Buffalo. The Bills.

3-1, can equal their victory total of last season with a triumph over the 1-3 Colts. Houston, still seeking its first victory, has lost center Bill Curry for the season with a broken leg. Denver speedster Floyd Little has scored six touchdowns bn the year. The Jets, playing their fifth consecutive road game, have lost two quarterbacks in the last three weeks and will have to go with either free agent Bill Demory or former CardinaJ Tim Van Galder.

Powerful Sooners Embarrass Texas DALLAS (AP) Sixth-ranked Oklahoma, led by sophomore Steve Davis, a 20-year-old licensed Baptist minister who is a Wishbone-T wizard, handed Texas Coach Darrell Royal the worst defeat of his career Saturday 52-13 in a nationally-televised embarrassment. The bad news for the Longhorns doesn't end there because all seven Oklahoma touchdowns in the slaughter were scored by plavers with at least two more years of eligibility remaining. It was the most points surrendered by the Longhorns in one game since 1908.

Davis threw two touchdowns passes and ran for two more scores as Oklahoma Coach Barry Switzer dreamed up "a special scheme" for the fast-reacting Texas secondary. Sophomore flanker Tinker Owens, who caught two touchdown passes, said: "We noticed in the films that (Texas safety) Tommy Keel always came up fast when he read a run. Their safety read the center to key for a pass or a run so we had the center fake the run and when Keel read the run I got behind him up the middle. It worked twice on Keel for touchdowns." A somber Royal said. "They caught us asleep twice.

"About all you can say after a defeat like that is that you lost to a vastly superior football team." Royal added.
