Going into the final weekend of the regular season, five playoff berths have yet to be decided, leaving only the defending champion Miami Dolphins, the Minnesota Vikings and the Los Angeles Rams on easy street with 11-2 records and division crowns. Thus, the lirst half of a nationally-! elevised doubleheader Saturday, beginning at 1 p.m. EST on CBS between the Amer ican Conference East champion Dolphins and 6-6-1 Detroit is merely a preliminary to the AFC Central title fight. That bout begins at 4 p.m. EST on NBC when the Steelers meet the San Francisco 49ers, but it's not over when the game ends, whether the Steelers win, lose or draw.

Other titles lunging on weekend games are the AFC West and National Conference East crowns, plus the AFC and NFC teams. For those who understand the high stakes of pro football playoffs, ponder this situation in the AFC Central title fight: Both Pittsburgh and the Cincinnati Bengals are 9-4 in the division. It Pittsburgh wins Saturday and it Cincinnati loses to 1-12 Houston Sunday, the Steelers are champions and Cincinnati gets into the playolls as the wild-card team. Rams Club Cubs STAFF REPORT The Rogers Junior High Rams made it seven a row, as the clubbed the Camden cubs, 52-39.

In the eighth game it was Camden getting the edge by a 3531 count. High tor the Cubs was Paul Bates with 11 while the Rams were paced by Pete Parks with 18. Rogers will play again Tuesday evening at 6 in against the Barton Kittens at the El Dorado High School Gymnasium Aaron Records 473 Batting Records SAN FRANCISCO (AP) The big one got away, but Hank Aaron, wlio is pursuing Babe Ruth's home run record broke quite a few major league batting records last baseball ol them his own, official National League statistics released Friday show, Aaron, who needs one more home run to tie lifetime total ol 714, added to his own major league records in a dozen categories. 'The major ones were: Most total bases, lifetime, most consecutive seasons with 20 or more home runs, 19; most runs batted in, lifetime, 2,133, most sacrifice flies, lifetime, ill, most consecutive seasons playing 100 or more games, 20. One major league mark was newly acquired by the Atlanta Braves outfielder in 1973 most long hits, lifetime, 1,393, surpassing the 1.377 record Stan Musial held lor 10 years Aaron had a slugging percentage of last season but fell 38 plate appearances short ol the minimum 502 required lo qualify tor the slugging championship His percentage would have ranked him runner-up to Willie Stargell of Pittsburgh.

Stargell had a .646 slugging percentage and Darrell Evans of Atlanta was second at .556. Atlanta became the first major league club to have three 40-plus home run hitters one season Aaron, 40, Evans, 41, and Dave Johnson J3. The Braves led in team slugging percentage with .427. both teams tie, Pittsburgh takes the title because it owns a better intra -division record. both teams win, the roles are reversed because the gals would wind up with a better intra -conference record.

1 both teams lose and if 742 Cleveland beats Los Angeles, Sunday, the Browns enter the picture with a three-way tie. In that case, Pittsburgh still wins the title and the Browns would have to match conference ratings points scored and points allowed with Buffalo, assuming the Bills beat the Jets, for the wild-card spot. The final option is if the lers win and the Bengals and Browns lose, the Steelers get the crown, the Bengals would I eliminated due to a poorer intra division record and the Browns would contest Bulfalo lor the wild-card spot. Other playoff berths to be decided this weekend are the AFC West and National Conference East winners and the NFC team. The AFC West title is the least complicated.

The Oakland Raiders, 8-4 1, and the Denver Broncos, 7-4-2, go head-to-head lor the crown Sunday in Oak land The winner takes the title and the loser leaves empty- handed. A tie? Oakland is in and Denver is out In the NFC East, basically a duel between Dallas and Washington, each with a 94 season mark II Dallas beats the 4 8-1 Cards at St Sun day and Washington tops 5 7-1 guest Philadelphia, it simple the Cowboys get the title and the Redskins get the wild-card berth. But if one wins and the other loses, watch out If the 8 5 Atlanta Falcons beat 5-8 New Orleans in Atlanta Sunday, they could swoop down and fly away with a piece of the action It only Washington wins, the theirs and the Cowboys and the Falcons vie for the wild card on the basis of points scored and points given up against conference foes If only Dallas wins, or if neither wins, then the Cowboys get the title and the Redskins and Falcons must match conference records. Buffalos possibilities for post season action depend to a large extent on AFC Central Division results Pittsburgh and Cleveland have to win, and Cincinnati has to lose That would give the Bills a shot at a wild card berth.
