Wisconsin State Journal, Monday, September 1 5, 1 980 Section 3, Page 3 24 yards, as the Eagles drove for their fourth touchdown in the third quarter. Kramer, who tossed for 395 yards last week against Atlanta, was sacked twice and forced to hurry his passes most of the day. He completed 16 of 39 attempts for 178 yards and one interception. Steve Dils hit four of five for 19 yards late in the fourth quarter. BLOOMINGTON, Minn.

(AP) -The streaking Philadelphia Eagles put their multi-dimensional offense on overtime Sunday, rolling up 529 yards and grinding the Minnesota Vikings into submission with a 42-7 National ootball League triumph. "A lot of guys look back to our playoff loss against Tampa Bay last year with bitterness," said Eagles quarterback Ron Jaworski. "We're not going to forget it; we're going to lake it out on some people this year." The result was the worst defeat for a Bud Grant-coached Minnesota team since 1967, when the Vikings lost, 39-3, to the Los Angeles Rams. "What difference does it make what the score is if you get beat'" asked Grant. "The best thing about the loss is that the local newspaper was on strike." Although some observers are calling Philadelphia the NFC's top contender for the Super Bowl, Eagles' Coach Dick Vermeil refused to look that far ahead.

"We're just thinking about next week," he said. "You have to play like a champion before you become one. We're not that good and fhey're not that bad." Wilbert Montgomery and Leroy 45-yard bomb early in the fourth quarter. The Eagles, spearheaded by defensive end Claude Humphrey's three sacks, held the Vikings without a first down in the third quarter and to less than 40 yards rushing for the game. Minnesota (1-1) scored in the second quarter on Tommy Kramer's 16-yard pass to Ahmad Rashad.

The Eagles, ho beat the Vikings for the first time in eight tries, collected 280 yards passing and 249 on the ground. Montgomery, who rushed for 1,412 yards a year ago, took advantage of some fine blocks by Harris to record the 15th 100-yard rushing day of his four-year career. Perry Harrington had 23 yards on four attempts, while Harris and Lou Giammona had 22 yards each. Ted Brown was Minnesota's leading rusher with only 28 yards on 10 carries. The Vikings have rushed for just 109 yards in the first two regular season games.

Carmichael, whose pass-reception string dates back to the fourth game of the 1972 season, was shut out in the first half. But the 6-foot-8 wide receiver finished with four catches, good for 95 yards, including grabs of 20 and Ron Jaworski Harris each ran for two touchdowns. Harris scored on runs of two and four yards while Montgomery scored on a one-yard plunge and a 72-yard burst around left end for the longest run of his pro career. Jaworski, the NFL's leading passer entering the game, completed 20 of 26 passes for 234 yards and two touchdowns. Jaworski hit on 11 of 12 in the second half, including a 13-yard scoring pass to Harold Carmichael, who has now caught passes in 114 consecutive games.

Jaworski also hit Scott Fitzkee on a 2-- Wilbert Montgomery plunges to score against Vikings. AP Laserphoto Bears top Saints Hancock's clutch putt wins Hall of Fame golf passes to Wes Chandler for 18 and 12 yards. But the drive bogged down, and Erxleben kicked his 26-yard field goal. The Bears came right back with Phipps' touchdown pass to Fisher. It was Fisher's first NFL reception.

After grabbing the ball at the Saints' 35-yard line, he broke away from cor-nerback Ray Brown and sped down the sidelines for the score. Early in the second quarter, Len Walterscheid intercepted a Manning pass on the Chicago 26. The Bears then used up 8 minutes, 20 seconds of the clock on a 57-yard drive which ended with Thomas booting a 34-yard field goal with 1:52 left in the half. That score gave Chicago a 13-3 edge at halftime. New Orleans had only one scoring threat in the second half.

That came early in the third quarter when the Saints moved to the Chicago 15-yard line on the passing of Manning. But Erxleben missed a 35-yard field goal attempt. PINEHURST, N.C. (AP) A 60 foot birdie putt on the first hole propelled Phil Hancock to his first career victory Sunday in the Hall of Fame golf tournament. That surprise birdie "I was just trying to two-putt and the hole got in the way," he said staked the quiet, low-key Hancock to a two-shot lead and he led by at least that margin until taking a meaningless bogey on the final hole.

After that opening birdie "the guys had to come to me," Hancock He fired a front-running, 1-under-par 70 and the challenge of a group of veterans bunched just off the pace failed to materialize.

"It doesn't seem to be the same (problem) as he had before," said Dr. Clarence Livingood, the Tigers' team physician, who spoke with the 1976 American League rookie of the year Saturday morning.

Livingood's comments appeared in Sunday's editions of the Detroit Free Press.

One Hampton sack of Manning came in the closing seconds of the first half and Manning left the game with a broken nose, but returned in the second half wearing a special face mask for protection. Payton's 69-yard run was the longest of his career for a touchdown. Manning completed 15 of 27 passes for 168 yards with two interceptions. The Bears made the initial first down of the game on their second possession when Phipps hit Payton with a 10-yard screen pass down to the Saints' 28-yard line.

Payton carried twice more for eight yards, but Dave Williams failed to make the first down and Thomas connected on his 37-yard field goal. After the ensuing kickoff, New Orleans made four successive first downs with Chuck Muncie rushing for 17 and 24 yards between Manning his five field goals Sunday. AP Laserphoto ayton, CHICAGO (AP) Walter Payton broke loose for a 69-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter and the Chicago Bears forward wall sacked Saints quarterback Archie Manning five times Sunday for a 22-3 National Football League victory over New Orleans. Payton carried 18 times for a total of 183 yards, including a wasted 61-yard run in the third quarter. That gallop carried the Bears to the New Orleans' 19-yard line, but the offense stalled and Chicago came up empty on the drive.

Chicago's other touchdown came on a 56-yard pass from Mike Phipps to rookie Bob Fisher in the first quarter. The Bears added field goals of 37 and 34 yards by Bob Thomas, and one of the sacks of Manning by Alan Page resulted in a two-point safety in the third quarter. Page had two sacks, as did Dan Hampton.

About his offense, Starr said, "We have the capacity, but not the consistency.

We were moving well even at the start of the fourth quarter, but a penalty and a sack put us in trouble again." But Starr did not have ready answers for all the tough questions. Asked why the Packers could contain Payton and not Sims, Starr shook his head and said: "I don't know. I just don't know." But he seemed to accept the fact that Detroit was that much better than his team when he said, "I don't think we had any letdown from the Bears' game." Starr would not accept the theory try -4v t. SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Paul Hofer ran 26 yards for a touchdown in the final minute of the fourth quarter, sending the game into overtime, and Ray Wersching kicked a 33-yard field goal to give the San Francisco 49ers a 24-21 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals Sunday.

Wersching's winning kick came four minutes into the extra period of the National Football League game, and two plays by flofer helped set up the field play. St. Louis won the toss of the coin before the overtime, received the kickoff but did not get a first down. The 49ers went from their 32-yard line to the St. Louis 16 with the help of a 15-yard pass reception and an 18-yard run by Hofer.

The 49ers drove 80 yards in less than a minute for the late touchdown by Hofer, who scored on a sweep to the right side. The 49ers, 2-0 this season, matched their victory total for the entire 1979 campaign. St. Louis fell to 0-2. 4 relish 'y I course.

Murray maul Packers EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) Mark Moseley's 45-yard field goal with 1 minute, 55 seconds to play gave the Washington Redskins a 23-21 National Football League victory Sunday over the New York Giants points during that time. Sims set up a touchdown when he circled left end all alone and beat the Packer defenders to the one-yard line.

He then jumped over everybody for the touchdown. There were 32 seconds left now. But on the Packers' next play from scrimmage, Charlie Weaver intercepted a Dickey pass and got out of bounds at the Packer 48. DanieLson hit Fred Scott at the 26. And Murray kicked a third field goal this one 46 yards as time ran out in the half.

Detroit is now 2-0 and looking good. The Packers are now 1-1. The Packers now go on the road to Los Angeles Sunday. The Rams are having trouble, having lost to Detroit and to Tampa Bay Thursday night. Whether the Rams are in enough trouble to let the Packers get healthy remains to be seen.

The most interesting aspect of the Lions' play was the superb performance by their rookie field goal kicker, Murray. Murray is a seventh-round draft choice out of Tulane. He kicks soccer-style. In addition to kicking five field goals, he hung beautiful kick-offs nearly into the end zone and kept the Packers on their heels all day.

Murray kicked field goals on the first two Lions' possessions the first for 32 yards, the second for 39, right at the start of the second quarter. When the Packers scored, it looked like they might hold it and get into the dressing room with it at the half. But no. The Lions got possession at the Packer 40 with less than two minutes to play.
