By MARTY WILLIAMS Dally News Sports Writer CINCINNATI The Cincinnati Bengals' offensive and defensive units didn't stop throwing bouquets at each other Monday night until the last man left the locker room. As was the case In the two previous victories over Houston and Cleveland, Monday's 20-12 nationally televised decision over Los Angeles was a combination of offensive firepower and defensive staying power. The Bengal defense forced the Rams into four turnovers, Including the game-breaker early in the second half.

L.A. was sitting on a scant 6-0 lead, but was the obviously superior team until Gary Burley forced a fumble by quarterback James Harris that was recovered by Ken Riley on the nine-yard line. Boobie Clark scored on the next play and the offense drove for TDs on the next two possessions while the defenders got some much-needed rest. "THE BEST THING about this ball club," said tight end Bob Trumpy, "is that the defense gives us so many ways to win. This is the type of thing that gives us a great deal of character." Not to be outdone, Burley added, "The 20 If a free agent signs a one-year contract, may he play that one year, then refuse to sign a contract the second year and go back into the Re-Entry Draft again after the second year? A Yes.

He again would take a 20 per cent salary cut on his option year. Example: Gullett could sign a one-year 1977 contract with the Dodgers. Then, he could refuse to sign a 1978 contract, taking the 20 per cent pay cut. He would go into the 1978 Re-Entry Draft and sign with another team for the 1979 season. That's it.

CINCINNATI (UPI) The new 40-player winter roster of the world champion Cincinnati Reds has been announced and it is most noteworthy for the absence of a seven-year Reds veteran pitcher Don Gullett. Gullett, who played out his option, is now a free agent negotiating with the Reds and 12 other teams for his services next season.

The roster, announced Monday by club officials, also marks the shuffling of several minor leaguers. The Reds promoted seven youngsters from their farm system, while trading three and demoting three others. Pitchers Mike LaCoss and Dan Dumoulin, infielders Ron Oester and Mike Grace and outfielders Steve Henderson and Dan Norman were moved to the major league roster from Three Rivers, the Reds' farm team in the Class AA Eastern League. They were joined by Mario Soto, a pitcher up from the Class A Tampa team of the Florida State League. THE CONTRACTS of three minor leaguers outfielder Tommy Spencer and pitcher Mike Thompson and Tom Carroll, who had pitched several games for the Reds were traded at the minor league level.

The Reds obtained the contracts of in-fielder Hugh Yancy from Iowa (a Chicago White Sox farm team) for Spencer, pitcher Jim Sadowskl from Charleston (a Pittsburgh Pirates farm team) for Carroll and pitcher Art De-Filippis from Sacramento (a Texas Rangers farm team) for Thompson. Yancy, Sadowski and DeFilippis were all assigned to Indianapolis, the Reds' Class AAA farm team In the American Association. Demoted from the previous 40-man roster were pitchers Mac Scarce, Rich Hinton and Lorin Grow. They were assigned outright to Indianapolis. Pitt coach Johnny Majors (center) gets pinned with a "No.

1, OSU loses ground Prom Daly News Wire Services It was expected that Pittsburgh would move from second to first in both The Associated Press and United Press International college football polls following Michigan's stunning 16-14 loss to Purdue. But what comes as a surprise is Ohio State's lack of movement upward, despite its solid 42-10 romp over Illinois.

NATURALLY, the Pitt Panthers were delighted. The No.
