'If. "Baltimore's offense will provide much the same challenge as did the 49ers," reasoned Landry after his team of desire beat San Francisco 17-10 on Sunday in chilly Kezar Stadium to capture the championship of the National Football Conference.

St. Louis 38-0 and early in the season had fallen to Minnesot by an astounding 54-13. By SAM BRIDGETS The United States was saved from a great crisis Ordinarily, such an averted tragedy as the one that was prevented by.a small group of federal agents then wouldn't be heard about until some; famous man revealed it in his posthumously, published memoirs. Fortunately, there, was a leak, and I'm humbled and honored to be tell the public of a act that saved this nation from mass hysteria. The source of my information must remain secret, but Jet me just say that it was a high-ranking official, close to Federal Bureau of Intimidation head J.

Egbert Humbug. This is the story he tells About about 4 p. m. last Monday morning, 'one federal agent on: a routine information check on a certain liberal senator, noticed a a inscription on the bathroom wall oE a "Washington YMCA. Scribbled in a crude fashion were these wb'rds: 1 1 LV Try tuning in for Johnny Ui, Or focusing on Blarida's toe.

You'll not see either one. Brodie "will'be absent too, And Cowboy fans will feel great woe. S.O.S..will have its fun. At first the agent thought the words must have some hidden drug message, but then he determined that perhaps the S.O.S., that notorious group of activist militant destroyers, Students for an Omphaloskepsic Society, was ready with another insidious blow to the Silent Majority that it seeks to destroy. The one of the sharpest, immediately reported to his chief.

Criminologists were sent to analyze the ominous bit of doggerel. They determined that it was a poor poem and had been written with a No. 1 pencil, but otherwise were up against a wall. Meanwhile, the nation's top were warned that something was up, though no one was sure quite what. Lights burned late at government buildings as the nation's top thinkers searched for clues.

Then anonymous phone calls began coming in. The first was a muffled voice that "the best way to kill a pig is through.its skin!" Later, a voice filled with crazed laughter came-through yelling "Un-un-un, don't touch that dial!" By Friday night, the bureau was in a tizzy and privy officials were secretly packing their bags to leave the country. Finally, Delbert Bream, a lab technician who once had gotten Johnny Unitas' autograph, glanced at the warning from the wall. It was one of those Eureka situations. Delbert immediately recognized the names of three football players and a team.

"I bet they're going to try to do something to stop the playoffs." Delbert's bosses agreed. But what would the S.O.S. do? Surely not a kidnap attempt. Not on about two hundred of the country's toughest guys. But what? Finally, the clues and other relevant materials were fed into the bureau's computer, which said, with a sputter, SOS WILL ATTEMPT DISRUPTION OF PLAYOFFS TELECASTS.

Humbug, filled with the excitement of the chase about to begin, academically asked an assistant. "What would we do without computers?" Meanwhile, a thousand government agents, along with several snooper satellites, were mobilized to find the center from which the militants were operating. Finally, a newly-erected 1,000 foot tower about 15 miles outside of Floyd's Knob, was checked. Agents noticed some unusual activity and finally one man recognized revolutionary Abbie Hophead walking around outside the building. Saturday night, hundreds of lawmen armed to the teeth moved into the area of the tower.

As the sun rose Sunday morning, Humbug yelled through a bullhorn, "Alright, you ut- We ve got surrounded and we'll shoot to kill. The radicals opened fire from inside the tower, and, sure enough, the lawmen shot to kill. Within 15 minutes, there was no resistance. Agents approached the building carefully. Inside, they found only one young man still alive, and he was fast sinking.

With his Jast breath, he hissed, "Off the pigskin." A thorough search'revealed massive equipment for jamming airwaves and a couple of old film cans? Deeper investigation revealed that he.radicais evidently had planned to block out 8y games and put in their an old version of "Heidi." All agreed that It was a crime attempt of the most heinous sort, and all gave thanks that it failed. As Humbug observed "some people are really sick." bywsLivwi, And there was that'history of the Cowboys losing big games --title battles to Green Bay in 1966 and 1967 and failing to'get past the first playoff rounds the next two years. didn't repeat when they battled the With a tremendous running game powered by rookie Duane Thomas and gutsy Walt Garrison, Dallas beat the favored 49ers. That knocked off the second West Coast hopeful for the Super Bowl. Only hours earlier in Baltimore.

Ihe Colts whipped Oakland 27-17 in the American Conference finale. Landry declared the victory over the 49ers must take the loser onus" off his Cowboys-although he pointed out quickly 'there is one game left." He feels quarterbacks John Brodie of the 49ers and Johnny Unitas of the Colts present simi- ar problems. Brodie was fabulous this season and I think I aged 20 years the second half Sunday," he declared. "When you play Baltimore, you're playing another jreat pro in Unitas. "Baltimore, like San Francisco, is a passing team with great receivers.

They'll give us about he same challenge as did the 49ers." Thomas, a 220-pound rookie 'rom West Texas State, scored touchdown that broke a 3-3 tie in partisan Kezar and Garrison scored the one that made the final difference on a five- pass from quarterback Morton. First-half scoring came on a 16-yard field goal by Bruce Gossett of the 49ers and a 21-yarder by Dallas' Mike There were keys to the ry and keys to the previous games the Cowboys had won in succession after being only 5-4 after that one-sided loss to St. Louis.

I misread the blocks and started to go outside before I realized I was supposed to go inside tackle and when I corrected, the hole was still there," Thomas declared. "That shows just how great our line really is."

The eight teams in the league 'easted on outside opponents last weeky and won 14 of the 15 games they played.

The sola loss was in an Intel-conference game, in which there's got to be an ACC loser. All eight have winning records in all games. This week league teams play 10 games, and seven are in the Family.

The College Park contest, however, is the subject of a dispute. South Carolina Coach Frank McGuire said Sunday, "As a as I'm concerned, it will not be played there." He said he fears for his players' safety in the Maryland arena because of ill feelings due to a fight that occurred when the teams played at Columbia last month. No official decision has been reached 'by South Carolina, Maryland or ACC officials on any change in the schedule. i tali, talented squad blasted Clemson 81-53 Saturday, leading McGuire to say modestly: "We can play better but I'm 100 per cent satisfied with the win." He explained he used a full court press against the Tigers "to wake up my own team rather than rattle Clemson, but I think it did upset Clemson." Clemson mentor Tates Locke said, "there ought to be an investigation" if South Carolina doesn't go all the way; is best college club I've seen.

Colts Force Breaks In Victory BALTIMORE (AP)-The Baltimore Colts, doubted by their followers and outcasts in the American Football Conference, are on their way to the Super Bowl. Forcing the breaks which 'oach Don McCafferty said would make the difference, the Colts polished off the Oakland Raiders 27-17 to win the AFC title Sunday and debunk charges they had yet to prove themselves. Now it's on to Miami for a Jan. 17 Super Bowl date against the Dallas Cowboys, who defeated the.San Francisco 49ers 17-10 for the National Conference championship, and a shot at another $15,000 prize. The Colts collect a minimum $8,500 for whipipng the favored Raiders, but there was more money at stake.

"Maybe this will wipe out our game against Kansas'City which millions of people saw on television," said Dick Bielski, coach of Baltimore's receivers. Even Baltimore fans were willing to write off the Colts after they were manhandled 44-24 by the Chiefs in the second game of the season. Nothing the Colts did later changed the early season opinions. Even when they won the Eastern Division with an 11-2-1 record, the Colts were accused of having faced patsy opposition.
