PENNANT PLAYOFF AGAINST CINCY STARTS SATURDAY Bucs scuttle Mets to win title PRO FOOTBALL STANDINGS National Conference East Division W. T. Pta, OP Dallas 2 0 0 1.000 45 17 AS HUSKERS WIN, 28-0 Nebraska Black Shirts halt Army on ground, 18 yds. Giving the Huskers their offen all the way," said the jubiliant skipper, who returned to the Pirates' helm this season fallowing a two-year hiatus to find himself embroiled In one of the most desperate races in NL In completing a three-game weekend sweep, the Pirates mathematically eliminated both the Mets and the Chicago Cubs, whose hopes expired despite a 5-3 victory over Philadelphia. The Pirates' have a 4'-game bulge over Chicago with three to play.

Cincinnati's West Division champs, who will take on the Pirates in the pennant playoffs beginning Saturday- at Pittsburgh's new Three Rivers Stadium, beat Los Angeles 8-5. Elsewhere, Montreal nipped St. Francisco topped San Diego 3-2 and Houston bombed Atlanta 10-7. In the American League, Baltimore shaded Cleveland 4-3, the New York Yankees defeated Detroit 4-2, Milwaukee drubbed the Chicago White Sox 9-3, Boston walloped Washington 10-1, Kansas City edged Minnesota 4-3 and California slammed Oakland 9-4. i The Pirates, hobbled by Injuries to key players and without either a 20-game winner or 100-RBI man, earned their half-pennant by winning 10 of 14 games down the stretch including six of.

seven against the defending champion Mets. After seizing the division lead last Aug. 2, they plodded along at a 19-20 clip for the next six weeks. But neither New York By DICK COUCH 1 Associated Press Sports Writer Two short weeks ago, the National League's East Division championship was a prize catch nobody sefcmed willing, or able, to make Today, the Pittsburgh Pirates hold the prize In their hot hands and the twinkle in Danny Irish eyes is brighter than it's been in a decade of treasure-hunting. The swaggering Bucs scuttled the New York Mets 2-1 Sunday to capture the elusive division crown their first title since Manager Murtaugh steered them to a World Series conquest of the New York Yankees 10 years ago.

"This had to be more exclt-jng, because it was nip and tuck SIMMONS TRIPLE enough and said he could see it coming all week." Devaney Indicated It was more of a technical discussion. In any event, the Huskers settled down, racked up two touchdowns in the third quarter and scored again early in the fourth quarter. The win sends Nebraska against Minnesota at Minneapolis this week with a 2-0-1 record. Army now 1-2. meets Tennessee.

Nebraska's defensive Black Shirts earned kudoes Saturday, holding the Cadets to 18 yards on the ground. A furious pass rush, often led by middle guard Ed Periardl repeatedly threw Army quarterbacks for losses. And the No. 2 defensive unit showed Its mettle by stopping an Army drive late in the game, after the Cadets had managed a first down on Nebraska's two-yard line. I nor Chicago could win often enough to dislodge them.

On Sept. 13, the Cubs rallied for, two runs after center fielder Matty Alou dropped a two-out fly ball in the ninth inning and stunned the Pirates 3-2. But the Mets, with a chance to grab the top spot, bowed to St. Louis 5-4 in 13 Innings. That left Pittsburgh' clinging to a one-half game lead, with the third place Cubs Just one game off the ace.

Obviously, the critics declared, it was a race nobody wanted to win. The Pirates have been disproving that theory ever since. Pittsburgh's much-maligned pitching staff allowed only 33 runs in the decisive 14-game stretch run. Their vaunted attack dropped off, due in part to Roberto Clemente's nagging back ailment, but they continued to hit in the pinches. Sunday's clincher was their fifth one-run decision in the seven games against New York and third in as many days, "Everybody says we don't have any pitching," said Dock Ellis, the winner Sunday with late hehv from relief ace Dave Giusti.

"But that's just not true. How can anybody knock our pitching now?" 1 The Mets nicked Ellis, 13-10, for their lone run in the first inning, ex-Pirate Donn Clendenon driving it home with' a one-out, bases-loaded single. But Ellis got Ken Boswell to bounce into a double play to end the damage and worked out of a none-out, bases-loaded jam in the fifth. In the eighth, he gave way to Giusti, who picked up his 26th save. A record Pittsburgh crowd of 50,469 saw the Pirates tie the game in the third on Dave Cash's single and a run-scoring double by Ctemente.

An inning later, they pushed over the winning run against Jim McAndrew on Richie Hebner's double, a walk, Matty Alou's single and Cash's bases-loaded sacrifice fly. The Mets stranded 6 base-runners and hit into 16 double plays in the seven critical games against Pittsburgh. "I feel we didn't deserve it," said Clendenon, who had picked the Pirates to win the division before the season started. "We just didn't play good ball when we had to." In Philadelphia, the Cubs paid tribute to the new champs after salvaging the finale of a fatal three-game set; "They didn't win it by sitting back and letting others do it for them," said Joe Pepitone. "They won the big one.

We gave It our best, but it wasn't Cubs ace Ferpson Jenkins nailed his 21st victory with a four-hitter and doubled home a seventh Inning run before scoring what proved to be the winner on a single by Don Kessin-ger. Gary Nolan, Cincinnati's probable starting pitcher in the playoff opener, broke a 4-4 deadlock with a two-run single in the fifth, leading the Reds past the Dodgers and gaining his 18th victory. Lee May clubbed his 34th homer for the Reds, Carl Morton, Montreal's rookie pitching flash, also won his 18th, scattering nine St. fcouis hits before the Expos broke a scoreless knot in the 11th on Adolfo Phillips' run-producing single. The Giants moved one game ahead of Los Angeles in their battle for second place in the West as Gay'ord Perry scattered seven-hits for his 23rd trluph and Alan Gallagher's double keyed a two-run comeback in the sixth.

Cesar Cedeno's three-run homer, and bases-empty blasts by Jim Wynn and Bob Watson powered Houst past the skidding Braves, whose fifth straight setback dropped them Into fifth place in the West. Gymnasts winners over GI, Hastings By ODELL HANSON LINCOLN (AP) Nobody's saying, precisely what Nebraska football coach Bob Devaney told his Comhuskers during the half time Intermission Saturday, but whatever it was, it was enough to prompt a second half surge good for a 28-0 victory over Army. An offensively unimpressive first half although the defense was superb from start to finish had put Nebraska In the dressing room ahead only 7-0. Fumbles and penalties had kept the Huskers off the scoreboard until less than five minutes remained of the second quarter, when Jerry Tagge hit Johnny Rodgers with a 43-yard touchdown pass. "Coach Devaney gave us a good talking to at halftime," Rodgers.

(AP) Teddy Mayer, Team McLaren manager, felt a change in engines for Denis Hulme would be the thing to start a new streak In the Canadian-American Challenge Cup series.

Hulme, a New Zealander, finished second to New York's Peter Revson Saturday in the qualifying runs. "I didn't like it," said Mayer, "so we put in a different one." Sq Hulme, now pushing a 430-cubic inch Chevrolet instead of a 465, roared to victory Sunday in the $83,000 Minneapolis Tribune Can Am at Donnybrooke Speedway in central Minnesota. Revson, who also swapped mills when his Lola 465 lost three rocker arms after a record qualifying run, finished in third place behind McLaren racer Peter Gethin of England. Hulme's victory, worth $12,000, gave McLaren its first checkered flag since a 19-race winning streak was broken two weeks ago at 'Atlanta. And it moved Hulme into a commanding lead in the Can-Am point standings with 92.

Lothar Mot-schenbacher of Beverly Hills, was only six points behind Hulme before the race but finished in sixth place in his McLaren MK12. Hulme clocked an average speed of 117.570 miles per hour around the three-mile track north of Brainerd, beating Gethin by a full minute in the 210-mile race. In other top auto races, George Follmer of Arcadia, won the SCAA Continental Series championship race at Lexington, Ohio, driving a Ford; and Clay Regazzoni of Switzerland wheeled his Tecno to victory in the Grand Prix of Imola Formula 2 race in Italy.

He not only broke the scoring ice with his 43-yard pass catch, but scored another TD on a 26-yard throw from Tagge, and set up another touchdown with a darting 38 -yard punt return which brought the Memorial Stadium crowd of 66,928 to Its feet. Joe Orduna made this chance good on a two yard plunge.

Quarterback Van Brownson made his first game appearance of the season and proved that his sore elbow still works. He hit Woody Cox with a 31 yard tDUCiwown pass.
