"Against Kansas City they were great, against the Eagles going to play it until tomorrow (Wednesday). We are in the process of charting their defense." There was a better than even chance that Giant defensive tackle Jerry Shay would be back at his spot Sunday. Bruised Ribs After the Jet game last Sunday, it was announced that Shay had a possible fracture of the 10th and 12th ribs, but Tuesday Don Smith, Giants' public relations director, announced that Shay only had bruised and might be able to play.

Bob Hayes, who came out of coach Tom Landry's doghouse to start a game two weeks ago, has scored a touchdown in each of the Cowboys' last two games. Why was Hayes in the doghouse? "Coach Landry has a performance level which includes some four or five categories, and Hayes wasn't measuring up," said Curt Mosher, Dallas' public relations director. "And it wasn't because Hayes is playing out his option.

Landry only considers what's happening on the field." Hayes has caught 12 passes for 295 yards, and scored four touchdowns. Top Receiver Lance Rentzel is the Cowboys' lop pass receiver with 17 catches for 392 yards, and four touchdowns. NEW YORK Giant coach Alex Webster didn't know Tuesday which part of the Dallas Cowboys' offense he was going to start defensing first.

Kicked Out of Game, Says Taylor Flood Will Play For Washington As a result of the two -15-yard penalties, the Raiders kicked off from the Chiefs' 30-yard line. Taylor said before he left the field, he heard Oakland's middle linebacker, Dan Con-ncrs, arguing with an official and telling him that the Raiders wouldn't continue play if Taylor remained in the game. This. Taylor said, has led to his belief and to the belief of other Kansas City players that Conners influenced the and told him: "You gave them that three points by that lousy call."

Head Coach Give 'Rush had been placed on an indefinite leave of absence for health reasons but Rush denied it and said he was quitting. "I resigned at midnight last night," Rush told reporters after Patriots President Billy Sullivan had informed a news conference about the leave of absence and named offensive coach John Mazur as the National Football League team's interim head coach. Never Again "I will never coach this football team again," Rush added. Sullivan told newsmen that Rush was being placed on leave because of heart and blood pressure condition and would be relieved of all duties connected with the club until his doctor "says he can resume." He added that the coach, now at the midpoint of a three-year contract estimated to pay him about $40,000 a year, would receive full compensation during his leave. Rush, asked how his resignation announcement would affect his contract, told re-porters: "Pride is worth something." He said he would spend the next few days cleaning out his office at the club's training quarters at Curry College in nearby Milton, then "go fishing." Leaves Message He left a message with a secretary to answer future calls.

The message read: "It is not true that Coach Rush has taken a leave of absence. He has resigned. It's an inaccurate release Sullivan said that despite Rush's statement, the team's position remains the same and the offer of an indefinite leave with full compensation "still stands absolutley." Rush came to the Patriots after serving as Weeb Ew-bank's offensive coach with the New York Jets for several years and helping them to the Super Bowl championship at the end of the 1968 season. His first Patriots team last year lost its first seven games but came on to finish with a 4-10 record. This year the club is 1-6 to date.

NFL officials have maintained he was not ejected. The game, marked by a fist fight in which Tazlor was the principal figure, ended in a 17-17 tie when Oakland's George Blanda kicked a 48-yard field goal with three seconds remaining.

With one minute left in the game, Taylor attacked Raiders' defensive end Ben Davidson after the latter piled on Chiefs' quarterback Len Dawson. Davidson was charged with unnecessary roughness. Long Melee The melee continued eight or 10 minutes. Both teams were assessed 15-yard penalties which offset each other and caused Dawson's 19-yard run to be nullified. The ball was returned to the original" scrimmage line near midfield, and two plays later, the Chiefs had to punt.

"They had to put the blame on somebody, and I got it," Taylor said. "I don't know which one told me I was out cf the game. I can't pinpoint it." "They didn't know who to blame. They were asking Len Dawson 'who started the fight. Gloster Richardson, Dave Hill and Jerry Mays (Chiefs players) all said they heard I was thrown out of the game." Mays said when the fighting ended, he saw the ball being returned to the Oakland 49, a yard off the spot where Dawson's bootleg play started, and he ran onto the field to ask the ruling on the play.

The decision, expected since last week when Flood indicated he would sign with the Senators, came out of a meeting here between Flood, Washington owner Bob ShoVt and baseball commissioner Bowie JCuhn. An announcement released simultaneously in Philadelphia and Washington said the Senators were giving the Phillies veteran utility man Greg Goossen and rookies Gene Martin, an outfielder-first baseman, and pitcher Jeff Terpko for the acquisition of Flood's contract. While 1 's celebrated $4.1 million anti-trust suit against baseball and the reserve clause system remains in the courts, his future on the field now seems certain for at least the 1971 baseball season.

Joins McLain At Washington, he joins one of baseball's other problem players, pitcher Denny McLain, another recent Short acquisition in a multi player trade with Detroit. Money appeared to be the main reason Flood ended his holdout. His contract with the Senators reportedly will call for a salary of about $110,000 a year, and Flood said last week "like everybody else, I've had some business reverses and I need the money." However, he added, "I still think the reserve clause stinks." Kuhn had said earlier any NEW YORK (APJ The Cy Young Award voted to Bobq Gibson Tuesday won't add a penny to his 1971 salary. That's because the flameth-rowing St. Louis right-hander has already agreed to a contract probably a record major league salary.

Gibson became the third man in history to win the Young Award as the top pitcher in his league, more than once since its inception in 1956. Denny McLain and Sandy Koufax were the other repeaters. Gibson, 23-7 for the Cardinals after winning only two games in the first six weeks of the 1970 season, received 23 of the 24 first place votes in balloting by the Baseball Writers Associationf America. The other first place ballot went to San Francisco's Gay-lord Perry, who finished second to Gibson in the voting. Gibson, the only hurler named on all 24 ballots, totaled 118 points.

Perry finished with 51 and Ferguson Jenkins of the Chicago Cubs had 16.

Flood claimed when he instituted his suit against baseball that the clause made players "slaves." A federal court judge ruled against him in New York, but he presently is appealing the decision. Avoids Press Following the New York meeting, Flood was reported to have left for Denmark, where he has made his home during the past year. He avoided the press.

But he wiped them out with strings of 10 and seven consecutive victories and went over the 20-victory mark for the third straight year. "I was as strong in 1970 as I was two years ago when I won the award," said Gibson, who celebrates his 35th birthday on Monday. "I had no arm trouble, but I get more tired every year.

The older you get, the harder it is." Gibson was one of the few bright spots for the Cardinals, who finished fourth in the National League's East Division. In all, 10 pitchers received mention from the 24 voters-two in each NL city. Reliever Dave Giusti of Pittsburgh and Jim Merritt, Cincinnati's 20-game winner, tied for fourth place with eight points and then came Cincinnati's Gary Nolan (5) Tom Seaver of the New York Mets, the 1969 winner, (4), Cincinnati reliever Wayne Granger (3) Carl Morton of Montreal (2), and Luke Walker of Pittsburgh (1). Procedure Change Gibson won his first Cy Young Award in 1968 when McLain took the AL award. McLain shared the 1969 AL award with Baltimore's Mike Cuellar, prompting a change in the voting procedure.

This year, three pitchers were named on each ballot with first place worth five second place three points and third place one. Koufax is the only three-time winner in the history of the Cy Young Award, having won in in 1963, 1965 and 1966. Gibson, always a work-hourse, started 24 games and pitched 294 innings for the cards last season. He struck out 274 batters, walked 88 and compiled a 3.12 earned run average in going over the 20-win mark for the fifth time in his 11-year career. His 23 victories last season marked Gibson's single season high.

He has a career record of 190-117 with an ERA under 3.00 and a 7-2 World Series log. The American League Cy Young winner will be named later this week.
