an act of charity, performed with a hand covering the mouth to keep the smirk from escalating to giggles and thence to guffaws. Here we stand, in the ninth week of Tampa Bay's second season, the 23rd game in all And still the Buccaneers are. to use a horse racing expression, maidens, without a victory-without so much as a tie--to look back upon. Looking ahead they see. in the final five weeks of the season.

Detroit. Atlanta. Chicago. New Orleans and St. Louis--all of them reasonably formidable fues.

Thus, if the Bucs are to avoid a second season of absolute humiliation, a victory must be achieved this Sunday against one of the few National Football League teams with an ineptitude in Tampa Bay's range. Welcome. New York Giants. It is. to be sure, an Upset Special of mammoth proportions, considering the Bucs have scored touchdowns in only three games this season and have been blanked in three others.

And coming on the heels of last week's horrendous 7-7 mark that out the Atlanta Routs Houston By BOB GREENE AP Sports Writer Atlanta's John Drew has been resting his injured leg and it reallv hurt the Houston Rockets. "Drew had a legitimate injury," Atlanta Hawks Coach Hubie Brown said. "He hasn't been practicing much to let his leg heal." So Drew and Ollie Johnson scored 22 points each to pace Atlanta to a 132-101 National Basketball Association rout of Houston Thursday night and give the Hawks a sparkling 8-1 record, best in the NBA. Drew showed no signs of his injury when he popped in four baskets early in the third period to widen Atlanta's lead after Houston had pulled to within four points at 55-51 late in the second quarter. In other NBA games Thursday, the Milwaukee Bucks edged the Washington Bullets 106-103 and the Phoenix Suns crushed the New Orleans Jazz 127-111.

Houston jumped out front 4-0 before Atlanta ripped off 26 of the game's next 30 points, grabbing a 26-8 margin. It was the Hawks" seventh straight victory, matching its longest streak since November 1969. Moses Malone paced Houston with 27 points. Bucks 186, Bullets IK A free throw by Dave Meyers with five seconds left in the game snapped a tie and Junior Bridgeman added two more free throws at the final buzzer as Milwaukee nipped Washington. The "Bullets had two chances to win in the final seconds but Elvin Hayes fouled Meyers twice, the second time costing Wasington possession of the ball.

Meyers finished with 24 points, as did Brian Winters, to pace the Bucks. Bob Dandridge led the Bullets with 25 points. Snns 127. Jazz 111 Alvan Adams scored a season-high 35 points and crabbed 15 rebounds to Dace Phoenix" victory over Orleans. The Jazz" Pete led al! scorers with 39 points.

New Orleans narrowed the Suns" lea to eariy in the fourth period, but Phoenix went on an IS-point spree to put the game out of reach. BOWL ForSH Green Stamps 6:00 P.M. to UPPER ADAMS LANES Bigtervilte, Pa. Phone 677-Wii season record at -35 for a .688 percentage, it is a selection to be regarded only lightly at best. Bucs 1C, Giants 14 For New York, it is a trip from the sublime to the ridiculous.

Having lost to Dallas. and having an offense resembling Abbott Costello Meet The Keystone Kops. the Giants loom as the team most likely to be remembered as the one that helped Tampa Bay break its maiden. Cowboys 31. Cardinals 21 It appears Dallas has an excellent chance to enter the playoffs with a perfect record.

St. Louis won't mar that mark this week, even though it will liven up Mon- dav night with some elec- trirving moments. Raiders 21. Oilers 13 Oakland and Houston have beaten each other by one- point margins the past two seasons. It won't be that close this time.

The Raiders are first in offense in the American Conference- The Oilers are last. Colls 28, Bills 14 Buffalo would love to see Roland get his Hooks into Baltimore the way he did to the Patriots last "week. But the Colts" defense will get its hooks into almost everything the Bills try. Steelers 24. Browns Cleveland never has won in Three Rivers Stadium.

And the Browns are showing signs of fading. The Steelers certainly haven't been world-beaters the past two weeks. They've been self- beaters. That's about to change. Jets 39.

Seahawks 17 Seeing Seattle's defense i of which there is nonel will do wonders for the confidence of Marty Domres. New York's temporary starting quarterback. Broncos 28. Chargers 9 San Diego went without a point in its two games against Denver a year ago. Not this time--but the outcome vviii be the same, Dolphins 23.

Patriots JO It's tough to figure New England. The Pats can look so good one week, so bad the next. We'll stick with Miami's consistency. Bears 21, Chiefs 16 Neither team can stop the other, but at least Chicago has more to stop. It's back to reality for Kansas City's Tom Bettis.

Lions 14. Falcons Detroit literally gets its show on the road. We've given up on Atlanta's offense--n it ever really had one. Vikings 20. Bengals 17 Minnesota's main goal will be to wipe away the memory of last week's shellacking by St.

Howe Just One Short Of 1,000 RARTFORD, Conn. (AP) "I dreamed about getting my first goal in pro hockey, but I never dreamed about 1.000 career goals." said 49- year-old Gordie Howe after moving to within one goal of that plateau Thursday night.

Howe, far ahead of all others in career goals, deflected a shot at 7:36 of the third period for what proved to be the game-winner as the New England Whalers earned a 5-3 World Hockey Association win over the Edmonton Oilers. It was the ninth straight victory for the Whalers a club record and moved them into first place in the WHA. one point ahead of the idle Winnipeg Jets. "The night before my first pro game with the Omaha Knights I dreamed about getting a goal and I did," Howe said after the game. was in 1945 at the tender age of 17.

Howe has proven to be a nightmare ever sfnce for goaltenders. except for a brief retirement for the 1971-72 and 1972-73 seasons. "The players are more concerned about Gordie getting that 1.000th goal than they are about the winning streak. Our guys take pride in being part of the Gordie Howe story." said Whaler Coach Harry Neale. Gordie's sons, Mark and Marty, also play for the Whalers after being acquired with their father this year from the Houston Aeros.

Behind Howe in total scoring is Bobby Hull, with 865 career goals including 14 this year, his sixth year with Winnipeg. Now fn his 21st season. Hull scored 604 goals in the National Hockey League before joining Winnipeg- Howe's goal, his fifth of the season, was one of four New England scores in the third period. Linemate Tom Webster collected his 13th goal of the year while Mike Antonovich and Gordie Roberts also tallied.

But 'both acknowledge they are confused by all those little conferences that take place on the field. "They take up so much time." said Giorgio Chinaglia of Italy, veteran of the 1974 World Cup and. as a member of the Cosmos, the leading scorer in the North American Soccer League last season. "Every time you look up they are standing there with their arms around each other talking very seriously about something or other.

So different from our game. Soccer is the only game in the world that is 90 minutes non-stop -no time outs." "Those little gab sessions on the field before every plav. they confuse me. too." added Gordon Banks of England, regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time who came out of retirement at age 37 to plav with the NASL's Ft.

"It is not unlike a miniature war." said Chinaglia. "It involves movement of troops toward a given target, strategy, generalship, possession of territory-. "But I think it's the violence of it that fascinates the fans.

I like it But it has no relation whatever to soccer. It is like trying to compare apples with oranges." Banks agreed.

I see small kids on the streets and in the vacant lots kicking soccer balls around. "I think the United States will be able to field a World Cup class soccer team in five years." "Big-time soccer isn't coming to the United States. it is alreadh here." added Chinaglia. "The 77.000 fans drawn to the Meadowlands substantiated that." American gridiron football is an outgrowth of soccer and rugby although any resemblance now is pureiy coincidental. The Chinese played a similar game in 200 B.C.

Ancient Romans used to push an animal's bladder around in a violent game called Roman soldiers brought the game to England and football emerged in the Middle Ages. For centuries, it was a violent game marked by bashed heads and broken bones. It became an organized sport in England in 1857. "Soccer or football, as we call it is the world's No.l sport, played in more countries than any other." said Chinaglia. "It will grow in popularity in the United States but never replace your football.

Chip Sidelines Bonnie Frosh OLEAN. N.Y. (API Highscoring freshman Earl Belcher, a forward on the St. Bonaventure basketball team, has been sidelined three to five weeks because of the flareup of an old injury. Belcher, from Syracuse, has a bone chip in an ankle as a result of a broken ankle that he suffered during his junior year in high school, a team spokesman said Thursday.

Daly Left A Solid Program PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Bob Weinhauer. thrust into the breach as the head basketball coach at the the University of Pennsylvania, inherits a solid program. Weinhauer was an assistant under Chuck Daly, who opted to join the Philadelphia 76ers of the NationalBaaket- bail Association Thursday. -Quite honestly. Chuck left a very good program here at" far as our level of competition.

I would be foolish to try sledgehammer changes J'm not Chuck Daly and I won't be able to replace him," said the 38year-old Weinhauer. who is in his fifth year at Penn. "But I'm certainly not apprehensive. I realize there is a great deal of work to be done. My main concern now is to get over that initial period of adjustment." he added.

Freshman coach Bob Staak has moved up to be Weinhauer's varsity assistant. Daly met with his college team before his decision to join the 76ers under Billy Cunningham was announced. "My goal as a coach has always been to leave an organization that can run two years without the head guy." Daly said. "I told them there may come times in their lives when they have to make the same kind of decision." As freshman coach, Weinhauer's 1973-74 team won the Big Five freshman title and had a 25-9 record over two seasons. He became varsity assistant when Ray Carazo went to Yale as head coach.

A graduate of Cortland State, N.Y.. Weinhauer coached basketball, football and baseball at Massapequa (N.Y.) High School over 11 years. Staak. 28. a University of Connecticut graduate, led the freshman team to a 17-1 mark in his first season at Penn in 1975-76.

Staak. a former allNew England player himself, was an assistant coach at William and Mary for one year before coming to Penn. Smith's Auto Sales, Inc. R.D. 3, NEW OXFORD, PA.
