C--'i WO i'ooi. Bridgeport, Sacred Heart Teams Gain Upset Victories AP Wlrepholo AW, COME ON FELLOWS--Craig Morton (14), quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, gets a big rush by Baltimore Colts' defenders Billie Ray Smith (74) and Roy Hilton (85), an end, as tackle Fred Miller (76) comes in to aid his teammates. Morton got the pass off but failed to find a receiver in the first quarter of the NFL game in Dallas yesterday afternoon. The Cowboys Iriumphcd, 27-10. Cowboys Clip Colts Behind Morton, 27-10 DALLAS, Tex.

(AP) Quarterback Craig Morton picked Baltimore's zone defense apart and Dallas' new look secondary intercepted four Colt passes Saturday to give the Cowboys a 2710 National Football League victory. Morton, who has been bothered with a sore shoulder, rifled touchdown passes of 18 yards to Lance Rentzel and 19 yards to Pettis Norman. He set up Walt Garrison's one-yard touchdown plunge with a 44-yard strike to Bob Hayes. The nationally televised victory gives the Capitol Division champion Cowboys a 10-2-1 season record and dropped the Coastal Division Colts to a 7-5-1 mark. Each team has one game remaining.

First Dallas Win It was the first time Dallas had defeated Baltimore in a regular season game. Morton hit 12 of 23 passes for 289 yards behind fine blocking in the offensive line. Veteran Johnny Unilas was victimized three times. Mel Renfro intercepted two passes and Cornell Green and Brown one each. rookie Otto Unitas connected on a 52-yard touchdown pass to John Mackey in the second quarter as the Colts managed a 10-10 halftime score.

Morton took the Cowboys 7S yards in three plays after the second half kickoff to break the ten- sive back Ocie Martin on a 58- yard pass to the Colt 24. Two plays later, Morton found Norman slanting into the end zone from 19 yards out and the 'Pokes, who meet Cleveland Dec. 28 in the Eastern Conference playoff, were home free. Dallas coach Tom Landry moved Brown to the right cor- nerback spot in an attempt to shore up the porous Cowboy secondary which had allowed 22 touchdown passes. Renfro, normally a free safety, also played cornerback.

The moves worked as Unitas and his fourth-period replacement, Earl Morrali, had to stick to the short stuff. Unitas completed only 12 of 28 passes for 193 yards. Renfro intercepted a Morrali ei lt time games that pass late the game. It a pj stons had lost on their Renfro's ninth of the home i season a club record.

The marksmanship by the rangy forward from Hollis Hills N.Y., combined with some frigid snooting on the part of the Chiefs throughout the battle were the key factors in snapping a two-game losing streak by coach Bruce Webster's' club and sent Springfield down to its first setback in three contests. The Knights, now 2-3 and facing a rugged assignment tomorrow in a home tussle with powerful Manhattan, piled up early lead, which was expanded to 31-17 midway through the first half and appeared on their way to an easy victory. But Springfield, which fired a meager 20 for 70 from the field, finally found the basket shortly after intermission with 6'4 sophomore Darrel Hilbrands from Fort Plains, N.Y., taking charge, and narrowed the huge Bridgeport lead to 48-46. Then Bridgeport launched the rally which eventually spelled victory. Zimet, who notched 22 points to boost his 20.2 per game average, opened the decisive spurt with a 15-foot jumper, and reserve Jack Kisch, who played well in a lengthy relief role, chipped in with a driving layup.

After John Foster Bey converted a free throw, Zimet, a first-year performer who has already lived up to pre-season silling as. one of the area's top sophomores deposited successive passes from Kisch and co- captain Rufus Wells for easy ayups capping a drive which padded the Purple Knight lead to 58-46. Just before the Bridgeport pree, Hilbrands spearheaded i Springfield drive with three baskets, which methodically be)le to whittle Knight margin the and Pur- finally drew the Chiefs to within a two-point deficit. During the comeback rally by coach Ed Bilik's crew, the Massachusetts club, successfully employing a 'ull-court press which bothered he Knights, outscored Bridgeport, 11-2. Bridgeport, which fired at a 25 for 51 clip from the field, used some strong defensive vork to shut off the previously ligh-scoring Springfield attack.

Denis Clark, the Chiefs' crack who came into the game yith a 24 point average, tallied 9 points before fouling out, but was limited to three field goals vhile captain George Yelver- on, with Clark a 1968-69 All- England selection, a jlanked completely in the scor- ng column.

With Zimet, who speared 11 to complete a splendid all-around performance, ng for the third time in four but only for the fifth in 32 starts this season, pulled within one point several imes on the shooting of Walt -razier and Bill Bradley. But first Greer pulled Philadelphia out of danger with a basket for a 90-87 lead and then Clark hit twice to make it 94-89. New York never got closer than five again.

AP Wlrephoto TWO ON TERRY--Louisiana Tech's star quarterback Terry Bradshaw goes down for a 14-yard loss under the pressure of East Tennessee State's Ron Mendheim (89) and David Wade (84) in yesterday's Grantland Rice Bowl In Baton, Rouge. East Tennessee State upset Tech, 34-14. In Grantland Rice Bowl East Tennessee Shackles Louisiana Tech, 34 to 14 BATON ROUGE, La.

(AP) -East Tennessee's furious defense dumped Little All-American quarterback Terry Bradshaw for losses 12 times here Saturday and the Buccaneers upset Louisiana Tech 34-14 in the Grantland Rice Bowl. Bradshaw lost 140 yards on the 12 times he was decked and the Buccaneers intercepted Ihree of his passes and also recovered a fumble by the 6- oot-3 quarterback who has been drawing rave notices from the professional scouts. When he was able to find a receiver, Bradshaw showed why the pros are interested in him with bullet-like passes. He completed 20 of 39 throws for 299 yards and two touchdowns. But East Tennessee, capitaliz- ng on its defense and showing an opportunistic offense, took a 13-0 halftime lead on a one- yard score run by halfback Gary Doughtry and a 37-yard half- jack option pass from Mike Young to split end Pat Hauser.

Tech, aided by a fumble recovery on a punting situation, got "ts first points early in the hird quarter on Bradshaw's i-yard throw to fullback Buster Herren. But the Buccaneers erased it quickly on a 5-yard run by Young which was set up by Doughtry's 60- yard gallop to the 2-yard-line. The turning point actually came in the 4th period, with East Tennessee ahead 20-14, when Tech's Andy Callais was guilty of pass interference on an East Tennessee 3rd down play. This kept a Buccaneer Irive alive and a 39-yard pass quarterback Larry Gralam to end John Gibson virtual- put the game out of reach for Tech.
