The Bierbach-Price combination set up the touchdown on the previous play-when Price cut over the middle and Bierbach threaded the needle. He made tlie reception and put on a great fake to break loose from his defenders for a 40 yard gain. His touchdown catch was a tremendous reception as ire had to leap between two defenders to make it and the ball wasn't in the best of condition, due to the heavy rains in the area the past few days. In five games the Titans rushing defense had allowed only 304 vards, but John Carroll led by fullback Tim Bolland and halfback Steve Mintz ripped off 17ti yards of real estate. The No.

Boland tried twice and Mulkeen once to get the ball into the promised land, but the Titans defense held. On fourth down, however, and the ball only six-inches away Mintz dove into the end zone.

Saturday afternoon at Westminster' College Memorial Field the Titans of Dr. Burrv made the Blue Streaks their I9tii Homecoming victim 20-ti before a crowd of some people. Westminster also proved that the color of the uniform doesn't make a football team. The Titans, who normally wear all-white at Siome were forced to switch to their away uniforms when John Carroll showed up with all-white uniforms. Junior halfback Joe Veres, who's been hampered all season with a knee injury made his presence felt by sparking the Titans to their sixth straight win without a loss.

Veres tallied two touchdowns when he caught a Dave Bierbach screen pass and outraced the Blue Streak secondary for 24 yards in the third quarter. He tallied his second on a 13 yard run in the fourth quarter. Veres also toted the pigskin 16 times for 69 yards and caught two passes for 32 yards to East Boston Coll. 21 Armv 13 Rutgers 21 Bucknel! 7 Delaware 15 Temple 13 Notre Dame 56 Navy 7 Cornell 31 Columbia 20 Penn St. 42 West Virg.

Shenango's ace halfback Dennis Troggio had his troubles getting past defensive linebackers David Strizzi. and Gary Slater, but still managed to total 79 yards in 20 carries. Neshannock. on the other hand, had its problems as it marched to the Wildcats three yard line early in the first quarter, but were stopped.

The Wildcats fumbled on their first play and the Lancers nearly-had a safety as Day recovered but he managed to get to the one. Shenango on the next two plays moved the pigskin to its five and was forced to punt, ending the first period. The second quarter was again nothing but a defensive battle, with both teams not going beyond each others 25 yard line to end the first half scoreless. Shenango came out in the second half determined to score, and marched to the Lancers five with Four straight first downs By United Press International American Conference East Pet Baltimore 6 1 0 .857 Miami 4 3 0 .571 Buffalo 3 4 0 .429 N.Y.

KV 1 ij CENTERS-Srhan By VITO STELL1NO UPI Sports Writer The national television audience and 51,334 fans at Kansas City were left mystified by the strange sequence of action in the last minute of the Chiefs' wild, fight-marred melee with the Oakland Raiders. Veteran George Blanda kicked a 48-yard field goal with three seconds remaining to gain Oakland a 17-17 tie, but all the talk and questions were about the weird play when Kansas City seemingly had a first down on the Oakland 14 with a minute left and wound up on the 48 in a 3rd-and-ll situation.

"No one seems to know what happened and nobody explained it to me." Chiefs" Coach Hank Stram snapped after the game. The controversy started when Len Dawson, protecting a 17-14 lead, scrambled to the Oakland 29 on a 3rd-and-ll play. At that point the KC quarterback was clobbered by big Ben Davidson of Oakland who piled on Dawson. It's the kind of action the players sometimes call a "cheap shot" and Davidson was penalized for piling on and the reEeree marched the ball to the 14. However, Chiefs' receiver Otis Taylor took his own retaliation and slugged Davidson, starting a brawl as both benches erupted.

Taylor Put Out Taylor was put out of the game, despite the Chiefs' claim Taylor's foul came after the play stopped, so that the penalty on htm should have been assessed after the Chiefs gained the first down. The officials ruled that play hadn't stopped, and called Eor offsetting penalties, wiping out the KC first down and making it third down again on the 48. KC then was forced to punt to the end zone. Daryle Lamonica drove from the Oakland 20 with 46 seconds left to the KC 41 with three seconds remaining and Blanda then kicked the winning field goal. Blanda said, "This was one of my biggest thrills.

The game was lost but we got a break. They got-a stupid penalty and all of a sudden, we had a tie." The tie left Oakland with a 3-2-2 record and moved the Chiefs into first place in the 1 AFC West ahead of Denver. 4-3 after losing to Washington. '19-3. KC is now 3-3-1.

Troggio on a third and goat situation cracked the middle of the Lancers defense for the final five yards to score the Wildcats only points of the evening. The Lancers, unable to hang on to the ball, fumbled five times with Shenango recovering ail of them. Late in the fourth quarter Shenango started another drive moving to the Lancer 45.

Troggio hitting off right tackle received a blast from defensive Linebackers Strizzi and Slater causing him to fumble and the Lancers recovered. With only minutes remaining on the clock Neshannock drove to the Wildcats 44 where they were stopped. Punting to the Shenango 18 the Wildcats took over and raced to the Neshannock 49. The Wildcats were hit with three straight penalties taking them back to their 31. With 40 seconds left in the game Neshannock made one last attempt to win or tie the game.

Quarterback Mike George of Neshannock went to the air with sideline patterns to stop the clock. On his first attempt. George fired a short pass to his receiver only to go over his head and out tackled from behind. The wet weather enabled the Sailors to stop Steve Smith's passing as the league leading passer could only complete two of 14 passes for nine yards. Slippery Rock's secondary of Russ Mcknight, Smith and Jeff Jancse intercepted four of Lakeview passes to thwart off Sailor potential drives.

In losing its eighth game of the season Lakeview played most of the game in its own territory as the Slippery Rock defense did a fine job.
