Tuesday, October 25, 1983 Pharos-Tribune, Logansport, Indiana Page 9 Sports Giants, Cardinals Tie, 20- 20 ST. LOUIS (UPI) The snowball started at the hand of New York linebacker Brad Van Pelt and wound up at the feet of St. Louis kicker Neil O'Donoghue. O'Donoghue, a seven-year NFL veteran with 72 career field goals including two earlier in the evening, blew three field goal attempts in the overtime period Monday night to allow the New York Giants to escape with a 20-20 tie against his Cardinals. The 6-foot-5 Van Pelt, who stands behind the middle of the line in New York's field goal defense and leaps straight up in an attempt to deflect low field goal tries, got a hand on O'Donoghue's 45-yard attempt six minutes into the overtime period and it sailed wide left of the uprights.

O'Donoghue got a reprieve later in the overtime when Neil Lomax completed a 32-yard pass to Roy Green to give the Cardinals a first down at the New York 2. After an incomplete pass by Lomax, O'Donoghue trotted onto the field for a second-down field goal try from the 10-yard line a mere extra point attempt but this time was wide right. Incredibly, the Cardinals gave their frustrated kicker a third shot at victory when Lionel Washington intercepted a bomb by New York quarterback Jeff Rutledge and returned it 25 yards to the Giant 20 seven seconds later. After a Randy Love plunge was stopped for no gain, O'Donoghue attempted another second-down field goal, this one from 43 yards, and again was wide right. "I got a hand on the first one," Van Pelt said, "and he might have been thinking about that when he tried the second one.

The pressure of having missed the first two was probably weighing heavily on him when he tried that third one. It's hard to believe he missed all three." "It's not the end of the world because O'Donoghue missed three field goals," O'Donoghue said. "Maybe it is in here (St. Louis lockerroom), but no where else. There are more important things going on in the world Lebanon, for instance and that's the way I approach it.

It was just one of those nights that things didn't work out for me." Ironically, it was a 22-yard field goal by O'Donoghue with 54 seconds left in regulation that forced the extra session. That bailed out two of his teammates Green and Willard Harrell who had each dropped a potential game-winning touchdown pass on consecutive plays after a pass interference call against rookie Terry Kinard had given St. Louis a first-and-goal at the New York 4. But there was nothing to soften the blow of O'Donoghue's muffed field goal try from the 10-yard line 14 minutes later. "It was a chip shot," St.

Louis Coach Jim Hanifan said. "It's an extra point. You expect us to make those. You win the gama with an extra point. It's automatic.

You kick it on second down because it's safe you don't fumble, you make it and the game's over." "There's not much you can say," O'Donoghue said. "If I could have them back I would. I'd do anything to change it. But I have to live with it. If a guy working 9-to-5 screws up he still goes to work the next day.

I hate to get down on myself. I'll keep scrapping." The game belonged to the defenses. The Cardinals had six sacks in addition to the interception by Washington and also scored a touchdown on a 32-yard fumble return by Benny Pen-in. The Giants had three sacks and three interceptions, including one returned 30 yards by strong safety Bill Currier for New York's first touchdown of the game. Van Pelt also had a sack and an interception in addition to his field goal deflection.

Each team also scored a rushing touchdown New York on a 1-yard plunge by Rob Carpenter and St. Louis on a 7-yarder by Stump Mitchell and each kicker had two field goals. O'Donoghue also connected from 34 yards and rookie Ali Haji-Sheikh was successful from 40 and 29 yards to set a club record with 14 consecutive field goals. But that streak came to an end on the final play of regulation time when the Giants sent the rookie from Michigan out to attempt what would have been an NFL record 66-yarder. It fell considerably short.

"Streaks don't impress me," Haji- Sheikh said. "You've got to think about the game, not yourself. Disregard how long it was."

There was no need to use the Game of the Week as a tie-breaker, but Kline was very close on guessing the score of the Notre Dame-Southern Cal game. He predicted a 24-10 win for the Irish, just seven points off the actual 27-6 outcome.
