OSU dominates Big 10 All Conference

By MILTON HICH.MAN UPI Sports Writer OAKLAND, Calif. (UPI)-O.J. Simpson doesn’t know his own strength. People in California are making more of a fuss over him right now than they are over front-wheel drive and stereophoic in-flight movies. He’s suddenly bigger than wheaties and more popular than yogurt in this state and that’s understandable enough because he plays for Southern California. But now he’s branching out. Without so much as raising his little finger, O.J. is making his influence felt in a number of other states in the union. Primarily Pennnsylvania and New York. According to the rules laid down by the National and American Football Leagues, the team which finishes with the worst percentage in their two circuits automatically is entitled to the first draft choice in January. Unless you’ve been hibernating in Outer Mongolia the last few months, you know for certain that has to be O.J. Simpson. That means the two teams with the best chance of getting him are the Philadelphia Eagles of the NFL and the Buffalo Bills of the AFL. Eagles Ruin—Record The Eagles lost 11 straight and hadn’t w r on a game all season long until Thanksgiving Day when Sam Baker booted four field goals in Detroit for a 12-0 upset over the puzzled Lions. “Whatsmatter with those guys, don’t they know that’s the way to lose O.J. Simpson?” someone commented in the Oakland press box when the Eagles’ winning score was announced early during the Raiders-Bills game. Their proud victory gave the Egles a 1-11 season record. The Bills had the perfect chance now. They went into their game with the Raiders 24point underdogs and with a 1-10-1 record. You’d figure with O.J. Simpson at stake—the biggest thing to come along since Joe Namath—that maybe they’d roll over and make like a rug for the heavily favored Raiders. The Bills did anything but that. They played their hearts out and as if their very lives were at stake, battling and belting the Raiders at every hash mark and for every yard. Oakland, desperate to keep alive its own Super Bowl hopes, was lucky to get out with a tight - squeeze 13 - 10 victory. Mighty lucky. “We’d love to have O.J. Simpson but we love to win more,” explained Jack HorriM

gan, one of the Bills’ vice presidents. “Our players know all about that first pick and which team gets it but there’s still the matter of their pride. Next year, they’d like nothing more than for O.J. to be one of their teammates. Right now, winning ball games means more to them.” The Bills tried. They tried awfully hard against Oakland. Bills Blow It Halfback Max Anderson dived over tackle for a touchdown against the tough Raider defense early in the final quarter to bring Buffalo within three points. With only 48 seconds left, Bruce Alford tried a field goal for the Bills from the 42. The ball sailed true but fell short, and the Bills were still trying to get back possessin when the final gun went off. The Bills knew about their chances of landing O.J. last

By United Press International The Philadelphia Eagles, unhappy over the prospect of becoming the first team in National Football League hisiory to go a whole season without victory sloshed through a rainsoaked field Thursday for their first win in 12 games to defect the Detroit Lions 12-0. The win came on the strength of four field goals by veteran kicker Sam Baker. The points made Baker the second-highest scorer in professional football history, giving him 890 points. Lou Groza, the former Cleveland great, has 1,349 points. At Dallas, the cry of “we wuz robbed,” reverberated throughout the Washington Redskin dressing room following a 29-20 loss the Dallas Cowboys before a national television audience. Redskin coach Otto Graham said he thought “the officials stole the game from us.” Statistics of the game show that the penalty flags did fly thick and fast but were thrown just as often against Dallas as against Washington. Each team was penalized nine times—the Cowboys for 97 yards and the Redskins for 124. The win virtually clinched the Capitol Division title for the Cowboys’. Their 10-2 record puts them 2V2 games in front of the New York Giants with two games to play. And if the Giants lost to Cleveland Sunday, the Cowboys will take it all.

Sunday, too, when they were playing Denver and were down nine points with less than four minutes to go. Buffalo pushed over for a touchdown, then went for a two-point conversion and made it to narrow the gap to only one point. Denver's Floyd Little fumbled on the first play after that and Buffalo right safety George Saimes scooped up the ball and ran it to the Broncos' 10, from where Alford kicked a field goal. That put the Bills ahead with only 26 seconds remaining but they still lost the game, 34-32, which should give O.J. some idea what he's getting into if Buffalo acquires him. Philadelphia isn’t any bettter. It’s really 1-11 of one and 1-11-1 of another. The Eagles still have two games to play while the Bills have only one so nothing’s settled yet. Somehow you get the felling O.J. Simpson can hardly wait.

Sunday also will find the Minnesota Vikings playing the Los Angeles Rams in a game Ahere victory is vital for both :eams. The Vikings are in jeopardy of losing their lead in ;he central Division to the fast charging Gren Bay Packers. Last week’s loss to the Baltimore Colts left them only

By United Press International If moral victories showed in the statistics the Buffalo Bills would be leading the American Football League today. The Bills, now only 1-11-1, in the standings in the Eastern Division of the AFL, came within a step Thursday of upsetting the Oakland Raiders now 10-2 in the Western Division. And it took rookie, George Atkinson playing the greatest game of his brief procareer, to keep the Raiders out of trouble. With first place in the Western Division at stake and the Oakland offense sputterins. because of its own ineptitude, Atkinson made the pla> s that gave the Raiders their 13-10 triumph. Atkinson set up two Raidei scores, tallied a third himself and then saved the game twice in the final three minutes—first with a fumble-producing tackle just when it seemed the Bills had scored the winning TD, and then with a tree-climbing deflection of another pass. The Bills completely outplayed the Raiders, gaining 17 first downs to Oakland’s 11, outrushed them 199 to 75, and outgained them in passing yardage, 144 to 111. The onl\ thing they lost was the game. At Kansas City, meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs kept themselves at the top of the Western Division as co-leaders with Oakland, by turning back the Houston Oilers 24-10. The Chief’s victor} eliminates Houston as a contender in the Eastern Division and automatically elevated the New York Jets to the title. Houston now is 5-7 and New York 8-3. Both the Chiefs and the Raiders have two more games in the crucial stretch run. Kansas City is at San Diego Dec. 8 and at Denver Dec. 14 in its finale while Oakland entertains Denver Dec. 8 and invades San Diego Dec. 15. On Sunday the San Diego Char, gers meet the Denver Broncos, w h o will be out to avenge an earlier 55-24 humiliation at the hands of the Chargers and to do their best to knock off all the contenders for the AFL’s Western Division title. The Broncos seem well suited for the role of “spoilers” as they are having the second best season in their nine year history. For the Chargers this is a must game. San Diego must win all three of its remaining games to qualify for a threeway playoff with Oakland and Kansas City. In other Sunday games Miami meet the Jets in New York and Boston is host to Cincinnati.

one-half game ahead of the world champions. In other games the Green Bay Packers meet San Francisco in a contest where a victory could shoot them to the top of their division. Baltimore takes on the improved Atlanta Falcdns and New Orleans meets Chicago in other Sunday games.
