--.The Daily Collegian Monday, Oct. 23, 1978 This is no laughing matter guys. The St. Louis Cardinals are winless in their first eight games and Jets' defenseman Joe Klecko showi Cards' QB Steve Pisarkiewicz part of the reason why. Ex-Steeler Gilliam breaks loose NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Former professional football quarterback Joe Gilliam was back at a drug abuse center Saturday less than eight hours after he walked away from the facility's detoxification program, officials said. Stanley Jernigan, director of the Meharry drug abuse program, said Gilliam contacted one of the center's staff members late Saturday night and turned himself in to a night court judge after learning that an escape warrant ,had been issued against him. "The judge left it up to a Metro Sheriff's Deputy to decide whether Gilliam could be released to our custody and he was, shortly before midnight," Jernigan said Sunday in a telephone interview. "He's back and he's settled in," he said. Sheriff Fate Thomas said Gilliam, 27, had been transferred Wednesday from the workhouse to the Meharry Medical College alcohol and drug abuse detoxification program to get long-term treatment. A star quarterback at Tennessee State University in Nashville, Gilliam later was with the National Football League's Pittsburgh Stealers and New Orleans Saints., He was Pittsburgh's starting quarterback for six weeks in 1974, but later was waived and picked up by New Orleans. He was dropped from the Saints' squad, however, after leaving training camp the following year with no explanation. Jernigan said he notified police and the district attorney general's office shortly after learning that Gilliam had left. "We have 24-hour supervision but it's not custodial or a security facility," Jernigan said. "He's been remanded to our custody but we expect that will be reviewed at a court hearing sometime this week because an escape warrant was issued." . Gilliam was drug-free when he began the program, which tries to treat the emotional and psychological problems related to drug addiction, Jernigan said. "He didn't offer any explanation about why he walked away but it's not un common for people to run. It's tough for anyone facing 12 to 18 months of treat ment. But he seems to have a much NFL Roundup Pearsons, Cowboys corral Eagles IRVING, Texas (AP) Drew Pearson's diving touchdown reception and the clutch play of Preston Pearson, subbing for Tony Dorsett, ignited Dallas to a vital 14-7 vicory Sunday over the Philadelphia Eagles. The victory put the defending world champion Cowboys into a tie with Washington in the National Football League East with 6-2 records. It was a day in which Dallas Coach Tom Landry demoted running star Dorsett to second string. Dorsett failed to show for a practice session Saturday and was replaced in the lineup by Preston Pearson. The demoted Dorsett didn't see action until the second period and Preston Pearson started the second half. Dallas struck for two CPeond quarter touch downs, then turned the game over to a clawing defense which permitted the Eagles to score just once. After a scoreless first quarter, a fumble by Eagles fullback Mike Hogan opened the floodgates. Mark Washington pounced on the fumble at the Eagles 46. Preston better attitude about things now," Jernigan said. Sheriff Thomas said Gilliam was to receive treatment in the drug detoxification program during and after the 45-day jail sentence he received Oct. 13 after a Criminal Court judge revoked bond. Judge John Draper revoked the bond, which Gilliam posted on a drug possession charge still pending against him, after the state said he was unem ployed and using drugs in violation of his probation. Thomas said Gilliam was placed in the center at the request of his family. Gilliam was arrested Oct. 12 by a police vice squad officer, on a warrant issued earlier charging him with parole violation. The probation stems from Gilliam's 1976 arrest for possession of heroin, said Roger May, assistant district attorney general. After being treated last year at a drug rehabilitation center in Richmond, Va., Gilliam tried out with the Saints but was cut. He played semi-pro ball with the Pittsburgh Wolf Pak last summer but left the team after a dispute with coaches. Pearson gained 12 yards and Robert Newhouse powered 22 yards with a pass over the middle. Newhouse scored from 1 yard out. Dallas drove 71 yards in 10 plays after the Eagles failed to move, and Drew Pearson made a shoestring catch of an 11-yard Roger Staubach touchdown pass. The Cowboys wide receiver was almost perfectly defended by Johnny Outlaw on the play. The Eagles, now 4-4, only forged five first downs in the first half but put together a 92-yard scoring drive in the third quarter. Eagles quarterback Ron Jaworski hit Harold Carmichael with passes of 11 and 23 yards, then nailed tight end Kieth Ki pf!e with a 34-yard touchdown pass. Philadelphia made a mild threat at the end of the game, driving to the Dallas 36- yard line when an intentional grounding and an unsportmanlike conduct penalty on the same play backed the Eagles out of scoring position. Jaworski had completed a 28-yard fourth down pass to Krepfle to keep the drive alive. College Football Roundup California ties embarrassing mark i EARN OVElts6so RIGHT THROUGH YOUR SENIOR iR.

By The Associated Press The games ran mostly true to form in The Associated Press Top Twenty, but it wouldn't have been a real college football weekend without something screwy going on. For example, the California Golden Bears tied a major college record by throwing 10 interceptions in a 45-0 rout at the hands of 10th-ranked UCLA . . . but UCLA didn't set a record with . the 10 interceptions. Huh? • Well, there's a very simple ex planation. California did indeed equal the embarrassing mark of 10 in terceptions suffered by • the University of Detroit against Oklahoma State on Nov. 28, 1942. However, the record for interceptions is 11 on Octt 8; 1949, by Brown against Rhode Island, which is not considered a major college. The Golden Bears not only picked the second annual Joe Roth Memorial =EMI However, Jaworski dumped the ball off trying to weather a fierce Cowboy rush and was flagged for grounding. Eagle Coach Dick Vermeil stormed across the sidelines and was tagged with an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Philadelphia eventually ran out of downs and the Cowboys ran out the clock. Dallas .sacked Jaworski six times while the scrappy Eagle defense put Staubach on the ground four times; Dallas held the NFL's leading rusher, Wilbert Montgomery, to only 57 yards on 18 carries. Staubach completed 10 of 22 passes for 108 yards. Preston Pearson caught a key 10-yard pass from Staubach on third and five from the Dallas 43 to keep the winning touchdown drive alive. Tight end Billy Joe DuPree scampered 15 yards with an end around play then Staubach hit Drew Pearson with his only touchdown pass of the day. Krepfle caught four passes for 100 yards as he constantly beat strong safety Game to tie a record for futility but also . forced a national television audience to witness their ineptitude. Brian Baggott led the rout by returning interceptions 61 and 62 yards for touchdowns while Billy Don Jackson, a defensive tackle of all things, lumbered 16 yards for another score. "I'm not making any excuses for our quarterbacks," said Cal Coach Roger Theder. "I'm ashamed of the way we played." Besides the interception returns, UCLA got scoring runs of 34 yards and 1 yard from James Owens, a 22- yard touchdown by Freeman McNeil and Peter Boermeester's 28-yard field goal. For the most part, the weekend 'was a far cry from last week's deluge of upsets, although third-ranked Arkansas fell to No.B Texas and 12th rated Texas A&M bowed for the second week in a row, losing to Charlie Waters. Waters was a doubtful starter for the game because of a cut that required 34 stitches on his face, which he suffered in an off the field accident last week. Dallas starting defensive end Harvey Martin only played in the first series of , downs because of a knee injury,• and Hogan suffered a groin pull. Jaworski completed 14 of 27 passes for 179 yards.
