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

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.

RIGHT THROUGH YOUR
SENIOR iR.
If you're a junior or a senior majoring in math, physics or
engineering, the Navy has a program you should know about.
It's called the Nuclear Propulsion Officer Candidate-
Collegiate Program (NUPOC-C for short) and if you qualify,
you can earn as much as $650 a month right through your
senior year. Then after 16 weeks of Officer Candidate School,
you'll receive an additional year of advanced technical
education. This would cost you thousands in a civilian school,
but in the Navy, we pay you. And at the end of the year of
training, you'll receive a $3,000 cash bonus.
It isn't easy. There are fewer than 400 openings and only
one of every six applicants will he selected. But if you make
it, you'll have qualified for an elite engineering training
program. With unequaled hands-on responsibility, a $24,000
salary in four years, and gilt-edged qualifications for jobs
in private industry should you decide to leave 'the Navy
later. (But we don't think you'll want to.)
Ask your placement officer to set up an interview with a
Navy representative when he visits the campus on Nov. 7-8
or contact your Navy representative at 237-5704.
If you prefer, send your resume to the Navy Nuclear Officer
Program, Code 312-8537, 4015 Wilson Blvd., Arlington,
Va. 22203, and a Navy representative will contact you directly.
The NUPOC-Collegiate Program. It can do more than help
you finish college: it can lead to an exciting career opportunity.

IT'S NOTJUSTAJOB, IT'S AN ADVENTURE.
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

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.
