Oilers get rolled United Press International SAN FRANCISCO — With Dal las' usually reliable ground game virtually shut down, Roger Staubach passed for two second-half touchdowns Sunday to give the heavily favored Cowboys a 21-13 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers, losing for the second time, carried a 10-6 lead into the second half but Staubach rallied the Cowboys on scoring passes of 22 yards to Drew Pearson and 13 to Billy Joe Dupree as Dallas gained its second victory. Ray Wersching kicked a 44-yard field goal, his second of the game. with 6.T8 left to put San Francisco within six points at 19-13 but quar terback Steve DeBerg was tackled in the end zone by Harvey Martin for a safety that put the game away. Rafael Septien kicked field goals of 23 and 51 yards, his longest ever, to account for the other Dallas points. Wersching’s first field goal covered 30 yards and O. J. Simpson, playing for the first time in almost a season, ran a yard at the end of 57- yard drive for a touchdown to ac count for the 49er points. Staubach, throwing most of the time out of the shotgun formation on third down, completed 21 passes for 261 yards. A week ago he had to re sort to a similar passing game in a 22-21 victory over St. Louis. In two games Staubach now has 41 comple tions for 530 yards. Pearson’s TD came with 2:58 left in the third quarter and put the Cowboys ahead 13-10. The scoring pass came when the 49ers elected to put a five-man rush on Staubach on third down, leaving Pearson all alone in the end zone for an easy score. With the 49ers bogged down in their own end, DeBerg threw a short pass into the middle on third down and linebacker D.D. Lewis picked it off and ran it to the 15.

The Houston Oilers were not as fortunate as Terry Bradshaw passed for 198 yards and two touchdowns and Pittsburgh’s “Steel Curtain” de fense smothered Earl Campbell and the rest of the Houston offense Sun day to lead the Steelers to a 38-7 victory over Houston in a replay of their AFC championship game last January. Bradshaw completed an 18-yard TD pass to Jim Smith and a 16-yard pass to running back Sidney Thornton, who also scored the Steelers’ first touchdown on a 1-yard plunge. Rookie Matt Bahr added a 45-yard field goal and five extra points in the Steelers’ second victory of the season. Rookie running back Greg Hawthorne and linebacker Dennis Winston each scored their first pro touchdowns, Hawthorne on an 8-yard run and Winston on a 41- yard return of an interception. The 38 points were the most ever by Pittsburgh against their AFC Central Division rival and their most in a game since they beat Tampa Bay 42-0 in 1976. The Steeler defense intercepted five passes from starting quarter back Dan Pastorini and backup quarterback Gifford Nielsen, who went in when Pastorini injured his right arm in the third period. The Steelers also sacked Pastorini four if Hies wil the wrong tie service slvoin the Memorial area woi shuttle pee of S Omega, a embers o avs thre to 12:40 times for 33 yards and recovered a fumble. The Oilers scored with three sec onds left in the game on a 9-yard pass from Nielsen to Guido Mer- kens. Campbell, Houston’s chief offen sive weapon, suffered the worst per formance of his 2-year career, man aging just 38 yards on 16 carries. His previous low output was 41 yards, also against the Steelers, in the 14th game of last season when he was in jured late in the first quarter. Pastorini did not fare any better as he completed only 4-of-16 passes for 16 yards.

Dionne Warwick thought Red Cross was only about hurricanes. "True. I always thought of Red Cross as a kind of rescue force in times of disaster and little more. “Then I learned that in towns and cities across America, Red Cross gives the kind of help to individuals that you rarely hear about, because it doesn’t make headlines in the newspaper. “Red Cross, for instance, helps elderly people get to doc tors’ appointments... and even to the store. They help veterans get back on the track. They teach kids to swim... and how to save lives. “I found out that if you added up all the different humanitarian jobs Red Cross does in different towns, the number comes to over 100! “That’s why I’m helping to keep Red Cross ready. And why I hope you do, too.” Keep Red Cross ready.
