Two times Staubach rallied his troops in as pulsating a game as the National Football League can turn out, the final comeback ending with an eight-yard touchdown pass to Tony Hill only 39 seconds from the gun. That touchdown throw, Staubach’s third of the day, brought Dallas a 35-34 victory over Washing ton, gave the Cowboys the NFC East title and knocked the Redskins out of the playoffs just as it seemed they were going to be division champions. “It was a fantastic game, ” said Dal las coach Tom Landry. “We’ve done it before in this type of situation and Roger knows he can do it. “What else can I say about him. He is super in this type of situation.” For the Redskins, however, there could only be desolation. Not only had Washington lost to its bitterist rival, but it had gone from a cham pionship position to being out of the playoffs altogether in the span of a few seconds. “I’m heart broken,” said Redskin coach Jack Pardee. “Not just for my self, but for the players. I told them I was proud of them, that I love them, and that they had nothing to be ashamed of.” Dallas had overcome a 17-point deficit earlier in the game and appeared to have taken control of the contest in the third quarter. But Washington exploded for 17 points in the fourth period, the last of them coming on a 66-yard touch down run by John Riggins that gave the Redskins a 34-21 lead with 6:54 to go. The Cowboys got a flickering of hope, however, when Washington running back Clarence Harmon fum- So says the VA ...

Staubach promptly drove Dallas 59 yards in three plays and hit Ron Springs with a 26-yard touchdown pass that cut the deficit to six points. Dallas held Washington after the kickoff, tackle Larry Cole making a third-down stop of Riggins. Staubach then directed Dallas 75 yards in seven plays with the game winner coming on a lob pass from Staubach to Hill. Washington was knocked out of the playoffs, despite finishing with the same record as the Chicago Bears because Chicago had a better point differential for all 16 games. Chicago saw to that earlier in the day by mashing St. Louis, 42-6. Washington leaped in front, scor ing on a 24-yard field goal by Mark Moseley, a one-yard run by quarter back Joe Theismann, and a 55-yard touchdown pass from Theismann to Benny Malone. Dallas then started its first com eback, scoring on a one-yard run by Springs, on a 26-yard pass from Staubach to Preston Pearson with nine seconds left in the first half, and on a two-yard run by Robert New- United temple Americans 26th Davis Ca h; m lk-ons in t Ll ranks, 1 fhappier tl Kevin Ko: |ng the ei linto the ^ueen s o Ilhe kickin iVe’cl bee xtra poii see ever fckers are ueen sa be on out ,J, jjorompai United Press International SAN FRANCISCO — Stan Smith and Bob Lutz defeatedAi Panatta and Paolo Bertolucci of Italy, 6-4, 12-10, 6-2, Saturday the United States its second straight and 26th Davis Cupchampj ship.

It was the longest run of Riggins’ career and gave him his most successful season. Dallas will first appear in the play offs on the weekend of Dec. 29-30 against either Chicago (if the Bears beat Philadelphia in a wild card game next week) or Los Angeles. Staubach, finishing the season as the NFL’s leading passer, completed 24 of 42 passes for 336 yards and three touchdowns. Riggins, known more for his lumbering than for his long distance runs, picked up 151 yards on 22 carries.
