UPI Telephoto Bald Eagle Of The Proves Sensational By OSCAR FRAI.KV t'PI Sports Writer . MIAMI (UPII-The guy who saw it "live" is always scorn ful. Tell him you watched it on television and it's two to one, if he was there in the flesh, he'll condescend to straighten you out. Your angle was wrong, the referee had to bo in your way, you couldn't tell how hard the punches were and what do you know, anyhow. But I'd like to straighten out the guys who were in Yankee Stadium Sunday and in person saw the New York Giants whip the Pittsburgh Steelers. Rebuilding Job Begun For Luckless SF 49ers SAN FRANCISCO (UPP-The rebuilding job on the San Fran cisco Forty Nincrs starts to day. The Forty Niners, who lost (heir final ball game on Satur day to the Green Bay Packers but won a lot of friends doing K, will be loaded with new faces when llio 1984 roll call is sounded. Quarterback Lamar Mcllan, tackle Leo Komellini and back Joe Perry have announced tlvey are retiring. Tackle Bob St. Clair, who won the Len Esh mont $1,000 wrist watch award, is considering q u i 1 1 i n g the game. Several others w!k have had roii,'h going this season while the Forty Niners were stum bling through a 2-12 campaign, probably will be cut adrift so that the new draft choices will have a chance to make ood. But no matter what happens, the players today were unani mous in their hope that coach Jack Christiansen would be back at tlie holm. After San Francisco lost a toughie to Green Bay by a 17-21 score Saturday, tlie griddi-rs wont all out for the coach. "I hope tlie whole coaching ' staff returns," said guard Bruce JSosley. "This Is a yuiuig learn and will develop." said Nomellini. jjg NORELCO SPEED SHAYE'"''5'0 j Bliijj fj'tV" j PtU'brgh 7 4 3 .636 321 295 Dallas 4 10 0 .233 305 378 Washington 3 11 0 .214 279 338 Phj'dlpha 2 10 2 .167 242 331 Western Division Chicago II 1 2 .917 301 144 Green Bay 11 2 1 .846 369 206 They couldn't have seen what I saw on Hie video tube.

"I sure hope Christiansen is retained as coach," said quar terback John Urodie, who was out most of the season w ith an arm injury. The Forty Niners put on one of their finest exhibitions of the season in the loss to Green Bay. The vaunted Packer ground game, featuring fullback Jim Taylor and halfback Tom Moore, was fought to a stand still. It gained only 105 yards all day.

I can't take all the credit. Some must go to the camera men, who did a great job. But in case anybody up there missed it, the Bald Eagle of the Bronx was somewhat more than sensational. He flip)cd two in the first quarter, one for 32 yards and another for 41 yards and tlie Giants had gone 68 yards for their first touchdown. Threw 44-Yard Strike III the second quarter he whipped a 44-yard strike and then lofted a three-yard touch down pass. Then, in the third quarter, he covered 76 yards with three pitches. It was 29 yards, 25 yards and 22 yards and another fat six points. To cap it off, old Y.A. tlien whipped a 31-yard strike which was compounded by a 15-yard penalty good for a total of 46 yards. Next he pitched one to the one-yard stripe and Joe Morrison did a swan dive over the middle for the big six. All this man Tittle did was pitch three touchdown passes, running his season's total to a record :). and set up the clinch er in a 33-17 rout. ENTIRE STOCK SALE PRICED! Blfmre Detroit Minnesota superb defense against Y. A. Tittle and pro football's most explosive offense in the Nation al League's championship play off, Dec. 29. And who could ask for a more dramatic match-up? Although the Bears should be slight favorites for the show down at Chicago, the New York Giants undoubtedly consider them a refreshing change from the Green Bay Packers, who walloped tlicm two straight years in the title game. This will be tlie sixth playoff meeting between the Bears and Giants. No NFL division rivals ever have met as many times. The Bears haven't won a play, off title since 1946 when they beat the Giants. And the Giants' last playoff win was in 1956 when they beat the Bears. AFL Grid Battle Is Muddled Mess By Lnitrd Press International American Football League Eastern Division W L T Pet.

The San Diego Chargers clinched at least a tie for the Western Division championship by knocking over (lie Houston Oilers, 2M4, Sunday in a game loaded down with "firsts." It was the first time the Oil ers failed to win (he Western Division title since the league was formed in I960; it was the first time the Chargers ever beat the Oilers in Houston, and it also was the first time the young AFL ever lias been faced with the possibility of two play offs.

And tlie Giants extended their record total of Eastern Division championships to 14 with a 33-17 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in their winner-take-all game in New York. Both conference races thus were decided on the final Sun day of the season. Chicago fin ished with a record of 11 wins, one defeat and two ties; the Gi ants have an 11-3 record. The Packers and Cleveland Browns wound up in second place to qualify for the Playoff irunnerupi Bowl game at Mi tle hopes alive with a 35-31 vic tory ever Denver. San Diego's record now is 10-3 and Oakland's is 9-4. That means there could be a playoff between them if Denver defeats San Diego next Sunday and Oakland beats Houston. On Saturday Buffalo beat the New York Jets, 19-10 and Bos ton got kicked around 35-3 by Kansas City. ' The Oilers managed to keep the outcome of Sunday's game with the Chargers in doubt un til the last play. Houston was driving on San Diego's 35 at the final gun after scoring earlier in the period on Bo Dickinson's one-yard plunge. The Chargers scored all but three of their 20 .points in the second quarter after intercept ing three passes thrown by Houston quarterbacks Jacky Lee and George Blanda. San Diego quarterback Tobin Rote went over from the one following a 59-yard run by teammate Paul Lowe and Charger fullback Bob Jackson also scored from the one-yard line after linebacker EmilKaras picked off a Blanda pass. George Blair's 22-yard field goal, his first of two during the game, proved the decisive points. Flores tossed two touchdowns apiece to Art iPowell and Clem Daniels in Oakland's victory over Denver after opening the game with -a 32-yard scoring pass to Bo Rcberson. Although (he underdog Bron cos pulled to within four (joints of tlie Haiders twice, tiiey nev er were able to draw even.

It was another in a long line of steady laurels for the per sonable 21-year-old Navy quar terback, who also accumulated such other awards as the Heis man Trophy and Eastern Col legiate Athletic Confcdence Tro phy among many others. Staubach's designation as player of the year came by landslide proportions as he polled 210 votes out of a possi ble 291 among tlie nation's sportswriters and sportscasters who took part in the balloting. There was no one even re motely close to six-foot-two, 190-pound Jolly Roger, of whom his coach, Wayne Hardin says, "he's the greatest football play er I've ever seen." Previously chosen college football's back of tlie year by the UPI, Staubach piled up a 199-vole margin over his near est competitor, Baylor quarter back Don Trull, in the voting for the player of the year.

Tlie defenders held the Liuns within range while the Bears' popgun offense could produce only a field goal in the first half. Wade helped overcome the 7-3 halftime deficit by completing a pair of touchdown passes within three minutes and 21 seconds of the third period. He threw 51 yards to Johnny Morris and 22 yards to Mike Ditka fur a 17-7 lead. The Lions, still full of fight, battled back to score on a four yard run by Terry Barr and then the Bears' defense was called on for its finest efforts to keep Detroit from going ahead. First, the Bears stopped Georgia Tech quarterback Billy Lothridgc, each collected 10 votes. Halfback Sherm Lewis ot Michigan Stale drew eight votes, Auburn quarterback Jim my Sidle six and Illinois center Dick Butkus 5. Staubach, a junior from Cin cinnati who also plays baseball and basketball at the Naval Academy, was the second Navy man to gain tlie player of the year award since it was inau gurated 14 years ago. Joe Bel lino was tlie first Middie to be named in 1960. Possibly the most exciting player in the East this season, Staubach, who next sees action against top-ranked Texas in the Cotton Bowl on New Year's Day, already has set an all time Navy record for pass completions and total yardage for a single season. Staubach led the nation's quarterbacks in pass comple tions with a n e a r incredible 66.7 percentage, that figure tak ing in 108 completions along with seven touchdown passes. ay The Quililj Prrpjtit a Detroit penetration to the Chicago 27-yard line. Then, in tlie final minute, Dave Whitsell intercepted a pass and ran 39 yards for a clinching touchdown "with only 25 seconds remaining. Tittle l).rew three scoring , passes acainst the Steelers to j set an NFL record of 36 for a season. Joe Morrison caught two of these and scored anoth er TD on a one-yard plunge. The two crucial plays of the game, however, were a fumble by the Steelers' Gary Ballman alter he had caught a pass and was about a stride from the goal line; and a spectacular one-handed catch of a low pass hy New York's Frank Gifford that started the Giants on an important touchdown drive.
