LINEBACKER GREGG BINGHAM (54) of the Houston Oilers closes his eyes and hopes for the best as he tries to drag down
,Pittsburgh running back John "Frenchy" Fuqua (33) in first period action from last night's NFL contest. Bingham succeeded
in throwing Fuqua for a four yard loss on this play, but the Houston defense was no match for Pittsburgh's as the Steelers
prevailed 32-9. The victory gave defending Super Bowl champ Pittsburgh undisputed possession of first place in the tough AFC
Central division.
RETAIN DIVISION LEAD
Steelers dump Oilers
TOUR OFFICE OPEN:
By The Associated Press
HOUSTON-Terry Bradshaw's
aerial artistry, thunderous run-
ning by Franco Harris and Pitts-f
burgh's Steel Curtain defense
carried the Steelers to an easy
32-9 National Football League
victory over the Houston Oilers
last night.
Bradshaw completed 13 of 16
passes for 168 yards, including
an 18-yard touchdown strike to
Lynn Swann, while Harris rum-
bled for 149 yards on 21 carries
and touchdown runs of four and
13 yards.
The touchdown pass and Har-
ris' first scoring run came in a
1:28 span late in the second
period and all but knocked
Houston out of the nationally
televised game.
THE VICTORY gave the Steel-
ers a 9-1 record and a one-game
lead over Cincinnati in the
American Conference's Central
Division. The Oilers, losing for
the second time in three weeks
to Pittsburgh, fell to 7-3, two
games back.
Frenchy Fuqua added a 13-
yard touchdown run and Roy
Gerela had a 30-yard field goal
for Pittsburgh.
But it was the Steelers' de-
fense, as much as their offense,
that paved the way to victory.
It sacked Oiler quarterback Dan
Pastorini four times and limited
him to 17 completions in 32 pass-
ing attempts for 172 yards.
AND 39 OF those yards came
on one play, a touchdown srtkie

Mauch to manage Twins
BLOOMINGTON, Minn.-The Minnesota Twins broke prece-
dent yesterday when they went out of their own organization and
signed veteran manager Gene Mauch to a three-year contract.
"I felt I owed it to a person of his capabilities to give him
more than a one-year contract," said Minnesota President Calvin'
Griffith, who signed Mauch to a contract through the 1978 season$
at an estimated $70,000 a year. "We wanted someone who would:
be tough on the players in a fundamental sense and he cer-
tainly fills the bill."

By SCOTT LEWIS
Facing tough competition in
their first meet of the season,:
Michigan's gymnastics team
managed to take a fourth place'
in last weekend's Windy City
Invitational.
Twelve teams competed in
the meet, in which no individ-
ual honors were given out ex-
cept for all-around. In team
points, Indiana State topped all
entrants, Iowa State placed sec..
ond, and Southern Illinois fin-
ished in third place.
MICHIGAN'S OUTSTANDING,
performer was Pierre Leclerct
who took third place in the all-:
around competition.
Leclerc's performance helped
the team overcome the absence
of Harley Danner, last year's
Big Ten all - around champ,
who will be out of action until
January. Danner suffered a'
knpe injurv earlier this fall.
"We definitely missed his
presence in the all-around," said!
Coach Newt Loken. "We'll be.
clad to get him bark fn thi
ed. "We did a super job on com-
pulsories, but we slipped a bit!
on optionals."
Indiana State's Kurt Thomasj
and Doug Griffith took the first
two places, respectively, in the
all-around.
Other strong finishers for
Michigan were Richard Bigras
in the all-around, and Bob
Creek on the high bar.
Two freshmen - Nigel Roth-
well on floor exercises, vault-
ing, and parallel bars, and John
Corritorre on parallel bars -
also came through with respec-
table performances.
