A roundup of the week Sept. 21-27
BOXING—LUPE PINTOR retained his WBC bantamweight title with a 15th-round knockout of Shinzo (Hurricane) Teru in Nagoya, Japan.
Matthew Saad Muhammad scored an 11th around TKO over Jerry Martin to retain his WBC light-heavyweight title in Atlantic City.
PRO FOOTBALL—The season's fourth Sunday was a family affair. Philadelphia Coach Dick Vermeil called on his nephew, Louie Giammona, in an effort to find a replacement for star Halfback Wilbert Montgomery, who was sidelined with a hamstring injury. Giammona gained 49 yards on the ground, another 47 on five catches and scored two TDs as the undefeated Eagles rolled up 22 fourth-quarter points and handed winless Washington a 36-13 loss. Another coach, Miami's Don Shula, couldn't call on his wide receiver son, Dave—because the elder Shula's Dolphins were busy dealing the younger Shula's Baltimore Colts a 31-28 defeat. It was the first time in NFL history that a father had coached against his son's team. Cleveland Coach Sam Rutigliano and Atlanta Coach Leeman Bennett aren't related, but they must be getting very familiar with each other. Bennett's NFC All-Stars beat Rutigliano's AFC All-Stars in the 1981 Pro Bowl, and Rutigliano beat Bennett when the Browns and Falcons met in this August's Hall of Fame Game. In the coaches' third meeting of the year Rutigliano went one-up, getting two TD passes and a one-yard scoring jaunt from Brian Sipe in a 28-17 win. And Denver Coach Dan Reeves kept Quarterback Craig Morton, his old teammate in Dallas, at the controls in the Broncos' 42-24 drubbing of San Diego. In the first half alone Morton responded with four scoring passes and Denver's league-leading defense held the potent Charger offense to 113 yards. Pittsburgh's Terry Bradshaw hit Lynn Swann with a 24-yard TD pass in sudden death to give the Steelers a 27-21 win over New England; Cincinnati handed Buffalo a 27-24 defeat, also in OT, when Jim Breech booted a 28-yard field goal. Jets Coach Walt Michaels, who spent the week fending off reporters and fans who called for his firing, got a vote of confidence from team President Jim Kensil. Thus buoyed, Michaels and the Jets rode Richard Todd's passing—25 of 39 for 312 yards, no interceptions and three TDs—to a 33-17 victory over Houston. Oakland suffered its first shutout since 1966, 16-0 to Detroit. Elsewhere, Dallas, 35-21 victors over New England on Monday night, turned back the Giants 18-10; Minnesota thumped Green Bay 30-13 as Tommy Kramer threw for two scores; Tampa Bay, which had just cut veteran Kicker Garo Yepremian, unveiled rookie Bill Capece, whose two field goals helped defeat St. Louis 20-10; Kansas City subdued Seattle 20-14; and San Francisco downed New Orleans 21-14.
