The burden of Jim Dooley’s Total Offense concept
has shifted . . . most painfully for the Chicago Bears
. . . from the flashing feet of Gale Sayers to the hot
hands of young Virgil Carter.
No one will replace Sayers, injured during Sunday s
27-19 victory over San Francisco and lost for the rest of
the National Football League season, in the Bears’ back-
field.

But Dooley, the first-year Chicago coach who de-
vised an attack . . . which he called Total Offense . . .
to exploit Sayers' versatility at every turn, might take
some solace in the presence of Carter.
Total offense always has been the rookie quarter-
back's bag.
Sayers, the NFL’s top ball carrier, suffered lorn lig-
aments in his right knee in the second quarter and un-
derwent surgery Sunday night. But the Bears still rolled
to their fourth straight victory . . . and kept a share of
the Central Division lead, as Carter scored twice and
passed for a third touchdown.
The former Brigham Young ace holds the all-time
NCAA career record of 6,354 rushing-passing yards.
Elsewhere Sunday, the New York Giants stunned
Dallas' Capitol Division pace-setters 27-21; Baltimore
whipped Detroit 27-10; Los Angeles struggled past Atlan-
ta 17-10; Minnesota downed Green Bay 14-10; Cleveland
trounced New Orleans 35-17; Pittsburgh battled St. Louis
to a 28-28 stalemate and Washington trimmed Philadel-
phia 16-10.
Sayers picked up 32 rushing yards, pushing his sea-
son total to 856, before being cut down on a shoe string
tackle by the 49ers’ Kermit Alexander.
After operating on the damaged knee, Dr. Theodore
Fox, the Bears' team physician, said he expected Sayers
to make a complete recovery’.
Dr. Fox described the injury as a complete rupture
of all ligaments on the inner side of Sayers’ right knee,
as well as torn cartilage.
Carter, elevated from the taxi squad last month
, when an injury shelved first string quarterback Jack
Concannon, kept the Bears’ offense in gear against San
Francisco, flipping an 18-yard scoring pass to Bob Wal-
lace after dashing seven yards for one touchdown and
sneaking one yard for another.
Preston Pearson zipped 102 yards on a kickoff re-
[ turn, sending Baltimore ahead of Detroit to stay, and
Colts quarterback Earl Morrall completed a string of
i four victories over the four clubs with whom he played
j before hooking up with the Coastal Division contenders.
It’s still Ed Marshall of
Cameron and Manny Brit-
to of Northeastern holding
onto scoring leads among
Collegiate Conference
teams, independent Cam- g
eron and the lone junior
college Northeastern
A&M.
Central State’s Terry
Bryant scored one touch-
down and moved into third
place with 60 points on 10
tallies, one behind Britto
and Marshall with 11
touchdowns for 66 points.
Terry Ash to Northeast-
ern A&M’s leading scorer
with seven touchdowns, 11
extra points and two field
goals for 59 points and •
Doug Dodd, defending
scoring champ in the Col-
legiate Conference, is fifth
with 58 points on seven
touchdowns, 14 extra
points and one field goal.
Cameron’s James Young
and Panhandle’s John
Berthold have kicked 21
extra points apiece and
Central State’s Paul Hil-
gendorf has eight field
goals, which breaks a
school record of seven set ^
in the 1926 season by Dia- «
mond Roach.

George Blanda’s hand
still hasn’t lost its touch
and Jim Turner's toe re-
mains on target as well.
Blanda, Oakland’s 40-
year-old kicking specialist,
took over at quarterback
for injured Daryle Lamon-
ica and romped through
Denver like a juvenile,
leading the Raiders to a
43-7 victory over the Bron-
cos in the American Foot-
ball League Sunday.
Meanwhie kicker Turner
took over the AFL scoring
lead, helping New York to
a 26-7 victory over Houston
that all but clinched the
Jets’ first Eastern Division
title.
Blanda's heroics kept
the Raiders tied for second
with San Deigo, which
ripped Boston 27-17. Both
clubs are one-half game
behind Kansas City, which
rallied for a 16-9 triumph
over Cincinnati. In Sun-
day's other AFL game,
Miami rallied for a 21-17
decision over Buffalo.
It has been almost two
full seasons since Blanda
did any extensive signal
calling, but Oakland’s vet-
eran kicker called the
right ones against the
Broncos.
He pitched four touch-
down passes and kicked
two field goals to deomo-
lish Denver. Blanda fin-
ished with a flair, setting
an Oakland record with a
94-yard TD pass to Warren
Wells, who caught the ball
at midfield and simply out-
sprinted defender Drake
Garrett.
Turner, who kicked six
field goals last Sunday,
made it 10 in two weeks
and ran his season's point
total to 97 — one more
than Kansas City’s Jan
Stenerud. The Jets’ spe-
cialist connected from 14,
32, 28, and 21 yards as
New York opened a 31
game bulge in the Eastern
race and reduced its mag-
ic number for clinching
the division title to two.
Joe N a m a t h went
through his sixth straight
game without completing
a touchdown pass but hit
George Sauer often enough
to set up two TDs by Bill
Mathis as well as Turner’s
four field goals. Sauer
caught four for 128 yards.
Rookie Robert Holmes
raced 27 yards for Kansas
City’s winning touchdown
in the fourth quarter
against fired-up Cincin-
nati.
Dale Livingston’s third
field goal of the game had
given the Bengals a 9-6
lead midway through the
third period after Jess
Phillips had intercepted a
Jacky I^ee pass on the
Kansas City 35 and re-
turned it to the 13.
That brought injured
Len Dawson back into the
game and the veteran
quarterback marched the
Chiefs 70 yards to the Cin-
cinnati 10, from where Ste-
nerud’s third three-pointer
tied the score. Then
Holmes, who carried 21
times for 159 yards, won it
for KC.

KANSAS CITY (AP) -
Despite the shocking rev-
ersals which shook the Big
Eight Saturday, the con-
ference may still have two
bowl game representatives
come next Monday.
That’s the day NCAA
rules permit schools to ac-
cept bowl bids, and indica-
tions were Monday that
the Orange Bowl still is in-
terested in Kansas and
there can be no doubt that
Missouri now is a hot bowl
commodity.
Both, of course, must es-
cape upsets this week
when the Jayhawks play
at Kansas State and the
Tigers are at Oklahoma.
Both could run into pit-
falls.
Kansas was a cinch to
go to the Orange Bowl be-
f o r e the third-ranked
Hawks stumbled before
tenacious Oklahoma. 27-23,
Saturday, pinning the first
loss on KU after seven
straight victories this fall.
Missouri, which has won
seven in a row since open-
ing the season with a 12-6
loss to Kentucky, must get
by the Sooners at Norman.
But if the Tigers do escape
Oklahoma’s upset trap,
then both the Sugar and
Cotton Bowls are known to
be eager to land them.
And, the Orange Bowl
might switch and go after
Missouri.
All of the bowl people
most vitally interested will
be gambling on who wins
the Missouri-Kansas battle
November 23 at Columbia,
Mo.
Missouri swamped Iowa
State, 42-7, Saturday in the
only form-book outcome in
the Big Eight.
Besides the shocker at
Lawrence, Kan., where
Oklahoma struck down
Kansas, Kansas State
stunned Nebraska, 12-0, to
bitter disappointment of
65,986 Comhusker home-
coming fans, and Oklaho-
ma State whipped Colora-
do, 34-17.
Three of the happiest
men in the Midwest Satur-
day were Oklahoma’s
Chuck Fairbanks, Kansas
State’s Vince Gibson and
O k 1 a h o ma State’s Phil
Cut chin.
*Tve won a couple that
felt pretty good,” said
Fairbanks, ‘‘but this one
really felt good. I’ve never
had a team practice so
hard for a game. They just
realized what a tremen-
dous challenge this game
was and the electricity got
into the air.”
Gibson, whose Wildcats
broke a string of 24
straight Big Eight losses,
was ecstatic. "Boy, did we
need that one." he said.
"I’m so proud of those
kids it’s hard to come up
with the proper words."
"We didn't do any mas-
terminding,” Cutchin said
of the Cowboys’ win over
Colorado. “We got our best
offensive and defensive ef-
forts of the season."
