Baltimore-LA clash in spotlight
By United Press International Coach Don Shula, whose flair for the dramatic backfired last week against Cleveland, would gladly trade in his director's chair for a crystal ball as his Baltimore Colts prepare for their showdown battle Sunday against the unbeaten Los Angeles Rams.
With the Colts facing the Rams (6-0) and in danger of falling two games behind in the National Football League's tough Coastal Division, Shula still can't decide whether to start Johnny Unitas, sore elbow and all, or Earl Morrall, who guided the Colts to five straight victories this season.
Last week Shula inserted Unitas into the lineup in the second half with the Colts trailing 14-7 for a psychological lift, but the quarterback's rustiness and the uncooperative Cleveland defense ruined Shula's visions of a Hoollywood ending. Baltimore was upset, 30-20.
Unitas completed only one of 11 passes and had three of his tosses intercepted while continually overthrowing his receivers. The Johnny come-lately Baltimore fans, forgetting Unitas' accomplishments over the years, hanged the quarterback in effigy after the game with a sign reading: "This Bum is dead."
Now Shula is faced with the problem of starting a sore-armed star or his healthy understudy, forgetting perhaps that for the nonpareil Rams' defensive unit, it may not make any difference who is calling the signals. The game is rated a tossup.
In other NFL action Sunday, New York is a three-point favorite over the Redskins at Washington; the Lions are four over San Francisco at Detroit; the Steelers are 1½ over Philadelphia at Pittsburgh; the Brownies are 14-point picks over Atlanta at Cleveland.
Minnesota is $2\frac{1}{2}$ over the Bears
at Chicago, St. Louis is eight
Dallas is still trying to even the score with the Packers after two title game defeats and will try to take advantage of the injury-riddled world champions.
over New Orleans at home, and in a nationally—televised game Monday night, Dallas is seven over Green Bay in the Cotton Bowl.
The Rams have beeben suttering from injuries of their own with running backs Rick Bass and Tommy Mason having been injured this season. Willie Ellison filled-in well last week against Atlanta, rushing for 89 yards and catching four passes.
Roman Gabriel ranks eighth in passing with 85-of-159 for 1,052 yards and nine TD's. The Rams have won 14 straight regular season games dating back to last season.
Both quarterback Bart Starr and guard Jerry Kramer are hurt and will be below par if they play against the Cowboys.
Stram discards 'flying wedge'; might still surprise San Diego
Hank Stram won't be using the flying wedge formation Sunday when his Kansas City Chiefs tangle with the hard-hitting San Diego Chargers, but don't be surprised if the cagey Chiefstain comes up with some less primitive but equally effective means of moving the football.
The Chiefs and Chargers tangle at Kansas City in the big game on the American Football League schedule and a capacity crowd is expected to watch the battle between the AFL's two highest-scoring teams.
Leadership in the tight Western Division race is at stake as
the sledgehammering Chiefs and the quick-striking Chargers collide. Kansas City leads the division race with a 6-1 mark while San Diego is 5-1.
Stram shocked the football establishment last week when he dusted off the straight T-formation against the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders, unable to adjust to the formation which died a natural death following World War II, fell to the Chiefs. 24-10.
Kansas City takes a five-game winning streak into the contest, longest in club's history, while San Diego comes off a 55-24 triumph over the Denver Broncos.
Top game in the Eastern Division sends the Boston Patriots (3-3) against the division leading New York Jets (4-2) at Shea Stadium. The Jets are favored by 11.
The Jets took the first game between the two clubs earlier this season but the return to health of Jim Nance is expected to strengthen Boston.
In other games Sunday, Cincinnati is at Oakland, Houston at Buffalo, and Miami at Denver.
Houston is a 4½-point favorite, Oakland is picked by 20 over Cincinnati, and the Miami-Denver contest is rated even.

Dallas, which has the most potent offense in the league, was held to only 177 yards total offense by Minnesota as the Cowboy defense came through to save the day.
Both St. Louis and New Orleans are tied with Cleveland for the Century Division lead, and both teams are primed for this one. The Cardinals have won three of their last four while the surprising Saints are riding the arm of Bill Kilmer, a 91-of-161 for 1,057 yards and seven TD's, to an incredible year.

Volkswagen announces automatic Better late than never.
The Volkswagen Squareback and the Volkswagen Fastback are now available with a fully automatic transmission.
So now you can drive a Volkswagen and not even know you're driving a Volkswagen.
Except for a few reminders.
Like the 25 miles you get to a gallon of regular gas. The oil you still take by the pint. And the time and money you don't spend on anti-freeze.
Of course, the new automatic is strictly optional. Just like on most other cars.
But we've got something no other car offers even as an option. Electronic fuel injection.
And it's as standard as the electric clock, electric rear window defroster, 49-position front seats, front disc brakes and wall-to-wall carpeting.
All of which is enough to make you forget it's a Volkswagen all over again.
