By United Press International
The Miami Dolphins' dreams of an undefeated National Football League season were ruined yesterday when Buford McGee ran 25 yards for a touchdown at 3.17 in overtime to give the San Diego Chargers a 34-28 victory in a battle of strong armed quarterbacks.
The Chargers 6.6, scored on the opening drive of overtime, handling the Dolphins their first loss in 12 games.
San Diego moved the ball into field goal range on the final drive, but Coach Don Coryell decided to keep the Ball on the ground to avoid an interception and rookie McGee made that strategy pay off by running around right end for the score.

Illini defeat Sooners in tip-off game
By United Press International
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - University of Illinois center George Montgomery knew his job was to stop Wayman Tisdale, but he never dreamed he'd have an exceptional game against the two-time All-America forward
"My role was to keep him from getting the ball." Montgomery said yesterday. Montgomery limited Tisdale to 19 points as the Iliami, ranked No. 2 in the preseason, defeated No. 5 University of Oklahoma 81-64 in the sixth annual Tip-Off Classic, which officially opens the college basketball season.
Montgomery had 17 points and 10 rebounds.
Oklahoma coach Billy Tubbs said he expected a let of teams to duplicate Illinois' strategy.
Illinois coach Lou Henson said his team's game plan centered around stopping Oklahoma's inside game.
Tisdale, who played on the 1984 U.S. Olympic team, was sometimes triple teamed by Illinois and fouled twice during 42 seconds left in the game.
"It's the same old game—three or four guys knocking the heck out of him," said Tubis. "I didn't think Illinois' defense was that tough. We just didn't do anything on offense."
Volleyball season over
A first round loss to Iowa State ended the volleyball team's season Friday at the Big Eight Conference Championships in Norman, Okla.
The Jayhawks lost to the Cyclones 11-15, 16-14, 3-15 and 6-15. They finished the season with a 5-30 record and no conference victories.
"We played pretty good volleyball," head coach Bob Lockwood said. "In the first game, it was tied 11-11, and Iowa State won it. In the second game, Iowa State was up by two points. After the match, we got a lot of good compliments from players, coaches and spectators, which was nice."
Nebraska, the overwhelming favorite to win the tournament, held true to form and finished first by 14-5 in Missouri in the finals, 15-11, 15-4, 15-11.
One problem that has plagued the
Jayhawks this year, lack of enthusiasm during the game, was not a problem Friday. Lockwood said.
Beth Vivian, one of the two seniors,
said the fact that she would no longer
be playing volleyball had not yet
sunk in.
"We weren't tat at all," Lockwood said. "We had two seniors who were both playing their last game, and they were going to Iowa State just played a good game."
"I went into the match hoping it wouldn't be my last, and when the last point was over, it really hit hard," Vivian said. "I have a lot of sentiment about it. It is hard to believe that we haven't been doing since my freshman year in high school is no longer a part of my life."
Jan Hunt is the team's other senior.
Kansas City coach resigns; ex-King coach to take over
By United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jack McKinney resigned yesterday as head coach of the Kansas City Kings after a 1-8 start, and the club brought back Phil Johnson to replace him
Johnson earned National Basketball Association Coach of the Year honors during his first stint with the Kings in 1975 but was fired by Kansas City midway through the 1977-78 season after a 13-24 start.
121-113 to the Los Angeles Clippers for their third straight loss. McKinney was in the first-year of a three-year contract after having been hired in May as a replacement for Cotton Fitzsimmons.
"I do this regrettably because, for the past two months, I have been working very hard to get the team straightened out and turned into a solid NBA franchise." McKinney said. "Trying to do this has become extremely frustrating to me. The stress has given me many sleepless nights, until I have reached a point of being burned out.
Mckinney's resignation came one day after Kansas City had fallen
