Stadler made an eight-footfor his third birdie of the round on the next hole then missed an easy four-foputt for eagle before settling for a birdie at No. 13. He rolled at least two more putts of less than eight feet past the hole on the final five holes. "I played very well from tee to green but just didn't get any putts in the hole," Stadler said. "I was fighting myself to make putts all day long. It was a real struggle on the greens." Despite his poor putting, Stadler said he'll be in the fight to the wire Sunday. "I don't much care who I play with, although my concentration should be better playing with the pros instead of the amateurs," he said. "I'll just go out and play my game. I'm playing well enough to win. If a few putts drop, I'll be OK. Floyd jumped into a share of second place with a brilliant chip shot at No. 14 that ran into the cup for a birdie and by holing a difficult downhill putt for birdie on the 18th hole. er and Fergus, who began the day six strokes behind Fought, both shot ot to vault into contention.

Redskins Earn Trip to Super Bowl - and Hogeboom threw Just (UPI) when it appeared an unknown quarterback would end their season on the Super Bowl doorstep, the NFLs best kept secret struck quickly and decisively. WASHINGTON played a crucial role in the victory as they recovered a fumble on Rod Hill's punt return to set up Riggins' first TD. An NFC title kickoff return by record Mike Nelms immediately following Pearson's scoring catch and paved the way for Riggins' second score of the game.

"I thought I played well but we were in a catch up situation,." said Hogeboom, who had just three NFL completions entering the game. "I did the best I could and 11-- 1, Y long way," said Theismann.

At the end of the game, the Washington fans celebrated the team's second trip to the Super Bowl by swarming onto the field as cannons blasted. The Redskins were called back onto the field as the 122nd straight sellout crowd of 55,045 rocked RFK Stadium with cheers. Minutes after both teams were in their lockerrooms, the referee ruled there was still 12 seconds remaining. The Cowboys came back onto the field for one more play as rain began to fall but with Pearson taking the snap, Dallas didn't even attempt to move the ball as fans returned to the field and quickly tore down a goalpost. The Redskins combined the bullish runs of Riggins with a costly Dallas fumble to build a advantage at intermission. After the Cowboys marched 75 yards following the opening kickoff to take a 34) lead on Septien's Man-ley- 's 14-- 3 field goal, Washington went ahead 3 with 1:55 left in the opening period on Theismann's TD pass to Brown. On their next possession, the Redskins drove to the Dallas 10, but Mark Moseley, who set an NFL record with 23 straight field goals during the regular season, hit the left upright from 27 yards out with 8:23 left in the half. Meanwhile, the Dallas offense appeared befuddled by a Washington defense that allowed a 14 points per game league-loduring the regular season. With 4:52 remaining in the half, Hill dropped Jeff Hayes' punt and linebacker Monte Coleman recovered for Washington on the Dal- ?SP". M Hancock Santiago Four outsmarted.

There are two reasons for that. BYU is a great team, a one and very physical. They got after us. And we were tired. We didn't have much left in us. Our schedule forced too many kids to play too many minutes in too short a time. We ran out of well-coach- ed gas."

When asked if White could have returned in the second half, Landry said the quarterback never came to him and told him he was fit to return after absorbing a crushing hit by Manley in the final seconds of the first half. "I was hoping he'd be able to punt for us because we didn't have another punter," said Landry. "Unfortunately, we didn't have to punt because we kept throwing interceptions. "They beat everyone and they deserve it. I'm disappointed, but next year they won't pick us for the Super Bowl and it will help." Manley, who had to be muzzled by Gibbs during the week leading up to the game for his outspoken remarks about Dallas, said he was tired of his club playing in the shadow of the Cowboys. "I'm from Texas and this means a lot to me," said Manley. "I hope they respect us now. When White got hurt, I hit him square in the f acemask and he fell heavily." John Riggins scored on runs of 1 and 4 yards and set a playoff record with his 140 yards on 36 carries. The bullish fullback became the first NFL player to post three consecutive playoff games in the same season.
