One Time Roger Forgot To Dodge One Time Roger Forgot To Dodge
Dallas quarterback Roger Staubach was punched by teammate Clint Longley and needed stitches near his eye. Longley was suspended as Staubach prepared to return for a preseason game against Denver, while Danny White would start the second half. Staubach said he could play Saturday, and White completed 10 of 21 passes for 101 yards in a prior loss to the Rams. Denver's Broncos sit at 1-2 after a 17-7 defeat to San Francisco, with rookie Craig Penrose showing promise. The NFL weekend opens with the Jets at Raiders in New York.

Robinson Delivers As Pinch Hit Seals Indians Victory
Cleveland manager Frank Robinson called on himself as a clutch pinch-hitter with bases loaded and one out in the bottom of the ninth to beat the Texas Rangers 5-4. He singed a single for the decisive run after John Lowenstein doubled and Larvell Blanks and Rick Manning followed with hits to force the late rally. Boog Powell sparked an early Indians lead with a three run homer as New York, Oakland and Boston won elsewhere in abbreviated AL action.
