Eagles Sink Dolphins, 14-10

MIAMI (AP)- Philadelphia sputtered least Saturday night and the Eagles delivered the National Football League's third straight knockout punch on the Miami Dolphins, 14 10, in a preseason game at the Orange Bowl

John Huarte, the Eagles' No. 2 quarterback, was less than sensational but managed to hook up with speedy Harold Jackson on a 87-yard scoring pass that spurred the Eagles.

Safety Dick Anderson lifted Miami into contention with his second interception midway through the fourth quarter. Jim Kiick barreled over from the 3-yard line to cut the deficit to 14-10 with 8:45 to play.

The Eagles' massive front four halted all Miami threats thereafter and Philadelphia joined Minnesota, which beat the American Football League Dolphins 45-10, and Chicago, a 16-10 winner here a week ago, as conquerors of the fourth-year expansion team

Rick Norton stood in for regular quarterback Bob Griese and, although moving the ball well, failed to generate points for the winless Dolphins.

Philadelphia is 1-1 after losing to Atlanta 13-7 in its preseason opener last week.

The starting quarterback, Norm Snead, moved them 47 yards for the first touchdown, with Cyril Pinder going over from the three-yard line to score.

Miami's first three points came on a 10-yard field goal by Karl Kremser
 

Miami quarterback Rick Norton did not have a good night. Right talking with Coach George Wilson.
