Page Six Daily Herald, Tuesday, September 24,1985 Sacked RamsD 1 ByMARCMcFARLAlfo SEATTLE (UP1) Respite impressive statistics, Doug Reed figured Dave Krleg would have a difficult time against the Los Angeles Rams Monday night. Krieg was the top-rated passer in the NFL last week and the Seattle Seahawks were 2-0. But last night, Krieg was sacked seven times for 61 yards in losses and intercepted twice as the Rams downed Seattle 35-24. "It was not surprise to me," said Reed, the Rams defensive end who had a game-high three sacks for minus-24 "If it happens in practice, it's going to come in the game. We're a bad group of guys, so it's really hard to keep us out.

"We shut down the run, too." Seattle's Curt Warner ran for just 32 yards and Seattle managed only 44 yards rushing. Meanwhile, LA's Eric Dickerson made his 1985 debut something special by romping for 150 yards and three touchdowns in helping the Rams improve to 3-0. Krieg declined to blast his line's blocking or lack thereof. "We just got beat," he said simply. "We've just got to come back and do better next week." Dickerson, who set an NFL record last year of 2,105 yards rushing, missed the first two games of this season because of a contract dispute.

He ran 31 times against the Seahawks and said he served notice he's back Twice: hawks, 35-24 and better than ever. "I think I played very well," he said. "I thought I was ready to play. Y'all didn't think 1 was ready to play but I fooled y'all," Rams coach John Robinson said his star running back caught up on missed pre-season work during the first three periods. "Eric had training camp the first three quarters," Robinson said.

"The fourth quarter was regular season for him. Seattle was after Dickerson all night and Eric wore them down." Brock, the former Canadian Football League quarterback, also proved he can play in the NFL, throwing for 203 yards. He completed 12-of-24 attempts, including a 19-yard scoring toss to wide receiver Bobby Duckworth. Krieg spent much of the evening on his back but still managed to complete 23-of-45 passes for 267 yards and a touchdown. Duckworth led all receivers with four catches for 98 yards.

Seattle's Steve Largent caught six passes for 88 yards to become the NFL's eighth all-time receiving leader with a 8,979 yards. He has caught at least one pass in no-straight games. After the teams played to a 7-7 halftime tie, the Rams changed the tone of the ganie quickly in the third quarter. Los Angeles needed just 1:46 to drive 80 yards for a score early in the period. Brock lofted a 19-yard pass to Duckworth, who grabbed it in the corner of the endzone to; give the Rams a 14-7 lead.

On the ensuing kickoff Randall Morris fumbled and Mark Jerue recovered on the Seattle 2. On the next play, Dickerson crashed in to lift LA to a-21-7 advantage with 12-57 remaining in the third quarter. Seattle narrowed the gap to 21-10 on a 26-yard field goal by Norm'Johnson with 3:55 remaining. In the fourth quarter, Krieg turned a fumbled snap into a touchdown pass that drew the Seahawks to 21-17. Krieg picked up the hobbled snap near the right sideline and fired a 4- yard scoring strike to Danny Greene with 6:48 left.

LA countered with a six-play, 80- yard march capped by Dickerson's 15-yard touchdown run to pull ahead 28-17. Safety Johnnie Johnson added to Seattle's woes with a 27-yard interception return for a touchdown to give the Rams a 35-17 lead with 1:45 left. Seattle closed the scoring when backup quarterback Gale Gilbert fired a 37-yard touchdown pass to Daryl Turner. Dickerson opened the scoring with a l-yard run in the first quarter. Seattle fought back to a tie at halftime on a 28-yard interception return by cornerback Dave Brown.

Guerrero Returns to Lineup to Bolster Dodgers' Pennant Drive By GERRY MON1GAN UPI Sports Writer With the return of Pedro Guerrero to the lineup and Enos Cabell to Houston, the Los Angeles Dodgers are again flying toward the National League West pennant. "It was good to get back in," said Guerrero, who went 3-for4, drove in one run and scored the go-ahead, run to help the Dodgers to a 5-3 victory over the Astros last night. "I was ready to play." Cabell, who spent seven-plus seasons with the Astros before traded to Los Angeles July 10th, made his first appearance in the Astrodome since the trade, and delivered a pinch-hit, two-run single in the eighth to break a 3-3 tie. "I probably had as many fans in the stands as they (Astros) did," Cabell said. "I like those guys, they're my friends.

I grew up in the majors with them. But I was excited to get the hit. 1 think we're back on track." The victory increased the Dodgers' lead in the West to six games over second-place Cincinnati, which was idle. Their magic number to clinch at least a tie for the division is eight. Last week Los Angeles lost three games in a row and allowed Cincinnati to within 4Vj games of first place.

"I know their pitching staff real well," Cabell said. "Jeff (Calhoun) had thrown me all fastballs away before, but this time he came with the fastballs inside." Guerrero, who missed the last 17 games with a sprained wrist, has been especially phenomenal against the Astros this season, going 19-for-49 with eight homers and 15 RBI. "I think he's the most valuable player in the league," said Houston pitcher Bob Knepper, who must face Guerrero today. "Just look at the month he had in June 15 homers, 27 RBIs. They'd be in second or third place without him." Cabell is even more impressed with Guerrero since becomming his teammate.

"I had played against him in this league for a long time, but I didn't know what a clutch player he was until I got here," Cabeil said. "He's unbelievable. He makes this offense awesome instead of better than average." Tom Niedenfuer pitched two innings for his 17th save. Calhoun, 2-4, took the loss. In other games, St.

Louis edged Pittsburgh 5-4, New York whipped Philadelphia 4-1, Montreal overpowered Chicago 10-7 and San Francisco topped San Diego 7-2. Cardinals 5, Pirates 4 At St. Louis, Terry Pendleton hit a two-out, two-run triple in the eighth, rallying the Cardinals to their fourth straight comeback victory. They have won 11 of their last Louis remains three games ahead of New York in the East. Each team has 12 games, including three with each other, left to play.

Mets 4, Phillies At Philadelphia, Gary Carter hit his 30th homer of the season, a two- run shot with two out in the third, his 16th gamewinning hit. Rick Aguilera improved to 9-6, and Roger McDowell pitched three innings to earn his 16th save. Fred Toliver, 0-2, took the loss. Expos 10, Cubs 7 At Chicago, rookie Andre Galarraga and Doug Frobel led a five-homer attack with eighth-inning blasts, helping the Expos snap a six- game losing streak. The game was delayed 43 minutes because of rain in the first inning and was played in shifting 25 mph winds and occasional showers.

Giants 7, Padres 2 At San Diego, the Giants scored seven unearned runs in support of Atlee Hammaker, mathematically eliminating the defending NL champions. The decision, combined with Los Angeles' 5-3 victory in Houston, ensured that the Padres, who went to the World Series last year, can not repeat. Chisox Chop Angels' Lead to Half-Game By MIKE TULLY PI ational aseball riter Two men who have been to the playoffs Monday night reminded the California Angels how difficult it can be to get there. Harold Baines, who led Chicago to the 1983 American League West title, and Luis Salazar, a member of San Diego's 1984 National League champions, hit home runs to give the White Sox a 6-5 Victory over the Angels. The decision prevented California from gaining ground on idle Kansas City, and dropped the Angels' lead to a half-game over the Royals in the AL West.

Tyrone JV Gridders Third Straight Tyrone High's Jayvee footballers scored on their first possession of the game, shut down visiting Hollidaysburg with tough defense, and added an 'insurance' touchdown late in the game to ring up their third straight triumph here yesterday, 16- Todd Stark blasted 65 yards for the early TD and then motored 63 for the other one with 5:46 remaining, while Bob Mertiff hooked up with Tim Stringer twice for 2-point PAT conversions to round out the scoring. H-burg pushed as close as the T-3 In the 3rd quarter only to be turned away as the Baby Eagles took the ball away on downs. Martin Will Manage Yanks Rest of Season By MIKE TULLY UPI National Baseball Writer NEW YORK (UPI) Having introduced the lie detector test to the national pastime, the New York Yankees return home tonight without dignity or much hope of contention. Phil Niekro will be aiming for career victory No. 300 in New York's first home appearance since manager Billy Martin became involved in two separate scuffles over the weekend.

The most serious of the incidents involved Martin and right-hander Ed Whitson. Whitson's lawyer, Tom Reich', said the pitcher's version of the fight differed from Martin's, and he added his client was willing to take a lie detector test. It was learned Martin, who suffered a broken right arm in the fight with Whitson, will continue as manager through the remainder of the regular season Oct. 6. A club spokesman said Whitson, a disappointment after being signed to a $4-4 million free-agent contract last; winter, was npt listed in the club's' starting rotation through Thursday.

is disturbed that several other Yankee players, including Dave Righetti, Dale Berra, Rickey Henderson and Rich Bordi, are known to have been in the bar during at least one of the incidents. "As much as I'm concerned about the fights, I'm even more upset about the curfews and the fact so many players were in the bar that late at night before a day game," Steinbrenner said from Tampa, Fla "Otherwise I don't have anything else to say until I get the reports." Steinbrenner sent General Manager Clyde King and Woody Woodward, the vice president for baseball administration, to Baltimore to investigate the circumstances of the fight between Martin and Whitson. "I'm not going to do anything at all before I know all the facts," Steinbrenner said. "I'm not going to do anything until I have a chance to talk to Billy; I Intend to do that sometime later this week." 1 Even before Friday night's Incident, when Martin got involved in a shoving match with a ypung man, report developed that he would be "I get paid for playing 162 games so 1 go out and play every day like we have a shot," said Baines. "We feel we still have an outside chance to win this.

That's the funny thing about baseball. We're still playing like we have a shot at it." "I guess, I've got to walk Baines every time he comes to bat or get a pistol and shoot him," California manager Gene Mauch said. "We had a chance to score a lot of runs," Mauch said. "There is no telling how many we could have scored." "You've got to give the Angels credit," said Chicago manager Tony LaRussa. "They kept coming back.

They never give up." Gene Nelson, 10-10, went six innings, allowing three runs, walking six and striking out four. Bob James pitched the final inning for his 29th save. Baines' 2lst homer of the season, with two out in the first, gave the White Sox a 1-0 lead. California tied the score l-l in the second on Doug DeCinces' 17th homer of the year. Salazar followed one-out singles by Joel Skinner and Rudy Law in the third with his 10th homer of the year, off starter Don Sutton, 15-9.

In other games, Toronto beat Milwaukee 5-1, Detroit edged Boston 2-1, Texas clobbered Seattle 11-4 and Oakland outlasted Cleveland 8-7. Blue Jays 5, Brewers At Toronto, Jesse Barfield hit his 25th homer of the season, and Tom Henke squelched a Milwaukee threat in the seventh inning to help the Blue Jays reduce their magic number for clinching the East title to eight. Toronto leads second-place New York by six games. Tigers 2, Red Sox 1 At Boston, Juan Berenguer and Willie Hernandez combined on a five- hitter, and Lance Parrish drove in the game-winning run in the third inning. Berenguer, 5-5, allowed four hits and one unearned run while walking two and striking out six in 7 1-3 innings.

Hernandez finished for his 30th save of the season.

run. The Falcons moved to 4-0 as Chad Christine set the pace with TD runs of 21, 6 and 4 yards, a PAT run and a pair of 2-point PAT passes to Mike Emigh. John Light's 56-yard gallop provided the other Falcon TD, while the Wolfpack's lone score came on a 1-yd. smash by Chris Brooks. The defending champion Lions finally got themselves untracked in the other game, turning back the Cougars as Opie Romano tallied TDs on 21 and 49-yard pass plays from Mike Reader and a one-yard run and passed to Toby Bickle for a 2-point PAT.

GAMES Sept, 28 (Lower TAHS practice Held; 1st game at 12:30 p.m.) Falcons vs Rams; Cougars vs Wolfpack; Lions vs Eagles. Notre Dame, Illinois, Georgia and Washington have come and gone from the top 20 replaced by such newcomers to the nation's elite as Virginia, Air Force and Kansas. All three are making their debut in the ratings this season. For mh-ranked Virgina, 2-0, the move into the top 20 continues the recent surge of its football program. In 1982, the Cavaliers were 2-9 in Coach George Welsh's first season and have followed with an 8-5 mark in 1983 and an 8-2-2 showing last year culminated by a Peach Bowl victory.

Air Force, 3-0 and ranked 18th, also has been drawing more national attention of late. The Falcons finished the 1983 season ranked 15th and were 8-4 with an Independence Bowl triumph last year. However, this is a total turnaround for Kansas, 3-0. The Jayhawks last winning season was 1981. Their opposition so far this season has not been great and a good deal more will be known about them after No.

5 Florida State visits Saturday. Virginia is one spot ahead of Southern Cal. The Trojans, upset by Baylor last weekend, fell from No. 3 to 16th in the latest rankings. Iowa (504 points) climbed one spot into USC's vacated No.

3 position. Ohio Stale (467) and Florida State (455) each rose a notch, as well, to round out the top five. No. 6 Penn State, which defeated East Carolina, and seventh-ranked Oklahoma State, which was idle, exchanged positions. Louisiana State climbed one spot to No.

8 while Michigan jumped six places to No. 9 and Alabama moved from 12th to 10th. Michigan and Oklahoma State each received a first-place vote. UCLA beat San Diego State to move from 13th to llth while Brigham Young, with a lackluster victory at Temple, fell two spots to No. 12.

Arkansas climbed a spot to No. 13 and Nebraska, with its crushing victory over Illinois, improved from 17th to 14th. Maryland advanced one place to No. 15. Texas held on at No.

19. South Carolina and West Virginia, big losers to Michigan and Maryland, respectively, and Arizona fell from the ratings. The top six teams appeared on all 42 ballots. The Big Eight had four representatives in the rankings. The Big Ten and Southeastern Conferences had three each all in the top 10.

The Pacific-lO, Atlantic Coast, Southwest and Western Athletic Conferences each had two teams in the ratings, and there were two independents.
