"That blocked, punt, a fumble and some of those penalties in the first half really hurt us," Coryell said. "It would have been easy for us to give up, but we didn't. The only trouble was, we were playing against a bunch of fighters too," the coach said.

Anderson, although raising his season touchdown total to 11, rushed only six times for 39 yards. He gained 24 yard more on two pass receptions. "Donny played a great game," Coryell said. "I cannot remember a bad play by him. It is just too bad we were playing catch-up ball and were not able to give bim the ball more." Anderson, traded to St.

Louis two years ago amid personal disagreements with Devine, insisted he bears no grudge. "I am not that kind of guy," he said. "I have a lot of great memories here." "The only important thing is winning," he continued. "We needed a victory, but they've got a great team here. They've been down.

They had to play a great game, and they did."

The 14-yarder came on fourth-down-and-one on the Cardinal 40. "We had a thlrd-and-one on the series before, and I called that same weak-side run. But they stopped it," Tagge said. "I came to the bench and told Coach Devine: I am going to run that play again if we get another chance," he related.

"We did, and it worked." Brockington said the plays were simple dives over tackle. "All five blockars just took off and controlled the line of scrimmage," he said. "When they do that, you can run anywhere." "The big thing this week was I got a chance to run," Brockington said. "We had the holes last week too," he said, "but we couldn't run as much because we were behind. Today the blocking was just outstanding.

Those guys took off like It was the last game they would ever play." "Brock was running harder than I have ever seen anybody run," guard and offensive captain Gale Gillingham said. Gillingham, whose teammates awarded him the game ball, said: "This is a helluva bunch of guys. It would have been pretty easy to fold our tents, but obviously we didn't. The offense never got down on the defense, and the defense never got down on the offense. We just made up our minds to do it because Dan and Rollie (line coach Rollie Dotsch) had.

faith and stuck with us." The Packers received unexpected help from Goodman, who came in after MacArthur Lane injured a knee in the fitrst half. Devine said the injury did not seem serious. "I was just hoping we would get far enough ahead so I could play," Goodman said. "I was nervous at first, but Gilly and By MIKE O'BRIEN GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -It wasn't fancy, but it didn't have to be, not with John Brockington and his pad-pounding blockers back in form.

The Green Bay Packers, averaging just 75 yards from scrimmage in three previous games, erupted for 305 Sunday behind home-grown quarterback Jerry Tagge. Brockington accounted for 137 yards, a personal season high, In 28 carries as Green Bay countered a St. Louis comeback with ball control and won 25-21. Atlanta reject Les Goodman, a rookie who had never carried In a National Football League regular-season game, added 56 yards in 11 attempts. Chester Marcol contributed four field goals to help the Packers snap a three-game losing streak.

"I am sure the old Pack is back. They are going to win a lot more games," Cardinal coach Don Coryell said. The Cardinals, behind brilliant passing by Jim Hart, cut a 22-7 halftime deficit to 22-21 with 8:47 left. The Packers responded with a time-consuming, 64-yard, 11-play drive, culminating in Mar-col's nine-yard field goal with 1:42 remaining. The Cardinals had one more chance, but lost the bail on downs at their 45-yard line when Terry Metcalf was stopped for no gain by linebackers Tom MacLeod and Fred Carr after taking a short pass from Hart.

Tagge then ran out the clock and had a victory to show for his first NFL start. He had been summoned from the taxi squad with regular Scott Hunter performing inconsistently and Jim Del Gaizo on the inactive list with injury. Asked if Tagge has won a regular job, Coach Dan Devine replied: "He has earned it. Our whole club had a great effort today.

"It was a lot of fun today, but anybody could have been in there today and our game plan would have worked," Tagge said.

Tagge, who sold popcorn at Lambeau Field as a schoolboy, said: "Our offensive line came out smoking. They were bound and determined to blow them out, and they did." He said Deviine told him only hours before the game he would start, but added he was not surprised. "I anticipated I would play at least some because I had practiced with the first team during the week," he said. "I never doubted my career," said Tagge, a second-year man who played briefly in only one previous game this season. "I knew I would play eventually.

I know I will be around a long time. It was getting discouraging, but you just have to hang in there," he said. Tagge estimated he called 85 per cent of the plays, saying two of the most important resulted in gains of 14 and 19 the others grabbed me by the hands and told me it was just like practice. The line did a great job opening holes, which restored my confidence real quick." Brockington scored from a yard out to cap a 74-yard march on the Packers' first series. They made it 10-0 moments later on a 12-yard field goal by Marcol, set up when Dave Pureifory blocked a Cardinal punt and linebacker Larry Hefner returned the loose ball 11 yards to the Cardinal three.

St. Louis closed to within 10-7 on a 30-yard scoring pass from Hart to ex-Packer Donny Anderson. However, Green Bay struck back in the second period on a one-yard scoring run by Tagge and two Marcol field goals, one following a fumble recovery by MacLeod. Hart completed 19 of 30 passes for 198 yards. He hit Ahmad Rashad on a 23-yard scoring strike to cap a 91-yard march in the fourth.

(AP) -Jersey No. 15, worn by Bart Starr in 16 years of quarter-backing for the Green Bay Packers, was officially retired Sunday at halftime of the Pack-ers-St. Louis Cardinals game.

"Our primary concern now has to be the failure of the Consumer Product Safety Commission to protect young athletes from the unreasonable hazard of artificial turf. "The NFL players can protect themselves through bargaining but who will now protect the high school and college athlete?" he asked.

The NFL Players Association has attempted for the past two years to bring about a moratorium on the material's installation until a study can be completed on it. To the union's dismay, the' NFL Management Council announced Sept. 17 that it had independently appointed a committee to study the effects of artificial turf on injuries in the NFL. The players' association wanted to have a joint study. The Consumer Product Safety Commission last month rejected the players' association's contention that artificial turf causes more serious injuries than natural grass.

Artificial turf is in use on about 150 high school, college and pro football fields, in. eluding 13 of the 26 NFL stadium playing areas. 12th straight win for Bucks WASHINGTON (AP) Bill Curry of the Houston Oilers said today that artificial turf causes such tremendous heat, burns, infection and increased injuries and maintenance costs "that I cannot understand why anyone would buy it." Curry, president of the National Football League's Players Association, said the players' union was to hold a conference today on synthetic grass "to alert the public to the dangers of artificial turf, but also to examine natural surface multi-purpose fields which have been developed. "These natural fields are essentially weather-proof and provide a viable alternative," he said.
