8 Pirt IN-mm, Oct 2. 1978 Cos Angeles Stmes I Rams Offense Turns to Gumbo but They Win last offensive play. Before that. New (Means' noisy fans were jazzed up when the Saints started at their 43-yard line after Corral flubbed a kickoff. The Saints were just 57 yards and an extra point from repeating history; they beat L.A.

here last year, 27-26. But a 10-yard penalty for offensive interference on their first play and Larry Brooks' sack of Manning on the next one put the Saints in a hole, and Archie couldn't quite dig them out He came close with a 20-yard pass to Childs on the play preceding Youngblood's bulldog-'em-down type sack. "That was like take two and hit to right," Youngblood said. "That (sack) was a must" Then he said: Til tell you what If Archie had a real good offensive line, say, one like ours, and maybe one great receiver, I would not want to come down here at all Man, this animal is tired." Rams coach Ray Malavasi, now 7-0 since succeeding George Allen, may have been tired, too. Tired of watching his team again pile up yards between the 20-yard lines, only to be turned away, frustratingly, by penalties, missed blocks and plain lousy execution in scoring territory.

Except for the 27-14 win over Dallas, this has been the story of offense, which has only six touchdowns in five games. Some for instances: Late in the second quarter, with L.A. marching toward a potential touchdown that might have discouraged the Saints (who already trailed, 20-7), Rams tackle John Williams was penalized for holding and then for unnecessary roughness. This moved the ball 25 yards backward, from the Saints' 13 to the 38, and Corral subsequently missed a field-goal try from 49 yards. Early in the fourth quarter, with the Rams at the New well) and deflected a pass Manning aimed at Harris.

Perry picked it off and had clear sailing down the sideline. It was one of Manning's few mistakes. In retrospect it was criti-caL Another quiet contribution by outside linebacker Jim Youngblood, the Rams' leading defender statistically for the third time with seven tackles and two assists. This Youngblood doesn't get much publicity certainly nowhere near as much as the other Youngblood, Brooks, Dryer and linebackers Robertson and Jack Reynolds but his coaches appreciate him. He has 25 tackles this season.

The hard running of halfback (Men Bryant the game's leading rusher with 79 yards on 19 carries. Bryant a starter since Lawrence McCutcheon tore a thigh muscle six weeks ago, played the entire game after Malavasi decided at the last minute to rest McCutcheon one more week: The thinking was that the hard artificial playing surface here would not be as conducive to McCutcheon's reacclimation as grass. The Rams face the 49ers on Coliseum grass next Sunday. The play of Haden. Though upstaged by Manning, he called another smart game and threw well enough to complete 10 of 21 for 167 yards.

The pass-catching of Miller, who caught four more to run his total to 21. This Vietnam veteran whose NFL life is beginning at 31 has made most everyone forget about the loss of both Harold Jackson (traded to New England) and Billy Waddy, who missed another game with a fractured rib. "A big difference between this and other Ram teams is that we're not the kind of club to say, 'We didn't need to win this safety Dave Elmendorf said. "This one goes in the 'w' (win) column," safety Bill Simpson said. For the Rams, the was the bottom line Sunday.

Continued from First Page more relieved than anything else. Manning Co. had run up some impressive numbers against the league's No. 1 defense. They had more first downs than LA.

(19 to 15), more rushing yards (143 to 124), more passing yards (172 to 157), more total yards (315 to 281), better third-down efficiency (40 to 25), a better punting average (40.2 yards to 26.7), three fewer penalties and ball control (34:11 to 25:49) to boot Til tell you why the Saints play their best football against us right here," Rams defensive end Fred Dryer sail "Because we're the bullies, we're the ones who've won this division 55 years in a row. So they want to beat us up." Haden had another explanation. "Too many oysters," he said. "Plus the barbecued shrimp last night got me, too." That was just a little fish story. The chief reason Sunday, fcnyway was Manning.

The onetime wonder boy from Ole Miss completed 17 of 27 passes for 208 yards and three touchdowns. At one point he completed 12 in a row. Still spry at 29, Manning ran another 48 yards on just five carries on both scrambles and designed plays. Manning's passes to tight end Henry Childs (four for 67 yards), wide receiver Ike Harris (four for 51 and two touchdowns measuring 6 and 8 yards) and to fullback Tony Galbreath (six for 61, including a 33-yard touchdown) riddled the Rams' usually airtight secondary. All in all, this performance showcased Manning as a more mature, poised, polished quarterback than the one who spent the better part of eight years here running for his life and then covering his ears from the boos.

"Archie played himself a great damn game. He was fantastic," Dryer said. Manning won more rave reviews from the Rams. "He did everything in his power to beat us," said defensive end Jack Youngblood, who beat rookie tackle J.T. Taylor and sacked Manning for a 9-yard loss on the Saints' -j1 BEST LEASE AKYWHERE 32015301 1 CHECK OUR RATES Tom Rai 1 1 II NOW LOWER akllM COST LEASING! 71 TOYOTO Pitt UPS lhh rnei rscnri mbr 12 to 36 Month Open or Closed End NORWALK TOYOTA LEASING (211) M-003S (714) K6-7MO ImmtdiMto DaaVwy, OJLC.

AP Wirephoto Late TD by Grogan Spoils Coryell Debut F0XB0R0, Mass. t-New England quarterback Steve Grogan scored on a four-yard run with 31 seconds left as the Patriots came from behind twice in the fourth quarter to beat San Diego, 28-23, Sunday, spoiling coach Don Coryell's debut with the Chargers. The Patriots (3-2) marched for the winning score in the last minute after San Diego had taken a 23-21 lead with two minutes left on Rolf Bernischke's 41 -yard field goal. Grogan had passed 6 yards to tight end Russ Francis with 4:19 left in the game, giving New England a temporary 21-20 lead trailing earlier, 20-7.

Grogan and San Diego quarterback Dan Fouts both threw three touchdown passes, as the New England quarterback connected twice with wide receiver Harold Jackson and the Charger signal caller struck twice to rookie John Jefferson. San Diego (1-4) lost its fourth consecutive NFL game, six days after Coryell replaced Chargers Coach Tommy Prothro, who quit on Monday. "I was pretty much a spectator," said Don Coryell, the former St. Louis Cardinals coach who took over the Chargers on Monday. "We played a good game against a team that made one more big play than we did."

Lease 1 or a fleet. MVMfTUEOK NOV: CKmFORK LYNCH Orleans 6 after a 50-yard pass play (Haden to tight end Terry Nelson), guard Dennis Harrah was penalized for holding on third down. And the Rams settled for a 33-yard field goal from Corral. Haden and Nelson hooked up on a 33-yard pass play in the third quarter which was called back because of another holding penalty on Williams. Instead of advancing to the Saints' 33, the Rams were at their own 24, and Haden was intercepted a down later on a long pass that served, in effect, as a punt.

So on those three promising series the Rams netted three points. "I take some responsibility for not getting the ball into the end zone," Haden said. Reminded that he has never been penalized for holding, Haden said: "I'm still upset with myself because I'm supposed to be the big-play guy and we haven't busted a game wide open yet. We're gonna have to do it." Yet except for that lack of scoring punch, a special-team breakdown when reserve fullback Kim Jones blocked a Glen Walker punt as the Saints' lone rusher, and the fact that Rams tackle Williams, D.D.S., will knash his teeth when he watches Elois Grooms manhandle him on film, the Rams had some things to be pleased about Such as: The simple fact they won, despite everything, at New Orleans' answer to Minnesota's House of Ram Horrors. The play of assistant coach Paul Lanham's special teams.

Besides Cromwell's left-handed block of the punt that put Scales in the end zone, Jackie Wallace blocked an extra-point try by John Leypoldt. And a fully extended dive by Pat Thomas seemed to distract Leypoldt when he shanked a 26-yard field-goal attempt on the first play of the final quarter. From the TV booth, where he was commentating for CBS, Allen might have allowed himself a smile. He brought Lanham with him from Washington and stressed the importance of special teams during training camp. This was L.A.'s second blocked punt-touchdown this season.

Thomas blocked one that Cromwell recovered in Philadelphia, where the Rams needed it to win their opener, 16-14. The interception return by Perry, who scored his second touchdown of the year. He ran one back 42 yards in the Dallas game.
