San Diego County Monday, October 22, 1984 CCtPart III Chargers Lend a Hand or Two in 44-37 Raider Win Winslow Is Lost for Rest of Season With Knee Injury By ALAN GREENBERG, Times Staf Writer SAN DIEGO It was an average football game, sort of the way Taylor and Burton were an average couple. Twice a year, the schedule-maker marries the Raiders and Chargers, and twice a year, teams that spin through the rest of their National Football League season at 33 suddenly begin flailing away at78r.p.m. For athletes, who live by deeds rather than words, that is the ultimate term of endearment. Each is the match that lights the other's fire, and the heat from such blazes tends to leave members of both sides spent, but still glowing, like so many dying embers. "Any time we play these guys," Raider quarterback Marc Wilson said, "the games turn out crazy." Sunday at Jack Murphy Stadiumbefore 57,442, the largest home crowd in Charger history-was no different.

At the bitter end, it took two consecutive Charger Please see RAIDERS, Page 18 Abu jfO SL VINCE COMPAGNONE Los Angeles Times San Diego's Wes Chandler catches a touchdown pass between Ted Watts (20) and Mike Davis, but goes out with a knee injury. Chargers' Sievers: It Was a Bad Call By DAVE DISTEL, Times Staff Writer I 1 I SAN DIEGO-If Jesse Bendross felt like crawling into a hole, he might have had trouble finding a place to sit. A number of his San Diego Charger teammates would have been right there with him Sunday. The Raiders were 44-37 winners because of one dropped football and one held linebacker in the game's final 90 seconds. And those were only the most noticeable of the Chargers' mistakes, mainly because they came at the end of a last-gasp drive that did but didn't tie the game.

Bendross was the fellow with football in hand and goal line in sight as he raced toward the right corner of the end zone and who dropped the ball without being hit. When Bendross dropped the ball, it trickled out of bounds at the Raider three and set the stage for The Held Linebacker. Earnest Jackson burst into the end zone from the three, but the Chargers were called for holding Rod Martin. The officials said Eric Sievers was the culprit, and Martin said Drew Gissinger was the culprit, and both Sievers and Gissinger pleaded innocent. When Ted Watts intercepted a Dan Fouts pass on the next play, the Chargers' comeback was ended.

It was remarkable that the Chargers were even in position to get close to an overtime period. After all. The Raiders had scored 24 points after Charger turnovers had positioned them at the Charger 20, or closer. Fouts had been harried and hurried by Raider defenders all day, throwing three interceptions, fumbling and suffering four sacks. One of those sacks looked very much like a safety, but it was not called.

A World Record in the Marathon Steve Jones of Wales Wins Chicago Race in 2:08:05 Is it any wonder that Chris Evert Lloyd, somewhere near the twilight of her career, finds herself cast in the role of the world's perfect sports idol? How could she miss? The rest of athletics is sinking quickly to the level of professional wrestling.

The Raiders rule football with their Three P's (Pointin', Pushin', Penalties), and the sport's highest-paid lineman is an egotistical lout who dances on the heads of fallen quarterbacks. In baseball, beanballs, fights and rowdy fans are back in style. In basketball, the elbow-throwing, low-bridging, trash-talking Celtics are kings. Tennis? The pro tour tends to present itself as a globetrotting carload of crybabies, tankers, pouters and preeners. Then there's Chris.

Below her on the ladder are about a half-dozen young ladies who tend to divide their time between two activities: kissing off Chris as a great player, and losing to her. Above Lloyd, above everyone, is Martina Navratilova, who is too good for her own good. The ultimate overdog. So big and strong and well-conditioned, such a fine player, that she makes it look too easy. So the world roots for Chris.

At the U.S. Open, it rooted so hard for her and against Navratilova that Martina broke down and sobbed after she won. "I know Martina gets annoyed," Lloyd said. "She doesn't understand why (they root against her). I tell her I've been in the public eye since I was 16.

They've seen my ups and downs, winning and losing, and maybe they appreciate me now. "I've been at the other end. I've had years when I've been in tears. I tell her one day she will be in my position." Not true. Martina will never achieve Chris' popularity.

But wasn't it nice of Chris to say that to Martina? That's the way Lloyd comes across, on the court and off. Call it class. Dignity. Cool. Combine it with her tennis ability, stack it up against the boorish-ness that is taking over sports, and you have the perfect heroine.

And the perfect situation. At the age of 29 (she'll be 30 in December), with the world in her corner, Chris Evert Lloyd has dedicated herself to going out in style, rather Please see OSTLER, Page 16 By CHRIS BAKER, Times Staff Writer CHICAGO-Center Bill Gardner scored two goals to lead the Chicago Black Hawks to an easy 5-2 victory over the winless Kings Sunday night before a crowd of 17,225 fans at Chicago Stadium. The Kings (0-5-2) are the only team in the National Hockey League without a victory this season. First-year Kings Coach Pat Quinn lashed out at his players after the game for not putting out. "I wouldn't even call that a good effort by about seven of our people," Quinn said.

"We had some guys free-loading tonight." Asked who the players were, Quinn said: "It's not my style to publicly expose any names. They beat us to the puck all night long. One team wanted to win, and the other team looked like it didn't want to win. I feel more angry than I have been. "This was the one night I can't blame it on my new system.

Tonight, we were out-gritted. It's not even disappointing. I must admit that it (bleeped) me off." Said Kings defenseman Mark Hardy: "I can't say the guys weren't giving their best out there, it's up to the coach to say that. Please see KINGS, Page 10 By ARLENE CIMONS, Times Staff Writer CHICAGO Steve Jones had no idea how swiftly he was running the America's Marathon Sunday until the final mile of the 26.2-mile footrace. He only knew that he was leading and that he had left behind him Olympic marathon gold medalist Carlos Lopes and World Champion Rob de Castella.

Understandably, he felt a little vulnerable. So, from the moment he left the pack, he began to push the pace and push it hard. He never let up. He wasn't thinking about a world record. "I just didn't want them to catch me," he said.

But suddenly, during that last mile, the crowd began to shout. And he began to listen. He heard the words. "World record! World record!" He looked up and saw the clock. It seemed very far away.

Nevertheless, he began to grit his teeth and pump his arms.
