Walsh had played for Johnson at the University of Miami. Fla.

"Fans can express themselves without dis turbing anyone," said Dave McNanara, pro gram director at WWL Note: Meanwhile, in Seattle, Seahavks fans were penalized three times Friday night for making too much noise, costing their team all three of its second-half timeouts. It's nearly a (deleted record 1 Rams: Lions' Peete injured as L.A. wins 24-14 Tommy Lasorda made history with his infamously profane "Kingman's performance" monologue a decade ago, but Seattle Manners manager Jim Lefebvre show ed be has the capac ity to rival it some day. 1 1 After the Manners lost a club-record 12th consecutive game last week, Lefebvre blew his downs. But when the Lions cooled off, the Rams kept going, rolling out 284 total yards in the first half 199 ith the passing game.

Gaston Green and Greg Bell split time at tailback. Green picked up 35 yards on 11 carries and Bell looking good in his first game since agreeing to terms rushed for 32 yards on eight carries. The Rams opened the scoring by driving 72 yards on nine plays. Everett passed 38 yards to Henry Ellard for the key gainer before hitting fullback Buford McGee from 3 yards out for the game's first score. Detroit came back immediately to tie it on hat could safely be termed a unique drive.

Peete, making his first local pro start, dumped consecutive passes to running back Tony Paige. The first went to the right side for 17 yards and the second to the left for 15 more. The Lions scored hen Peete passed 13 yards to Richard Johnson, who fumbled when hit by V'ince Newsome. The ball popped into the air and traveled 11 yards and right into the hands of another of Detroit's four receivers, Troy Johnson, who caught it on the run and took it the final 10 yards for the D. The Rams got the touchdown back quickly hen Everett found Willie Anderson down the left side for a 61-yard touchdown pass.

For Anderson, who may have beaten out Aaron Cox for one of the starting wide receiver spots, it was his second TD bomb of the preseason. The Rams scored again just before the close of the half after safety Michael Stewart intercepted a Peete floater at the Los Angeles 9-yard line. Again mixing the running and passing game well, the Rams went 91 yards in 15 plays. Bell cut back up the left side from 3 yards out for the score.

Continued fromCI year. Then there is Detroit's Silver Stretch offense, the run-and-shoot system that operates without a tight end or fullback. Peete operated it efficiently in the first half until throwing an interception late in the second quarter. It was the only interception of Peete, but the first of five picks for the Rams. It was on that play that Peete was hurt.

Hit at the knee as be threw, Peete suffered a strained left knee, left the stadium on crutches and might be out for four weeks. Detroit first-year coach Wayne Fontes said Peete would start the Lions' season opener if he's healthy. "As I released, I got hit by a helmet on the knee and I collapsed on the knee," Peete said. "I don't know how serious it is. "Things like this, you have to bounce back from.

I thought it went good until the interception." Peete was 8-for-14 for 113 yards, with one bizarre touchdown pass. He also scrambled twice for 12 yards. That was hardly a match for Rams quarterback Jim Everett, however. Everett went 15-for-22 in the first half, passing for 199 yards and two touchdow ns. He played so weJJL the Rams decided to call it a night for him at the half If Robinson and most observers aren't sure what the Rams have wrought, Everett is excited.

"I Lke this team a lot," Everett said. "The key part is for us to continue to improve. But I sure like atching our defense play." The game started like it would be a night of offensive fireworks before the Rams took a 21-7 lead in at the half. The first three posssessions all ended in touch top (and his PG rating). "We're playing bleeping scared.

I don't care if we don't win another bleeping game the rest of the bleeping season. We're not gonna in the bleeping pennant this year, and you can write that. But I'm gonna find some bleeping guys that will help me win it in one or two years. You bleeping produce in this game and they pay you big money. You don't they fire the bleeping manager." So he likes the change?

"Offensively, I thought we made some strides today," said Shanahan. "We looked better as an offensive unit, and we played with a lot more confidence. But when we needed to put the ball in the end zone late in the game, we fell short." The significance of the loss, however, as not lost on the team. "It's not really that big of a deal; it's only the preseason, but you still think about it," said Golic. "I know it's been said a lot, but we did win the Super Bowl in 1983 after going 1-3 in preseason "No one remembers the preseason But if we don't do well this year, everyone will look back and say that this was the start of something bad." The game started out badly for the Raiders as failed to include comment from Rozier's three-year roommate, Nate Mason.

Tomczak looked to be at the height of his form as he hit 13-of-18 passes for 164 yards in two quarters of work. During one stretch in the first half the Chicago starter connected on 1 1 consecutiv passes. After L.A bungled its first possession (Schroed er threw the ball into the waiting arms of Bears saftey Shaun Gayle on the 6), Chicago tromped down the field and scored again, this time on a 1-yard leap by tailback Neal Anderson.

Anderson was the Bears' leading carrier, hand ling the ball 10 times for 64 yards and a pair of touchdowns. (Former Riverside Poly High School star Mark Green carried three times for 11 yards and caught one pass for 6 yards.) Conversely, the Raiders' leading rusher was Derrick Gainer, who had 23 yards on eight carries. Chicago made good on its third possession as well and took a 20-0 lead before Los Angeles finally view about Rozier. The book reached some Omaha stores Thursday.

"I think everyone got a lift from it," said Schroeder of the TD.

"It gave everybody a new enthusiasm." While the Bears dominated the first half Chicago held the ball for 23:13 of the first 30 minutes the Raiders found their stride in the third quarter. After closing the score to 20-14 at the half, L.A. scored twice in the third, both times on runs by running back Kerry Porter. The Raiders took their 38-34 lead in the fourth quarter when Schroeder's replacement, Beuerlein, nailed wide receiver Mervyn Fernandez on a pattern across the middle that turned in to a 57-yard touchdown play to put L.A. ahead, 38-34.

The Raiders defense, however, failed to check the Chicago second string as Harbaugh hit Davis down the sideline with less than two minutes remaining to dash L.A.'s hopes. It was a hard loss to take in any light, but Schroeder put it into perspective. "Next week's for real," said the Raider think we're ready. I don't think we're where we want to be, but hopefully by next wek we will be." Monny suppues!
