'Pack loses Dickey in 24-6 loss to Rams MILWAUKEE (AP) Lynn Dickey started hearing the boos early Sunday afternoon, and their decibel level peaked when he trotted onto the field with the rest of the Green Bay Packer offensive unit with 7:17 left in the third quarter. Three incomplete passes later, Dickey trudged back to the sideline, disgustedly snapping his helmet strap. Now the boos were mixed with a chant. want Whitehurst! We want many yelled They meant David Whitehurst, the eighth round draft choice from Furman and only other quarterback on their roster. get him next week.

Dickey was hit as he threw his 36th pass on the final play in the Packers' 24-6 defeat by the Los Angeles Rams. In all likelihood, it also was his final play of the National Football League season, as he tumbled to the turf with a broken lower left leg Dickey, prone for several minutes while team doctors and trainers tended to him, finally was carried by stretcher to an ambulance and taken to a hospital. His injury took considerable edge off the levity in the locker room after perhaps their finest game of the season. Now 6-3 with victories in four of their last five games, they kept a one game lead over Atlanta in the National Conference West, while Green Bay slipped to 2-7 quarterback Pat Haden completed 10 of 17 passes for 146 yards, while John Cappelletti led a ball control ground game with 74 yards in 20 carries. Haden led a 96-yard march on the second series.

He passed to Harold Jackson for nine yards and to Lawrence McCutcheon for 27. Terry Nelson gained 18 yards on a tight end reverse to the Packer 2yard line, and McC7tcheon scored on the first play of the second quarter. Moments later, safety Elmendorf caught a fumble by Packer rookie Terdell Middleton in the air and raced 47 yards to the Green Bay 32. Haden passed to McCutcheon for 27. then tossed a 6-yard scoring pass to Nelson, who beat linebacker Tom Toner over the middle.

Cornerback Pat Thomas intercepted a Dickey pass on the next series and returned 29 yards to set up Rafael Septian 32- yard field goal as the Rams led 17-0 four minutei before halftime. Dickey connected with Steve Odom on a 65-yard scoring bomb late in the third quarter, but that merely interrupted the booing. Haden retaliated by leading a 65-yard march capped by Wendell Tyler's 1- yard touchdown plunge with 12:55 to play. think we played excellent football, but I just hated to see Dickey get hurt like that on the last Coach Chuck Knox said. not sure who hit him.

Several of us.were trying to get to him, defensive end Jack Youngblood said. it had to be a clean added Youngblood. (Dickey) was throwing on top and had his foot planted. He was in his throwing motion, or else his foot just would have slipped in the loose dirt out there. The leg have broken.

a Green Bay Coach Bart Starr certainly thought it was a shame. He also thought the booing of Dickey had been even more shameful. think one of the ironies of our game is to get booed out of the park by people who understand the Bulletin Pomona, California Monday, November 14, 1977 Ex-Ram quarterbacks hurt in Charger loss to Denver By DON BRADLEY PB Staff Writer SAN DIEGO Sunday was a bad day for former Rams in San Diego. tommy Prothro, former Rams and UCLA coach, saw his San Diego Chargers absorb a frustrating eome- from-in-front defeat, 17-14, at the hands of the visiting Denver Broncos. Prothro also saw both his experienced quarterbacks, also former Rams, injured.

James Harris suffered a sprained left foot and will be on crutches a few days. Four minutes later Bill Munson went down with a broken fibula (long outer bone) in his left leg. Munson is probably out the rest of the season It is not known when Harris can return The Chargers have rookie signal caller Cliff Olander, drafted as a punter, from New Mexico State. Running back Don Woods was a quarterback in college at the University of New Mexico. However, Prothro said he would not have used Woods in the game because he know the receivers' patterns.

The Chargers also hold the rights to Dan Fouts who quit the team when it obtained Harris from the Rams just before training camp opened. know what do now (about qua rterbacki ng), Proth ro told the media right after the game.

Harris then hobbled back on the field and, barely able to move, threw nine straight passes from the formation completing two for 37 yards before the drive stalled on the Denver 45 with 12 seconds left in the game. The only former Ram having a good day was defensive end Leroy Jones.

But we didn get The Chargers slipped to a 4-5 record. Owner Gen Klein is already on record as saying he expects a winning season.

The Chargers still must play the Oakland Raiders. Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers at home and Seattle and Denver on the road. Denver now is 8-1, but the schedule is not easy either. There are three road games. Kansas City, Houston and Dallas, and two home games with Baltimore and the Chargers.

But coach Red Miller is not worrying "We always try to find a way to win, one way or the he grinned one (against the Chargers) was the frustrations, the tension, the anxieties, the nature of the position he said. kind of a shame. is far too much acclaim and far too much blame attached to that position, but that is the nature of the said Starr, who quarterbacked the Packers to five NFL titles in the 1960s. were numerous passes that could have been he said. saw all the drops, the other miscues.

Starr said the Packers will sign a quarterback this week, but that in any case Whitehurst will start at Washington next Monday night. Starr had little else to say. A reporter asked if he cared to comment on the defense.

I he tersely replied.

By The Associated Press The only thing certain about the Pacific-8 Conference race for the Rose Bowl is Southern California won't be making its fifth Pasadena appearance in the last six years. The Trojans were eliminated Saturday with a 28-10 loss to Washington, which remains alive in the Rose Bowl chase with UCLA and Stanford Of the three, only UCLA can take matters into its own hands If UCLA beats USC on Nov. 25 it wins the Rose Bowl spot. If UCLA loses and Washington beats Washington State next Saturday, the Huskies go to the Rose Bowl. But if UCLA and Washington both lose, Stanford could earn the bowl berth with a victory over California.

Washington boosted its Pac-8 mark to 5-1 with the victory over USC in blustery Seattle, with quarterback Warren Moon scoring on runs of two and 71 yards and passing for another touchdown. only explanation is that the Huskies outplayed said USC Coach John Robinson. Huskies deserved to win. This was our last chance. over for now as far as the Rose UCLA had little trouble disposing of Oregon State 48-18.

Quarterback Steve Bukich, starting in place of injured Rick Bashore, ran for one touchdown and passed for another. it all boils down to is that we still have to beat SC and that will be very said Bruin Coach Terry Donahue.

The Lakers rallied late in the game with Don 20-foot jump shot putting A. ahead. 95-90, with 56 seconds left to play.

Golden State stayed in there arid had a chance to tie the score at the end but Rick 25-foot attempt with 12 seconds left fell short with the Warriors trailing by two, 95-93. Jamaal Wilkes grabbed the rebound and threw to Lou Hudson, who scored to give the Lakers a four- point cushion making an uncontested shot by Sonny Parker at the buzzer meaningless.
