The field goal was ' and it left a bad taste in the iths of the Cowboys players, e coach of the Redskins said Tuesday he was only trying to help his team’s cause should points become the determining factor in deciding a playoff berth. “I think it’s been proven every week since then,” said Washington coach Jack Pardee. “We still don’t have a playoff spot wrapped up. It could easily come down to the point differential. “We certainly don’t have any big cushion in any category. I don’t con sider winning a ball game by 14 points to be any big deal. I don’t think we were running up the score. “We’ve been in a position the last two weeks to run up the score (against Green Bay and Cincinnati) and we haven’t (although points scored against either team would have benefited Washington just as much as those scored against Dal las). I don’t consider a win by 14 points to be running it up. “Actually I’m critical of the tieb reaker procedure that involves points and running up the score. I think when we played Green Bay we were playing a demoralized team. We probably could have scored on them again. But anything that involves running up a score on someone that is demoralized late in the game, well, I don’t like it.” Dallas coach Tom Landry said that although his team has played ~)um keeps mum on call ’lioto by EdCi I United Press International ,. JoUSTON — Houston Oilers ms m Jt »cli Bum Phillips would not say uesday whether an official’s ruling st the Pittsburgh Steelers on a al onsides kick was correct or !Ct. g sarcasm to answer repor- ears beat cMurry ters’ questions, Phillips said, “Those are the same officials who decided it wasn’t pass interference against Pittsburgh on two plays or that they (Pittsburgh’s defenders) didn’t hit Earl (Campbell) when he was out of bounds on three occasions. "Hell, if they were right all those times, they’ve got to be right on the onsides kick.” Houston beat the Steelers 20-17 but Pittsburgh appeared to regain possession of the ball at midfield with a minute to play Monday when the Steelers Larry Anderson caught a bouncing onsides kick. Side judge Willie Spencer made the Steelers kick again, however, when he ruled the ball was touched by Anderson before it had gone the required 10 yards. Phillips said films showed Ander son was straddling the 50-yard line when he caught the ball. “Where your back foot is when you touch the ball is where the ball is,” he said. Houston recovered the rekick and Pittsburgh never threatened to score again. much better since its loss to Washington, he didn’t think the field goal had so much to do with it as the fact the Cowboys were thoroughly beaten in the game. “When you are a team returning from the Super Bowl as we were and everybody expects you to do so well and then you start to skid, you have to reach a certain low level before you tend to turn it around. “I think we reached that level after we lost games to Philadelphia and Washington. If we were going to do anything this year we had to turn it around. “I don’t think that (field goal) had a big effect on us any more than the defeat itself. The field goal might have added more to it in the eyes of some of the players, but I think it was just the way we lost. “Sometimes you have to have that kind of defeat to make you realize you are not playing quite as well as you thought you were and that things might not work out quite as well as you thought they would in the end. When you come to that realization, then you got one of two choices. You either quit or you start playing. ” Rushing title to be decided on Sunday United Press International ST. LOUIS — Ottis Ander son, the St. Louis Cardinals prize rookie, has a three-yard lead over Houston’s Earl Campbell in the race for the NFL rushing crown. Campbell needed 112 yards in Monday’s night win over Pittsburgh to tie Anderson’s total but finished with 109 yards in 33 carries. Anderson’s 140-yard perfor mance in Sunday’s victory over the New York Giants pushed his season total to 1,566 yards. Anderson has said the Cardi nals’ season finale in Chicago next Sunday will be “Showdown City” with the Bears’ Walter Payton, who is third among rush ing leaders with 1,453 yards. There will be a similar show down in Houston when Campbell, the defending league rushing champion, tries to regain his crown against the Philadel phia Eagles. The Eagles’ Wilbert Montgomery, fourth in rushing statistics with 1,452 yards, also has a shot at the title. Anderson leads the top four rushers in average gain per carry with 4.9 yards. Campbell and Montgomery are averaging 4.4 yards per carry, and Payton is at 4.3 yards. npagne inti One ofouril oked tuikeyi nr secret!
