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.”

st the Pittsburgh Steelers on a
al onsides kick was correct or

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.
