Page 12/The Battalion/Tuesday, November 15,1983 Dickerson gains 146 yards TANK M C NAMAHA Rams defeat Falcons United Press International ATLANTA — Rookie Eric Dickerson padded his NFL rushing lead Monday night with 146 yards and two touchdowns in pacing Los Angeles to a 36-13 romp over the Atlanta Falcons that lifted the Rams back into a tie with San Francisco atop the NFC West. Dickerson, the second player selected in the draft following a record-breaking career at SMU, set two Rams’ single-season re cords as he raised his rushing total to 1,359 yards and his touchdown total to 19 with five games remaining in his first pro season. The Rams, raising their record to 7-4 to match the 49ers, dropped the Falcons to 4-7. The Rams got their first touchdown with 3:28 left in the first quarter on a 61-yard pass from Vince Ferragamo to Pre ston Dennard, who was wide open behind the Falcons’ secon dary. Dickerson, who carried 21 times, scored from a yard out at i 4:35 of the second quarter and he added a 7-yard TD run with 9:23 left in the third quarter. Less than four minutes later, Ferragamo flipped a 9-yard scoring pass to George Farmer. The Rams got their final touchdown with 1:52 left when Barry Redden, filling in for Dickerson — who did not play in the final quarter — broke off on _ the left side and scampered 40 yards. The Rams missed the conver sion try after their third touch down because of a bad snap, but Chuck Nelson clicked on a 27- yard field goal on the second play of the fourth quarter. Nel son was also wide on his extra point attempt after Redden’s TD. The Falcons scored first in the rain-plagued game on a 31-yard field goal by Mick Luckhurst with 5:34 left in the first quarter. The Falcons, on their first pos session, had driven from their own 29 to a first down at the Rams’ 4-yard line, but were then pushed back to the 14 and had to settle for three points. En route to their second straight lopsided loss, the Fal cons were behind 14-3 before driving from their own 11 to the Rams’ 6-yard line. The Los Angeles defense held there and Luckhurst came on for a 23- yard field goal with 2:48 left in the period to leave the Falcons trailing 14-6 at the half. The first time the Rams got the ball in the second half, they marched 72 yards, mainly on the running of Dickerson, who had a 37-yard burst up the middle and another 10-yard run prior to his TD scamper. Cowboys’ sale would) not change a thing United Press International DALLAS — Even though the :iall TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY SUMNER STUDY ITALY-84 MAY 14 TO JUIY 2,1984 Dallas Cowboys are officially for sale, club officials insist there , will be no alteration in the struc- j ture that has made the franchise i one of the most successful in professional sports. The long-rumored possibility that the Cowboys might be on the block was confirmed by club president and general manager Tex Schramm during the weekend, but Schramm said there was no guarantee the club would change hands any time soon. A sale is being considered be cause of the failing health of club owner Clint Murchison. “Nothing is imminent,” said Schramm. “It’s just in the very, very early stage. Selling the team is just one of the options being considered.” Murchison, 58, is reportedly suffering from a disease that has limited the blood supply to the brain, thus affecting his speech and mobility. The sale is appa rently being considered chiefly to avoid estate tax problems and a potential fight for the team among his heirs. There were reports last sum mer that both the Cowboys and Texas Stadium in suburban Irving were for sale, but they were discounted because Mur chison does not own the sta dium. Schramm’s comments were the first public confirmation that a sale was being considered. But Schramm emphasized that if the Cowboys were sold, Md the same philosophy of m ment would continue, son has never interfered the running of the organi leaving the front officedi to Schramm and the sions to coach Tom Club officials have ini in the past that Murchisot] never pocketed any of the fits from the Cowboys, that money back intotheoi zation.
