Now the league is more united and stronger than ever." Trump pointed to the meetings ending a day early as evidence ol their smooth going. The league owners discussed folding and con solidating franchises although most of the decisions reached won’t be an nounced until November. “The most important thing is that these people (owners) are going to be here for years to come,” Trump said. The USFL will play one more spring season before shifting to a fall season in 1986. Trump said he is optimistic the USFL will win its antitrust suit filed last week against the NFL. Tthe fledgling league will agree on a network television contract be fore its 1986 season.

Browns axe Sam Rutigliano 845-2611 United Press International GLFVELAND — The Cleveland Browns, who began the season with hopes of a division title but lost seven of their first eight games, Monday fired Coach Sam Rutigliano and re placed him with Assistant Coach Marty Schottenheimer. Rutigliano, UPI’s Coach of the Year in 1979 and 1980, promised to win the AFC Central crown. But a 12-9 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday left the Browns with a 1-7 record midway through the season. “Our personnel deserve a better record,” Browns owner Art Modell said. Schottenheimer, the team’s de fensive coordinator, was given a con tract through the 1986 season and said he would make few immediate changes. Modell said he would honor the 4 V2 years remaining on Rutigliano’s contract and hopes Rutigliano would remain with the Browns in some ca pacity. His record was 47-50 over 6 Vi seasons. The usually jocular Rutigliano was subdued during the news con ference but gracious. “Let’s look at it as a fresh start,” Rutiligiano said. “Today I’ve become the No. 1 fan of the Cleveland Browns. I think I was treated fairly.” He said he planned to use the next three months to reflect on his career but indicated he wanted to coach again. Schottenheimer, a former line backer for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Buffalo Bills and Boston Patriots, was an assistant coach with the Port land Storm of the World Football League, the New York Giants and the Detroit Lions. He came to the Browns in 1980. Modell said he reached his deci sion on the coaching change late Sunday. He said Schottenheimer was the sole candidate for the job and his appointment was the start of a “new era.” “It is a bittersweet moment but Tm excited about the opportunity,” Schottenheimer said. ‘Tm positive that I’ll be good at what I'll do. We are looking to start a streak ... we want to win one in a row.” “I don’t see any major changes,” said Schottenheimer, adding he would rely heavily on offensive coor dinator Joe Scannella. Although the team has one of the best defenses in the football, its of fense has been unable to produce. touchd Dennis a pass Rutigliano, an assistant co»i y arc * *' the pros for 11 yean before to (Cleveland, took overtheSra in 1978 and led the dub toatiii cord.
