LOUIS — Cardinal coach Jim Hanifan Monday came to the de fense of officials feeling the heat from St. Louis fans enraged over two calls in Sunday’s loss to the Dal las Cowboys, 24-17. “It’s part of the game,” Hanifan said of the officiating. “You get into the human factor here. We all make mistakes.” Hanifan said the problem with of ficiating is the complexity of football today. “You’ve got a heck of a lot of things going on — multiple types of coverages,” he said. “It’s not like it used to be. It was a simpler game. And I think being a simpler game, it was a little easier to call.” Both of the controversial calls that raised the ire of Cardinal fans and players involved St. Louis wide re ceiver Roy Green, the NFL’s leading pass receiver. ’ On the first play, Green appeared to have hauled in a 39-yard touch down pass from Neil Lomax that would have given St. Louis the lead with 26 seconds left in the third quarter. However, field judge Pat Mallette ruled Green pushed off of Cowboy cornerback Everson Walls and called the play back on offensive pass inter ference. Walls said Green’s push was “slight,” adding, “I thought he heat me for a touchdown.” The second call was actually a no call and appeared even more blatant in replays. The Cardinals were try ing to comeback in the fourth quar ter of the 24-17 loss when Lomax passed to Green. But before the ball got to Green, Walls popped him from behind. No penalty was called. Hanifan, however, dismissed the officiating as the breaks of the game, and pointed to a move important factor for the defeat — six turn overs. “You often look at turnovers and say, well, that’s from sloppy play or careless play,” he said. “A lot of times a turnover is because of some body trying to do something a little bit more than the ordinary. “In the final analysis of it, whether you’re a mature team or a young team, if you lose the ball four times in fumbles, you’ve got yourself a world of crap.” In fact, Hanifan said it was a trib ute to the team that it was in position for a tying touchdown in the final minutes despite the four fumbles and two interceptions. “When it’s all said and done, in my mind, we should have won that foot ball game,” said Hanifan. “We damn near did it anyway with a helluva lot of adversity, with turnovers, with pe nalties, with touchdowns called back. We were still in the cotton-picking ball game.” The Cardinals now are 6-5 and facing what Hanifan called “an uphill battle” for a playoff berth. “What we’ve got to do is get out there in the next five weeks and play our game,” he said.

Dickerson legend to be Payton passes torch United Press Internationa] LOS ANGELES — The torch Walter Payton carried as the NEl.'s premier running back for so many seasons has been passed. The flame now goes to Eric Dickerson. The final step in the exchange of the NFL’s unofficial “Golden Cleat Award” was made Sunday, when Dickerson romped for 149 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the Los Angeles Rams’ victory over the Chi cago Bears. Payton finished with only 60 yards rushing. For awhile, the doubters will re main. Those who have watched Pay- ton confuse and baf fle NFL defenses for a decade will he unable to let go. He is, after all, the all-time leading rusher, having left the legend of Jim Brown in his wake earlier this year. “Eric Dickerson is not the best I’ve played against,” Chicago line- little chance all 28 wouldn’t make Dickerson their first choice. Although he gained 208 yards a week ago against St. Louis, Sunday's performance against the tough Bear defense may have been Dickerson’s finest. He took control of the game in the second half, dancing his way to a seemingly effortless 99 yards and both touchdowns with a remark ably different running style than Payton’s. When Payton runs, you look for a linebacker or safety. When Dicker- son runs, you glance around for Ginger Rogers. This season, Dickerson has cranked out eight 100-yard games, piling up 1,309 yards. Payton is sec ond with 1,172 yards. “I had great respect for Eric Did erson in college,” said linebam Ohs Wilson, “and l for him.

But he’s in the room right now.” Even the modest Dickerson casts his vote for Payton. “To me, he’s the greatest,” Dicker- son said. “I think he’s the best run ning back in pro football.” But if you polled the 28 NFL team OK. Sometimes the stats don’t give the whole truth. Maybe Dicker- son has carried the ball more often than Payton. Wrong. Dickerson has 241 carries this year and is averaging 5.4 yards per rush. Payton has car ried the ball eight more times and is averaging 4.7 yards per carry. If he doesn’t get that recorii season, he almost surely will he gives NFL defenses a break an retires. The 24-year-old from Seal Texas says he's still learning. “I’ll get better,” he vows. “Y better as you get older.
