Falcons' playoff chances slimmer

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - The Los Angeles Rams were already looking ahead to next season. Now it seems the JAtlanta Falcons are, too. "Realistically, we’re going to be at home at Christmas time just like the Rams,” Atlanta Coach Leeman Bennett said Monday after Los Angeles dampened the Falcons’ playoff hopes with a 21-16 victory. "It looks like we finally ran out of chances,” said Falcon quarterback Steve Bartkowski, who was held in check by the Los Angeles defense. "Obviously I’m disappointed, but we were simply outplayed in this game.” Atlanta, 7-8, still has a slim shot at the lone remaining National Football Conference wild card berth. If the Falcons whip Cincinnati in next Sunday's regular-season finale at Atlanta, they could possibly finish as one of six NFC teams

Maneuver backfires in L.A.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - An attempt to stack the deck in his favor on the Los Angeles Coliseum Commission has left County Board of Supervisors Chairman Pete Schabarum out in the cold in his efforts to force the commission to forget about the Oakland Raiders. Schabarum removed two supervisors from the ninemember commission in a maneuver to gain support for his plan to get an expansion team for the Coliseum, which was vacated by the Los Angeles

with 8-8 records. The NFL’s complex tie-breaking system would then determine the wildcard berth. Atlanta’s loss assured Philadelphia of the other NFC wild card spot. Wendell Tyler ran for two touchdowns, the last to bring the Rams from behind with 7:17 remaining in the game. Trailing 16-14, Los Angeles went 80 yards to Tyler’s 7-yard scoring run with the help of two pass-interference calls, against the Falcons’ Bobby Butler and Kenny Johnson. The penalties, which occurred two plays apart, moved the ball all the way from the Rams’ 20 to the Atlanta 7. Despite those two mistakes and an interception off Bartkowski that ended the final Falcons’ hope at the Ram 7yard line with two minutes remaining, Bennett said an

Rams in their move to Anaheim in 1980. The Raiders were blocked in their attempt to move to Los Angeles by the National Football League. A lengthy federal anti-trust trial ended in a hung jury. Schabarum told Supervisor Kenneth Hahn, who had been on the Coliseum Commission since 1953, and Supervisor Ed Edleman on Monday they had been removed from the commission. He replaced them with two

earlier play made the difference. “I felt the key was the interception by Nolan Cromwell when it looked like we were going to score,” he said. “That was a swing of 10 or 14 points.” With Atlanta at the Rams’ 11 late in the second quarter, Cromwell picked off a Bartkowski throw three yards deep in the end zone and raced 94 yards to set up a 3-yard touchdown run by Mike Guman. That gave Los Angeles a 14-10 halftime advantage. Tyler’s other touchdown came on a 6-yard run earlier in the second quarter. Lynn Cain gave Atlanta a 7-0 first-quarter lead on a 2-yard touchdown burst. The other Atlanta scoring came on field goals of 45, 25 and 22 yards by Mick Luckhurst, the last giving the Falcons a 16-14 edge with 8:40 left in the game.

supervisors considered his political allies, Mike Antonovich and Deane Dana, in the apparent hope that they would help him become president of the commission. In a special session of the commission Monday, Antonovich nominated Schabarum for president. Instead of winning the position, however, Schabarum ended up losing his seat as vice president in the backlash over his maneuvering.
