Layne Blasts
Officiating In
Bear-Pitt Game
PITTSBURGH (7P> Quarter
back Bobby Layne is still fuming
over the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 27-21
loss to the Chicago Bears last
Sunday in Chicago.
“I hate to lose any game,” said
Layne yesterday, "and I especial
ly hate to lose when the opposi
tion gets away with knocking
down my receivers on deliberate
fouls.
"But that seems to be an ac
cepted custom in Chicago. They
get away with anything.
“If the officials had called an
interference penalty against Erich
Barnes, who almost ripped Jimmy
Orr’s shirt off his back on a pass
olay in the fourth period, we
might have won the game then
and not had to go through that
heart-breaking series at the fin
ish.
“Barnes held Orr for at least 10
yards and then wrestled him
down. This happened in full view
of Field Judge Don Looney and
there was no penalty.
"Had there been a call then, we
would have had the ball on their
20 with more than enough time
left to mix passes with running
and go for the clincher as we def
initely had the Bears going around
in circles at the time.
