Rams Halt Chiefs With Rally, 44-24

LOS ANGELES (AP)- The Los Angeles Rams, outplayed and trailing by 11 points at half-time, exploded for three touchdowns in the third period tonight and went on to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs, 44-24, before a capacity crowd of 73,990 in the Coliseum.

Roman Gabriel, Ram quarterback, and Jack Snow combined their aerial artistry to pull the Rams out in front on two spectacular plays-the first a 40-yard touchdown strike that narrowed the score to 24-20, and then a 62-yard pass that put the Rams in front to stay, 27-24.

Lester Josephson put the game out of sight before the period ended, rumbling 55 yards down the Ram sideline on a pitchout from Gabriel

It was the fifth straight victory for the Rams and the first defeat in five games for the American Football League champions.
