It was just another Sunday for the Boston Patriots, who came off the field yesterday in St. Louis with a 31-0 loss to the Cardinals and a 1-7 record.

The result was a rather discouraging debut for John Mazur, the Patriot's new coach. He was selected last week to replace Clive Rush.

The Cardinais' MacArthur Lane took advantage of the brittle Boston defense as he scored three of his team's touchdowns. Meanwhile, Patriot quarterback Joe Kapp completed 14 of 31 passes before being removed in the third quarter.
