By The Associated Press
This is the sixth weekend of
the fledgling United States
Football League - but its
first real test economically,
according to Commissioner
Chet Simmons
“I think it's going to be a
learning process, starting
this weekend," said Sim-
mons. referring to the
USFL’s first head-to-head
battle with baseball for
television viewers and the
fans' dollar.
Simmons has seen atten-
dance in his league drop
dramatically in the past few
weeks. Two places where the
league will compete for fan
support are in Los Angeles
and the New York area, but
even at that the New Jersey
Generals are expecting a big
crowd for Sunday's game in
East Rutherford, N.J., with
the Michigan Panthers
The Generals say they ex-
pect a crowd of 45,000 to
watch the return of their
team from a road victory last
week over Arizona in which
running back Herschel
Walker had his biggest pro
day.
The USFL weekend begins
tonight when the Denver
Gold, 3-2 and winner of three
in a row, hosts the Tampa
Bay Bandits, 4-1.
In other Sunday games, the
Philadelphia Stars, 4-1, play
in Los Angeles against the
Express. 3-2; the Birm-
ingham Stallions, 2-3. visit
the Chicago Blitz, 3-2. and the
Boston Breakers, 4-1. host the
Oakland invaders, 2-3. Mon-
day night, the Arizona
Wranglers, 2-3, play the
Washington Federals, 1-4
Tampa Bay, which holds a
one-game lead over Chicago
for the Central Division lead,
is trying to come back from a
42-3 loss to Chicago last
Saturday The Bandits still
lead the USFL in total of-
fense. averaging 355 yards
per game
