Saturday, Aug. 7, 1971 8ge Dan Cook Executive Sports Editor Garrett Spoke Too Soon YOU'VE GOT TO FEEL SORRY for poor Carl Garrett, the New England runner who was traded to Dallas in exchange for rebellious Duane Thomas. Garrett talked just a little tou soon. After hearing of the trade he packed his grip and told reporters, "I feel that I'm just as good as Thomas. The only difference is he's been running behind that great Dallas line.

Just wait until he tries his stuff behind that Patriots' line and he'll find out how rough the going can get. miss the Dallas blockers." Well, so is Garrett going to miss the Dallas Mockers now that (he trade has been voided and everybody goes back where they were. Even'Worse, Garrclt has to return and face those Patriot linemen he put clown. And besides facing them, he's got to try and run behind them again. Lee's Dallas 'Friends' THE TRUTH OFTEN HURTS and Lee Trevino evidently spoke the truth in El Paso the othei day and it iiurt several Dallas golf pros.

During "Trevino Day" celebrations in El Paso Tuesday Lee charged that Dallas pros would not help him get a tour card in 1965 even though he had worked in Dallas for six Namath for New Season By MIKE RATHET daled Frew SfMts Writer The long shaggy locks stiB will be curling below his but it'll be a new Joe Namath on center stage Saturday night, when the New York Jets meet Detroit in one erf 11 National Football League exhibition games this weekend. Who says there's a hew Nam- ath? Namath says so. i only the coaches' and players' opinions mattered," Namath said as he continued practice for the exhibition opener; "I knew that they knew the real ma, and I didn't care what any one else thought. But my attitude is changed now. I want to do better this year.

"I've always wanted to do well, but; this is different. I do care what people think. I realize that now. I get tired of going to places and having people think they already know me, based strictly OB what they've heard or read about me. 'Here comes they say.

The wise guy. The I don't want that." "I want to show people that I'm the No. 1 quarterback in football," he says frankly. "I'm going to convince them starting this Saturday--that we're the best and I'm the best." The convincing begins at Tampa, scene of the Jets- Lions game and the first test of the broken wrist that sidelined Namath most of the 1970 season, a situation generally credited with provoking his search for a new outlook. While Namath displays that new look, four new coaches will make their debut and a host of trade acquisitions will begin play for their new teams on a weekend program that began Friday night with Dallas at Los Asgetes and New Orleans at In other Saturday night action, Washington and new Coach George Allen tangle at San Diego with the Chargers and Sid GUlman, returning to coaching after a year's absence; Dan Cevine debuts as Green Bay's new coach in a game against Chicago at Milwaukee; Kansas City is at Baltimore and Cincinnati at Miami.

On Sunday, it'll be Cleveland and new coach Nick Skorich at San Francisco and New England, with John Mazur at the helm for his first season-opener, at Minnesota. The curtain comes down Monday with the New York Giants at Houston and Philadelphia at Oakland. Allen, who moved from Los Angeles to Washington, in the off season, will get his first look at a team he has totally years, seeking the card. But alter moving to El Paso he got his card within a year and was on the tour. Now folks, that's just simple fact.

But when these words bounced over into Dallas several of the golf pros there hit the ceiling and rushed forth to claim complete innocence. Stewart wlio was Dallas PGA president in 1965. said "the executive committee was 100 percent behind Trevino at that time, but his name never came up for approval." The reason It didn't is that rules at that time demanded two class A pros--and one had to foe an employer--sign an applicant's petition. Hardy Greenwood, who was Trevino's cm- pleyer at Ihe pllch-and-putt course in Dallas, always refused sign the petition. Today Greenwood admits that he'did refuse to sign the petition, or application, but lie won't say why.

Greenwood just remarked, "the reasons were--and arc--my own but I fee! they wore for Lee's good." So ycu see, Greenwood actually was trying to help Lee, acting in what he figured was his bcst'iiHerest. He said so himself. Man, friends like that Trevino didn't need any enemies in Dallas. The Dallas pros Jiiiglit have been smarter if they had remained silent and let the issue sail over their heads. There's just 110 way that going to buy their innocent pleas after they, by-passed and snubbed the Dallas-born Trevino.

As i of the Dallas PGA Stewart couldn't have worked too hard on Lee's behalf if he couldn't straighten out a pitch-and-putt operator in his own backyard. Realistic mother ABILENE CHRISTIAN FULLBACK Wolfgang Halbig did an outstanding job last season as he doubled as kickoff man. His specialty was onside kicks and in one game he dribbed three on- Side kicks down field. He recently confided to friends, "I showed my mother the film of that game in which I made all those onside kicks. Being German, mother doesn't understand much about football.

After watching me make the first two onside kicks she asked, 'What's the matter with your coach? Can't he find somebody better than you to kick the Rod Laver Upset BROOKLINE, Mass. (AP) -Marty Riessen, a former Northwestern University star believed all washed up in tennis five years ago, turned in a stunning upset with a 76 victory over five-time chain-' pion Rod Laver Friday in the; quarter-final round of the $50,000 U.S. Pro Championships.

Laver, a finalist in the tournament for eight years since turning pro, ran away with the first set at the Longwood Ten nis Club but wilted under Ries sen's aggressiveness and pow er. Rieasen, who will be 30 in De jcember, held off two match points on his service in the 10th game of the third set, thei broke Laver in the llth. Lavei caused his own downfall bj double faulting twice for the fi nal two points in the game.

Top-seeded John Newcombe of Australia and third-seeded Cliff Drysdale of South Africa also advanced lo the semifinals with hard-earned victories.

Newcombe, the Wimbledon champion, defeated llth seeded Jon Alexander of Australia 75. 6-4, while Drysdale survived a second-set letdown in eliminating fifth-seeded Tom Okker of the Netherlands C-4, 4-6, C-4. Second-seeded Arthur Ashe, America's top-ranked professional, was eliminated in a late quarter-final upset. The 28-year-old Ashe was ousted by sixth-seeded Ken Kosewall, a 36-year-old Australian veteran, G-3, li-4. Rosewall, the 1963 and 1965 U.S.

Pro champion, survived a shaky start to rally from a love-4i) deficit to hold his service in the first game of his match with Ashe. He gained the advantage as Ashe, encountering difficulty with his overhead smashes, lost his service in the fourth game. refitted with trade acquisitions, The only flaw is the questionable status of quarterback Sonny Jurgensen who jammed a thumb in practice. New faces expected to be in Allen's starting line-up are four of his former Rams players-linebackers Jack Pardee and Myron Potties, defensive tackle Diron Talbert and guard John Wilbur--and defensive ends Verlon Biggs (New York Jets) and Ron McDole (Buffalo Bills) and wide receiver Roy Jefferson (Baltimore).

Virgil Carter gets the opening call at quarterback for Cincinnati, Mike Phipps starts for Cleveland, Gary Cuozzo gets the nod for Minnesota and Pete Liske begins throwing passes for Philadelphia. In addition, two of the top rookie quarterbacks also may see action with Jim Plunkett of Stanford possibly following Mike Taliaferro on stage for New England and Houston likely 'to unveil Dan Pastorini of Santa Clara, for spot action against the Giants.

Post Signs With Broncs DENVER (AP) The Denver Broncos announced Friday the signing of newly-acquired running back Dickie Post.
