At the end of 1970, Carter was the regular quarterback. He has not lost that assignment. He will be the starter when camp opens Monday at Wilmington, and he deserves to hold down the spot until or unless Greg Cook or Ken Anderson beat him out. The drama of Cook and-or Anderson trying to capture the No. 1 Job from Carter will, of course, be acted out in the days and weeks to come before the pros settle down in the trenches for the championship shootout starting September 19.

A man who knows more about the Carter-Cook-Anderson scramble than absolutely anyone else Is William Ernest Walsh, who tutors the Bengals' receivers and quarterbacks. Bill Walsh has been working with all three, side-by-side, for many weeks now. 'i WALSH WAS. CHATTING about the situation Friday morning at Spinney Field, and for a change it was neither Carter nor Cook he wanted to talk about, but the rookie from Augustana College sat Rock Island, Ken Anderson. "We have been spending a lot of time with him," Walsh declared, "And It appears he has made some progress." It is the Paul Brown approach.

Translated, the measured words of Walsh are that he Walsh (not the stereotyped football believes Anderson has really been looking good and his progress is better than expected. Bill Walsh uses words as carefully as he sets up pass patterns. He is not one to go anywhere or say anything without a game plan. "Mechanically, Kenny is very sound, very strong, very accurate Walsh said. "He has the ability to throw accurately and with authority.

"You combine this with Ken's intelligence, and you get what Paul Brown knows is a fine prospect." Walsh pointed out that Anderson, a mathematics major at Augustana, was one of the few scholar-athletes to win an academic scholarship from the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The NCAA only gives out so many of these a year," Walsh explained, "Kenny won'it by maintaining an average better than 3.4 out of a possible 4.0. You don't stand a chance with an average of anything less." THE BENGAL QUARTERBACK situation is going to be watched closely by every other tet in the National Football League and any word on Anderson will be noted as much as anyone else. Walsh, without knowing it, explained why. "I do know this," Walsh Is a very valuable item in professional football.

Where he'll fit in with our team we just don't know at this time. But we're going to find out. "Look, we have a proven performer in Carter. He is an excellent quarterback, and will be better this year, after a year with us under his belt. There's no sense in going into the Cook thing again.

He was No. 1 two years -ago, and is trying to get back. As said many times before, only time will tell with Greg. "What it amounts to is that we have three guys who look extremely good to us, and we have a fourth in -Dave Lewis. It is a good situation, but we can't feel we've arrived yet." -v Walsh, as always, is cautious in any whether it's a given position, a game coming up or the way things look going into a season.

Call it the "Brown approach." AMONG THOSE ANDERSON was throwing to Frl-' day at Spinney were wide receivers Tommie Smith and Paul Dunn, both members of the taxi squad last year. They are In town early, getting ready to report with the veterans next Friday. Dunn has shed 20 pounds down to 198 pounds had to be when they switched me to a wide receiver," Paul said) and Smith is in absolutely great shape. "You put Kenny and Tommie together," Walsh "I mean throwing and catching, and they're something, by golly." Logically, the next step was to ask both of them what they think of Anderson, with whom they had not worked before. They wasted little words.

"I like him" Smith answered. "He throws it hard and accurately. He looks like a good one to me." Dunn went further. "He's beautiful," Paul laughed. "He looks where the ball is going.

He's great. I have a problPin with him because I've been working out with young kids and I'm not used to a guy who throws like at least not yet." P.S. There will be a few thousand more words written on Bengal quarterbacks and Ken Anderson during the next few weeks, but as of right now the tion can be summed up in one word: "Encouraging." It's a conservative estimate, really. i in a week, the Reds had THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Saturday, July 10, 1971 13 couldn't retire anyone in the ninth as Clendenon doubled Jerry Grote singled for a run.

This set up the final strange happening of, the night. Duffy Dyers singled to right, only Rose, who lost the ball in the lights, fielded it and forced Tim Foil at second base.

Strange happenings? First of all, consider how strange it is for Seaver, an All- Star pitcher ever since he's been in the league, to be knocked out after three innings. -And then there was Woody Woodward, who got two hits in two tries against the Met superstar.

All that did for Woodward was give him, six consecutive hits against Seaver this year. There's even more that was strange in this one. Reliever. Wayne Granger, a tall, thin man who is not known as a strong man, clubbed one of Ray Sa-decki's pitches over the wall in left-ceniterfield for his first big league home run. It was, in fact, Granger's first homer since "That gets him even with you at one homer each," Granger's running mate, Clay Carroll, was told.

"Yeah," laughed Carroll, his wasn't off a superstar." Carroll's homer was off St. Louis' Bob Gibson, hitting the top of the fence and bouncing over. "That's only because I've never faced Gibson," Granger. Yes, the Big Red machine had for once become a happy machine. Things didn't look too good in the first when the Mets, now eight games behind Pittsburgh in the East, scored twice against Ross Grimsley, a rookie with a 5-4 record.

Grimsley walked th bases loaded, then gave up a sacrifice fly to Dorm Clendenon. A single by Ken Singleton scored the second run before he was thrown out on the bases, one of many Met base -running errors. Singles by Bernie Carbo, Dave Concepcion, Pete Rose and Woodward tied the game in the second at 2-2. In the third the Reds took the lead. Tony Perez doubled, Carbo walked, and Pat Corrales and Woodward drove in runs.

An error and Teddy Martinez' double scored a run in the sixth for the Mets but the Reds got it back when George Foster homered off Tug McGraw. Granger's homer ac- counted for the next point put on the board. "Would you believe I called that," said Granger, who did tell pitching coach Larry Shepard he was going to hit one out. "I even pointed to the spot," kidded Granger. "You've got to be said a listener.
