Save By DICK FORBES Enquirer Sports Reporter Another week of work wiUi the Bengals' rookie receiving corps hasn't chanced quarterback re-' cedver coach Bill Walsh's opinion of one thing: "Ike Curtis (the No.

1 I draft choice) is Jut pheno- merral. He except1araJ." Walsh agrees he's said that in substance before, that I it's nothing new. But Saturday the Bengals' announced they had signed their No. 2 draft selection, tight end Al Chandler from Oklahoma, and now Walsh was asked his feelings about the 8 foot 3. 235-pound youngster from Oklahoma City.

"He's a fine, young pro who is big, quick, and learns easily." Walsh said. -He has a history of Deing an outstanding blocker." Obviously Chandler, if this report Is read correctly, Isn't about to he given an automatic starting role they already concede to Curtis. He'll have to go some to beat out Rob Trumpy or Bruce Coslet.

"Chandler was always blocking men his size or not as big," said Walsh.

"In pro football the man he blocks will always be as big as he is. But he has all the tools and is a tremendous prospect" Coach Paul Brown, for the record at least, Is enthusiastic about Chandler, who for one reason or another failed to show up during the Bengals' rookie camp here three weeks ago. "We're anxious to begin working with Al at training camp," Brown said, we've liked what we've seen of his workouts at Spinney Field. "He has the size and the Mocking ability to get the job done. He has good hands, can run with the best of them, has the rugged inside style and he'll be a factor all the way." Named to several all-America teams while a starter for three seasons at Oklahoma.

Chandler caught 14 pasees for 301 yards and three touchdowns last year. He Improved steadily from nine catches and 172 yards as a sophomore and eight passes for 223 yards and five TDs as a junior. THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL League has produced 28 inter-conference (AFC-NFC) trades so far this year, 20 trades within the American Conference and eight within ttie Na- Crcnshaw Takes Lead JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (UPI) Dissatisfied with his recent play, top amateur Ben Orenehaw of Austin, finally got his game going Saturday and shot two rounds of two-under-par 68 to take a two-stroke lead In the Sunnetoarvna amateur golf championship with a 208 total for 64 holes, two under par. Crenshaw, of the University of Texas, had three birdies and one bogey In the day's first 18 holes to move within five shots of the 36-hole leader, Mike Klllian of Largo, and then appeared to be falling apart again.

Crenshaw went out In three-over 38 In the day's second 18 holes Bind was visibly irate with his play. Then his game turned around completeiy. Charlie Joiner But, Saturday, the man Walsh has suddenly become excited about is Charlie Joiner, the wide receiver Cincinna ti acquired from Houston during the middle of the 1972 season and, although given a couple of starting assignments, never quite measured up. "He has made Just great Improvements in running pass patterns." Walsh said happily. "I'm talking about the patterns he must learn to play fox us.

He's really showing us something." This Is good news for the Bengals, for whom Joiner was something of a disappointment last season. The four-year veteran from Grambllng obviously was not given tine greatest coaching In the world ait Houston, although you want get the Bengals staff to say so. Another man that WalSh likes is wide receiver Tim George, the No. 3 draft choice from Oarson-News-man. He compared George with types like eight-year veteran Jack Snow of the Los Angeles Rams and seven-year veteran Dick Witcher of the San Fran-Cisco 49ers from Notre Dame and I'CLA, respectively.

"He's a lot like those two at this sttage," Walsh reflected. "He has good speed, but he's not the quick, agile type. He's built along the lines of Snow. I don't think he's as agile as Chip Myers, particularly in his hip movements." It would not be hard to surmise that George won't beat out Myers for a starv ing assignment, at least not this year. Getting back to the new 1 Chandler, whom Oklahoma coach Baxry Swltzer says "was one cf the finest blocking tight ends I have ever seen." i a.i i i i i I 1 i I 1 1 by '6UUt1Aft it tht 'in' noma OUT in the play yaid OUT in the garden OUT at llic farm OUT dt the lake OUT by the pool OUT in the woods Out-HOUSES by Housecraft are sturdily built ot cedar, need no painting or maintenance heavy, won't blow down built in sections, can be erected ouickly no truck in your yard, no disturbing (lowers or lences no concrete footings needed.
