Cincy Team World Softball Champs PARMA, Ohio (Special) J.

C. Rutenschroer Florists of Cincinnati completed a fantastic comeback by sweeping host Parma in a doubleheader, 2-1 and 4-2. Monday night to win the women's world slow-pitch softball championship. Beaten in the first) round and thus thrown into the loser's bracket of the two-defeat-and-out elimination tournament, the Cincinnati-ans won tfwo games from Florida teams earlier Monday, then came back to beat previously unbeaten Parma. Brown said of Avery.

He's a hitter, and very decisive In his play. He makes up his mind, then whacks 'em." Looking further at the defense, Brown said "Steve Chomyszak is starting to play better, indicating he's able to live up to that strong body he's got." Rookie defensive tackle Mike Reid's name came up again, and Brown said "he leads that defensive charge and the rest go right with him. He is really something, I'll tell you." Brown also liked what he saw of Jquarterback Virgil Carter, who saw his first action in Bengal livery against the Packers. "I like him, he has fine form," Brown enthused. "The second pass he threw called for accuracy and quick release, and he got It in there.

He's going to help us." Brown was particularly pleased, too, with Essex Johnson who averaged nearly five yards per carry against the Packers, including one cruise around the right side for 33 yards. "It was the best he's ever played for us," Brown said, "and showed his potential. He's always had fine potential, but he's gals have until 4 p. m. Wednesday to recall the waivers, but if they do they will have to let someone else go.

All kinds of possibilities thus suggest themselves, and at the same time Brown noted "We are, of course, keeping a close watch on players the other teams let go." A man could, with some degree of certainty, guess the positions where the final four cuts will be made next Monday when all NFL clubs get down to the final 40. Unless events this week change things, the positions that now are overstocked are running back, wide receiver, defensive line and defensive back. There will be some players at those positions shaking in their boots this week. Meanwhile, Brown had some more-detailed analysis of last week's 10-10 tie with Green Bay in his mind after spending all Sunday afternoon watching the game films. "We were better, both offensively and defensively," Brown declared, "but when we got ahead we probably played it too close to the vest." This was the same Nick Roman DEFENSIVE END No.

He is particularly quick with his hands and feet, has exceptional upper body strength and can come around to get the quarterback with agility you wouldn't expect in a man of his size. A quiet guy, almost always with a smile. Roman loves footbpll.

He's Intelligent, adjusts easily, and his coach, Chuck Stud-ley, says "he's tough guy with good football background." Roman has a mild history of physical problems. He lacks stamina, and the Bengals have him on a weight program. But if he can overcome an injury jinx, he can be a big "find" for the Bengals. Roman was originally cut by the Bengals in rookie camp, but brought back on the taxi squad. Activated not long after the pre-season games By DICK FORBES Enquirer Sports Reporter The Bengals got down to the 44-player limit required by the National Football League at 4 p.

m. Monday by asking waivers on two guards, a running back, a defensive back and a defensive lineman. After a final early-afternoon staff meeting at Spinney Field, where the Labor Day holiday was ignored by both the coaches and players, coach Paul Brown announced the decisions. Those who got the pink slips were: Guard Dave Midden-dorf, an original Bengal from Washington State who was a regular in the club's first year, 1968. Guard Gary Klrner, a six-year veteran of the old American Football League, whom they received for defensive tackle Andy Rice In a trade with San Diego in the off season.

Running back Paul Dunn, a rookie from U. S. International who may still have some future potential in the pros. Defensive back Ken Dyer of Arizona State, a two-year veteran who had played at San Diego. Defensive lineman Ken Johnson, a former Indiana University basketball player whom the Bengals picked up from Dallas 10 days ago.

"Our guard situation has been apparent for some time," Brown said. "We have Guy Dennis and Pat Matson on one side as the t5 began, Roman has had starting assignments at defensive end the last two games and has shown surprising Improvement in all phases. Roman is one of three Ohio State alumni on the squad. He calls Canton his hometown. Some Rust, Some UC, Muskie Film Grades OK QB Situation Alphabet Soup Dave Middendorf of "originals" as criticizing his own play-calling, for which he has always accepted full responsibility.

Brown singled out several players, starting with linebacker Ken Avery, who played almost the full game at Bill Peterson's left side spot while "Pete" nursed a sore knee. "I'm not only impresed with him, but 1 like the way he goes after 'em," Errors his faculties intact would sit through those again), the squads earned praise for their work. "It looked pretty good for three quarters when we had our first units in there." said Callahan. "Af-. ter that we (second and third stringers) made too many mistakes.

"Concerned? Sure, especially in the offensive line. We have a lot of work to do trying to perfect some things." Selcer approved of what he saw. "We had some rusty areas, but overall it was a good show," said Selcer, who's attempting to reshape football at Xavier after last year's historical low 1-9. He was particularly enthusiastic over an offense he described as "better balanced" over last year's frantic futtllty. "Consistency, that's what impressed me," Selcer said.

Callahan's problems center on a defense that has vomited 652 points (that's right! six-five-two) the last tfwo seasons. He's redone it all theory included and a lot hinges on the alignment of his linebackers. Callahan is adding one linebacker, making a total of four, and a leader of the group is letterman Earl Willson, who packs 195 pounds on a 5 foot 8 inch frame. "Earl finally did the things he's capable of doing," said Callahan, indicating previous concern about the senior charger. "He played much better than he had." Dick James also earned some kind words from Callahan, who now has to admit to some second thoughts about the state of this talented sophomore.

With lettermen abounding in the offensive unit, including the incumbent Steve Cowan, to whose tailback position James aspires, Callahan hasn't had serious thoughts about a soph earning starting status. But James has ankled or four touchdowns in the two major scrimmages, including dashes of 70 and 60 yards. A problem, right, since Cowan, a classy Junior, has the experience as well as the credentials (676 yards)? Maybe so, but Callahan messengers and Ruius Mayes working out well on the other, and Mike Wilson can swing over there If we need him. "At safety (where Dyer played) Sandy Durko and Kenny Graham are carrying the brunt of things, and Ken Coleman is back from last year and played well Saturday night. "Dunn Is very inexperienced as a back and is really a wide receiver," said Brown of the strong-running San Diegan, "and Johnson Just had not been around long enough to prove anything."

UPl Buddy Baker of Charlotte, N. without a victory for two years, piloted his Cotton Owens Dodge to victory Monday in the 21st Southern 500 stock car race. He won handily after accidents late in the race eliminated his closest competitors Donnie Allison and Cale Yarborough.

Yarborough left the race unhurt when he attempted to sweep past three cars on the low side of the back straightaway and crashed into the inside wall. His car spun around several times. Yarborough was running second at the time. Allison had led for 110 laps earlier in the race. He moved into second place and was chasing Baker when his red Ford scraped the wall coming out of the first turn, ending his victory hopes.

Allison also was not hurt, but was through for the day. Bobby Isaac, point standings leader for the Grand National championship, finished second in a Dodge, one lap behind Baker, and Pete Hamilton of Dedham, driving a Plymouth, finished third. David Pearson of Spartanburg, S. who won the pole in his Ford last Thursday, was fourth and Richard Petty of Randleman, N. In a ymouth, was fifth.

Then there Is senior Stan Brown, the 5-11 flanker who led the Big Ten is scoring with 13 conference TDs all on pass receptions. Overall, Brown caught 32 passes for 725 yards. Of course, Phipps can be given some credit, yet you don't ignore catching talent like Bell and Brown, which adds pressure to the search for the right quarterback.

Bell and Brown may have tipped two of the five candidates with the best chances of gaining the starting job. They each singled out Jones and walk-on Piebes as the two who have Impressed them the most in practices. Aside from the quarter-backing dilemma, DeMoss seems to inherit offensive strength with all but three members of his first two offensive units back, Including Cincinnati LaSalle High's Tom Luken, a Junior starting tackle at 6-3 and 233 pounds. There is a rebuilding Job to be done defensively, however, and In his effort to shore up a weak secondary, DeMoss has moved last year's leading ground-gainer Randy Cooper from running back to a defensive cornerback slot. The switch, says DeMoss, should not harm the running game because senior fullback John Bullock and Junior halfback Scott Clayton are experienced rushers.

Cooper will help the Purdue defense, as will all-conference linebacker Veno Paraskevas and all-Big Ten tackle candidate Alex Davis, a 6-5, 270-pound monster from Hamilton (Ohio) Garfield High.

"I think they all have fine ability," he says. "I say there's five potential Bob Orieses out there. Six years ago at this time we didn't know how good Bob Griese was going to be, either.

We're in the same situation we were then, and we Just hope it turns out as well." DeMoss better hope it turns out as well for, as he says, he has one of the best, most experienced groups of receivers In the Big Ten and he doesn't want to waste them.

The 27-year-old Murphy had a 72-hole total of 267, matching the lowest on the tour this year, and won by four strokes over veteran Paul Harney.

Harney, 41-year-old club pro from Sutton, once closed to within two strokes, but Murphy scored a couple of birdies in the stretch and pulled away again. Harney finished with a 67 for 271 and was the only player to mount a serious challenge In the cool, cloudy weather. Tom Welskopf was alone In third, taking a final 67 for 272, 12-under-par on the 6568-yard Wethersfleld Country Club course. It was the 12th time this season Welskopf has finished in the top 10, but he has yet to win.
