6D ROCHESTER DEMOCRAT AND CHRONICLE Friday, Sept. 7, 1979 Todd vo replace Robinson at quarterback for Jets 1 hi i Celtics compensate Pistons with McAdoo PRO FOOTBALL MORNING BRIEFING end Jeff Merrow on the injured reserve list because of a dislocated toe he suffered in Sunday's victory over New Orleans Pittsburgh Steeler guard Sam Davis will not play Sunday's game against Houston because of a pulled hamstring. In addition, defensive end L.C. Greenwood has been dropped from questionable to doubtful for the game because of a knee injury Detroit defensive tackle Cleveland Elam will be out for an indefinite period because of a fractured left hand. IK ill MACENi EVERY SATURDAY Associated Press Richard Todd, who lost his job as the New York Jets' No.

1 quarterback to Matt Robinson during the exhibition season, will start Sunday's game against the New England Patriots, Jets Coach Walt Michaels said yesterday in New York. Robinson's right thumb was injured several days before last week's National Football League season opener, reportedly when a teammate opened a door just as Robinson was reaching for the doorknob on the other side. "I just don't want to let him throw with tape on his hand," Michaels said. SITE The NFL is expected to approve a recommendation that the Washington Redskins play their Oct. 7 game against the Eagles in Philadelphia, instead of the nation's "capital, because of the traffic problems that are expected with the visit of Pope John Paul II Redskins President Edward Bennett proposed the switch, which also would have the Eagles play Oct.

21 in Washington instead of Philadelphia. Jim Heffernan, the NFL's public information director, said, "I would guess that we'd honor the request. The Eagles have no objection." GRAVELLE BACK WITH GIANTS: Gordon Gravelle, who said he would quit football rather than play for the New York Giants, had a change of heart and returned to the club. Gravelle arrived at Giants Stadium in time to participate in the afternoon workout. WILLIAMS JOINS 49ERS: Gerard Williams, who played three years with the Washington Redskins, has joined the San Francisco 49ers.

He was placed on the roster after the 49ers waived safety John Bristor. In another development, the 49ers cut veteran defensive tackle Ed Galigher to make room for O.J. Simpson's return to the active roster. INJURY UPDATES: Running back Horace Ivory, the New England Patriots top scorer in 1978, was placed on the injured reserve list with a twisted right knee and ankle. He'll be replaced by Don Calhoun The Atlanta Falcons placed defensive GATES OPEN AT 4 RACINS STARTS AT 1 Ui din i1 MrC Staff Sharpshooter Bob McAdoo, unhappy with the Boston Celtics, was traded to the De-troit Pistons yesterday, solving a dispute yjbietween the two National Basketball Association clubs over compensation for Boston's signing of forward M.L.

Carr. "I'm delighted to go to a team that wants me," said the 6-foot-9 McAdoo, a three-time NBA scoring champion. He had said the New Jersey Nets were his first choice. "I like Bob McAdoo as a player. I'm sure he'll be playing very hard against Boston year," said Celtics Coach Bill Fitch at a news conference in Boston Garden, home of the Celtics.

However Fitch emphasized the rest of the 'deal with the Pistons a pair of 1980 first-round draft picks from Detroit "is a positive aspect for the franchise." Fitch said, "If you look back at Olympic it years, those are your best drafts." Late in July, the Celtics signed the 6-6 i Carr as a free agent. The lengthy negotiations over compensation between the two clubs resulted in the' teams asking NBA ,5 Commissioner Larry O'Brien to arbitrate. O'Brien asked both clubs to submit pro-'" posals by Aug. 31, and then set Sept. 7 as the deadline for counter-proposals.

Howev-yer Celtics President Red Auerbach and "Oeneral Manager Oscar Feldman of Detroit agreed earlier this week on the settlement, Fitch said. "We have agreed to give them our regu-i lar first-round pick and the pick we got from Washington for Kevin Porter," said Pistons spokesman Bill Kreifeldt. "We did it because we expect to carry four, maybe five rookies this year." McAdoo, who played only 20 games for Boston last year and averaged 20.6 points a game, still finished fourth among individual scorers in the league with a 24.6 average. "It'll be a pleasure to play alongside a bona fide center like Bob Lanier for the 'V first time in my career," McAdoo said. Meanwhile, the New York Knicks announced the signing of their three top draft choices center Bill Cartwright and forwards Larry Demic and Sylvester "Sly" Williams all three choices obtained from Boston last year in the deal that brought McAdoo to the Celtics.

Chism an all-star First baseman Tom Chism, the top hitter on the Rctchester Red Wings' worst team in Silver Stadium history, was named to the International League All-Star team. Pennant winner Columbus and Pawtucket each landed' four players on the 11-man squad that was selected by players, managers, the media and front office officials. Columbus outfielder Bobby Brown and Pawtucket third baseman Dave Stapleton were named co-most valuable players. Columbus reliever Rick Anderson (14-3 with 20 saves) was named most valuable pitcher. Tidewater outfielder Mookie Wilson was named rookie of the year and Syracuse's Vern Benson was named manager of the year.

The team also included catcher Brad Gulden and second baseman Roger Holt of Columbus; pitcher Tommy Boggs of Richmond; and shortstop Glenn Hoffman, outfielder Sam Bowen, who led the league with 28 homers, and designated hitter Dave Koza of Pawtucket. Waterman a Zenith Tim Waterman will do his basketball playing for the Rochester Zeniths this season. Zeniths co-owner Dick Hill announced the signing of the 6-foot-9 former St. Bonaven-ture center. "We should have (ex-Bonnies guard) Nick Urzetta, too," added Hill, "if he Powrmatic Wood and Gas-Wood and Oil COMBINATION FURNACE Bob McAdoo doesn't make the New York Knicks." Urzetta is from East Rochester.

The addition of Waterman and Urzetta will give the Zeniths a decided Bonaventure accent. Former Bona guard Glenn Hagan starred for the Continental Basketball Association champions last year. He plans to return to the Z's, who have joined the United Basketball Association this season. Hill said he and co-owner Art Stock won't trade all-star guard Andre McCarter to Anchorage for Stan Pietkiewicz. "We got too much static on the deal from the fans," Hill explained.

McCarter recently signed with the Atlanta Hawks of the NBA. "If we don't get compensation from the Hawks, we might sue them," Hill said. "The NBA has pushed us around too long." Headliners William Purcell, coach of the Kalamazoo, Red Wings, will coach the new American Hockey League club in Glens Falls this season. Purcell replaces Larry Wilson, who died last month of a heart attack while jogging Senate Majority Leader Warren Anderson named two men, including his chief counsel, to positions on the state Sports Authority. Anderson appointed Theodore Mulford.
