July 25 Wayne Trimble, a second-year player, and Terry Hoepp-ner, a rookie, ended their efforts to make the football Cardinal squad yesterday. Hoeppner, a defensive back from Franklin, decided his chances were slim because of a shoulder separation he suffered Wednesday. Trimble, who came to the Cardinals last season from the San Francisco 49ers, was a tight end candidate who had almost every qualification except size.

He was set back by a leg injury last year and came to camp this year weighing 215 pounds. MORRISON I ti. "tr 7 iv JI4i 4 Am that I could play with the Virginia Sailors, a Washington Redskin farm club. We were in the same league with the Westchester Bulls, Richmond Road Runners and Hartford Knights, who beat us out for the title. "It was the usual minor league football routine.

Most of the guys had other Jobs. One weekend, we had a 430-mile bus trip and arrived 30 minutes before the kickoff." Brown kept his weight down to about 210 pounds because he thought the Cardinals would want to try him as a wide receiver again. "But Charley Winner called me in April," Brown said, "and asked me to come in at 225 pounds as a tight end. So I put on 17 pounds with weight-lifting." Tight end is nothing new for Brown. He often played the position in college, then at Montreal and with the Virginia minor league team.

"I kinda like it in tight," said Brown. The football Cardinals also will "kinda like it" if they dis Bob Brown Nationa By Robert Morrison Of the Post-Dispatch Staff LAKE FOREST, 111., July 25 Bob Brown thought he'd make it In pro football two years ago. He almost but then the Army got him. Now the 26-year-old Brown is back in camp with the football Cardinals again, and this time he has a chance to stick. He was a wide-receiver prospect when he first 'came up from the Montreal Beavers of the Continental Football League.

Now he's battling Chuck Logan for the backup spot behind Jackie Smith at tight end. "I went through the full training camp in 1967," said Brown, whose parents live on Cass Avenue in St. Louis. "I felt I bad a good chance to make the squad then. Sonny Randle had been traded and It seemed the Cardinals wanted a fourth wide receiver to go with Bobby Joe Conrad, Dave Williams and Billy GambreU.

"I stayed on the taxi squad until Oct. 30, when I was drafted and sent to Fort Bliss, for basic training." A two-year interruption often Is enough to dislocate the ambitions of a pro football aspirants, but Brown was lucky and made the most of his situation.

He had been a physical education graduate of Alcorn A after his parents moved from Cleveland, to St. Louis. With his background, the Army put him in what he knew best-physical education.

"That way I got to play on the basketball team that won the First Army championship both years," Brown said. "I played basketball in high school in Mississippi. In the Army, I think I had a high game of 41 points and averaged about 24 points. "Last season, I had hours so cover a second tight end to throw into thlrd-and-one situations as a blocker near the goal line. Logan, the pleasant fifth-year pro from Northwestern, has held the tight end back-up job for several seasons.
