"I came down here t) root against him," Robin Roberts joked, "but he won anyway." No way was Robin Roberts rooting against Steve Carlton. No way anyone else in the crowd of 24,312 at Veterans Stadium on this balmy Friday afternoon was rooting against Steve Carlton. Because Steve Carlton is a full-blown hero, and you no more root against him than you root against The Lone Ranger.

WHICH IS precisely what Steve Carlton was Frid.iy for the first hour and 40 minutes of a 2-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs. The Phillies' great lefthander "stood out 01 the mound and waged' a lonely war to gain his 10th straight victory. His teammates demonstrated their most agonizing, sputtering non-offense against Chicago's Milt Pap-pas. In the game's hour an 1 41st minute, that changed.

Willie Montanez stepped in and looked at two strikes, fouled off one pitch and looked at another for ball one. Pappas then put a slider on tlie inside corner and Montanez savaged it into the right-field seats for his ninth home run of the season and the ball game. Had Montanez done Carlton would have been justified in dragging his teammates into court on a nonsup- port charge. "I was kidding the guys on the bench," said Phillies manager Paul Owens. "I was telling them I was surprised to see them looking at Carlton.

I figured they'd have to turn away from him, wouldn't be able to face him." Now they can. But they have to look up to do it. Not merely because Carlton eclipsed the previous modern club record of nine straight victories shared by Robert (1952), Ken Heintzelman (1949) and Grover Cleveland Alexander (1915). Also because he: REGISTERED his second straight shutout and ran his scoreless streak to 271-3 innings. (It was his fifth shutout of the year.)

Morton Throws for 2 TDs POINTING TO MUNICH 7 owboy Dim folabelttuia nqumr SPORTS Saturday, July 29, 1972 Dial Score LO 3-2842 For Late Results .11 Mike Clark kicked a 31-yard field goal late in the first quarter to give the Cowboys a 3-0 lead. THE FIELD GOAL followed an interception by Mel Renfro of a Jerry Tagge pass at the All-Star 30-yard line. The All-Star defense, led by linemen Sherman White from California and John Menden-hall of Grambling and backs Tommy Cassanova of LSU and Tom Darden of Michigan, showed surprisingly well. Darden intercepted a Roger Staubach pass on his own 19. and returned it 30 yards.

The Dallas defense led by linemen Bob Lilly, Larry Cole and Jethro Pugh was equally effective in keeping the All-Stars neutralized. MORTON tossed an 18-yard ir 'j? r- 1 touchdown pass to Ron Sellers with less than five minutes remaining in the first half to give the Cowboys a 10-0 half-time lead. The pass to Sellers, acquired last week from the "New England Patriots, climaxed a 66-yard drive which took 11 plays. Two plays earlier, Morton had replaced Roger Staubach, who was slightly injured on a six-yard scamper for a first down. On the last play of the halfj Chester Marcol of Hillsdale College attempted a 68-yard free-kick field goal after Darden made a fair catch on his own 32.

Veteran quarterback Craig Morton replaced shaken Roger Staubach in the second quarter Friday night and hurled two touchdown passes to steer the world champion Dallas Cowboys to a 20-7 victory over the College All-Stars. Heisman Trophy winner Pat Sullivan of Auburn entered the game in the fourth period and moved the Stars 80 yards in 16 plays for their only touchdown. Sullivan hit five of eight passes in the drive, with the key a 13-yard fourth-down toss to Villanova's Mike Siani that put the ball on the Dallas one-yard line.

Robert Newhouse of Houston, who will join Dallas today, dove over for the touchdown with 7:25 left in the game. 76ers Get Block In Jones Deal By MARK HEISLER Of The Inquirer Staff All of you who have been waiting to see what the 76ers would get from Milwaukee for Wally Jones can relax. It's John Block. Doesn't that make you feel better? The 76ers made the announcement Friday. The 76ers got Block, a second-round choice in the 1973 college draft, and the ever-popular "undisclosed amount of cash." The 76ers, who struggled through the entire 1971-72 season with shaky guards, got rid of Jones last Dec.

14 because they didn't want to pay the $90,000 or so a year it would cost to sign him. Now, with Billy Cunningham gone to the ABA Cougars, the 76ers have a front line which is every bit as bad as the guards. Enter John Block. BLOCK IS LISTED at 6-10 and is a fine long-range shooter. He is an average rebounder and not that good as defensive player.

Block played at Southern Cal, then was drafted on the second round by the Lakers in 1966. In his rookie year he distinguished himself by becoming one of three Lakers who joined in a losing fight with the Knicks' Willis Reed. Block suffered a broken jaw. The next season Block was in San Diego, courtesy of the expansion draft. He was a Rocket for three seasons, averaging 20.2, 15.3 and 14.5 points a game.

LAST SEASON he was traded to the Bucks for center Dick Cunningham. For a while, Block was the No. 3 forward. By the end of the season he shared that role with Toby Kimball. The 76ers, who have a way of doing things slowly (two years ago they spent an entire summer choosing Don De-Jardin to be general manager; this summer it took four months to find a coach, Roy Rubin) outdid themselves in this transaction.

It took seven months and two weeks to get a body to replace that of Wally Wonder. Bobby Unser Pocono Choice 6 'Hi Bobby Unser BASEBALL 2:15 P. M. St. Louis at Chicago, Ch.

Dear Bill, 'I Feel You and Tim Are Absolutely Right' Best Wishes, Youy Dad By BILL SIMMONS Of The Inq lirer Staff LONG POND, Pa. One might think that Pocono International Raceway had used up its share of controversy and then some when the Schaefer 500-mile race was postponed in the wake of tropical storm Agnes last One might be wrong.

The second annual Eastern Jewel in the Triple Crown of Auto Racing will begin at 1:30 P.M. today as the first half of the 1,000 Miles of Pocono, while the beating of gums and gnashing of teeth continues over Sunday's second half the Pennsylvania 500 for late-mod jl stock cars. The most controversial question surrounding today's race is: Will Bobby Un-ser's superfast Olsonitc-Eagle-Offenhauser stay together long enough to win the third-richest event in motor sports. The 38-year-old Umer from Albuquerque, N. blitzed the Indy-car field with a 10-lap qualifying spted of 189.473 miles per hour, his eighth straight pole-winning record in United States Auto Club competition.

AS HE HAS BEEN at just about every race over the last two years, Bobby is the odds-on favorite to grab the $100,000 winner's share of the purse. But the hard fact is that as fast as his car is, its reliability is questionable. Bobby has won only four races, the longest being last September's Trenton 300, despite 15 corsecutive front-row starts. His problem, for the most part, has been engine failure, despite an extensive development program. "We have had more than our share of problems with engines," admitted Unser's team manager and car builder, Dan Gur-ney.

"We think we are getting as much power from the engine as possible and when you're running near or at the limit, any problem is bound to be magnified." Bobby is 2-for-5 this year, winning 150-milers at Phoenix in March and Milwaukee in June. A broken fuel injector dropped him to 17th at Trenton in April while a broken oil line placed him 14th at Michigan two weeks ago. And it was a $6 distributor rotor that forced Bobby to watch Mark Donohue win the biggest race of them all tne Indianapolis 500 while he finished 30th. BUT, AS EVERYONE of the other 32 drivers in today's field will admit, perhaps only to themselves, the Schaefer 500 is Bobby Unser's race for as long as his car stays together. The sentimental favorite here, despite his feud with track manangement, is Mario Andretti, who is commuting from his Nazareth home, some 30 miles to the south.

Mario, who will start his Viceroy-Par-nelli-Offy from the outside of the front row, blasted raceway chairman of the board Dr. Joseph Mattioli, saying he had been used as nothing more than a puppet in his role as a member of the board of directors. Mario resigned from that position two weeks ago. But Andretti, the 1969 Indianapolis 500 winner and three-time United States Auto Club national champion, has a lot more on his mind today like his first national championship victory since June 28, 1970, when he won a 150-mile road race at Castle Rock.

The father of all-pro safety Bill Bradley predicted Friday his son "will hold out forever" with linebacker Tim Rossovich in their joint contract dispute with the Eagles. J. H. Bradley, contacted at his home in Palestine, said he felt the two free-spirited players were justified in bargaining together for better contracts. "I feel Bill and Tim are absolutely right," said Bradley, a chief dispatcher for the Missouri Pacific Railroad "Why? Because they have proven their ability and should be worth more money.

"I don't know what the Eagles think they can get talent for. If he and Rossovich and their agents entered into any agreement, Bill will hold out forever. If he has given Rossovich his word, he will keep it." BRADLEY'S FATHER said to be $200, for each day of practice they miss. "It's up to Bill's agent," he said. "I wouldn't interfere.

I know one thing: They are making a mistake the Eagles are." THE FATHER said his son helped remodel the Bradley home during the early summer months. "He would work all day as a carpenter," the elder Bradley said. "The minute he would drop his tools, without even coming in the house, he would start running. I've seen him run five or six miles a day. He was in the best shape, he's ever been in physically.

"When he left here, Bill told me he was going to Philadelphia and would probably call me from Reading. I have talked to him one time since then. He called and told me he had gotten there. "I don't suppose that business is over hair, do you?" Bradley suggested. ASKED HOW his son felt about having his long, curly locks and beard trimmed in deference to the club's rule against the bushy look, Bradley twisted the question.

"Why don't you ask me how I feel," he snapped. "I don't care what they think of long hair in Russia, Germany or any other country. As long as Bill keeps himself clean and has the morals Bill has, I don't care if it grows down to his ankles. "But it's for money, I imagine," Bradley's father added. "If he doesn't get it this year, I don't know when he will.

It's his best chance to get a good salary." Bradley's father said he had Continued on Page 24, Column 7 Bill Bradley he first read of the twin holdout in a Tyler, newspaper "and I was kind of glad-because with talent like that, two men together makes them more valuable than one. "I can't quite see how the Eagles can let both of these guys go. Both of them are defensive leaders." Bradley's father indicated he would not interfere in the twin holdout, now in its 13th day. Both Rossovich and Bradley are being fined an undisclosed amount, believed.
