8 The Montana Standard, Butte, Tuesday, November 81983 Sports mark NFkcampialgh rback shuwles Plunkett "I felt pretty good out there. Fresh legs, fresh arms, no bumps and bruises. I was just happy to step in and get the job done. "It's my job to be ready when I'm needed just like when I start and Marc comes in for me." The Raiders are 7-3 and hold a one-game lead over Denver and Seattle in the American Conference West going into next Sunday's game against Elway and the visiting Broncos. "I wanted to finish the game, but I could barely grip the ball and I knew it was something serious," DeBerg said following the Broncos' loss.

And Elway said: "It's too bad about Steve. It's on my shoulders now." The million-dollar rookie said spending a month on the sideline made it easier for him to take over when DeBerg was hurt, that he was far more relaxed than he had been earlier in the season. "The difference was like ntrrht- onI Aav T'vA haH fnnr mnra wmW it wnrlr with Pittsburgh Steelers, Dan Fouts of the San Diego Chargers, Ken Anderson of the Cincinnati Bengals, Ken Stabler of the New Orleans Saints and both Phil Simms and Jeff Rutledge of the New York Giants. A number of other starting quarterbacks besides Plunkett and DeBerg have been demoted due to lack of performance, among them David Woodley in Miami, Jim Zorn in Seattle, Jim McMahon In Chicago, Jerry Golsteyn in Tampa Bay and Archie Manning in Houston. Woodley was replaced by rookie Dan Marino, Dave Krieg took over for Zorn, McMahon lost his job to Vince Evans and then got it back, Golsteyn gave way to Jack Thompson and Manning wwas traded to Minnesota and replaced by Gifford Nielsen.

On Sunday, Nielson was yanked and his replacement, Oliver Luck, will get his first pro start next Sunday against Detroit. Plunkett, who became a hero during 1980 when he took over for injured Dan Pastorini in the fifth game of the season and guided the Raiders to a Super Bowl triumph, said there were disadvantages and benefits to being sidelined. "It's a little tough sitting on the bench." said By Bruce Lowltt, AP Sport Writer Marc Wilson and Steve DeBerg, riding the bench at 'the start of the National Football League season, are back on the bench again, the latest victims in a series of injuries to starting quarterbacks. Wilson, who throws right-handed, was handed the Los Angeles Raiders' starting job three weeks ago when Jim Plunkett faltered. He beat previously unbeaten Dallas, was beaten by Seattle, then suffered a broken left shoulder Sunday in Kansas City.

Plunkett took over and guided the Raiders to a 28-20 victory. DeBerg lost his job to highly publicized John Elway during Denver's training camp. But Elway, the No. 1 choice in the NFL draft, failed to live up to his advance billing. After five games, DeBerg finally was given the starting role again.

The Broncos then won four in a row. But Sunday in Seattle, DeBerg, also a right-hander, sustained a separated left shoulder. Like Wilson, DeBerg is expected to be out about six weeks, the remainder of the regular season. Unlike Plunkett, Elway couldn't rally his team, the Broncos losing 27-19 to the Seahawks. Two other quarterbacks also went down Sunday, but with apparently less severe injuries.

Steve Dils, who became Minnesota's starting quarterback when Tommy Kramer suffered torn knee ligaments against Tampa Bay in the season's third game, had to leave Sunday's 17-12 loss to the previously winless Buccaneers after taking some hard nits to the head in the last minute. "He was really disoriented," said Vikings Coach Bud Grant. "He couldn't remember anything." Dils was hospitalized for observation. It was not immediately known whether he would miss next Sunday game against visiting Green Bay; And Cleveland's Paul McDonald, who took over from arm-weary Brian Sipe a couple of weeks ago, suffered a jammed right thumb against Green Bay. Sipe came on and threw two late touchdown passes but the Browns were beaten by the Packers 35-21.

Among the other quarterbacks who have missed all or part of this year due to injury are Terry Bradshaw of the our offense and I think that built my confidence Not starting took 5,000 pounds off my back. Now, I have a new perspective." wonted in bosebdl sfear market Jerry Koosrhan (14) at uioejo rtem Rich (Goosei Gossage (1).

Peters of the Orioles, who won the World Series with their time-proven mix of homegrown talent and parsimonious trade acquisitions. "We will adhere to our policy, which has been very consistent.

We have no magic formula." The Orioles selected negotiating rights to seven players, including Evans. The New York Mets and ivons NEW YORK (AP) -Darrell Evans, the San Francisco Giants free-agent infielder, was the No. 1 pick Monday in baseball's re-entry draft, being chosen by 17 teams in a selection process that several clubs said was becoming less important to building a winner. ine BammoreJrioies had a lot to do with this," New York Yankees' General Manager Murray Cook. said.

"Their winning the American League pennant had a profound effect on the approach of a lot of teams. They're going more with their farm system and away from free agency." The Yankees, a recent big dealer in the free-agent market, made only one selection in the free-agent draft. That was Evans, whom they picked in the second round. In fact, 29 of the 45 available free agents were picked by fewer than four teams, meaning they can igotiatewith they want.

Two players, pitcher Dan Schatzeder of Montreal and first baseman-outfielder Dennis Walling of Houston, were chosen by eight teams. Six players pitchers Jerry Koosman of the Chicago White Sox, Frank LaCorte of Houston, Lary Sorensen of Cleveland and Milt Wilcox of Detroit; outfielder Oscar Gamble of the Yankees, and utilityman Derrell Thomas of Los Angeles were chosen by seven teams.

Thomas was one of only two players whose negotiating rights were not retained by his former club. The other was outfielder Gene Richards of San Diego. In a move that might signal the breaking of another precedent, the California Angels retained the rights to their free agent, Rod Carew. And, it appeared, the Angels might be the only club interested in the 38-year-old seven-time American League batting champion pX 'jt b. KENT TEKULVE since he was riot selected by any club in the draft.

Some other 'top names also received little attention. Infielder Manny Trillo of Montreal was selected only once, and outfielder Dave Parker of Pittsburgh and catcher Ted Simmons of Milwaukee were picked by only two teams each. "I think clubs are getting more selective," San Diego General Manager Jack McKeon said. 'They're looking for players who fit specific needs. They're not drafting a Carew for Carew's sake.

They're looking deeper into GOOSE GOSSAGE would not return to the Yankees unless owner George Steinbrenner fired Manager Billy Martin were untrue. "In our meeting a week ago Monday in San Diego' Kapstein said, "the first thing Steinbrenner said before our discussion was, i want you to know that I have told everyone that at no time has either Gossage or Kapstein demanded the firing of Martin and, as a matter of fact, at no time has Kapstein ever criticized Cook said: "Sure they (Gossage and Martin) have had their disagreements, "People have had bad experiences with free agents," said Mets General Manager Frank Cashen. "I guess overall only the Yankees have prospered. Our fans have suffered with us while we were developing a team for years. I see no reason to make cosmetic changes now.

After Evans, the next two most popular picks in the draft were relief pitchers. Kent Tekulve of the Pittsburgh Pirates was chosen by 12 teams, and Rich Gossage of the Yankees was selected 11 times. The Pirates and Yankees each retained the right to negotiate with Tekulve and Gossage, respectively, as did San Francisco with Evans. Agent Jerry Kapstein of San Diego represents two of the top three picks, Evans and Kapstein said neither player had expressed a desire to be with a specific club, and neither had ruled out the possibility of returning to his former club.

The victory evened the Lions' record at 5-5 and pulled them into a second-place tie with Green Bay in the NFC Lenirai uivision, one game behind Minnesota. Sims' two-yard touchdown tied a club record of 38 held by former Lion great Terry Barr. Sims scored the touchdown at 13:44 of the first quarter, giving the Lions a 7-3 lead. He set up the score with a 37-yard run on a third-and-five situation from the New York 39. On a second-and-eight on the Giants 10 in the second quarter, running back Butch Woolfolk fumbled the ball into the end zone when his arm was hit by defensive tackle Doug English.

Giants center Rich Umphrey fell on the ball in the end zone and was tackled by Mike Fanning for the safety, giving Detroit a 12-3 lead.

"I am fighting just for the fourth title," Duran said Monday. He feels that when he beat Davey Moore for the World Boxing Association junior middleweight title last June 16, he had redeemed himself for quitting in the eighth round against Sugar Ray Leonard in their World Boxing Council welterweight title rematch Nov. 25, 1980. Many people turned away from Duran after the Leonard fight, but he was given a hero's welcome on his return to his native Panama after stopping Moore in the eighth round in New York's Madison Square Garden. That victory made him the seventh fighter to win three titles.

No one has won four. His workouts here for Thursday night's 15-round fight at Caesars Palace have been attended by large groups. The fighter they have seen is one who appears to be in top physical and mental condition, a fighter who is confident, but not arrogant. "I feel I'm more mature now that I was five years ago," said Duran, who also was lightweight champion for most of the 1970s and welterweight champion in 1980. "I've learned a lot from people and the press." Both Duran and Hagler have handled the pressure of preparing for each other and dealing with the media with patience and touches of humor.

When Bo Derek, the star of the sex comedy film "10," accompanied by her husband, John, attended one of his workouts, Duran was asked what he thought of her.
