Eight more free agents were cut. No. 11 draft choice. Raadell Webster, the linebacker from Southwest Oklahoma who deserted camp, returned. Guard Charley Haaaah is still holding ouL "No progress." says Raider assistant Steve Ortraayer, who is handling negotiations.

Cart Marsh, who'd just been bumped up to the starting right guard, has moved to Hannah's left guard spot and Mickey Mania is back at right guard. During one drill Friday, quarterback coach Karry "I was there 10 years, through the good times. Now they're nit-picking about everything. Everything is crucial. You can't just think about football.

"The linebackers were supposed to be the solid unit on the defense. Last year, they brought in some new defensive linemen and some new people in the secondary, and the defense didn't improve. So obviously, it was the linebackers' fauH. They cut Mike Green. They got rid of me.

I imagine it's just a matter of time before they get rid of Woodrow Lowe." OXNARD Linebacker Linden King, the longtime San Diego Charger mainstay, became a Raider Friday. The Raiders are up to their hip pads in linebackers Jerry Robinson, an All-Pro. was a reserve last season but liked the way King played against them and wanted to see him up close and personal. King, 31. was recently waived by the Chargers, who are not nearly as deep in linebackers.

Coach Don Coryell, a staunch defender of players, said that he'd been satisfied with only one linebacker last season, Billy Ray Smith. King, however, had started the last 73 games in San Diego. He thinks his salary $350,000 and political considerations got him. "They had a man in the organi zation who was very critical of some of the people he'd brought in." King said. "He was doing it openly in the papers.

I made some statements about that He was the one who had brought him there. Then when they didn't play to Super Bowl level, he criticized them." King didn't want to identify the man, but it was scouting director Ron Nay, an adviser to the new Charger owner. Alex Spanos. This spring. King had a bursa sac surgically removed from his right knee.

He also was shifted to inside linebacker, with Smith taking his job. "Then after they cut me, they moved Billy Ray back inside," King said. "It's musical chairs down there.

But even better for the Rams, 142 season tickets were sold, according to Donovan. The Morris Brown College coaches have been in the Rams' training camp this week, continuing a National Football League program of summer seminars with coaching staffs from black schools. The coaches were especially interested in quarterback Steve Bartkowski. Morris Brown is in Atlanta, where Bartkowski spent 11 seasons with the Falcons. "We came all the way out here to see Bartkowski," said one of the coaches.

"He's still got it," said Morris Brown head Coach Greg Thompson. "He didn't have good receivers down there the last couple of years, but he's got some now."

"I just don't like to lose. It was never like I was the fastest man in football, just one of the fastest. "And it wasn't so much me losing the race as much as it was that I didn't prepare for it as I should have. That's what really bothers me. If I do the best I can and still lose, that's fine, but I didn't and that's what I'm upset about."

i Competition often brings out the best in an athlete. The other day in practice. Brock completed a long, I arching pass to Bobby Duckworth, who caught the ball in stride and ran away from Pro Bowl corner- back LeRoy Irvin. Brock let out a yelp and shot one fist in the air. Irvin said: "I'll let him have one." Coach John Robison on corner- back Jerry Gray, who is playing in place of the injured Gary Green: "He's not on a level with the other corner Irvin, but he's a good, young corner.

He's a little like wide receiver Ron Brown. They have a lot of talent and natural ability, but there are a lot of little things they have to learn." Gray, who played safety at Tex- I as, was the Rams' first-round draft i choice last year. He wasn't expect- ed to become a starter this soon, especially since he is learning a new position. "There's no alternative," Robinson said. "He's the starting pitcher without relief help." Green will be out indefinitely with a neck problem.

"If the league had stayed in the spring, it would still be playing. It was good football. "I feel real bad for the coaches and players. It was more jobs for everybody. That's the worst part of it.

This time of year you can't get a job.

Coury, who also formerly coached at Mater Dei High School, has finally sold his house in Portland and has been rejoined by his wife Bonnie. They will lease a house in Fullerton until deciding where to buy. "When we left here 14 years ago, we sold our house for $40,000," he said.

"Right now it's worth $195,000." Last spring's "NFL Fastest Man" contest in Palm Desert the one Ron Brown was supposed to win will be shown on Channel 4 as part of "Sportsworld" at 1 p.m. Sunday. Washington Redskin defensive back Darrell Green won by beating Brown in the semifinals and the Bears' Willie Gault in the final. Brown, an Olympic gold medalist in the sprint relay, wants a rematch. He apparently didn't take it seriously enough.

"I'm looking forward to running it again," he said. "They worked at it, and even if they worked at it I didn't think they'd run that fast.

Incumbent kicker Mike Lansford must still compete with rookie Steve Jordan, but Pro Bowl punter Dale Hatcher's only competition, Scott Leet from San Francisco State, was released before Hatcher even arrived. Lansford said: "It's good to have competition and somebody else to take the load in training camp."

The eight-year pro from Stanford might have improved his long-shot chances of becoming the Rams' starting quarterback by completing 15 of 26 passes against the Chargers, including a long touchdown to Brown. "I'm real happy with the way I played," Dils said Friday. "We were going against their top corners, and I'm pretty sure it was their top linebackers."
