"At Green Bay, veterans failed to pass their physicals, but only two have failed to show. Coach Dan Devine said defensive lineman Carle ton Oats, kick returner Ike; Williams and defensive back Bob Kroll were waived after failing their physicals.

The.49ers traded Vic Washington after the 5-10, 196-pound running back, who had crossed the picket line of the Players Assn. during the strike, ran into trouble with coach Dick Nolan.

Washington, who joined the 49ers in 1971 after three seasons in Ca--nadian football and gained 1813 yards rushing, caught 112 passes for 949 yards and scored 17 touchdowns, went to the Oilers fn exchange for the No. 1 draft choice in 1976 and a third round pick in 1977.

"The heated feeling is only natural," said Douglas. "Some guys came in, some guys didn't. It will be tough not to have heated feelings at first The thing I found out in a situation like this, is that grudges usually evaporate. If they don't the team doesn't function and management gets rid of them." Tucker refused to com- RED SOX TONIGHT 7:30 P.M.' TWINS MINNESOTA: SUN. 2:00 P.M.

ft But Brian's hopes of escaping to the New York Stars of the rival World Football League were set back when the San Diego Chargers placed a claim on him blocking his immediate exit. If the Chargers and all the other NFL teams had passed on him, Dowling would have been free to join the Stars. A month ago Dowling signed a long-term contract with the Stars to commence when he finished his current contract with the" Patriots which runs through May of 1976. There had been a report that the Patriots had made a deal with the Stars to let Dowling go on waivers, if the New York team would cease negotiating with Patriots defensive tackle Julius Adams. "That's not true," said Patriots head coach Chuck Fairbanks, "I never talked with anyone from the other league about that." When asked why he waited so long to let Dowling go, Fairbanks answered: "last Winter Brian came to me and asked to be traded.

At the time we couldn't make a trade for him. "Then after he signed with the other league he asked to be released. I didn't do it at that time for several reasons. One, I wasn't going to help the other league. Two, it wasn't in the best interests of our team.

And next, I didn't know if we had anyone who could take his place as a backup quarterback." Dowling came to camp with the rest of the striking Patriots' veterans Wednesday, but was placed on waivers hours later when it was apparent he was still unhappy. San Diego's claim -came as a surprise since the Chargers had two young quarterbacks, Dan Fouts and Jesse Frietas, a high draft choice from San Diego State. The Patriots still have 24 hours to reclaim Dowling, but it is doubtful that they will even though they will try to make some type of deal with the Chargers for his rights. The Jets decided to leave 19 players in camp when they make their annual trip to New Haven to take on the Giants. Included among the 19 are quarterback Joe Namath, mid- die linebacker Al Atkinson, running backs Emerson Boozer and John Rig-gins and tackle Winston HilL Most of the veterans reported to camp in what coaches described as "surprisingly good shape." Denver coach John Ralston, surprised at how well the Bronco veterans responded to the first workout, said, "I was skeptical they wouldn't come in from the strike in real good shape.

When they work out under their own guidance you wonder, but overall I was very surprised."
