But even with the Saturday night fray with Boston's Patriots (in Anaheim as first game of a double-header) three days off there was speculation about Rauch's number three quarterback getting into the spotlight.

Charlie Green's the name and the onetime Wittenberg figures to be handed with his greatest opportunity since joining the Raiders after a trade with Boston. GOOD IN PRACTICE Green has done all Rauch has asked in practice, but saw only a flash of action in the first preseasoner against Houston. Not enough for judgment and all juries are still out. The chances are Green will claimed he and a crew re go Chargers in the second moved, "what seemed like a ton of weeds from the road I if 4 4 a.viiiiitiiniiitiiiatiiartriiiwaiawiwWiiifriirr jj ri Mmf if-mrnmim miiijnwuii i linnwimii 1 I'ktf I A 4 I 1 I "i I 1 I I 'VV' game.

It was a question of which two Raiders would be given for Gilchrist. Tackle Dave Costa and guard Marv Mari-novich were regarded hot prospects for the trade although the Raiders were not saying.

One of the veterans trimmed was back Pete Ja-quess, who came to San Diego from Houston in the Ernie Ladd trade. DOLPHINS Punter Phil Scoggin. who was averaging 41.3 yards per kick in two exhibition games, was lopped off the roster.

His punts were long enough but too low and the opponents were making too many long runbacks. Pittsburg, is far from being a road racing course. The undulating surface is so poor many first rate cars will not enter the meet. The same can be said for the Port of Stockton area. Sponsors of the races have good intentions and the charity events are for righteous causes, but prime machinery has shunned both for the past two years.

Loren Hawley, split end from University of California, was one to go and the others were offense among the NCAA's college division men. "Green isn't with us just to be strictly a reserve man," Rauch recently explained. "Sure he's insurance but he came to our club with a fine reputation as a passer.

He has the potential to become a strong quarterback in this league. Whether Green gets the back this year. Coach Mike Holovak expects to settle on one as a more or less permanent starter soon now, so both will get the test against the Raiders.

Steelcrs Lose Peaks After Mishap SALEM (Ore.) (AP) -Fullback Clarence Peaks of Pittsburgh Steelers is a casualty again. He suffered a recurrence of a back injury yesterday in a blistering 48-minute scrimmage at the team's temporary training camp at Willamette University.

Dr. John Best, team physician, said the former Michigan star will be sidelined for at least three weeks. Coach Bill Austin scheduled the rough workout, unusual for this late in the training season, apparently because of the National Football League team's lackluster performance in last Saturday's exhibition game with the Minnesota Vikings. The scrimmage was interrupted by a fight among guard Mike Sandusky, tackle Ken Kortas, end Tony Jeter and defensive halfback Jim Bradshaw. Muaa.
