Pege 56frJrExatriinrr Wed Sept. 16, 1970 Shuffle Haiders 'ancy Double PEfiESCOTT By Bucky Walter Examiner Sport Writer It would take a Philadelphia lawyer and two assistants, at least one from Outer Mongolia, to figure how the Oakland Raiders will shuffle their personnel for Sunday's league opener at Cincinnati. No wonder Big John Madden walked around yesterday like a guy befuddled in a fog. For starters, there were four faces missing at the workout. They belonged, left to right, to nine-year veteran Howie Williams, second-year men Lloyd Edwards and Jackie Allen and rookie Art Laster from Maryland State.

Later, the Raiders announced that Buffalo had claimed Laster and Allen. Edwards and Williams thus join veter- aus George Blanda, Wayne Hawkins and .41 Dotson to form a five-man floating crap game. Or something. Blanda, Hawkins and Dotson were unclaimed when placed on aivers at cutdown time last week. The nub of Madden's problem is that by tomorrow he must designate a 40-man official roster plus a taxi squad of seven.

Complications immediately become apparent. For instance, there is a list of injured, starting with broken-armed Dan Conners. Marv Hubbard, Duane Benson, Pete Banazak, Rod Sherman and Fred Bil-etnikoff are possible participants Sunday at Cincinnati, yet Madden has adopted a wait-and-see attitude. Tight-end Ray Chester. No.

1 draft choice from Morgan State, apparently is ready to play for the first time since the Rams' game. You've followed us so far. But the plot thickens. There's a cruel little gimmick. Only 10 individual "moves" can be made during the season in shuttling guys between the official 40 and the seven taximen, injuries involved or not.

This makes it a fine kettle of succotash. Obviously, Madden has to be chary about using up his "moves" this early. Another thing: Veteran tight end Jacque MacKinnon, signed as a free agent after declining to play at Green Bay, is a candidate for activation after working oiit two weeks with Oakland. It was a mild surprise when the Raiders put Edwards, starting tight end in the last two games, up for waivers. It was even more a surprise when no one claimed the big fellow.

MacKinnon is a possible starter against Cincinnati if activated. Rookie Chester is inexperienced and, besides, hasn't prac- ticed for three weeks. Another callow 1 rookie, Ted Koy, the Texas fullback, has been working out at tight end. And then the Raiders still have Edwards. Well, there you have some of the prob-1 lems involved.

There are many others. All that Is for sure is that Laster and Allen now are with the Buffalo Bills, who obviously need help. Big John Madden's last words yesterday were: "WTe'll do what we have to do. We won't reach decisions until Thursday." Now you don't have' to wonder any longer why pro football coaches make the big money. Decisions, decisions.

It's an ulcer job. Big Changes for Cowboys Roger Staubach Starts Austin Sizes Up His 'Skins Examiner News Services couple of things in Richardson's favor at Miami. He'll be playing again for his old Baltimore coach, Don Simla, and the Dolphins also feature the explosive Paul Warfield at wide receiver. The added pressure Warfield puts on de From Page 55 stayed in there and straightened things out." Austin went down the line, naming individual players who have been- outstanding this preseason. Former 49er Walter Rock, an eight-year veteran, was described as a fine offensive tackle if not the most agile person in the world.

He had a difficult time with Bubba Smith of Baltimore Saturday night but proved he can go against the Jx Morton again could not find himself in the first half. Staubach finished with 10 completions in 20 attempts for 142 yards and one touchdown. Homan was the club's leading receiver during the preseason. In other developments: Pity Willie Richardson. The former star pass receiver has gone from star to castoff in less than a week.

Three weeks ago Baltimore traded Richardson, considered the Colts' top flanker, to Pittsburgh for Roy Jefferson. Richardson couldn't even crack the Steelers' starting lineup. Yesterday, Dallas regulars Craig Morton and Bob Hayes will be watching from the bench Sunday when the Cowboys take on Philadelphia in their 1970 league opener. Former Navy star Roger Staubach wiy start for Morton at quarterback and Dennis Homan, Dallas' No. 1 pick from Alabama in 1968, has been named to play at splitend instead of Hayes.

"Craig is in a slump," Coach Tom Landry explained. "And Roger's been throwing good. We'll just keep working with Craig in practice and see if he can work it out." Staubach Hot were defensive backs Tom Schoen, and Dean Brown and running back Charley Leigh. NEW YORK JETS Dropped defensive back Cecil Leonard and offensive tackle Paul Seiler and accepted the retirement of wide receiver Bake -Turner, who plans to pursue a singing career in New York. LOS ANGELES Cleared waivers: end Greg Schumacher, running back Jeff Jordan, defensive tackle Lane Howell and defensive end Clark Miller.

DETROIT Announced running back Steve Owens would be kept out of action for at least eight weeks after undergoing surgery on his shoulder yesterday. Placed en waivers: linebacker Tom Nowatzke, guard Rocky Rasley. defensive tackle Oava Haverdick and linebacker Ken Geddes. HOUSTON Cut quarterback Bob Naponic, defensive end Charles Blossom, running back Bill Dusenbery and wide receiver Paul Zaeske. MINNESOTA Cut linebacker Mike McCaffrey, wide receiver Gayio Knief, quarterback Kent Nix and defensive back Tom Brown.

NEW. ORLEANS Put on the reserve list: linebackers Gary Klahr and Greg Cureton, defensive tackle Mike Rengel and defensive back Glenn Canno. Removed from i-Glenn Cannon. Removed from in-and Harold Hays and safety Mel Eas-ley. Acquired running back Claxton v.elch on waivers from Dallas.

BALTIMORE Waived running backs Roland Moss and Terry Cole, tight end Ara Person and linebacker Li ck Palmer. fenders may help Richard-son's effectiveness, or so Shula hopes. In other roster manipulations yesterday, Philadelphia asked for irrevocable waivers on George Mira, a seven-year veteran quarterback. The Eagles also dropped safety Bob Burris, Guard Bob Parker, tackle Mike Dirks and running back John Land. Defensive back Ben Davis, a regular until slowed by a leg injury last year, was among four players dropped by Cleveland.

Others cut SONNY JURGENSEN Praised by coach waivers: linebacker Carter Campbell of Weber State, wide receiver Leo Johnson of Tennessee State, and corner-back Johnny Woitt of Mississippi State. Coach Dick Nolan said he hoped to place Campbell and Johnson on the taxi squad if they pass waiv- best and come out with a creditable performance. Of Jerry Smith, a native of Oakland and everybody's all-pro last year as a tight end. Austin said: "I dont think you can say Pittsburgh dealt Richardson The Goal Is Money It was only a matter of time until the Women's Liberation movement got around to tennis and now it has happened. The female tennisers are on the march, brandishing their racquets and shrilling their demands for.

parity or something approximating it with their male counterparts. That is to say they want more money. Not necessarily as much money as the men command, but a lot more of it than they've been getting. We're for giving -it to them. The present division of the spoil is a bit unbalanced.

In the U.S. Open last week at Forest Hills, first place was worth $20,000 for the men and only $7500 for the women. Thus, the difference amounted to $12,500. Wouldn't you think the melon should have been sliced closer to the middle than that? In our book, the least they might have done was make the ladies' prize $7,500.98 so that it would have looked gpod. y.

The ladies add considerably to any tournament. Because their skirts are shorter this is truer tqday than ever before. Shapely legs, and some of the girls have them, are always an attraction. Still, for the tennis buff, the men's final is the msin event. Parity seeking females aren't going to change that They are incapable of that kind of tennis.

They lack the speed for it. Oh, the better ones play very well. Watching thje action at Forest Hills on TV we thought Australia's Margaret Smith Court, the winner, was great. Just great. A large woman, she hit the ball with force.

Ypu certainly would have felt it had she bounced a cjrehand drive off your head. We were amazed by her control, her deft stroking, her variety of shots. Yet, as we were to realize later in the telecast when the men finalists came on screen, the greatness of the performance was relative to her sex. The guys did it better. The winner, little Ken Rosewall, also from Australia and remarkably spry at 35, returned sljots the ladies couldn't have touched.

Had it been a mixed match, Mrs. Court probably wouldn't have tajtenagame. We'd sooner we hadn't drawn the comparison. It; won't help at home and, having complained of tlje orange juice being on the bitter side, we are not in the best of favor as it is. However, there's no stopping now.

As a sympathizer with the Women's Liberation thing we must caution the leaders thereof against pressing ittoo far in the field of competitive sports. They're entitled to a better shake, but they're not about to get it all. Even in the gentle pursuits, among which golf is an outstanding example, the barriers of muscle are insurmountable. Only recently, tall Carol Mann, top money wmner on the Ladies' PGA circuit last year, unwisely attempted a break-through on her own. Without consulting us, the poor girl arranged a showdown match with skinny Doug Sanders.

The result was a disaster. We don't know but what it set the cause of feminine equality back 40 years. to Miami for a high 1971 draft choice.

He can go deep as well as any tight end, he has a sure pair of hands. He can run with the ball and he has tremendous desire. I wish we had 40 football players like him." Austin's words of praise covered a score of other standouts, including all-pro linebacker Chris Hanburger, place-kicker Curt Knight (46 points), cornerback Alike Bass (4 interceptions), defensive stars Bruce Anderson and Leo Carroll at ends, and Bill Brundige and Floyd Peters at tackles. Also high on the list of raves were linebackers Harold i and Marlin McKeever, and deep backs Pat Fischer, Mike Bass, Brig Owens and Rickie Harris.

Conditions were far from ideal for Miss Mann's game. But, then, again she wasn't playing a big belter like Jack Nicklaus. Miss Mann's winnings in 1969 totalled On the men's tour no fewer than 40 pros topped that figure, 11 of them winning anywhere from $102,702 (Geroge Archer) to $175,223 (Frank Beard). This year, Bobby Nichols won $60,000 in a single event the Dow Jones Open. The heavy dough is there for the men because their act has drawing power.
