lO pirjiSE. i By Battle, Parker Top 13 Cut by Jets, Giants By Norm Miller GENE WARD son to be back for the regular-season opener at Green Bay the following Sunday. Dallas, Sept. 7 (UPI) The Dalles Cowboys cut quarterback Steve Goepel of Colgate, tight end John Nelson of Oklahoma City, tackle Bill Griffin of Catawba and linebacker Ron Kad-ziel of Stanford from their squad today. The cuts reduced the club to 43 players, three of whom also must go.

Coach Tom Landry announced he would start Roger Staubach at quarterback in the Cowboys' last preseason game Saturday night against Kansas City up on waivers by other teams. It's likely the Giants will have a new face or two this week. PRESSED BY newsmen to pinpoint what was ailing the Giants, Webster expressed his bewilderment. He agreed that despite injuries and the early disruption of this year's camp, the team should have been capable of something better than last Saturday's wretched 30-7 loss to the Browns. The coach said he thought Scott Eaton and Bob Tucker, injured in Cleveland, had a 50-50 chance of being ready for Sunday's game here against the Steelers, though he was not counting on Ron John in The Quarterbacks Alonir about this time of year, with the pros having virtually completed their preseason calisthenics, one begins hearing the stock alibis of the losers.

BKSIDK BATTLE, three Jets rookies cleared waivers, some to be kept for the taxi squad at Weeb Ewbank's discretion. They are John Eggold, linebacker-defensive lineman.

No. 13 draft pick; Dan Dyches, center, and So. 15 draftee; and Jim Williams, a defensive back from last year's taxi squad. Two other Jets were waived as injured, meaning they can be reactivated after two games have been played. They were Vernon Studdard.

pass-catcher, kick return specialist and No. 11 draf. pick, and Dale Graham, a free agent guard. Aside from Parker, the five Giants released were: Phil Odle, pass-catcher claimed from the Lions a few weeks ago; guard Steve Alexakos, former Bronco who spent two days in the Jets' camp; linebacker Jim Tyler and offensive tackle Dick Hanson, both signed as free agents; and defensive back John Shinall, from last year's taxi squad. KWBAXK HAD expected a nibble from some other AFC club for Battle, who led the Jets in punt and kickoff returns the last two seasons.

The zany 175-pound safetyman wowed Jets fans in his rookie season by running back a punt 86 yards to a touchdown against the Giants in Yale Bowl. Battle lost out to rookies Chris Farasopoulos and Phil Wise in the competition for runback and safetyman jobs. Parker, who never played college football, spent two years on the Giants' taxi squad before catching on with the varsity last season. He started several games at left cornerback but did not show significant improvement during this pre-season. These cuts left both clubs one below the required limit of 44 players.

Webster said he had put in claims for a few players put n.p.d. Giant. els Are Cioiiiii Nouhere There have been clubs which have bt-en preseason duds; and then suddenly came alive when starting to play keeps. It hannens. but n-t often.

The iate Vince Lombardi was a jrreat in nimerttiim and always held that a team which rot into tht- losing habit before the campaign wasn't likely to kick it alter it started. The Giants are 0-5 and the Jets 1-4. and, no matter what the reasons, if will take a supreme optimist to presage anything but finishes for either of them, particularly the Giants. They have their f-est Quarterback running the offense, and it stl'l has been Disasurville. Tarkenton has looked terrible, and as he so iroes the Giant offense.

The guy behind him is Ed Baker, a youngster out of Lafayette and a graduate of the llT0 taxi squad. At tim-s he has handled the "ffense well. But any pro fan worth his salt knows you can't win with a rookie quarterback. For instance. Jon Hur.kt-tt is going to be sensational for the Patriots, but not this year, maybe lt'T-'i.

The Jets have veteran offensive and defensive platoons, and convinced they'll be a factor in their division. But with Joe Namath sidelined, and his sub. Al Woodall, lacking that flair for big play. I aoubt that the Jets will get a smell of the title. After something like -VI years on the pro beat, I'm convinced the best way to judge the caliber of a team and to appraise its chances in a pennant race is to gauge the quarterback.

In baseball, I for a team with a stronger pitching staff. In pro football, the is the quarterback. ISradshaw Powers Sleelers I see this year as one in which the young quarterbacks start to sr. a' the play away from the old guys who are on the down side of th ir careers. As number one on this list I place Rob Griese.
