ILLINOTS TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1969 Boston Fans Confident Pats Depend On Rush To Build Championship By DAVE O'HARA Associated Press Sports Writer BOSTON (AP) Clive Rush, the Boston Patriots' new coach, is the first to admit he doesn't own any magic wand, but the American Football League club is counting upon him to lead it out of the wilderness. Despite Rush's repeated statements that it will take time to rebuild a winner, Patriots' loyal fans are confident that he can in a a general house-cleaning which started when Mike Nolovak was fired as general manager and coach after a 4-10 record in 1968, After being lured from the world champion New York Jets, where he tutored Joe Namath, Rush promised "to do anything we need to improve ourselves." One of his first moves was to hire George Sauer, player personnel director of the Jets, as general manager. "It took us six years of frustration and hard work to build a winner in New York," Rush says.

"The challenge offered there was a special thing. Now we have another new and bigger one." Rush moved quickly. He retained only one of Holovak's assistants, de- PUBLIC SALE!

He hired as new assistants former Navy coach Bill Elias, John Mazur of the Buffalo Bills, Bruce Beatty of Northwestern, Jerry Stoltz of Purdue and young John Stoltz of Purdue and young John Meyer of the Houston Oilers.

In swift action in one day, he traded two all-league players. Middle linebacker Nick Buoniconti was sent to Miami for Kim Hammond and John Bramlett, while cornerback Leroy Mitchell was shipped to Houston for veteraais Larry Carwell, Ron Caveness, Charlie Frazier and Sid Blanks. Although Bramlett and Caveness are sidelined with injuries, hurting the linebacking corps, the Patriots appear much better off than in their demoralizing 1968 season. The big weakness to be a lack of depth. In their debut under Rush, Boston defeated Cincinnati.

The Patriots bowed to Atlanta last weekend, but Rush was satisfied with the play of his top offensive and defensive units. Mike Taliaferro, Namath's understudy at New York before he came to Boston and was sidelined with a sore arm last year, seems to have nailed down the quarterback job. Taliaferro is being helped by a strong running game powered by 235- pound fullback Jim Nance, Nance led the AFL in ground- gaining for two years before he was hobbled by an ankle injury in an exhibition game last August. He underwent surgery during the winter and looks quicker than ever. Other bright spots in the Boston camp include the return of defensive and Larry Eisenhauer and the all-around play of Jim Whalen, who led the ASL's Ught ends with 47 pass interceptions in 1968.

The top rookie prospects include receiver Ron Sellers, the No. 1 draft choice from Florida State, running backs Carl Garrett of New Mexico Highlands and Bob and offensive lineman Mike Montler of Colorado. Surprises among newcomers include defensive end John Cagloe of Clemson, who may win a starting berth, and handy man Brant Conley of Tulsa. The enthusiasm and general organization of the new coaches has rubbed off on the Boston veterans. "I may have the body of a 35- year-old man, but I'm 19 in is fun again," said receiver and place-kicker Gino Cappelletti, the top scorer in AFL history.

I HEED SIGN mm VEHICIE The St. Louis Carduials likely will face the same dilemma in the National Football League opener Sunday that confounded Baltimore last to cope with Roger Staubach, the sensational, scrambling Dallas Cowboys rookie quarterback. Dallas Coach Tom Landry said Monday that regular quarterback Craig Morton, sidelined with a dislocated right index finger, would be a doubtful starter against the Cards at the Cotton Bowl.

Baltimore stopped Dallas 23-7 in the preseason fuiale last weekend but Staubach, who isn't called "The Dodger" for nothing, kept the rugged Baltimore defense on the run. "I never ran so much in all my life," said a weary Bubba Smith, the Colts menacuig defensive end after chasing Staubach around the Cotton Bowl Sunday. "I've never seen anyone, includmg Fran Tarkenton, who can scramble like Staubach. The only times we caught him was when he was standmg still." Which wasn't often. At one pouit, the 28.year-old Navy product, who won the Heisman Trophy in 1963, ate up 23 seconds to gam 14 yards in a nm through half the Baltunore team.

What makes Roger run? "I saw openings and I wanted the yards," said Staubach, who gained more yardage rushuig, 118, tlian passing, 108, because he had trouble locatmg his receivers and reading the defenses. But he says he'll become a conventional, drop-back quarterback yet. "I'm going to be a pocket passer," he said. The Cowboys, meanwhile, released two rookies as NFL clubs reached their 40-man limit Monday. Released on waivers were George Nordgren, a running back from Houston, and linebacker Chuck Kyle of Purdue.

The Colts dropped Coach Bobby Boyd, wide receiver Don Alley and runnmg back Larry Conjar. Boyd was named defensive backfield coach after nine seasons as a defensive back with the Colts. But he was kept on the roster until the last cut, in case he is needed as a player. The Los Angeles Rams released veteran Jim "Red" Phillips, Frank Marchlewski and three other players on waivers. The others cut were veteran cornerback Jim Nettles, second-year defensive end Rick Cash and rookie place kicker David Ray.

The Detroit Lions defensive end John Baker and two rookies, and sold defensive back Bobby Thompson to New Orleans. Baker, a 12-year NFL veteran, played for Detroit last year after the Lions acquired him from Pittsburgh in a trade. The Saints cut two starters. Center Joe Wendryhowski, acquired in the 1967 expansion draft from Los Angeles, and cornerback John Douglas, a fifth-round draft pick in 1967, got the ax. Green Bay, to no one's surprise, cut quarterback Zeke Bratkowski, who was kept on the active list after retiring to become offensive coach.

The New York Giants, winless in all five preseason games, obtained defensive tackle Frank Parker from Pittsburgh for an undisclosed draft choice.

Heinsohn, now a 35 -year-old hetfty, and fat in spots, wealthy insurance man, agreed Mcmday to a one-year contract to succeed Player-Coach Bill Russell, who announced his retirement in July. "We'll see if Hebiie likes it," aaid General Manager Red Auerbach in announcbig ap- pohitment of the former Holy All-American.

"If he does a good job, he'll probably be here a long, long time." 6-foot-7 Hetasohn, who helped the Celtics to eight NBA titles scorhig 12,194 potats in nine years of regular season play, shocked many observers when he quit at the age of 31 hi 1965 to accept a lucrative hisur- ance position. However, he cited loyalty and left the door for a return, as a player, "if they need me and if arrangements can be WOTked out." Fortunately, the Celtics didn't need him back as a player. Auerbach won the NBA championship again as coach in 196566, then turned the bench reigns over to Russell, who led Boston to two more titles in three years as player-coach. While piling up money in private business, Ifefaisohn couldn't stay away from the Celtics. He worked out with the team frequently and for the last three years has served as announcer of games on television.

"Tommy has been intimately invohred with the Celtics since his retirement," Auerbach said. "He has consulted with me often. He knows our personnel and he has scouted for us." Auerbach orighially planned to handle the Celtics' preseason training with Hemsohn's assistance while hoping that Russell would change his mind about re- tu-ing. However, Auerbach apparently gave up hopes of persuading Russell, who joined the club the same year as Heinsohn in 1956, to return. RusseU still has one year to go on a contract which would pay him more than $200,000 for the 1969-70 season.

Heinsohn, who averaged about 18.5 points a game during his playing career, has his work cut out for hun with Russell and Sam Jones retired and Mai Graham lost because of illness. "I consider this a challenge," Heuisohn said in taking over a club which has won 11 titles in the last 13 years. "I know the attitude of this club. These guys have the attitude to win."
