Out of Bounds Mike Howell (34), Cleveland Browns defensive back, headed out of bounds chased by 49ers quarterback John Brodie (12) after he intercepted a pass in the second quarter of exhibition game in San Francisco yesterday. (AP Photo) lets Grounded, 22-3 Steelers Looking Good By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS This could be 1 the "year of the money" for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the National Football League. The Steelers, an also ran in the NFL for years, walloped the New York Jets 22-3 in one of nine NFL exhibition games over the weekend. "I got a feeling this is the year of the money," commented Mean Joe Greene, the 270-pound defensive tackle, who led the defensive rush that overwhelmed Joe Namath, the Jets' star quarterback. Namath completed only three of 15 passes for 55 yards and had one intercepted.

"The Steelers have a good team, but we just couldn't con- lain Greene," said Weeb Ex- bank, Jets' coach. "At least Namath got out of there alive." Roger Staubach, QB for the Super Bowl champion Dallas Cowboys, wasn't so fortunate. The Most Valuable Player in Ihe NFL last season, Staubach Flock of Rookies Key to Bills Season BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -Coach Lou Saban has only 14 players with more than four years' experience, 16 with two years' and a flock of rookies. Yet, he's determined to make the Buffalo Bills a National Football League winner this season.

"He can't do it," says one of his critics. "Lou may not bat .500, but he's going to win five 'or six games and surprise' some people," says a Saban fan. Saban was a winner here once, when he coached the Bills in the American Football League from 1962 through 1965. He won two AFL titles, mainly with teams noted for their defense. Right now, Saban in his second term as Buffalo's head coach, is working hard on defense.

He's also building an offense around 1968 Heisman Trophy winner O.J. Simpson, Southern California's great running back. After owner Ralph C. Wilson Jr. rehired Saban last January, Saban fired the Bills' assistant coaches and brought in six of his own.

There's Jim Doolcy, former head coach of the Chicago Bears; Bob Shaw, ex-head coach of two Canadian Football League teams; Bill Atkins. Leonard Wins Third Straight MILWAUKEE (AP) Joe Leonard captured his third consecutive United Slates Auto Club speedway car race Sunday, leading the field by al least three laps at the finish of the Tony Beltcnhausen 200- iniler at the Wisconsin Stale Fair park track. Leonard had won at the Michigan International Speedway and in the Pocono 500. Driving a Parnclli-turho charged Offcnhauscr, ho qualified third and' fought for the lead with teammates Al Uner and Mario Andrctli for more than half Ihe race. But Andretti, who led qualifiers in a track record 28.14 seconds and 127.932 miles per hour, pitted on Ihe 109th lap.

His brakes locked on the way into the pits, and his car burst into flames, burning two cicw- mcn. The two, Al Clark and Jim Pillamartcr, were reported in satisfactory condition at a hospital. Andrelti was not injured. Unser was already out of the event with a broken suspension. Billy Vukovich finished second lo Leonard in an Kagle tur- iwchargcd Ofly, Johnny i i ei ford third a a Offy, Lee in Kngle-turbo Ol'ly, and Rick Mulhcr i in another Kaglc.

"Go to work. Get me a win- ninT tpgrp." Saban told the six. Dooley, or example is working witn the linebackers--veteran Mike Stratton, Robert James, John Pitts, Jackie Allen and Alvin Wyatt and a bunch of newcomers.

Ringo, the offensive line coach, is teaching the tricks of the trade to end J.D. Hill, tackle Donnie Green, guard Dick Cheek and center Bruce Jarvis, all two-year men. Tackle Paul Costa (8 years) and guard Irv Goode (11 years) also are going to school. Goode, obtained from St. Louis in a trade for Joe O'Donnell, figures to be a key man in springing Simpson loose.

Rookie guard Bobby Pen- chion of Alcorn AM also is high on Saban's list. Walt Pal'ulski and Ed Ssvend- son, both defensive ends from Noire Dame, are considered likely lo see considerable ac- lion. Patulski is expected to get a starling job. while Swendson must oust three-year veteran Al Cowlings if he wants one. One of the mosl nolable differences in the Bills' training camp at Niagara University is the allilude of quarterback Dennis Shaw, NFL rookie-of-the- year in 1970 and a disappointment- last season.

Shaw, hampered much of last year with a sore throwing hand, seemed unhappy with Buffalo's continuous losing and showed it. "He has a whole new attitude this year," says a Bills' spokesman. "He really wants to play. He's really tossing the ball." Jim Harris, the first black quarterback tn slart a regular season pro game, was a rc- la.st year but managed to start two games. He's trying his best to be No.

The chnnge in the team's at- litudc was noted only recently by Simpson, as he signed a new multi-year contract reported paying much better than the $300,000 he ib icceiung under his current pact, now in its final year.

He underwent surgery Sunday and will be out for two to three months, possibly longer. The injury, a blow to the Cowboys' hopes of a second straight Super Bowl title, occurred when Staubach was tackled hard at the Los Angeles three-yard line in the second quarter by middle linebacker Marlin McKeever. Veteran Craig Morton, beaten out by Staubach for the starting quarterback berth last year, took over and threw three touchdown passes as the Cowboys shipped the Rams 27-13.
