ROUGH Continued from First Page But at the Hadl's jaw swelled up thinking was he zone, he gave Immediately. touchdown "It was a cheap shot," he said. "I don't know why he did it." Eller plays left end on Minnesota's defensive line, which is the most aggressive in the NFL and probably the most effective today. Only last week, Jim Plunkett's new coach purposely kept the Stanford All-American out of the Viking-Patriot game until Minnesota's starting front four withdrew in the second half. "I didn't want to give those guys a shot at him." John Mazur, the Patriots' leader, said.

"They probably might like nothing better than to nail him a couple of times." This is the 8000, reputation the Vikings have. In San Diego Saturday night, one of their defensive players, Dale Hackbart, made a stiff-arm of his right arm and clotheslined a Charger rookie ballcarrier in the throat on the opening kickoff. The rookie, Mike Montgomery, lay stunned for a couple then walked off own power, but never returned. Quarterback Hadl, whose jaw was still sore Monday, has been the most productive in the NFL this summer, at least on the West Coast. He was in the midst of a typical big game Saturday night -completing his first seven passes en route to a 13- for-17 performance- when the Viking front four went after him, legally at first.

In one of the most impressive defensive attacks in the history of exhibition football, the Vikings sacked Had1 on three consecutive plays. Jim Marshall tackled him on first down, Alan Page on second down and Eller on third down--for 18 net yards lost. It was the first time some of us had ever seen a pro quarterback sacked on all three downs. "We just lost our poise, temporarily," Gillman explained afterward. "Overall, our offensive line did a good job of keeping those guys off our quarterback." And that's the way it looked.

Gillman's rebuilding job this summer gives every indication of success. In fact, the way Hadl is playing now, the Chargers might have outscored any other team in football Saturday night. The Vikings, however, finally have a real quarterback this year, Norman Snead. They won handily, 34-7. Their coach, Bud Grant, asked about the fights and the clotheslines and the personal fouls for roughing the passer, said: Diego has a real spirited club and we do, too." Commissioner Pete Rozelle fined Eller an undisclosed amount that was closer to $500, some said, than the automatic $50.

"There's no freeze on fines," Rozelle said. A Cincinnati cornerback, Ken Riley, qualified this week for a life's-most-embarrassing moment award. Intercepting a Detroit pass at midfield, Riley took off like a dervish for the end zone. ming it into the ground. Linebacker Bill Bergey was close enough to make a frantic recovery for the Bengals at the 2-yard line (and that tells you something about Bergey).

The Bengals eventually scored. "That would have been my first pro touchdown," said Riley, sadly. "If I ever another chance like that, I'm gonna carry the ball right through the end zone and up into the stands." Clarence Davis' 100-yard kickoff run against the Jets Saturday night was one of six different ways the Raiders scored. The others: a 72-yard punt return, a 33-yard pass, a punt blocked into the end zone, a 5-yard run from scrimmage and two field goals. It was a 24-20 game in the fourth quarter, when Davis, the USC, broke it open.

Last Monday, in his first pro game, Clarence had scored against Philadelphia with a 58-yard pass on his first play from scrimmage as a pro. He'll be on TV Saturday in the Ram game at Berkeley. The awesome influence of defensive linemen on football today is going to be neutralized as artificial grounds proliferate, in the opinion of the 49ers, who got a 17-17 tie on Miami's Polyturf Friday. Tackle Charley Krueger explains: "The ability to stop a ballcarrier depends a lot on balance and distribution of weight. AstroTurf will make it tougher for defensive linemen.

They (offensive backs) will probably run inside more now." Coach Dick Nolan of the 49ers says the new turf makes the players fasterincluding "everybody on offense, and everybody on defense except the line." At Miami, in any event, Dolphin running backs Larry Csonka and Jim Klick were faster than the 49ers. The testimony is in from the eyewitnesses who saw Joe Namath in his last game and their reports are unanimous: the Jets were Super Bowl-bound until Joe was hurt. He was toying with Detroit's fine defensive team, 14-0, when struck down. On his second long touchdown drive that night, they say, Namath came up to third-and-goal on the Detroit 5-yard line, where he checked off twice. On his second audible-his third signal on that one play halfback George' Nock skipped into the middle to score through a hole that was 6 feet wide and 20 feet deep.

It isn't the same league without Namath.

Lamonica practiced with the team but coach John Madden said he didn't know If Lamonica would play in Saturday's exhibition game against the Rams. Cowboys- Announced that tight end Mike Ditka would miss at least three games because of a broken bone in his right hand.

Lions in had Tampa, Aug. 7 and he no regrets about, the play on which injured. Namath was hurt when he attempted to tackle Lion linebacker Mike Lucci who had recovered a fumble by the Jets Lee White and was on his way for a touchdown. "Everybody is always saying the fans are entitled to a full performance in these exhibition games. since theyre plunking down their $6.50 and that's only fair.

So now, when I go and tackle Lucci, everybody calls it a stupid play. For your information, that's the first tackle Ive missed in seven years," Namath. said. Namath added, "I'm going to Trippi, Lombardi Get Grid Honors Charles Trippi and the late Vincent Lombardi Monday were added to the United Savings- Helms Hall Major League Football Hall of Fame.

CALIFORNIA 500 SEPT 5 ONTARIO Marlboro CHAMPIONSHIP TRAIL 0.J., Chandler Score but Bills Tumble, 34-28 PHILADELPHIA (P)- Wide receiver Gary Ballman, whose contract negotiations are snagged by President Nixon's wage freeze, caught nine passes for 166 yards and scored one touchdown Monday night in helping the Philadelphia Eagles to a 34-28 exhibition victory over Buffalo, Dennis Shaw threw three TD passes for Buffalo in a losing effort. Ballman, a 10-year veteran, took out his frustration on the bills, who blew a 28-10 lead.

Coach John Madden said he had not heard from Sherman and had no idea why he had left after suiting up for pregame drills. Madden refused to say whether he would fine Sherman, a former USC player who in 1967 during his rookie season came late to a game because he was in a wedding party. The Raiders face the Rams Saturday at University of California Memorial Stadium in Berkeley.

Namath spoke from a wheelchair, his leg completely covered in a cast.

He was dressed in a navy blue cloth robe with a small, yellow button, saying "smile" pinned on his chest. A spokesman for the Jets said the stitches would be removed by the weekend and that Namath would leave the hospital Saturday or Sunday. The spokesman also added that Dr. James Nicholas, who performed the operation on Namaths knee, expected the cast to be removed in six or seven weeks and that after proper exercising, power and mobility should return to the leg in nine to 12 weeks. After the 12 week period, a judgment will be made whether Namath should play this season.

Prothro did not comment on Dummit's release but he said earlier that it was difficult to coach four in the limitquarterbacks, time a available for practice. Now, he has only three. Dummit, who won some big games for Prothro in two seasons at UCLA, was ignored in the last collegiate draft. He was signed as a free agent by the Rams. His height (6 feet) and the strength of his arm were suspect, according to scouts.

It would appear that Sweetan and Walton are starting out even again after five weeks of training camp. When asked 1 to rate his reserve quarterbacks following the Cleveland game, Prothro said: "I can't tell any of them apart." The Rams coach has four more exhibition gamesincluding Saturday afternoon's encounter against Oakland at Berkeley-in which to separate Sweetan and Walton. Prothro also moved to strengthen his secondary Monday by trading wide receiver Charlie Williams and a draft choice to New Orleans for cornerback Gene Howard and defensive tackle Clovis Swinney, Howard, 6-0, 190, has been a Saints starter for three seasons, although he missed six games in 1970 because of a torn groin muscle. Swinney, who recently walked out of the New Orleans camp, is a two-year pro who was drafted on the third round in 1970 as a linebacker. But he "grew" (249 pounds) out of the job and now open: our new was moved into the Williams, a secondround draft choice in 1970, was bothered by a pulled groin muscle most of the season and wasn't activated until the ninth game.

The Rams also reported that defensive tackle Phil Olsen may return in 10 to 12 weeks. Merlin's younger brother underwent knee surgery Monday and damage to the leg wasn't as severe as expected. Ram Notes Dr. Danny Levinthal, who performed the surgery on. Olsen, said the young tackle could resume jogging in about five weeks and, with, out complications, might be able toplay in late November.

Guard Joe Scibelli': fractured left thumb has been placed in an aluminum splint inside a cast and there's a possibility he'll be available for the last exhibition game, a Sept. 9 meeting with San Francisco. Add surgeries: Edgar Scott, the rookie running back, faces a. moderately long recuperative period following knee sure gery, according to and probably will be lost for the season. Offensive tackle Jim Wilson, who has been inactive for several weeks, also had surgery Monday to repair an ailing back.
