W A L K E E — Don Sutton ally mluesday rejected the theory he’s tie! “missing link” the Mil- ihing‘ /aukee Brewers need to make it fust a the World Series. . “IbHThey didn't need a missing e fm nk, ’ said Sutton, obtained , 1 trafom the Houston Astros Mon- defe lay night for three unnamed hedhilirlor leaguers. “I’ve come over plett erb for a free ride to the World 52 y efficient throwing the ball as we were two years ago. Actually, I thought Ron (Jaworski) was a better quarterback than the year before.” As a result, Vermeil made some changes in the off-season. He released a pair of veterans, wide receiver Charlie Smith and tight end Keith Krepfle, coaxed 70-year-old offensive guru Sid Gillman out of retirement and rewrote the playbook to feature more short passing. He also drafted three wide re ceivers, including top pick Mike Quick, and opened camp with a staggering total of 18 wide-outs. With all these bodies, Vermeil hinted that veteran All-Pro Harold Carmichael did not have a starting job sewn up. But Carmichael, who has got ten off to the fastest start of his career, and Ron Smith, whom Vermeil says “gives us more ta lent that we’ve had there be fore,” will be the wide receivers. John Spagnola inherits the start ing tight end job from Krepfle amid stiff competition. The engineer of the new attack is Jaworski, who went from NFC Player of the Year in 1980 to a less-than-happy 1981. Included in that stretch was a crucial 4-game losing streak late in the season that saw the Eagles score just 43 points and left Jaworski at the mercy of the dor mant but never extinct Veterans Stadium boobirds. “I felt from a personal stand point I had the same kind of year last year as I did in 1980,” said Jaworski, entering his sixth season as Philadelphia’s No. 1 quarterback. “But I guess I went into a slump the same time the team did. No question'we’re all disappointed over what hap pened. We all came back ready. This is the best camp we’ve ever had.” The reliable Wilbert Mont gomery, who rushed for 1,402 yards and caught 49 passes for 491, always is a threat. A logjam at fullback includes 1981 rookie starter Hubie Oliver, Leroy Harris and Perry Harrington, both of whom missed the season with injuries, and veteran Book er Russell. Tackle Jerry Sisemore, whom Vermeil calls “the best pass pro tector in football,” anchors the offensive line which includes two other potential All-Pros in tackle Stan Walters, who had a subpar year last season, and cen ter Guy Morriss. Defensively, the decision by All-Pro middle guard Charlie Johnson to leave camp and de mand a trade, plus the retire ment of end Claude Humphrey left a pair of holes but Vermeil expects to fill them with little problem. Five-year vet Ken Clarke fin ally will get his big break at mid dle guard. At end, 6-foot-8 De nnis Harrison has to fend off Leonard Mitchell, the 1981 top draft pick who was hampered by injuries last year, to start oppo site Carl Hairston, possibly the league’s most underrated player. Residing in the NFC’s tough est division could make any im provement from a 10-6 season pretty difficult but the Eagles are a hungry team again, according to Jaworski.

I’ll try to earn my ticket.” Sutton, a 37-year-old right hander, is 13-8 this season with 254 career victories and 2,895 strikeouts. “I didn’t go banging on the walls and demand they trade me," he said. “They (the Astros) initiated it. It was one of those happy circumstances where both sides benefited. They needed some young players and Milwaukee needed another pitcher.” The Brewers, who lead the American League East, have de vastating hitting and excellent defense. Pitching is considered their weakness. But with the ac quisition of Sutton and Doc Medich of the Texas Rangers a few weeks earlier the dub feels it has enough to go all the way. “I think getting a pitcher of Pi Kappa Alpha presents their FALL RUSH 1982 I" starting Tuesday August 31 Thursday September 2 All parties begin at 8:30 at the PIKE house, 301 Bittle, Bryan.

He has already slated Sutton — who was scratched from a start Monday night because of the deal — to pitch one game of a double-header at home Thurs day against the Cleveland In dians. The Brewers designated re liever Jerry Augustine for reas signment to make room for Sut ton. Augustine could be sent to a minor league club, traded or re leased as a free agent. Sutton, who has a 2-2 World Series record, and was in three postseason championship series with the Los Angeles Dodgers, said his goal “is to win another World Series and win 300 ball- games. Then I’ll look for a real job.” He downplayed his import ance to the Brewers. “You can’t help but be im pressed with the club just by looking at the box scores in the newspapers everyday,” he said. “They’re a great offensive club. What’s overlooked is their de fense. I don’t know if you could drive a golf ball through their infield.” SIGMA PHI EPSILON FALL RUSH The Brothers of Sigma Phi Epsilon invite you to our 1982 FALL RUSH... • Thursday, Sept. 2: Come celebrate the New Year early with the Sig Eps & Kappa Kappa Gamma 8:00 p.m. — ? • Tuesday, Sept. 7: Party with the Knights of Columbus Hall 8:00 p.m. • Thursday, Sept. 9: Zeta — Sig Ep “Luau Mixer” 8:00 p.m. — ? • Tuesday, Sept. 14: Sig Eps at the ■ 12 Midnight AZ-2
