ihing‘ /aukee Brewers need to make it

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.

Series. 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.

his caliber (Sutton) definitely
gives us an edge,” said Manager
Harvey Kuenn.
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.”
