Rookies Could Help Raiders
SANTA ROSA (UPI) They say it is tough for a rookie to land a job on a championship team, but it would be hard to convince the Oakland Raider first year men of that fact. Clarence Davis and Greg Slough of USC, Warren Koegel of Penn State, Phil Villapiano of Bowling Green, Bob Moore of Stanford and Jack Tatum of Ohio State were all drafted high by division King Oakland and apparently will stick with the varsity. But how about unsung yearlings like Horace Jones, Don Martin, Bill West, Paul Gipson and Chuck Hill? They have all looked good enough to possibly stick with the varsity or taxi squad, too.
