HATTIESBURG, Miss. (UPI)

draft choice of the New Or
leans Saints, watched from the
sidelines Wednesday as the

practices under the hot sun.

a contract with the Saints, said
“I hope that we can get togeth
er with the Saints in the near
future.”
He said he is indefinite as to
how long he would be in Hat

having to watch.

Rams add another Olsen
By JOE CARNICELLI
UPI Sports Writer
Opponents of the Los Angeles
Rams who felt they had trouble
coping with one Olsen now have
another to contend with.
The Rams, in a rebuilding
irocess under new coach
Tommy Prothro, Wednesday
signed Phil Olsen, a former All
America defensive lineman at
Utah State, after he found a
legal loophole in his contract
with the New England Patriots
and became a free agent.
Olsen had been the first draft
pick of the then Boston Patriots
last year but missed the entire
season when he sustained a
knee injury while training for
the College All Star Game.
Olsen, a 6-foot-5,265-pounder,
will join brother Merlin, a
veteran stalwart of the Rams’
“Fearsome Foursome”, after
turning down offers from 19
other teams.
“I’m flattered by the number
of teams which contacted my
representative,” said Olsen.
“The two main reasons why we
selected the Rams were, first,
we looked over the immediate
and long range futures of the
teams and the offers, and,
secondly, while there were
some negatives, I felt this
would be a fine opportunity to
learn from my brother, who’s
had 10 years experience in the
league.
“The negatives are the
pressure of being the brother of
such a great player and having
people expect too much.”
Three defensive line slots are
taken—those held by Deacon
Jones, Coy Bacon and Merlin
Olsen, and the younger Olsen
will battle Rick Cash, Dick
Evey and Bill Nelson for the
fourth slot.
The Rams now must compen
sate the Patriots, presumably
with a No. 1 draft choice next
season.

Arbanas of the Kansas City
Chiefs announced his retire
ment because of a bad knee.
Arbanas, a starter for 10 years,
played much of his career
without one eye, which he lost
when he was assaulted on a
Kansas City street by two men.
Kent McCloughan, the veter
an cornerback traded from
Oakland to Los Angeles, did not
report to the Rams’ camp and
indicated he may retire.
Dennis Dummit, a standout
as a collegian who was not
drafted, completed five of eight
passes for 114 yards as the
Rams rookies outscored the San
Diego rookies three touchdowns
to two in a scrimmage. Creston
Whitaker, a basketball player
from North Texas State, caught
four passes for 101 yards,
including a 64-yard TD pass
from Dummit.
The Detroit Lions dropped
five draft choices after they
failed to pass physicals. Includ
ed were Herman Franklin, the
No. 6 pick from Southern
California, and the No. 11, 12,
13 and 14 choices, Phil Webb of
Colorado, David Abercrombie
of Tulane, Bill Pilconis of
Pittsburgh and Tom Lorenz of
lowa State.
