   European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - July 29, 1988, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Friday july 29,1988 the stars and stripes Page 21 sports Mcmeley suspended 30 Days new York a Dexter Manley of the Washington redskins was suspended for 30 Days by com missioner Pete Rozelle wednesday for violating the nil s substance abuse act. While the league did not characterize the move As a suspension league spokesman Joe Browne said Man Ley had been notified that he had involuntarily been placed on the team s non football injury list for 30 Days. I have instructed Dexter Manley to remain out of the redskins training Camp until aug. 26," Rozelle said in a statement issued through Browne. That would make Manley eligible to play in the super bowl Cham pions regular season opener sept. 5 against the new York giants. Manley who in 1987 underwent treatment for Alco hol abuse at the Hazelden Institute in Minnesota met with Rozelle last Friday after reports that an illegal substance turned up in a drug test. The substance has never been specifically identified. Browne asked if Rozelle s ruling involved new treatment had no comment. Both coach Joe Gibbs and general manager Bobby Beathard of the redskins also professed ignorance of whether Manley was undergoing treatment although Gibbs said i feel Good about the fact that Dexter is in Good hands. There Are people working with him to help him with his  Manley s attorney Bob Woolf said that his client was not undergoing any new treatment. Instead Woolf said he was continuing the aftercare from his stay at Hazelden. We re glad it s Over. We plan to abide by the com missioner s decision and we re very glad Dexter will not have to miss any games Woolf said. The redskins problems were compounded forever when Markus Koch who would have temporarily replaced Manley As the starting left end left Camp apparently for Good to join his Uncle As a Carpenter in Canada. He s been thinking about it quite a while. He lost the desire to play football Beathard said of Koch who had been switched Back to end in anticipation of Manley s suspension after being moved to Middle line Backer. That left injury prone Steve Hamilton As the Only Veteran at left end. Moreover defensive tackle Darryl Grant remains a holdout leaving the redskins dangerously thin on the defensive line. As for Manley Beathard said my personal Hope and the redskins Hope is that Dexter can get his personal problems and his life straightened out and come Back and be a big Factor in getting us into the playoffs. All we d like to see is for things to turn out Well for  the 30-year-old Manley an All pro two years ago when he was second in the nil in sacks with 18, was credited with just 8 /2 last season in the 12 non strike games he played. Despite that the redskins went on to win the super bowl. He and Woolf met with Rozelle in the Spring and again last Friday. After that meeting Rozelle ordered Manley to stay away from Camp. Manley meanwhile acknowledged publicly that he had been involved in substance abuse but suggested in a radio interview that he did t know that he would be violating nil rules if he did so in the off season. He Rozelle Laid some guidelines on me and i see Manley on Page 26 Quad Ferback is dolphins have schools of pm 8&s Ken George fourteen year Veteran Ron Jaworski vies with three other lbs for backup role. Bubuc Syfox staff writer London you know about Dan Marino. Miami s top Dolphin since 1983. The National football league s All time top ranked passer. Rocket Arm off a Namath like trigger. No the dolphins Don t have a quarterback problem As you could see when Marino starts sunday s 6 . American jowl against san Francisco at Wembley stadium. No quarterback question really. Not like with the 49ers, who have Steve Young waiting for Joe Montana to fault eras he did m last season s playoff loss to Minnesota. And yet look behind Marino. Two backup a a jobs Are open. Four men want to fill them. Even if you could t Tell by thursday s cold wind at the dolphins training site in the Crystal Pallace National sports Center the heat is on. I d like to be on a world Champion before i retire said Ron Jaworski. I can t quit said Dave Archer. I want to make the team bad said Erwin Bell.

Instead of hitting passes by Day and pubs by night he s skipping London while awaiting More Money from Miami. If Strock comes Back said do Shula after coaching the dolphins Sec Ond straight practice with the 49ers, i would be competitive. Jaworski is in great shape. I told Strock right after Las season ended that even if he came Back it would be  so while Strock golfs in Miami Jaworski Archer and Bell play football in London.

Then Marino clicking with Mark Clay ton on a slant. Then Jaworski finding Lorenzo Ham Pton in the left Flat.

Kind of the Way he led the Way from 1977 to 86 at Philadelphia. This is an adjustment you have to make said Jaworski of his Reserve role. To a certain degree you have to put your ego aside. I m 37.

But the thing about Don is he s like an other coach on the  eight seasons after leading the eagles to the super bowl Jaworski reads Miami s three tiered a a Chart clearly. Marino stands on the top step. Jaworski and Strock have a shot at the second rung. Archer and Bell Are in a shootout for the lowest position.
