Thomas has has more fights than Witherspoon although he has never figured prominently in the title picture. A quick puncher with a good left jab, he has also displayed lots of power in running up his impressive knockout "I feel I have more experience if you compare the guys I've fought with the guys he's fought," Thomas said. "I've always thought I had the potential to win the title, it was just a matter of doing the right things getting enough sleep, eating right and staying away from the drugs."

(AP) -Pinklon Thomas, undefeated in 25 fights with 20 knockouts, is still a virtual unknown going into Friday's heavyweight title fight against Tim Witherspoon.

"He's the best kept secret around," said veteran trainer Angelo Dundee, who signed on with Thomas for the fight. "People don't know Pinklon, but he's got tons of ability and he's a great guy to boot." Thomas hopes his scheduled 12-round performance against Witherspoon for the World Boxing Council title will finally put him in the spotlight in the confused world of heavyweight boxing where three different fighters claim championships. "They don't really know Pinklon Thomas yet because I haven't had the exposure," said the boxer, whose impressive record Includes a draw with World Boxing Association champion Gerrie Coetzee. "They might start knowing who I am after I win the title Friday night." Beat Heroin Addiction Thomas, 26, who now lives in Philadelphia, literally fought his way past an addiction to heroin that had plagued him since his teens in Detroit. His slow climb up the heavyweight ladder nearly seven years later will finally culminate in a title shot.

"It's his job to hold his tide and my job to take it," said Thomas. "I Rozier Won't Play For Oilers Mike Rozier, the 1983 Heisman Trophy winner from Nebraska, won't be leaving the United States Football League to play for the Houston Oilers this season, Oilers General Manager Ladd Herzeg told The Associated Press Wednesday. Rozier played with the USFL's 4 Pittsburgh Maulers last season but his agent, Art Wilkinson, had been nego- Rozier tiating with both clubs to free the running back for the National Football League Oilers. "Art Wilkinson and Mike Rozier were not able to resolve their contract settlement with the Maulers in time to meet the Oilers' deadline of having Mike under contract with the Oilers for the 1984 season," said Herzeg, who had set a Wednesday deadline. Rozier signed a three-year, $3.1 million contract with the Maulers.

Jets Waive Ward Veteran- tackle Chris Ward was waived Wednesday in a surprise move by the New York Jets because Coach Joe Walton "wanted to go with young players." "We wanted to go with Reggie McElroy at left tackle and we didn't feel Chris would help us as a backup," said Walton of his third-year lineman. The 28-year-old Ward, the Jets' first-round draft choice and the fourth player taken in the 1978 NFL draft, teamed with Marvin Powell as the "bookends" who powered a running attack that got the Jets to the AFC finals in 1982. He had been the Jets' starting tackle for the past six years. But Ward consistently battled weight problems and even after training camp, he weighed in at 281 pounds, two pounds over his playing weight. On the other hand, Walton said, "McElroy came into camp In good physical condition and improved this week." Walton said that be spent the last week looking to trade Ward, but found no takers.

His release reduced the Jets roster to the 49-man limit wide receiver Wesley Walker, who reported Monday after a holdout, had been kept under a special exemption for late reporting players. Ivery on Injured List In other NFL developments, Eddie Lee Ivery was put on the injured reserve list by the Green Bay Packers, who said he had problems with Us left knee. The assignment of the running back to the list for four weeks made room on the roster for nose tackle Bill Neill, who was obtained Tuesday after being released on waivers by the New York Giants. Chicago Bears General Manager Jerry Vainisi said that his team took a pass this week on the services of running back Franco Harris. Harris, released last week by the Pittsburgh Steelers because of a contract dispute after 12 year there, is just 362 yards short of the all-time NFL career rushing mark of 12,312 yards held by Jim Brown.

In Dallas, Roger Staubach said the pressure facing Gary Hogeboom as the new No. I quarterback for the Cowboys was similar to the pressure he faced in 1971 when he replaced Craig Morton. "I was scared when Coach Landry named me to replace Craig Morton," said Staubach.
