Porit Oct. 1988 UT redshirt freshman given QB It DAAurdock earns starting role, replaces Kelley By Scott Rothschild Associated Press Writer AUSTIN Redshirt freshman Mark Murdock passed his way into the starting quarterback job for the Texas Longhorns, who have passed up Shannon Kelley, the team's senior starter since the beginning of the season. Texas head football coach David McWilliams announced his decision Monday, saying that Murdock Tudor vs. Welch in Game 3 The Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. John Tudor isn't sure how long he will pitch in Game 3 of the World Series after nearly three weeks of inactivity.

Welch would just like to make it past the third inning. In four previous postseason starts, he has averaged 11-3 innings. Tudor pitches for Los Angeles tonight as the Dodgers go for a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series against Oakland. No team has ever rallied to win from a 3-0 deficit. The Dodgers and A's traveled north after Sunday's game and worked out briefly at the Oakland Coliseum on Monday.

Since Sept. 30, Tudor's work has been brief, too. In his last start of the season, the 34-year-old left-hander had spasms in his right hip in the second inning and was scratched from his scheduled start in Game 2 of the playoffs against New York. He pitched Game 4 and allowed eight hits and four runs in five innings. "I'm working on nine days rest and it presents some problems," Tudor said.

"I'm not hurt right now and that played no role in their decision (to start him in Game 3 instead of earlier)." Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda said when making the pitching plans for the Series, he decided to pitch Tudor in a game that figured to have more pressure. "I made the decision that it would be easier for a veteran like John to have so much time between starts," Lasorda said. "I thought he could adjust to it better than (Tim) Belcher. Johns has been in the Series before and we felt it would be easy for him to pitch in the opponent's park." Tudor came to the Dodgers on Aug. 16 from St.

Louis for slugger Pedro Guerrero and was 4-3 with two no decisions and a 2.41 ERA in nine starts with Los Angeles. The Dodgers made the trade after it became apparent left- hander Fernando Valenzuela would not make it back from a shoulder injury. "The only experienced starter we had was Orel Hershiser and I told (general manager) Fred Claire we needed an experienced pitcher," Lasorda said. Tudor is making his sixth World Series start with a 3-2 record and a 4.03 ERA. He made three starts in the 1985 Series against Kansas City and two more last year against Minnesota.

He won Games 1 and 4 against the Royals but was blown out in Game 7, allowing three hits and five runs in 2 1-3 innings as Kansas City won 11-0 behind Bret Saberhagen's five-hitter. Last season, Tudor beat the Twins in Game 3 but lost Game 6 in deserved a shot at the top job for his role in Texas' rally that fell short against Southwest Conference-leading Arkansas. On Saturday, Murdock rallied Texas from a 24-3 third quarter deficit to within striking range, but the Razorbacks intercepted him with 2:10 remaining to preserve a 27-24 win. "I don't think there's any question that Mark deserves to be the first team quarterback," said McWilliams at his weekly news conference. Also Saturday, the Longhorns lost junior defensive tackles Ken Hackemack and Rocky Allen for the season with knee injuries.

Hackemack and Allen underwent arthroscopic surgery Monday and McWilliams said it appears they both suffered ligament and cartilage damage. Both will take at least three months to recover, he said. McWilliams said he made his quarterback decision after watching films of the game and talking with his assistant coaches. He wanted to announce Murdock's promotion as soon as possible to avoid any guessing on who would start, he said. "I'm just trying to base it on what happened in the game," McWilliams said.

"It was a performance worthy of being a starter." On Saturday, Kelley was benched after completing four of 10 passes for 19 yards. Murdock completed 20 for 28 for 215 yards and two touchdowns and was named the Longhorns' most valuable offensive player in the game. The loss dropped Texas to 1-1 and 3-3 overall, while Arkansas improved its record to 3-0 and 6-0. Murdock, 6-2, 189 pounds, will start Oct. 29 when Texas visits Texas Tech in SWC action, McWilliams said.

The Longhorns are idle this weekend. McWilliams said if Murdock is not able to perform well against Texas Tech, he will put Kelley back in. He said both quarterbacks will share time working with the first team during practice. Kelley, 6-1, 170 pounds, was a backup to Bret Stafford last year and saw action in seven games in which he completed 47 of 74 passes. Through six 'games this season, Kelley connected on 70 of 129 passes for 862 yards, three touchdowns and seven interceptions.

McWilliams said he was thankful for the open date, as the Longhorns try to recover from a string of injuries that has devastated the defense. Reserve Longhorn tackle Roger Fritcher has a swollen knee and is questionable for the Tech game. Steve Llewellyn, the starter at left tackle, has been playing with a bad shoulder and also is questionable for the game. Because of the injuries, McWilliams said the Longhorns may try shifting defensive alignments.

LaSorda's Dodgers, with a 2-0 game lead in the World Series, will face the A's in game three tonight. the Metrodome, 11-5, and missed another chance to win a Series clincher. "The big game expression is a media word," Tudor said. "It's an important game, but no bigger than opening days or some games in the middle of the season." Tudor likes to paint the corners and can be sneaky fast. He must have pinpoint control because he's not fast enough to make a mistake around the plate against the A's power-packed lineup.

Tudor, who pitched in the American League for three seasons, likes to pitch at the Coliseum because of vast amount of foul territory. "It's a dream to pitch here," Tudor said. 'IfThe only problem with the dream is the nightmare on their bench." Tudor, who is 105-68 lifetime, was 10-8 this year with a 2.32 ERA. He is the only active National League pit- cher to win 10 games or more each of the last seven years. Oakland manager Tony La Russa said the A's have had mixed results against pitchers with Tudor's style.

"When we have been a little power conscious, we've had trouble," La Russa said. "When we're good professional hitlers we stay on the ball, hit it hard and to the middle of the field, then we have been successful. "We've got to be patient against Tudor and not try lo hit for distance againsl a guy that goes for location." Welch, who pitched for 'the Dodgers for 10 years, pitched Game 3 of the playoffs against Boston and was chased after 1 2-3 innings, allowing five runs and six hits. "I have lots of friends on Ihe Dodgers and I was rooling for Ihem lo win Ihe playoffs against Ihe Mels," Welch said. "I know Ihem and they know me so I don't think there's any advantage there." The right-hander came to Oakland in a three-way deal last winter that also involved the New York Mets.

The Dodgers ended up with relievers Jay Howell and Jesse Orosco and shortstop Alfredo Griffin. "One of the things you want to do when you trade is make a deal that helps both clubs," Lasorda said. "We were last in hitting last season, last in fielding and we needed to help our bullpen. "We hated to trade Bobby Welch. I love the guy.

But we helped our bullpen and Alfredo Griffin helped Steve Sax at second. He really solidified our infield defense." Welch was 17-9 for the A's with a 3.64 earned-run average and struck out 158 in 244 2-3 innings. The 17 victories represenled a career high. "I lold the A's when we traded them Welch that we had just traded them the AL West tille," Lasorda said. In Game 2 of the 1978 Series against the New York Yankees, the Dodgers had a 4-3 lead in the top of the ninth when reliever Terry Forster put runners on first and second.

Lasorda brought in Welch, a 21-year-old rookie, and he got Thurman Munson on a soft liner lo second and slruck out Reggie Jackson swinging on a 3-2 fastball. "That all seems so long ago and it happened so fast I hardly remember what I really felt," Welch said. Jackson got his revenge in Game 6 when he hit a long homer to lefl field off Welch and Ihe Yankees won 7-2 lo lake Ihe World Series. Welch has lost a lillle off his faslball bul slill throws hard and has improved his curve and control. Oilers' Moon thanks line for its support The Associated Press HOUSTON Houston Oiler quarterback Warren Moon thanked his offensive line for their support in his victorious return to the helm of his NFL team.

Moon, sidelined since the second game of the season with a broken shoulder bone, returned Sunday and led the Oilers to a 34-14 victory over Pittsburgh. Moon completed 11 of 19 passes for 174 yards and two touchdowns in his debut performance. "I think adrenalin had a lot to do with it," Moon said Monday. "You go out there you have concerns about getting hit and whether you can take another shot. "But if you watched our offensive line, they took a lot of pressure off me.

They told me before the game they weren't going to let anyone get next to me and they kept their word." Oiler Coach Glanville said several Oilers had their best blocking performances of the season. "Pittsburgh played hard and got after it, but it didn't matter," Glanville said. "Some people knew we had to play our best game to keep them off of Warren." Moon suffered his injury against Indianapolis after he picked up a fumble and tried to run with it. He also went for a fumble against the Steelers. "But you notice I did dive on it instead of trying lo pick it up," Moon said.

Moon's offensive line didn't, allow a sack, leaving him refreshed for showdown for a share of Ihe AFC Central Division lead in Cincinnati. The Oilers are 5-2 and the Bengals are 6-1 after their first loss of the season on Sunday, losing 27-21 to New England. Glanville praised the blocking of offensive linemen Dean Steinkuhler and Bruce Matthews and tight end Jamie Williams. "Watching the plays and how we were blocking was a lot of fun," Glanville said. "Steinkuhler had his best game of the season.

Jamie came in and did a good job," Gibson has a limited duty DL.A. slugger will pinch hit, but that's all The Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. Don't look for Kirk Gibson to do anylhing more lhan pinch hil Ihe resl of the World Series. After taking about six minutes of balling praclice Monday, Ihe hero of Game 1 of the Series says he doesn't expecl lo be in the Los Angeles Dodgers' starting lineup at all. "I Ihink il's prelly obvious whal my role is going lo be, if any," Gibson said after taking about 45 swings.

"I can't cun." What Gibson meant was he expects to be limited to pinch-hilling dulies throughout the rest of Ihe Series. Gibson, whose Iwo-oul, Iwo-run homer on a 3-2 pilch off Oakland relief ace Dennis Eckersley in Ihe boltom of the ninlh inning of Game 1 gave Ihe Dodgers a 5-4 viclory over Ihe Alhletics last Saturday night, has a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee. It's an injury which would sideline Gibson for up to two weeks in normal circumstances, said Dr. Frank Jobe, Ihe Dodgers' leam physician. In addilion, Gibson also has injuries lo his lefl knee and namslring.

When asked if he mighl be able lo serve as Ihe Dodgers' designated hitter, Gibson replied, "How can I designate hil if I can't run?" The injury lo Gibson's right knee occurred in Game 7 of the National League playoffs last Wednesday night. He hurt himself sliding into second base. Gibson wasn't needed Sunday night during the Dodgers' 6-0 win, giving Ihem a 2-0 lead in Ihe Series, which conlinues tonight at the Oakland Coliseum. The Series format calls for designated hitlers to be used in games at the American League park, meaning there will be designated hilters in the third, fourth and fifth games. "If Gibson's not the DH, Mike Davis is," Dodgers manager Tom Lasorda said.

That appears likely. "I'm sorer today than I was yesterday, much sorer," said Gibson, who look about five minutes of batting practice some hours before Sunday's game and decided he wasn't fit to play. "If the situation arises, I'll prepare myself, put that (his injuries) behind me, do the best I can." Gibson hit several balls hard Monday, seven of Ihem inlo the Oakland Coliseum seats, but clearly had trouble handling outside pitches. "I feel like I'm standing there with no leg al all," he said. "I have lo use my arms.

"I tried lo do a lillle jogging oul there (before he hit). It was a joke. I just can't do anything. It hurts when I swing." At one point during the batting practice, Gibson hil Ihree con- seculive balls inlo the seats off coach Mark Cresse. Gibson then hil a popup and blew up, complaining about his swing.

Gibson, who hil .290 wilh 25 homers and 76 runs balled in Ihis season, hil a solo homer in Ihe lop of Ihe 12lh inning lo give Ihe Dodgers a 5-4 viclory over Ihe New York Mets in Game 4 of the NL playoffs. The next day, he hit a three-run homer to help Los Angeles win 7-4. Gibson expressed frustration concerning the amount of attention he is receiving from the media. "I like to be left alone," he said. "The most fruslraling thing about this whole situalion is you people (reporters).

"The team can go on withoul me, so why not focus on them? I don't think it's fair to my teammates.
