PHILADELPHIA: Coach Buddy Ryan wasted little time picking on the Eagles' next opponent, the Denver Broncos. "They used to compare Randall Cunningham with John Elway," Ryan said at his weekly news conference. "Now they compare him (FJway) to Randall." PITTSBURGH: How soon they forget. Steelers coach Chuck Noll, who has ted his team to four Super Bowl titles, was listed as "Chuck Knoll" on the roster sheets given the media for Sunday's game In Houston. The lineup cards were printed by the Oilers, but team officials said the Steelers were responsible for proofreading It.

One reporter Joked the mistake might have been the work of Oilers coach Jerry Glanvllle, who has feuded with Nod. Two years ago, Glanvllle was Introduced at Three Rivers Stadium as "Gary Grandvlew." SAN DIEGO: Jim McMahon may be replaced as the Chargers' starting quarterback by rookie Billy Jot Tolllver for Sunday's game at Seattle, coach Dan Honnlng said. McMahon was Ineffective In the Chargers' 20-13 loss Sunday to the New York Giants, and he has been hampered by shoulder, ankle and knee Injuries. TAMPA BAY: The Buccaneers, held to one rushing yard In 10 carries against Washington, tost starting offensive guards Mlko Sim-monda and John Bruhln with knee injuries. Slmmonds wlH go on Injured reserve following surgery to repair a displaced kneecap.

Bruhln will undergo arthroscopic surgery today for cartilage damage and may also miss an extended period. WASHINGTON: With three-time Pro Bowl cornerback Darrell Green sidelined six to eight weeks after wrist surgery Sunday night, the Redskins made plans to patch up a pass defense already ranked 27th. Rlchlo Petlt-bon, the team's assistant head coach for defense, said the Redskins will shift Barry Wllburn from free safety back to starting cornerback. Brian Davis, who has struggled badly the past several weeks, will start at the other cornerback spot. STANFORD, Calif.

Jeff Fuller fcould move his right arm a little better Monday, and doctors were cautiously optimistic that the worst of the San Fjancisco safety's injuries was not as bad as originally feared. fj Quarterback Joe Montana, also hurt irj Sunday's victory over New England, still was undergoing tests and doctors were not sure of the seriousness of the injury to his left knee. Dr. Michael Billingham said initial tests did not indicate any ligament tears. Coach George Seifert said Steve ybung would start Sunday against the iNIew York Jets "unless Montana makes recovery." Fuller originally was thought to have sustained a compression fracture of three vertebrae in his neck, threatening his career.

i3 Dr. James Klint of Stanford Hospital said Monday, however, that Fuller was upgraded from serious to satisfac-i tqry condition and that tests showed no fracture of the vertebrae. 4 Instead, Klint said, Fuller had chipped his "small transverse processes," the small bones protruding from the vertebrae in his neck. "There is no indication that he has any spinal cord injury," Klint said. "These small tranverse processes are not the same as a broken neck." Klint said Fuller was coherent, "recalls the events of yesterday," and fhas shown some increased movement ill his right arm," which originally was thought to be paralyzed.

COMMISSIONER: NFL owners meet again beginning today Cleveland to choose a successor to Commissioner Ptto Rozella, with attorney Paul Tagllabu having gone from long shot to favorite past New Orleans Saints president Jim Finks. INDIANAPOLIS: The Colts are attempting to sign 15-year NFL veteran quarterback Don Strock.

Strock, 38. played 14 years with Miami and appeared in four games last season with Cleveland The Celts tost their starter, Chrta Chandler, with a knee Injury In the third game of the season and Jack Trudeau, who missed most of last season with a knee Injury, Is currently starting. MIAMI: Things would be going great for the 'Dolphins if they weren't going so bad. They have won three In a row, but almost every victory seems to cost them another running back, or two. Troy Stradford played a big part In Miami's 23-20 victory Sunday over the Green Bay Packers, running, returning punts and catching passes.

But he will be tost for the season with ligament damage to his right knee, which required major reconstructive surgery. Fullback Marc Logan, who also returns kicks, says he could be out three games after hurting his knee In the same game. The Dolphins (4-3) now are counting on the return of rookie Sammlo Smith, whose tender ankle has kept him sidelined. Fullback Tom Brown and running back Lorenzo Hampton were both injured three weeks ago and aren't expected back soon.

"It's probably harder for us to vote on that than it is for you (reporters) to vote for the Heisman," he said. "At least you guys get around and talk about the other players in the country to people who have seen them. "But I can tell you that Thompson is extremely durable, a great cut(-back) runner with tremendous power. And he catches the ball. He is a bona fide running back." Thompson has rushed for 965 yards on 182 attempts.

He had 43 carries for 216 yards against Minnesota on Saturday. "I can tell you that if he carries 43 times on us," Schembechler said, "he'll get 180 yards." Thompson averages 5.3 yards a carry and would get 228 yards if he could maintain that over 43 rushes. But few backs can deal with the punishment that comes with such a workload against U-M. Michigan State's Lorenzo White (34 carries, 185 yards) in 1987 became one of the few to carry more than 30 times on the Wolverines this decade. NUMBERS DOWN: It hasn't been as drastic as the recent stock market drop-off, but U-M rushing statistics are down some this season.

Tailback Tony Boles has carried 97 times for 476 yards (4.9 average), well behind the 146 carries for 833 (5.7) of the first six games last year. He is on a 952-yard pace over 12 "Our backs don't have great stats this year," Schembechler said. "But our backs are running well and blocking better for each other." Leroy Hoard has gained 363 yards on 88 carries, primarily at fullback. Schembechler said starting fullback Jarrod Bunch, out since arthroscopic knee surgery was day meeting. "That's a good sign.

He knew if you fumble it's really not accepted around here, but I told him not to worry about it. I started to bring him here today. I'm not hiding him. He'll be out there Saturday." Hickson said: "The next game I'm just going to try and redeem myself." In describing the play, Hickson said: "All I know is that the ball came out and I tried to reach out and get it back. When I got back to the sideline, Coach Perles told me I should have held onto the ball with two hands." Perles said downing the ball three times was an option, but getting a first down and running out the clock was the ideal situation.

STAR SEARCH: Pedes said Blake Ezor's, fumble at the Illinois 19 in the second quarter was the result of Dan Enos having been knocked woozy four plays earlier on a run. "A couple plays before that he (Enos) was hit out of bounds on a legal play," Perles said. "He was seeing stars after that play. He was hit on the head and we were very concerned, but he knew who I was and we had him count fingers. The terminology on that play was wrong.

Blake wasn't supposed to get the ball on that play." TIME CHANGE: ESPN will televise Michigan State's game at Indiana at 12:30 p.m. Nov. 4. CATCHING ANDRE: Wide receiver Andre Rison finished the regular season last year with 30 catches and caught nine more in the Gator Bowl. SPARTANS, from Page ID backed up into a corner.

"We've used up all our mistakes. Njbw we have to go out there and win one at a time. If we work hard and have some success in these last five games, there will be something for us." Perles said a 7-4 finish should assure his team a bowl bid. "Nothing's for certain, but don't you think at 7-4 someone would be, interested?" Perles asked reporters at weekly press conference. Last year's slow start "will help us get through this year," said All-America linebacker Percy Snow, who racked uj a career-high 23 tackles against the Illini.

"Honestly, going into the season I never expected this to happen again, but my job right now is to keep the younger guys up. It's not over. Maybe Michigan or Illinois could lose two or three times. Maybe. But we've still got an excellent chance for a.

bowl bid. I wtould like to be playing somewhere during the Christmas holiday. California was the No. 1 place, but Florida wquld be nice. "One thing I know for us, and that's we can't afford to lose any more games." 1 KEEPS CHIN UP: Junior tailback Hyland Hickson endured what was a weekend after his fourth-quarter fumble with 1:41 left led to Illinois' winning touchdown.

came in here and sat right up front," Perles said of the team's Sun required after the opener, would return to practice this week. "I think Bunch is excited about being back," Schem- bechler said. "He was like a caged lion last week. But I don't know how ready he is. Hoard has developed at fullback with him out, and so has (freshman) Burtiie Legette.

Legette is I going to be a very fine player. But I'll be glad to get Bunch back in there." INJURY UPDATE: Outside linebacker Alex Marshall (shoul- der) and tailback Allen Jefferson (sprained foot) are doubtful for Indiana. Schembechler listed inside linebackers -Rusty Fichtner (hamstring) and Chris Bonn (neck) as questionable. Offensive guard Marc Ramirez (illness) and 1 linebacker Martin Davis (right leg) are not expected back soon. Starting inside linebacker J.J.

Grant (knee) could return in two to three weeks after arthroscopic surgery. He will have a splint removed Wednesday and begin movement rehabilitation. MALLORY III: Schembechler has had a Mallory at Michigan rf since 1981. Redshirt freshman inside linebacker Curt Mallory picks up the rivalry with his father's team this week. Brothers Doug and Mike Mallory also played against the Hoosiers, coached by Bill Mallory.

Knicks not pla ying with reckless that brought success Will the real New York Knicks please step forward? Where's that trapping, long-distance bombing, high-wire act of last season? The Knicks looked staid and boring in CONTRACT PROBLEMS: No. 1 draft pick Pervis Ellison and free agent Wayman Tisdale remain unsigned by the Sacramento Kings, and Lukenbill has approached the end of his patience. Ellison, who's recuperating from foot surgery, wants $2.5 million a year for five years. Tisdale wants an eight- year contract totaling more than $22 million. I "I don't think they'll be here by Nov.

3," Lukenbill said of the regular-season opener. "God only knows what'U happen, but frankly, I'm finished with it. 111 volunteer to be the bad guy in this kamikaze mission." RED HOT: Indiana's Detlef Schrempf has been the exhibition season's biggest surprise. The 6-9 forward has 57 points i and 26 rebounds in three games and has taken only 25 shots. "He's having an off-the-charts camp," Versace said.

DREW SHARP NBA their two exhibition games against the Pistons over the weekend. Pistons coach Chuck Daly hoped his team would get more work on trying to beat the trap. But rookie head coach Stu Jackson wants the Knicks to concentrate more on their half-court offense. still going to be a trapping team to some extent," Jackson said. "That's what brought us a good deal of our success in the past.

But it's critical for us to improve other aspects of our game if we hope to build upon what we started last season. There's nothing wrong with making some changes." Jackson, former coach Rick Ktino's Trent Tucker of Flint. "We'll still take them if the opportunity is there, but it won't be as freewheeling. That somewhat reckless attitude was part of this team's charm." The Knicks will be at the Palace for the Pistons' season opener Nov. 3.

EARTHQUAKE AFTERMATH: Like everyone else in the Bay Area, members of the Golden State Warriors had some scary moments during last week's earthquake. Some in the organization suffered property damage, but none lost their homes. The Warriors were scheduled to practice at the Oakland Coliseum Arena last Wednesday. The arena is next door to Oakland Coliseum. As a precaution, the team wasn't allowed to practice there.

But the arena's original architect inspected the structure thoroughly and found no damage. Instead of practicing, the Warriors reviewed practice films in team offices. QUICK RETURN: Sacramento managing partner Gregg Lu-kenbill, his wife and three friends flew in a private plane Tuesday to San Francisco for the World Series. Their plane landed at San Francisco International Airport at 5:04 p.m., the exact moment the earthquake struck, After discovering what had happened, Lukenbill and his party re-boarded the plane and returned to Sacramento. "That was one of the scariest moments I've ever been through," Lukenbill said.

WHERE'S THE POINT? The Indiana Pacers continue to be the only team in the league to think 6-foot-6 rookie George McCloud can play point guard. He is struggling at the position. In two exhibition games, he played 33 minutes, scored four points, made six assists and turned the ball over five times. Coach Dick Versace needled McCloud a little, "George is a rookie," he said. "He's still shopping for furniture.

He doesn't have a clue to what's going on in his life." A CLOSE DEAL Had Seattle reacted quickly, Portland Trail Blazers point guard Terry Porter might be playing for the SuperSonics. Porter's agent, Bill Sneckenberg, said he approached the Sonics about a one-year, $1.6 million deal, and the team was interested. Porter wanted to play in Seattle. But the Sonics told Sneckenberg they would get back to him the next day. Sneckenberg went to the Houston Rockets and Denver Nuggets the next day and told them Seattle was interested.

The Nuggets quickly put a one-year, $1.8 million offer on the table, and Porter signed the sheet that day. ii- The Trail Blazers matched the offer and signed Porter to a multiyear MORE CHOICES: Coming soon to drugstores is a new balm, "FlexAll 454," to relieve muscle pain.
