October .1. lVKf Morning Briefing Walker Has Impact on Cardinals When the Dnllns Cowboys signed Herschcl Walker this summer, receiver Pat Tilley of the St. Louis Cardinals wasn't impressed. "I don't think Herschel could shine Tony Dorsett's shoes," Tilley told the Dallas Times Herald.

"Dor-sett's the best running back I ever saw. It'll take Walker time to break into that lineup. "1 don't think he'll have that much impact this year. Maybe next Associated Press In stitches Boston Red Sox fan Jim Bru-nelle has broken out with baseball fever. Assoc mini Press Cal State Fullerton's Rick Calhoun attempts to elude the tackle of Tulsa's Tim Gordon.

The Titans lost to the Golden Hurricane, 20-10. Tulsa Survives Tricks, Tops Titans, 20-10 By JIM McCURDIE, Times Staff Writer year. Monday night, with Dorsett sidelined, Walker was the game's top rusher and receiver as the Cowboys beat the Cardinals, 31-7. Wonder how that rates on the impact scale? Add Cardinals: Among the Dallas contingent at the 1985 draft when Tex Schramm picked Walker, then playing in the United States Football League, in the fifth round was assistant coach GeneStallings. Says Stallings, now head coach of the Cardinals: "When they selected him, I thought it was a wasted draft choice.

I was there when Tex did it. All I could see was drafting a player for that year. I guess that proves why he is president and we're not." Now-it-cnn-bc-told Chet Simmons, the original commissioner of the USFL, told the New York Times how the league selected its official football; "I remember that we met in a hotel room to pick the ball. George Allen. Chuck Fairbanks, John Ralston, Red Miller and Randy Vataha all grown men threw spirals over my head and whizzed them past my ears for half an hour.

Vataha had been a wide receiver, so everyone wanted to throw to him. In the end, we chose a Wilson model. That was the one that felt best to Randy." Trivin Time: Has there ever been a major league player with the same name as the man serving as the president of the United States at the same time? (Answer below. St. Louis Manager Whitcy Hcrzog said Wednesday he didn't think either Gary Carter, then batting .248, or Keith Hernandez, with 82 runs batted in, should be the National League's Most Valuable Player.

"You can't have a legit MVP hitting under .250 or a first baseman who doesn't knock in 100 runs," Herzog told Bob Sudyk of the Hartford Courant. "With the year he is having, Mike Schmidt has to win it." Note: On Thursday night, Carter went 2 for 4 with 4 RBIs, raising his average to .251 with 102 RBIs. Said Hall of Fame pitcher Bob Feller when asked about the split-fingered fastball: "There hasn't been a new pitch in 111 years, which actually is the age of professional baseball. They've got new names for all the same things. "There's no such thing as a split-finger fastball.

There's a split-finger change of pace. It's the old forkball. "It's been popular in Japan for years. More popular than here. The screwball.

The curveball. The outdrop or the roundhouse. All these things are either breaking pitches or fastballs. Knuckleball, spitball. Some are legal, some are not.

Most are. "It's just a new term. It's like wide neckties. It's fads." Cot that? Bo Bo Jackson is gone, but the beat goes on at Auburn. After three games, Brent Fullwood of the Tigers leads the Southeastern Conference in rushing, averaging 9.1 yards a carry.

Trivia Answer: Yes. John Kennedy was an infielder for the Washington Senators in 1962-63 while John F. Kennedy was in the White House. Both, incidentally, were born on May 29. Kennedy played for the Dodgers in 1965-66, both pennant-winning years.

Quotebook Todd Phipers of the Denver Post: "Thank goodness the NBA training season is finally here. What has it been, two or three weeks since the playoffs ended?" ed he forgot the kicking tee, wandered back toward the Titan sideline, then turned downfield to receive a pass from kicker Len Strandley before a confused Tulsa defense could catch on. The play was entertaining, but a yard short of a Titan first down. That was almost blase compared to a fake field goal that the Titans attempted early in the fourth quarter. George Pritchard lined up alone over the ball, with the rest of his teammates all several yards to his left, except for two posing as a kicker and holder.

On the snap, Pritchard scooped the ball back to Tim Byrnes, who headed around ball games as soon as we stop beating ourselves." This lime, the self-inflicted wounds came in the form of missed scoring opportunities. The Titans had the ball inside the Tulsa 15-yard line four times without scoring. Tulsa finished with a 339 to 330 advantage in total yardage. When it was over. Golden Hurricane Coach Don Morton wasn't sure whether to celebrate or worry.

"Cal State Fullerton came in and played hard and their players kept hanging in there," Morton said. "I felt like they underestimated themselves and overestimated us." But Tulsa (4-2) took a 20-2 lead into the fourth quarter and survived some wacky Fullerton trick plays. Golden Hurricane running back Derrick Ellison son of former Ram running back Willie Ellison rushed for 134 yards in 23 carries, and quarterback Steve Gage rushed for 97 yards, 63 of them on a third-quarter touchdown run that proved more important than it seemed at the time. Fullerton running back Rick Calhoun ran for 130 yards in 25 carries, his fourth straight game of 100 yards or more, to lead an otherwise struggling Fullerton offense. There were times when ESPN viewers must have thought they had tuned in to Australian Rules football.

Fullerton's list of wacky plays included a fake field goal in which holder Todd White pretend TULSA, Okla. -Flash-flood warnings brought on by Hurricane Paine hit parts of northeast Oklahoma Thursday, forcing many residents to evacuate and others to seek shelter from the storm. It was into this environment that Cal State Fullerton came to continue its search for higher ground. With the ESPN cameras awaiting, the Titans came here with a chance to prove to anyone with cable television that their 1-4 record was misleading. Results were mixed.

Fullerton may have gained a small measure of respect but left the field still searching for its second victory of the season after a 20-10 loss to Tulsa in front of 1 1 ,988 soaked spectators in Skelly Stadium. With the defeat, Fullerton was left with a 1-5 record and the cold realization that moral victories don't show up in the standings. The Titans had several, but not enough to overcome some demoralizing setbacks. "We became a better football team tonight," Fullerton Coach Gene Murphy said. "Unfortunately, the scoreboard doesn't show it, but I know we're a better team after this game." Said Fullerton defensive tackle Ron McLean, whose tackle for a safety in the first quarter was the Titans' only score until late in the fourth: "Each week we get a little more respect.

We'll win some foot left end before handing to White on a reverse. White, now rolling to his right, threw into the end zone to Pritchard but the ball landed just out of his reach. That Fullerton had to resort to such gimmicks makes a statement about the Titans' inconsistency on offense. Murphy said he was generally pleased with his defense, but, outside of Calhoun, the offense left many yards to be desired. So, the Titans will have to settle for minor moral victories.

"We're the best damn 1-5 team in the country," McLean said. He may be right. For whatever that's worth. Frank's Highland Park Camera Video FREE CAMERA CHECK-UP Saturday 10-4 by our Repairman Jerry PmSGOODONlY HUH AD 3 DAYS ONLY SAlCFRIClSYAltO rOR CASH, CHICK. COD tiwnotosrocK ON HMD QUWIMSLW.
