Phillips chose to go with a youth movement three years ago and has stuck with the plan.

It's about to pay off. There is a parallel between what is happening in New Orleans now and what transpired in Atlanta with the baseball Braves a year ago. This is a football team that has been down since its birth in 1967. Thanks to Phillips, that's about to change. but in New Orleans, it made Phillips a hero.

The Foley. native is the most accurate passer in NFL history and is coming off a pre season effort in which he completed better than 60 percent of his passes. He's trimmer, thanks to offseason running on the beaches of South Alabama. He came to camp not only in outstanding physical shape, but with renewed cnthusiam and vigor. Miami Dolphins' Coach Don Shula saw Stabler twice and was impressed on both occassions.

(AP) The best football player at the University of Georgia wasn't on the field when the Bulldogs opened their season against UCLA Saturday night. What should have been the start of Herschel Walker's senior season one in which he needed only 724 yards to become college football's all-time rushing leader began with Walker and his wife, Cindy, sitting in Coach Vince Dooley's private box. "I'm real excited about it," Walker said shortly before the kfckoff. "I've never had a chance to watch a whole college game, especially where I know so many of the guys." But Walker wasn't wearing the red jersey and silver britches of his former teammates.

Instead, he was dressed in a white hooded shirt, black pants and white shoes. After rushing for 5,259 yards and setting 10 NCAA, 15 Southeastern Conference and 30 Georgia records, Walker shocked the college football community last winter by giving up his senior campaign to sign a lucrative professional contract with the New Jersey Generals of the United States Football League. Walker was back in Athens Saturday night and back in Sanford Stadium, scene of many of his remarkable collegiate exploits. Later SOMETHING IN VACATION (ri NEED OF REPAIR?
