Morris, the Giants' all-time leading rusher with 5,296 yards, broke a foot in Saturday's exhibition loss to Pittsburgh and was placed on injured reserve before the team got down to its final 47-man roster. Tippett, the mainstay of the Patriots' defense, was placed on injured reserve after undergoing surgery to repair muscle damage in his right shoulder, Two other New England starters, cornerback Ronnie Lippett and defensive end Garin Veris, both of whom had knee surgery Saturday, also went on IR. Under the new rules, none can return this season.

As usual, it was a bad day for veterans as well as rookies. Among the name players waived were one-time All-Pro wide receiver Cris Collinsworth of Cincinnati and the Bengals' 10-year placekicker, Jim Breech, along with a half-dozen Denver Broncos who played key roles on their two Super Bowl teams. In that group were wide receiver Steve Watson and running back Gerald Willhite.

Thus rookie quarterback Rodney Peete of Detroit, who would have been the Lions' starter, was kept on the roster though his sprained left knee will sideline him hree to five weeks.

There were other casualties among name players as the league's 28 teams got down to the regular-season limit. Many of those cut, however, could be brought back quickly as teams manuever with the injured reserve list. Hunley, was cut by the Cardinals. Hunley, obtained in a trade last year, was expected to be Phoenix' starting middle linebacker but missed 12 days in a contract dispute and played poorly in preseason. Morris and Tippett may have been victims of the new injured reserve rules.

Brian Washington, who started 14 of 16 games at free safety for Cleveland last year, also went on the list with a broken nose and elbow injury; Miami put placekicker Fuad Reveiz on the list, and Buffalo lost all-purpose running back Robb Riddick the same way.

Hill, who missed the entire preseason trying to get his contract renegotiated, told the Oilers he would be at workouts today.

Running back Mike Ro-zier, however, is still holding out and has asked to be traded. The Oilers requested a two-week roster exemption for Hill until he's ready to play. Jones, a second-year defender from Pittsburgh, had been competing with rookie third-round draft choice Bubba McDowell for the starting strong safety position. Other cuts were: wide receivers Vince Courville and Rod Harris, quarterback Chuck Hartleib, safties Bo Orlando and Domingo Bryant, running back Larry Emory, defensive back Rayford Cooks, cornerback Billy Bell, linebacker Tracy Rogers, defensive end Anthony Spears and tackles Brian Smider and Vince Stroth. Colts; tight end Keith Jennings, a fifth-round pick from Clem-son; and free agent tight end Anthony Jones.

Also cut were fifth-round defensive tackle Jeff Roth of Florida; free agent tackle Ricky Siglar of San Jose State; free agent defensive lineman Tony Simmons of Tennessee; free agent linebacker Ken Tippins of Middle Tennessee State; and Greg Gilbert, a free agent linebacker from Alabama. The other rookies on Dallas' active roster besides Tolbert and Ankrom are quarterbacks Steve Walsh of Miami and Troy Aikman of UCLA; fullback Daryl Johnston of Syracuse; linebacker Randy Shannon of Miami, offensive guard Mark Stepnoski of Pittsburgh; and wide receiver James Dixon of Houston. The Cowboys are still looking for help at defensive tackle and linebacker. There are three rookies on Dallas' injured reserve squad, tight end John Duff of New Mexico, linebacker Kevin Peterson of Northwestern, and linebacker Willis Crockett of Georgia Tech. "We feel really good about our draft," Johnson said.

"There were some disappointments like Rhondy Weston in the third round. But Ankrom and Shannon were real pleasant surprises considering that we got them in the 11th and 12th round spots. Tolbert also snowed us he can play and we got him in the fourth round." Cowboys Continued from 1C ceiver Ray Alexander and running back Junior Tautalatasi did not. "I think the things I showed on the special teams is what did it," Ankrom said. "I never had a feeling I had the team made but I can tell you I was fighting for a spot.

I wasn't going to let any of the older guys intimidate me." At almost every scrimmage Ankrom, who played every offensive position at TCU but lineman, was involved in a shoving match or fisticuffs of some sort. "We were very pleased with Scott because he's a physical wide receiver who also added a lot to our kicking game," Coach Jimmy Johnson said. "That was the difference when we looked at our number three, four, and five wide receivers. We wanted them to be able to contribute to the special teams." Alexander, in his third year, caught the pass that set up the Cowboys' winning field goal in a 30-28 preseason victory over Houston Saturday. He was Dallas' leading receiver with 54 passes last year.

Others cut from the Cowboys included free agent tackle Scott Adams of Georgia, linebacker Rod Carter, a lOth-round pick from Miami; defensive tackle 7 Chuck Ehin, who was picked up in trndp with the Baltimore 39 700 IS PR) lutM Typl $7795 0 30 3bOR1b 30950R15 $7795 311Q50R15 8895 S7Q95 TRAIL TlA BUMS P23576RI5XI '79" 3312.50R15 107" ALL TERRAIN TlA BUMS IT21575R15 '79" LT23575R1i 90" 30950R15 90" 311050R1' 99" 321150R15 108" 311050R16.5 109" 331250R15 115" 351250R15 129" Tire Siie TUBE TVPE Price 15(6PRI 39" 750 16 (8 PHI 49" TUBELESS 700 15IBPRI' 42" 700 15I6PRI PMMIUM 54" 7b0 1BI8PRI' HlffAV 56" (00 16 (8 PR) I)D4 00IA 53" B7SI6SI8PRI 58" 950 16 5 IB PR) 63" 9295 9195 9.50R16.5 LT23585R16 Catitft filn 1 1341 Lee Trevino 592 6496 901 Texas 532 6519 bUb Montana bUl UubJ 8008 N.
