South Korea says no to direct talks with North South Korea rejected North Korea's call for direct talks on cohosting the 1988 Seoul Olympics today and charged the North was trying to block international talks on the issue. Kim Chong-IIa, president of the South Korean Olympic Committee, said in a letter delivered to North Korean officials at the border meeting site of Panmunjon that direct talks were impossible. theyre not. I'd be disappointed. This is a team thats in first place.

It's a division game, and I think as much as anything, the fans, the team and everybody else needs to put whats behind them, behind them. We need to go on with life from here. Add Ortmayer: Having been a member of the Raiders organization for the last nine years, Ortmayer was particularly happy with Sunday's 23-17 victory. Not only because of the personal satisfaction it brought, but also because ot what it means to the Chargers chances of winning the West. "I personally have believed since the day 1 got here that that is the group that is blocking the door, Ortmayer said.

They're the ones standing in the door, so to speak, and until you can compete successfully with those people, it's going to be hard to reach the top." During the strike, Charles said the quality of play reminded him of the Keystone Cops. Monday, Charles said, I want to take that back. I guess the Keystone Cops were a bunch of humbling buffoons. These guys bumbled a little bit. but they still got the job done.

So I guess well call them the 'Bad News They kind of worked and fumbled their way through it. but in the end they found a way to come out with a victory." Tight end Kellen Winslow said the strike left him numb." The four paychecks Winslow lost cost him 25 percent of his $745,000 salary or $186,250. I'm not sure if I should be angry or be happy. he said. "I'm just numb to the whole thing.

I have some frustrations and I need to release them somehow. For the most part, it's like a nightmare." Winslow, whose number 80 was used during two replacement games by David Dia Inlante. taped an over both his jersey numbers before Mondays practice. It's my little form of protest for using my number while I was not here," Winslow said. "Ive taken a lot of pride in that number over the years.

I understand it's their mini her and they can do what thev want to with it. It was just something I felt like doing." Winslow had removed the before the end of practice. Fouts, the only Charger to earn more money ($750,000 anmi ally) than Winslow, is claiming he should be paid tor the tune plovers were on strike. The quarterhaik. who lost $187,500, retused com ment Monday on what, it any.

ac tion he has taken concerning his claim. "I'm under orders not to discuss my contractual situation hen now." Fouts said. The Chargers signed fnrnur Broncos and Ranis limbaike' Steve Busick. who suffered a knte injury early last season and is st ill not ready to play. "Hes close." sain Ortmayer.

adding that Busuk. 2s likely will he placed on the iluh'-inactive list this week. The Chargers also pl.u ed placement ottensive lineman Him, Slovacek on the reserve lett squad list. Slovacek departed last week to he with his lather, ho is ill. For what its worth.

Wide receiver A1 Williams third yards receiving '2 47' fifth in punt returns ip v.u average i. would rise to 827.0(H) should the Chargers in the Super Bow 1. "I would think they would watch it real interest." Ortmayer said. One interesting sidelight to Sunday's game will be the reaction of fans at San Diego Stadium, where the Chargers haven't played since before the strike.

"To tell you the truth, 1 don't care how the fans react." guard Dennis McKnight said. The ones who were semi-interested in our plight are going to be there and they're going to be cheering for us. The ones booing are the ones who didn't understand what was going on anyway so 1 dont have any feeling for them one way or the other." Added nose tackle Mike Charles: "They're going to come out and watch the first few series, and if we come out and they break a large kickoff and score, I expect we'll be booed. If we skunk them and cause a fumble on the first play. I expect them to be on the bandwagon.

That's the way these fans are they're front-runners." Keep in mind Charles has been a Charger for all of two months. Of course, at his last game, the Chargers left the field to boos, despite a 28-24 victory over St. Louis. Asked for a prediction. Coach A1 Saunders said, I thought they'd be excited when we won against St.

Louis, and I was wrong then. 1 hope we play a good football game and give the fans something to appreciate. "Fans are fans. They want to see you win. As long as you win, theyll support you." Said Ortmayer: "I think San Diego fans will be excited about whatever we have out there and whomever we have out there.

First-place team tries out drivers seat By Jay Posner Times Aduvate SpoiwGlcr SAN DIEGO The Chargers are in first place in the AFC West, own the NFLs best record OK, theyre tied with three NFC teams and six of their remaining 10 games are at San Diego Stadium.

Are they in the driver's seat for a playoff berth? "We've got a shot," said Director of Footbail Operations Steve Ort-mayer, the architect of the Chargers unbeaten strikeball team. "We've got the situation presented to us as well as we could ask for it at this point." The Chargers havent been in first place this late in a season since 1981. How will their "regular" players react to the rarified air of first place? "This team can get used to this position very quickly. Probably at the end of the next 60 minutes." Ortmayer said, referring to Sunday's home game against Kansas City. There's enough veteran leadership on this team that's been there before." Among the interested observers will be members of the replacement team.

By playing in three games, those players are now eligible to earn a half-share of any playoff money the Chargers earn in the AFC Championship Game or Super Bowl. Should the Chargers win the AFC title game and lose the Super Bowl, each replacement player would earn $18,000. The figure Chargers Continued from page D1 nothing to do with the strike. They came in with a chance to impress someone and get a chance to keep playing and have a career in professional football. I guess if I was in that situation.

I might have done the same thing. The strike is over." James added. "We've got to play as a team. If they come in and we are like. 'You're not our equal, we can't win that way.

We've got to stay together. We've got to say they're a part of our team." Some, of course, may remain a part of the team, though exactly how many will not be known until later in the week. The Chargers had to reduce their two rosters to one 85-man squad by 1 p.m. today. Forty-five players will be activated for Sundays home game against Kansas City.

Which 45 depends for the most part on the level of conditioning of the returning players. "It looked like the first practice after a month off." Saunders said following Monday's no-pads workout. "I'm pleased with the conditioning of most. Some looked like they need a little more work, but we've got until Sunday. "I want to see them in pads (today).

Then we'll have a pretty good feel for where we are. Saunders threw a party for the replacements Monday night before sending many of them home. Those who remained were to practice at 4 p.m. today. I said last week there as many as five to 10 guys on the replacement team who are guys who can compete for positions here." said Steve Ortmayer.

director of football operations. Yet, we're not in a training camp situation where we have time to see who can win a position over a period of time. Things will have to be focused a little more tightly than that. Asked if any of the replacements might start on the regular team, Ortmayer said. That would probably be a little far-fetched at this point." As for those people who say the Chargers should just keep the replacements.

Saunders said. "The replacement team played other replacement teams. I dont think theres any question that the level of talent from the original 45 players is a degree higher than the replacement team was." Yet, Saunders added, "1 would hope that whatever 45 players that we choose to play Sunday would have the same type of commitment and the same type of resolve and the same type of intensity and attitude that those 45 replacement players had. Because that's my idea of a team." Gaines Continued from page D1 Well, the real football players first place in the AFC West returned to work on Monday. The club will keep most of the replacement players around for a week, then quietly send them home.

Most likely, we wont even remember their names. But, we will remember the hunger, intensity, the need to survive. And none of us will ever call them fake football players again.

IRVING. Texas (AB) It was only fitting in the NFL's final replacement game that a former semi-pro quarterback was the winner and a 13-year eteran quarter-hack tailed with the contest on the line. The Washington Redskins, without any regular starters, heat the Dallas Cowboys, who started seven veterans. 18-7 Monday night in an NFC East showdown for first place. Tony Robinson, a former Tennessee star who was playing for the Richmond Ravens in September, led Washington to victory after Ed Rubbert went down with a shoulder injury in the first period.

"As we entered the season, one of our biggest question marks was the defensive line, particularly nose tackle. He's shown he can play. At this point, that area looks a little brighter." Another player who may have earned a job was punter Tommy Barnhardt of New Orleans, who averaged 44 yards a kick in three games. Regular punter Brian Hansen.

a former Pro Bowler, averaged 36.9 in two pre-strike games.

I'd gladly leave." He said his salary is not low, but it cant be compared to Denver Broncos quarterback John Elways $2 million or Miami Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino's $1.5 million.
