College Station 696-1440 NCUA The big-name USFL players like Herschel Walker and Kelvin Bryant may have some significant impact on the NFL this year in the opinion of club officials. However, they see no major changes in the NFL power structure because of the influx of players from the idle USFL. “I think Herschel Walker will have an impact, he’s one of the best players in professional football,” Chicago Bears Director of Player Personnel Bill Tobin said. “Same with Kelvin Bryant. But this wild scramble to sign USFL players is a farce.” In four days, more than 30 for mer USFL players have signed with NFL clubs. Besides Walker, Bryant, Irv Eatman and possibly Jim Kelly, Tobin said 20-22 players at most will be with NFL teams when the season begins. “Many of the best players in that league came out last year,” Tobin said. “We got ours out last year.” The NFL owners overwhelming rejected a proposal to expand their rosters from 45 to 49 players on Wednesday, but are allowing a two- game exemption for new signees from the USFL to win NFL berths. Teams must reduce their rosters to 60 by next Tuesday. Along with former Arizona Out laws guard Tom Thayer and former Chicago Blitz tight end Tim Wright- man, 77 other former USFLers jumped last year, including standout quarterbacks Bobby Hebert (New Orleans) and Steve Young (Tampa Bay), running backs Maurice Car- thon (New York Giants), Craig James (New England), and Mike Ro- zier (Houston) and punter Sean Landetta (Giants). “They don’t carry their Heisman Trophies on their helmets,” said Gi ants General Manager George Young about this year’s USFL new comers. “They have to prove them selves just like everybody else.” Cowboy president says he won’t trade Dorset! erlu long jump finishing a 100-meter klee injui f'oi more t Bir him ui ■Tin fm Hwis. “FI THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — Dallas Cowboys President Tex Schramm said Thursday he will not trade Tony Dorsett even though the 10-year veteran running back fumed over Herschel Walker’s five-year, $5 million contract. “I told him I didn’t even intend to talk about trading him,” Schramm said after meeting with Dorsett. “We’d never trade Tony. He is too much a part of our organization.” Dorsett said he wanted to be traded or given a raise in view of the deal made with Walker, a refugee from the hibernating USFL who came to terms Wednesday. Dorsett warned that if his demands were not met, he could be a “disruptive force” on the Cowboys. Schramm told The Associated Press on Thursday: “Tony would like to pull back what he said. He feels sorry he let it flow out. He didn’t mean it. He was just mad and being egged on by the media.” Dorsett, who receives an annual salary of about $450,000 plus fringe benefits, agreed he got out of con trol. However, Dorsett did not apol ogize. “My feelings haven’t changed a great deal,” Dorsett said. "I had a nice conversation with Tex so they would know where my head is at and I know where they are at. I think the contract surprised everybody and I showed some immaturity. It was a fit of rage.” Asked if he would take back what he said yesterday, Dorsett said, “1 would take back yesterday.

Kosar was a rookie quarterback playing in his first National Football League playoff game last January when he nearly guided the Cleve land Browns to an upset of the Mi ami Dolphins. The Browns return to Miami tonight for an exhibition game. “The circumstances are a little dif ferent, not being a playoff game,” the 22-year-old Kosar said Wednes day at the Browns’ Lakeland Com munity College training camp. “It’s fun to go back where I played col lege ball, and I’m looking forward to it.” Kosar was quarterback of the Uni versity of Miami’s national championship team in 1983. He had two years of college eligibility re maining when he graduated early and joined the Browns in the NFL’s supplemental draft last summer. The publicity surrounding his sudden arrival in the NFL brought the soft-spoken Kosar more atten tion than he would have liked. He says that has dwindled this summer. “It’s a little less hectic this season,” he said. “A lot of the peripheral things that were bothering me last year have somewhat gone away. It’s left me better able to concentrate on the football aspect of things, which is the important thing about training camp.” 1 feel c B act '" I Dorsett Bie thou£ ■ackfield ■ rophy ’ ilv on running backs Kevin \[ and Earnest Bvner, who became third duo in NFL historv to rust 1.000 vards each.

V 11’ Yankee pitcher puts queries to rest about playing at 43 NEW YORK (AP) — The ques tion was put to Tommy John not once, but twice. If he continued to pitch the way he was, how could he walk away from baseball next year, even at the age of 43? “You guys don’t believe me, do you?” he asked, laughing. “I’ve had great fun, really. The ovations are great. . . . Walk away? Sandy (Kou- fax) did it, and I gave my word.” Wednesday night, John worked his second straight scoreless outing of seven innings-plus since coming off the disabled list, raising his re cord to 5-1. While on the disabled list for two months with a strained Achilles ten don, however, John accepted a job at the University of North Carolina as pitching coach. He starts next sea son. There arises the anomoly of Tommy John’s career. At 43, he still believed he could pitch, or he says he wouldn’t have tried out for the Yan kees in spring training. Yet, feeling he still could win ballgames, he de cided to quit. “Richard Petty (the race driver) had a very good theory about quit ting,” John said. “If you’re coming off a down year, you always think you can do better. If you’re coming off a good year, you say to yourself that you can still do it. With that in mind, you’d never quit. “My wife, Sally, and I talked it over. Our kids are at the age (11,9,7 and 4) where I’m needed at home more. We just sat down and de cided,” John said. In the two starts since coming off the disabled list, John has pitched 15 consecutive scoreless innings against Kansas City and Cleveland. “I always believed I could pitch like this,” John said. “If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have tried out last spring. I would have just sat home and col lected my money from California.” Major League Baseball AMERICAN LEAGUE NATIONAL LEAGUE East Division East Division W L Pet. GB W L Pet S!
