LOS ANGELES ? Herschel
Walker, his first professional game
behind him, still believes he made the
right choice bv sienina with tho
v ?o O v"v *,v"
Jersey Generals and giving up his
final year of collegiate eligibility.
"I feel good about the decision I
made," said Walker, who passed up
his senior season at the University of
Georgia to join the new United States
Football League.
Walker won the 1982 Heisman
Trophy at Georgia, then surprised the
football world two weeks ago by
signing a reported three-year, $5
million contract with the Generals.
Walker's initial outing as a pro was
less than spectacular, as he carried 16
times for 65 yards and caught one
pass for 3 yards in the Generals' 20-15
loss to the Los Angeles Express
Sunday at the Los Angeles Coliseum.
But he has just a week of practice
time with the club, and New Jersey

Coach Chuck Fairbanks played him
judiciously.
"I ran the ball a little better than I
expected, and I caught a pass,"
Walker said. "I'm just sorry we lost."
He said he was surprised at the
caliber of the competition in the
game, with an announced attendance

"It's tougher than I thought it would
be," Walker said. "A lot of the guys
had more speed than I expected to
see. And the execution was better ? I
guess that's the biggest adjustment I
have to make."
Fairbanks said perhaps too much
was expected of Walker in his first pro
start.
"Give the kid a break," the New
Jersey coach said, pointing out that
Walker has practiced about a week
with the Generals. "We could have
brought in a top-flight NFL back who
has no familiarity with our system
and it would have been difficult for
him.

"Herschel made some mistakes out
there, but certainly nothing that can't
be corrected. I said before the game
that we'd use other backs simply
because Herschel had been with as
only a week.
"We didn't help Herschel a lot. We
could have blocked better for him....I
think Herschel will be a great pro
back. He certainly doesn't have any
physical or mental limitations that
will stop him from doing it.
"One thing I liked about Herschel,"
Fairbanks said, "is that he wanted to
play. He'd have been in there every
play if he could have."
New Jersey quarterback Bobby
Scott, formerly with the National
Football League's New Orleans
Saints, was impressed by Walker.
"I was very pleased with Walker's
performance after just that much
practice," Scott said. "He only made
two mistakes ? one play when I was
sacked and one play when he turned
the wrong way." ;
