The newspaper story said assistant Coach John Becker, former football coach at the college in Van Nuys, had arranged for Perez to get the credits. Oregon athletic department representatives issued conflicting reports as to whether Becker had decided to resign, and Becker was not available for comment.

"I was really pleased with the defense, especially the first night," said Phil Jordan. "We had a horrible shooting percentage but the defense caused the necessary turnovers to keep us in there." The second night both the offense and the defense were going strong.

"The rebounding is picking up," Jordan commented. "They pulled together as a unit." The players have home for Christmas, and Jordan said that the break would give his Basketball NEW YORK (AP) Jack Pardee, who guided the aging, draft-poor Washington Redskins Perez submitted a transcript to within a whisker of a divi- listmg the 13 credit hours be- i on championship, was named cause he needed 12 credit hours today the National Football League Coach of the Year by The Associated Press. Pardee received 30 of the 84 votes cast by a nationwide panel of sports writers and sports broadcasters, three in each league city. Dick Vermeil of the Philadelphia Eagles was a close second with 23 votes. Other coaches receiving more than one vote were Don Cory ell of the San Diego Chargers, 10; John McKay of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Sam Rutigliano of the Cleveland Browns, 6, and Bum Phillips of the Houston Oilers, 4.

The Redskins, 8-8 last year and picked by many to fall below .500 this season, rose instead to '10-6 and came within 40 seconds of beating Dallas for the National Conference East title before losing to the Cowboys 35-34. "It's a great honor to have been selected," Pardee said. "Certainly I would have rather had a couple of more points last Sunday. I'd trade the individual honor for team honors to recover Tuesday's College Basketball Scores By The Associated Press EAST Georgetown, D.C. 55, Providence 50 Harvard 81, Holy Cross 80 Howard 64, Florida A8.M 51 Jersey City St.

"We come back to play Los Angeles Baptist in January," he looking forward to the rest of the games, but it will be rugged." The coach especially praised John Nebel for his defense, saying that Nebel had held the opponent's high scorer to below his average for the last two weekends. High scorer Friday night was Eric Seeley with 21 points.

Ron Ashworth and Rory Redick had 18 points each, John Nebel had 14 and Dave Ignell had 10. In rebounding Friday night, Redick had 12 and Ashworth had 11.

But considering the other coaches I was up against it really is an honor to be chosen and I accept the award on behalf of the entire team." In 1978, after one year as head coach of the World Football League's Florida Blazers and three seasons as head coach of the NFL's Chicago Bears, Pardee took over the Redskins' reins. He inherited a veteran-packed team whose future had been mortgaged by George Allen's "the future is now" philosophy. Allen, seeking instant success (he achieved it to a moderate degree in the early and mid-1970s), dealt away most of Washington's draft choices for older players. "What we want to be is more aggressive, more physical and have more speed," he said before this season began. "We want a swarming defense.

We want to be able to run the ball better. We expect better spirit." He also wanted youth so Pardee cleaned house, cutting a number of veterans, most notably quarterback Billy Kilmer, linebackers Chris Hamburger and Harold McLinton, safety Jake Scott and defensive end Ron McDole.
