stormy Norm Van Brocklin whom he succeeded as coach of the Atlanta Falcons, started his first full day in his new job Wednesday by calling for- harmony. "My big job is to bring us together," said the 45-year-old former defensive chief who took over ousted Van Brocklin's coaching duties Tuesday evening. "What has passed, has passed. We can't 'concern ourselves with what has hap- pened before. Our job now is to salvage, as best we can, what is left' (six games) of a so-far disappointing (2-6) season." The quiet-speaking Campbell announced one immediate change in the Falcons worst- inthe-NFL offense.

He said that unlike Van Brocklin, who called all the plays, he'll let his quarterbacks make the play selections. "Bob Lee will be our starter next Sunday against Los Angeles," said Campbell. "We hope we can put Bob back up on the plateau he was on a year ago when lie led us to seven straight victories." Campbell, the Falcons chief of defense the past seasons, said he wiil stick strictly to coaching the next six weeks and that club President Frank Wall will assume Van Brocklin's general manager duties. "There's no question' it's going to be hard to make the necessary changes in just six weeks'," he said. "But, I have confidence in this club.

That's why I didn't hesitate to take the job." Van Brocklin, a strict his players, had been under fire from fans and the news media in recent weeks. Falcon owner Rankin Smith flew in. from Miami Tuesday evening and announced the coaching change in a terse statement. Smith was not at Campbell's first news conference as head coach Wednesday and Wall explained, "It was a traumatic experience for him, letting Nornigo." "1 a a a com- John Had! Gets First Packer Nod GREEN BAY (UPI) Green Bay Packer coach Dan Devine Wednesday named John Hadl to start at quarterback in Sun- day's game at Milwaukee against the Chicago Bears. The Packers two weeks ago traded five high draft choices to the Los Angeles Rarns for Hadl and he saw his first action late in a loss Washington.He hit on nine of 15 passes for 99 yards after Jack Concannon, the starter, was injured.

"John Hadl will be the starting quarterback," Devine said. "The decision is based partly on health and partly on other considerations."

"They have always felt free with me. know I'm interested in them as players. I cry for them when we lose.

I hate to see anyone get beat." Camp he would continue to present the defensive game plans but would the main burden of running the offense over to Harry Gilmer who has been a i the pass receivers. "My heart goes out to Norm because he wasn't able to finish the job he started," said Campbell. "It's an emotional thing with me. We were together nine years and I ap- preciate what he did for me. "He told me he has no hard feelings toward me, that he is happy it (the head coaching job) stayed in the family." Campbell said Atlanta fans are "thirsty for performance" and that he is "willing to do anything necessary to give that to them." Campbell also announced an abrupt change in regard to the Falcons dealings with the news media.

"I'm here at your disposal," he said. "There will be no muzzle on the players, We need you and whatever you -wish is my wish. "I want the players to see that they can win," said Campbell. "But, 1 don't want to put a burden on the players." Campbell was asked whether Smith had indicated he might continued as coach next season. "He put it to me this way," said Campbell.

"I'm head coach now with complete authority to run the team. We'll sit down after the season is over and talk about my future." Marshall 'Something Else' I Manager Walter Alston -says Mike Marshall is "really something else," and the Dodger relief ace really is. Marshall was cited Wed- nesday as the National League Cy Young Award winner by the Baseball Writers Association of America as the outstanding pitcher in the league. He is the first relief hurler so honored. The tireless, 31-year-old- righthander, whose relations with the press have never been of the best, nevertheless received 17 first place votes of the 24 ballots cast to give him an easy win over teammate Andy Messersmith.

Marshall accepted the honor graciously at his home in East Lansing, but said that "when Gene Mauch, Walter Alston and my fellow National League competitors consider me a top quality performer, that certainly meant a great deal more. "I don't mean to belittle this award," he "In fact I'd like to thank all the sports writers. I realize it must have been a tremendously difficult selection with the great years Andy Messersmith and Don Sutton had." "Iron Mike's" season-long work as the "Dodgers won the NL title was record breaking. He appeared i a record 106 games, compiling a 15-12 won- lost mark and 21 saves. Along the way he established a record for innings pitched by a relief man--208--and posted a 2.59 earned run average, fourth best in the league.

He was a factor in 35 per cent of the Dodgers'102 victories. Messersmith, with a 20-6 slate, received five first place votes, 13 seconds and two thirds for 66 points, while a i i to his 17 top nominations, got three seconds and two thirds for 96 points. Paul Niekro of only other in the NL, prevented a by Los Angeles when, he edged Sutton for third place. Marshall, of course, is in the running for Most Valuable Player honors as Jim Konstanty, a relief the Philadelphia in 1950, was so honored prior.to the establishment of the Cyft'oung Award in 1973 winner; Tom Seaver of York Mets, failed to this time around. "The more I- saw Marshall pitch," Alston commented, "the more 1 liked and admired He never once gave me any indication he was tired or didn't want to pitch.

He has his own. ideas on pitching and you have to admire that too." Marshall, an off-season psychology professor at Michigan Stale, where' he is studying for his doctorate, also has his own ideas on the entire context of baseball, not only on his specialty. Speaking of the young Dodgers, he said they "need to work on the small things that are necessary to playing good quality things not detectable to most fans but detectable to the true con- nisseur of quality baseball." Of his own work, Marshall said relief hurling "is such a special task that it is tremen- dously i i not only physically punishing but day-in and day-out going into win-lose situations and accepting the. results, think I understand the of a performance, rather than allowing the fans' im- pressions or the sportswriters' attempted impressions to become part of (my) thinking." The Cy Young voting is held prior to the playoffs and world series. Marshall appeared in two of the four playoff games against the Pittsburgh Pirates, and in all five world series games against Oakland.

He gave up a home run to Joe Rudi which was the decisive blow in the final game. There had been a disturbance while Rudi was at bat, and Marshall stood alone on 'the mound for about five minutes without throwing. He grooved the first ball he threw to Rudi and the A's were home free. 'His mention of Mauch brought attention to the fact that Marshall had been traded by Montreal in the off-season for centerfielder Willie Davis, although he had appeared in 92 games for the Expos in 1973, pitched 179 innings, had a wonlost mark of 14-11 and an ERA of 2.66.
