(AP Laserphoto) Campbell Named NFL's Offensive Rookie Of Year By BRUCE LOWITT AP Sports Writer NEW YORK A ning back Earl Campbell. whose league-leading 1,450 yards the Houston Oilers into the National Football League playoffs, was named The Associated Press Offensive Rookie of the year today by an overwhelm ing margin.

The Heisman Trophy winner from the University of Texas received 82 2 of the 84 ballots cast by a panel of sports writers and broadcasters, three from each NFL city. John Jefferson, a wide receiver with the San Diego Chargers, received one vote. The other one-half vote went to Tampa Bay Buccaneers Patera Coach Of Year By TONY BAKER AP Sports Writer SEATTLE (AP) When the brain trust of the Seattle Seahawks began scouting for a head coach three years ago, they wanted to find "the next Vince Lombard! or Don Shula." The Seahawks believe they found him when they hired Jack Patera, who was named Tuesday as 1978 National Football League Coach of the Year by The Associated Press. Under Patera's leadership, the third-year Sea- hawks just missed the playoffs in 1978, finishing 9-7 and in a three-way tie with Oakland and San Diego for second place in he American Conference West. The nine victories were the most ever by a third-year team.

Patera received 25 of 84 ballots by a nationwide panel of sports writers and broadcasters, three from each league city. Walt Michaels, who turned the New York Jets' fortunes around in his second year as their head coach, was a close second with 21 votes, followed by Dick Vermeil of the Philadelphia Eagles with 13 and Bum Phillips of the Houston Oilers with nine Others receiving votes were Tom Landry of Dallas, Chuck Noll of Pittsburgh, Leeman Bennett of Atlanta. Don Shula of i a i Don Coryell of San Diego. Bart Starr of Green Bay and Chuck Fairbanks of New England. Patera was en route to Mobile.

for Saturday's Senior Bowl game and was not available for comment. "Individual awards are not as meaningful as winning the Super Bowl, but I'm delighted for Jack." General Manager Jack Thompson said Tuesday "It's a plus for the Seahawks whenever one of the players or coaches is honored. "We'll never tire of it." Thompson said coaches in the mold of the late Green Bay Packers and Washington Redskins coach. and Shula, of the Miami Dolphins, are rare. "There are very few of them," Thompson said.

"We truly think down the line he (Patera) will go down as one of the great coaches." In his pro playing days during 1955-61, Patera never played on a real winner'(Baltimore Colts, Chicago Cardinals and Dallas Cowboys). But the former University of Oregon star qualified because as an assistant coach with Minnesota, the Vikings amassed a 76-22 record during his 1S6-75 tenure. Before that he was an assistant with (he Los Angeles Rams and New York Giants. quarterback Doug Williams. Campbell's 1,450 yards surpassed the single-season rookie record of 1,162 set by San Diego's Don Woods in 1974 and broke the all-time Oiler rushing mark of 1.194 yards by Hoyle Granger in His 302 carries and 13 rushing touchdowns also established club records.

Campbell also became the first rookie to win the NFL rushing title since Jim Brown did it in 1957 and came within one of tying Gale Sayers' record of 14 rushing TDs by a rookie. The third time he touched the ball as a pro, in Houston's season opener against Atlanta, he raced 73 yards for a touchdown and finished the game with 137 yards. The 5-foot-li. 225-pound native of Tyler. Texas, had six other games of more than 100 yards rushing and wound up the league leader despite sitting out one entire game with a pulled hamstring muscle and missing three-quarters of another with a broken rib.

Jefferson, a bespectacled speedster from Arizona State, tied Campbell for second place in NFL scoring by non-kickers with 13 touchdowns, all receiving. The 6-1. 185-pound native of Dallas was fifth in American Conference receiving with 56 catches and, with 1.001 yards, was one of only four NFL receivers to surpass 1.000 yards. Williams, a 6-4, 215-pound native of Baton Rouge. and a Grambling graduate, won the Buccaneers' starting job early in the season.

Despite missing five games with a broken jaw he was instrumental in guiding the Bucs to respectability. Campbell's multiple ability a magnificent combination of brute force and breakaway speed forced defenses to key on him. That opened up the Oilers' passing game. And that in helped Houston to reach the playoffs for the first time since the 1989 American Football League season. By The Associated Press Philadelphia goalie Wayne Stephenson has spent much more time on the bench than he has in the Flyers' net this season.

He has started just 8 of the team's 42 games, and has seen action during two others in relief of Bernie Parent. Tuesday night, Stephenson was entrusted with the Flyers' 18-game unbeaten streak against the Washington Capitals. He kept it alive, backstopping a 5-2 Philadelphia victory Flyers' 15th, with four ties in the 19 games between the teams since Washington entered the National Hockey League. Stephenson let his play do the talking during the game, surrendering only one goal during a second period in which the Flyers were out- shot 19-6. That was Guy Charron's 13th tally of the season, a power play score, but it only brought the Capitals within 3-2 First-period goals by Rick MacLeish.

Dennis Verver- gaert and Reggie Leach gave Stephenson all the support he needed. Leach scored again, his 21st of the season, in the second period and Bill Barber got the other Philadelphia goal. In the other NHL games, the New York Islanders routed the Los Angeles Kings 7-1, the New York Rangers downed the St Louis Blues 5-3 and the Atlanta Flames defeated the Buffalo Sabres 5-3. In an exibition. the Wings of the Soviet beat the Boston Bruins 4-1.

Islanders 7, Kings 1 Lome i scored twice in a 33-second span, capping New York's four- goal secondperiod against Los Angeles goalie Ron Grahame and keeping the Islanders unbeaten in 21 home games this season. Clark Gillies, John Tonelli and Ed Westfall added two assists each for New York, which has lost just one of its NHL Roundup last 13 games. Tom Williams netted a 75-foot shot for the Kings, who played without four of their regular de- fensemen. Rangers 5, Blues 3 Ron Duguay scored twice as the Rangers beat the Blues to continue their domination of Smythe Division teams and extend to 10 games their unbeaten streak against the Blues. The Rangers have won all nine games they've played this season against Smythe Division teams.

Including last season. New York is unbeaten in 14 games against Smythe opponents. Flames 5, Sabres 3 Center Guy Chouinard set up third-period goals by Bob MacMillan, Jean Pronovost and Ken Houston, sparking Atlanta's comeback and giving the Flames their victory over Buffalo. The Sabres had taken a 2-0 lead on goals by Andre Savard and Craig Rarnsay, but Red Laurence scored twice in the second period to tie the game and set the stage for the thirdpenod burst. Soviet Wings 4, Bruins 1 Mikhail Varnakov scored twice to pace the Soviet Wings' victory over the Bruins, but the night belonged to former Boston star Bobby Orr.

The 30-year-old Orr. who finished his career with the Chicago Black Hawks after becoming a free agent from the Bruins, retired in November. His ruined knees no longer could stand the stress of active duty. WHA CINCINNATI (AP) Real Cloutier took over the scoring leadership of the World Hockey Association when he put in the tying goal, then Bob Fichtner put the game away for the Quebec Nordiques with just 49 seconds left Tuesday night. The 4-3 victory over the Cincinnati Stingers moved Quebec into a tie for first place in the WHA with the idle New England Whalers.

"This was a really big comeback. The spirit is good now." said Cloutier, who has 36 goals and 36 assists for 62 points. "I wanted to win and I' 11 take a couple of points too. Cincinnati will play tight the next game." The teams meet again here Friday. In the only other WHA matchup, Winnipeg edged Edmonton 4-3.

Fichtner's goal dropped Cincinnati to third place and was the Stingers third straight loss. "There was no reason for that goal. We just get frustrated out there. We had the game won in the second period, 3-2. and just couldn't score any more goals "We came out in the third period and were giving the puck away and bingo, it's in the net.

"We've got to get loose out there and get a little fun back in the game," said Smith Left wing Paulin Bordeleau scored for Quebec midway in the first period but Stingers defenseman Craig Norwich tied it 1-1 on a power play. Quebec went ahead 2-1 following a pile-up in front of the Cincinnati net in which Garry Lariviere poked home a loose puck. Cincinnati got second period goals on rebound shots by Reg Thomas and Bill Gilligan, ooth catching Quebec goalie Richard Brodeur flat on the ice. Cloutier then tied it 3-3 at 28 of the third period, taking the WHA scoring lead with 62 points. "Without three of our key players, we deserve even more credit for the Quebec Coach Jacques Demers, a former Cincinnati coach.

Cincinnati was the only WHA team the Nor- diques had not beaten on the road. "Once we tied it, we knew we were going to win. The Stingers defense wasn't as sharp," he said. Jets 4, Oilers 3, OT Kent Nilsson scored at 6:22 of overtime for the Winnipeg triumph. The deciding goal came after Terry Ruskowski dug the puck out of the corner and sent a centering pass to Nilsson.

Nilsson won a scramble with Oiler center Stan Weir for possession of the puck, then rifled a 10-footer past goalie Ed Walsh It was Nilsson's second goal of the game. Baseball Draft: Reds Pick USC's Bordley Bird Keys Indiana State By KEN RAPPOPORT AP Sports Writer When Larry Bird is good, he is very, very good And when he is bad well, even then he is far from horrid. Despite a poor shooting game Tuesday night 9 for 26 from the floor the Bird Man of Indiana State still managed to look pretty good with 26 points. 16 rebounds and seven assists. And those figures added up to an 83-64 college basketball victory for the ninth-ranked Sycamores over Carolina AT, their 12th straight of the season.

"Basically. Larry played a good game but he couldn't get the ball in the hole." said I i a a State Coach Bill Hodges. "But we're very happy to get a victory, and as poorly as we played, it's good to get this one out of our system." Bird's shooting percentage might have been not up to his usual consistency, but his other qualities were apparent to North Carolina AT Coach Gene Littles, a former pro player. "Bird just does things that a 6-foot-9 player shouldn't be able to do." he said. "He doesn't have to score to help this team.

He's such an excellent passer and strong re- bounder. I told our kids we had to take the baseline away from Bird and make him pass the ball and that they should be concerned i Carl Nicks as well as Bird." Nicks, a guard, averages over 20 points a game for the Sycamores and had 16 Tuesday night. Bernard Toone scored a cai eer-high 31 points to pace Marquette over over Southwestern Louisiana. Freshman center Dean Marquardt, making his first collegiate start, added 17 points for the Warriors, who won their llth game in 12 starts.

In fact, he loves the West Coast so much he wrote letters to the teams not in California, explaining that he preferred that those clubs not draft him in Tuesday's winter draft of freea- gent amateur talent. In the letter.

Bordley said he wanted a certain amount of money and some incentive bonuses. Joe Bowen. vice president in charge of scouting for the Reds, said Tuesday that Bordley's asking price was "substantial" and that one of the incentives was a bonus provided he reached the major leagues thin a certain time. The Angels, who had the No 4 pick in the secondary phase (for players picked before), never received a letter from Bordley. "He'd sign with us in five minutes," said California President Buzzie Bavasi.

Philadelphia, with the first pick in the secondary phase, listened to Bordley. selecting instead Mark Davis, a lefth- anded pitcher who struck out 191 batters in 961-3 innings in his senior year at Granada High School in Livermore. Calif ThePhilliesannounced shortly after picking Davis that they had signed him to a contract.

Knights Fall It didn't take North Carroll long to let Fairf ield know who was in control of last night's game.

The hosts jumped out to a 26-10 lead in the first quarter and went on to post an easy victory. "They were bigger and stronger and faster," Fairfield coach Bob Finafrock said. "We didn't play quite as well as we had been the last few games. We got out of it early." Five North Carroll players reached double figures.

Then California and Bordley had to sweat out one more pick, but the California Connection wasn't to be. Cincinnati claimed him. Bordley told The Associated Press late Tuesday: "I'm really disappointed, so now I'm going back to I talked to the Cincinnati scouts, I explained to them that my dad had open-heart surgery and my brother had a serious accident, and my other brother is going into the Air Force. I had counted on one of them to relieve me of the burden at home.
