Average four catches a game the test of the season which he did year when he caught 65 passes for 960 yards and the record is his head-coaching experience Although Allen did not completely close the door toward his possible return to coaching, he said he would be there to help Lanham "He wont falter.

Paul will do a good job Hes an old friend and a colleague whos, been with me since way back in my days with the Washington Redskins in the National Football League, Allen said Til be here every day trying to make this franchise successful Pm not leaving football. Im just changing jobs Allen, who led the Wranglers to the Western Conference championship last season, said he reached his decision to step down about midnight Wednesday and informed team owner Dr Ted Diethnch over dinner. I left the table in tears, said Diethnch. Diethnch also announced that there are no plans to merge the Wranglers with any other USFL team at this time" and that the team hierarchy would stay intact with Allens 28-year-old son, Bruce, remaining as general PHOENIX (AP) George Allen, calling himself a pioneer and "the last founding father left" the United States Football League, says he resigned as the Arizona Wranglers head coach partly because of his wife "Etty stayed in California all last year and it was hard on her She even started smoking again," Allen said at a news conference here Thursday I'd like to spend more time with her. We've had to postpone a trip to Europe for two years now.

But Saturday, were leaving for Scotland, the Netherlands, Lisbon, Madrid and Paris. Allen, 66, said it was a day of sadness and a day of pride as he apparently ended his 14-year pro coaching career However, he said he would remain with the Wrangler organization as chairman of the board and part owner, and named assistant coach and offensive coordinator Paul Lanham as his head coaching successor This is a time of great mixed emotions for me How do you replace a legend7, said the 53-year-old Lanham, who has no previous 'Victories are more important.

The league has also asked a federal appeals court to overturn a $49 million damage award to the Raiders and the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum The city scored a major victory when the state Supreme Court ruled that eminent domain could be used to obtain intangible property, possibly including a sports franchise The case was then returned to Superior Court to decide whether Oakland would be acquiring the team for a proper public use under the law Monterey County Superior Court Judge Nat Agliano has ruled against Oakland three separate times, most recently last month, and has been reversed twice After the latest ruling, the city asked the 1st District Court of Appeal for an immediate injunction to return the Raiders to Oakland When that was denied, Oakland went to the state Supreme Court, which rejected the request Thurs ing suit to establish the right to buy the team through eminent domain, the same power governments use to condemn land for highways The Raiders, currently defending NFL champions, moved from Oakland to Los Angeles before the 1982 season after winning an antitrust suit that struck down a league rule requiring approval of three fourths of the owners to move a team The NFL is appealing the antitrust case to the Supreme Court, and Oakland has been seek day. In a separate action, Oakland has asked the 1st District Court of Appeal to overturn Aglianos latest ruling, which said, among other things, that a city could not own an NFL team That appeal may take a year to decide With four votes needed on tne seven-member court, only Justice Cruz Reynoso voted to grant a hearing.
