Charley Taylor, pro football's all-time leading receiver for the Washington Redskins, and Willie Brown, a record-breaking cornerback for the Oakland Raiders, were selected Saturday to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The two assistant coaches for today's Super Bowl teams were chosen along with Mike McCormack, former offensive tackle with the Cleveland Browns and now president of the Seattle Seahawks, and Arnie Weinmeister, former defensive tackle for the New York Giants. The voting Saturday was done by the Hall of Fame's 29-member board of selectors made up of sportswriters from each National Football League city.

The four newest members, who increase the Hall of Fame membership to 123, will be formally enshrined July 28 at Canton, Ohio, in ceremonies preceding the Hall of Fame Game, the 1984 NFL exhibition opener between the Seahawks and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Taylor, 42, Washington's receivers coach the last three seasons, began his pro football career as the Redskins' No. 1 draft choice in 1964 out of Arizona State, where he had been a star running back. He also was a running back for his first 2Vi seasons with the 'Skins before being switched to split end. He was the first NFL rookie in 20 years to finish in the top 10 in both rushing and receiving, with his 53 receptions a record for a running back at that time.

In his 13 seasons, all with Washington, Taylor caught a record 649 passes for 9,140 yards and 79 touchdowns. He also rushed for 1,488 yards and 11 touchdowns. He was an eight-time selection to the Pro Bowl game. He retired following the 1977 season, became a Redskins' scout and joined the coaching staff when Joe Gibbs became head coach. Talyor was selected to the Hall of Fame in his second year of eligibility.

Brown, 43, was elected in his first eligible year following the mandatory five-year waiting period. He has been the Raiders' defensive backfield coach since retiring after the 1978 season. After playing his college ball at Grambling, Brown signed with the American Football League's Houston Oilers in 1963, was cut during training camp, then hooked on as a free-agent cornerback with the Denver Broncos of the AFL and became a starter in his rookie season. Before the 1967 season, he was traded to the Raiders, with whom he played 12 years, setting a club record with 38 interceptions. He also played in five AFL Ail-Star games and four AFC-NFC Pro Bowl games.

During his career, Brown intercepted 54 passes, returning them for 472 yards and two TDs. His biggest postseason interception was in Super Bowl XI when he returned the ball a record 75 yards for a TD that clinched Oakland's 32-14 victory over Minnesota. McCormack, 53, was a No. 1 draft choice out of Kansas by the NFL's New York Yankees in 1951, was a Pro Bowl selection as a rookie, then was inducted into the Army. The Yankees folded during McCormack's absence and the Baltimore Colts, who had acquired his contract, traded him to Cleveland in a 15-player deal.

On Jan. 3, 1983, he was named their president and general manager. Weinmeister, 60, is a native of Rhein, Saskatchewan, who played end, fullback and tackle at the University of Washington, a college career interrupted by four years of military service.

Arnold Palmer's eight-stroke lead melted to a two-shot advantage Saturday after a third-round 79 in the 45th PGA Seniors Championship.

That gave him a 54-hole total of 201, 12 shots under par.

He had a 67 in the mild, overcast weather. The group at 203, two off the pace going into the final 18 holes of the chase for a $72,000 first prize, included hometown boy Tom Purtzer, veteran J.C.

Snead and Curtis Strange. Purtzer also had to battle back from a double bogey to score a 67. Snead had an erratic 68 that included six birdies and three bogeys. Strange shot 69. Tied at 204 and very much in the title hunt were two-time U.S.

Open champion Hale Irwin, Lon Hinkle, Johnny Miller and veteran Al Geiberger. Irwin had the best round of the day, a 7-under-par 64. Hinkle shot a 65, Miller 66 and Geiberger, a former PGA champ now in his 25th year of Tour activity, had a 68. Pavin, who took the lead with his day-late finish to the second round, was in and out of the top spot most of the day. He drove into the fringe on the 320 yard, par-4 fifth hole and 2-putted for a birdie, then holed from about eight feet on the next hole.

By The Associated Press PHOENIX, Ariz. Corey Pavin, the leader through three rounds of the $400,000 Phoenix Open Golf Tournament, is a rookie on the American PGA Tour but one who takes a year of globe-trotting experience into today's final 18 holes. "That helps quite a bit," Pavin said of dtilt exPer'ence ne gained in Europe and South Africa last year after he'd failed 1 in his first attempt to gain his Ameri can Tour playing rights. He won three times, including the South African PGA and the German Open. "It was a year ago this week that I won in South Africa," the 24-year-old Pavin said.

"And that gave me some positive thoughts. "I told my wife early in the week that I felt good about my game. "But I'm not even thinking about winning yet. I won't worry about that until the final few holes tomorrow. And it would be nice to go into those holes with a two-shot cushion." He got half of that margin, one stroke, with a 10-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole, the birdie that gave him sole control of the top spot.
