Brodie, who this season won his first passing title in a 14-year career, heads an offensive unit dominated by National Conference stars in the balloting of sports writers and broadcasters that for the first time en compasses every team in pro football. In previous years, separate all-star teams were selected for the American and National footr ball leagues. Brodie led the offensive bal loting with 59 of a possible 78 votes and was joined on the 24- man All-Pro team by two team mateswide receiver Gene Washington and cornerback Jimmy Johnson Howley was the only member of the Cowboys or the Baltimore Colts, who will meet in Miami, Jan. 17 in the Super Bowl for the National Football League championship, to make the All- Pro elite. In the backfield with Brodie were running backs Larry Brown of Washington and Ron Johnson of the New York Giants while Washington, Dick Gordon of Chicago and tight end Charlie Sanders of Detroit took down the receiving spots.

Rounding out the offensive unit were center Jim Otto of Oakland, guards Gale Gilllng-ham of Green Bay and Gene Upshaw of Oakland, tackles Jim Bishop Hafey HHS MMI Mahanoy Area Marian West Hazleton Weatherly Jim Thorpe Cardinal Brennan (Statistics by 7 7 7 6 5 5 3 2 0 0 ings on the cause of death. He called for toxicological and microscopic studies of body fluids and tissues. The coroner's office said results may not be known until Friday or Saturday. Asked if drugs coutd have caused the death, a spokesman would say only: "Nothing has been ruled out." Liston, one of 20 children of a tenant farmer at Forrest City, won the heavyweight crown Sept. 25, 1962, with a first-round knockout of Floyd Patterson in Chicago.

He repeated the feat in a return match with Patterson, then lost the title to Cassius Clay, now Muhammad Ali, Feb. 25, 1964. Claiming injury to his left arm, Liston sat scowling on his stool and refused to come out for the seventh round. The 6-foot-l, 215-pounder's most recent fight was last June 29 when he knocked out Chuck Wepner in nine rounds in Jersey City, N.J. His record in 52 bouts dating to 1953 was 48 wins, 37 of them by knockouts, and 4 losses.

"I have been In the limelight two ways good and bad," he once said. The "bad" was a reference to frequent brushes with the law. He admitted being involved in a holdup and other crimes and served prison terms Jerry Williams to Stay As Eagles' Head Coach Bruce Taylor Defensive Rookie of Year in NFL Brown of Los Angeles and place-klcker Jan Stcnerud of Kansas City. The Chiefs, who finished lec- ond to the Raiders in the Ameri can Conference's Western Divi sion, also placed three men on the defensive unit. The total of five gave them more representation than any other team.

The other Chiefs landing berths were outside linebacker Bobby Bell, cornerback James Marsalls and safety Johnny Robinson. Besides the Chiefs, only four other AFC playeri were named to the team while the NFC took 15 positions. The 49ers were the NFC lead er with three while Chicago, Loi Angeles and Minnesota each had Middle linebacker Dick But- kus was the other member of the Bears to make it while defensive tackle Merlin Olsen was the other Rams' representative. The two Vikings named were defensive end Carl Eller and de fensive tackle Alan Page, the leading defensive vote-getter with 52 votes. Rounding out the defensive unit were Rich Jackson of Denver at end, Larry Wilson of St.

Louis at safety and Dave Lewis of Cincinnati as the team's punter. The closest voting occurred In the battle for two running back spots with Brown, Johnson, Floyd Little of Denver and MacArthur Lane of St. Louis in a tight struggle. Brown received 44 votes, Johnson 37, Little 32 and Lane 29. Little, however, did grab one of the running back spots on an AUnAFC team put together In a breakdown of the voting.

Aa All-NFC team also was selected. Instead of Buffalo Bills' quarterback Dennis Shaw. Taylor added that he was very happy with his rookie year and said he wouldn't seek more money on his three-year contract. Its terms have not been disclosed. The 22-year-old bachelor from Perth Amboy, N.J., spent several days vacationing at Lake Tahoe following the 49ers loss to Dallas last Sunday for the NFL's National Conference title.

"I thought we could have gone all the way," said Taylor, reflecting on the 49ers remarkable season. But he attributed his team's loss to the Cowboya "getting the breaks when they counted" and to the Dallas offense which did "one heck of a job." Jim Files, the New York Giants middle linebacker from Oklahoma, was second with 14 votes in the balloting that en compassed both the National and American conferences. Previously, separate polls were conducted for the National and American football leagues. Others receiving votes included fellow 49ers teammate Ced-ric Hardman, as well as backs Ken Ellis of Green Bay, Lemar Parrish of Cincinnati and Jake Scott of Miami, end Jim Mitchell of Detroit and linebacker Bob Babich of San Diego. The Detroit Tigers' Montgom ery farm club lost the 1970 Southern League pennant by one percentage point on the next-to-last day of the season.

The $110,000 event is the first stop on an expanded, richer than-ever-swing for the tourists, with 63 tournaments, valued at more than $7 million, on sched ule. Casper, who won this tournament last year when it was called the Los Angeles Open, had such a severe cold he spoke only in a hoarse whisper in Wednesday's pro-am event. "I think its a little better now but it's still pretty bad," said the Masters champion and 1970 PGA player of the year. Palmer, who failed to win an individual title last season for the first time In 15 years, pulled an old, old putter out of his vast collection in an effort to solve his putting problem.

"It's one I used years ago, when I was first starting out," laidithe 41-year-old champion the, game's all-time leading money winner and greatest gate "I've tried almost everything changing clubs, changing my grip and stance and stroke. So I thought I'd try this," he said. Even with his woes, Palmer was fifth on the money list last season and is one of the favor ites for the $22,000 first prize in the 72-hold tournament on the Kancho Park Golf Club course. Probably the top candidate for Casper's title, however, is Lee Trevino, the flambouyant Mexican-American who finished the 1970 season as the money and exemption point leader and winner of the Vardon Trophy.

SALTZMAN Associated Press Writer LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP) -Extra tests were ordered Wednesday to determine what killed former heavyweight boxing champion Charles "Sonny" Lls-ton, found dead with needle marks on his arms and heroin and marijuana elsewhere in the house, authorities said. An autopsy earlier Wednes day failed to uncover the cause of the 38-year-old fighter's death, and minute medical tests were ordered. Liston's widow, Geraldine, found the body Tuesday night sprawled in the master bed room of their $60,000 spnt-iev-el home.

Sheriff's deputies said death might have occurred as long as 10 days ago. Mrs. Liston said she flew home from a visit to St. Louis because she had no answer to calls dating bacx to the day after Christmas. Capt.

Gene Clark, chief of de tectives for the sheriff's depart ment, said a quarter-ounce of heroin was found in a balloon in the kitchen, and half an ounce of marijuana was found in Liston's trousers pocket. Clark said no narcotics paraphernalia, such as a hypodermic needle, was found but mat were were several puncture marks on each arm.

Allen says he won' take a job unless It is coach-gen eral manager, which apparently eliminated him since Tose ia sists Retzlaff stays. Stram is still under contract to Kansas City, and Landry's position at Dallas appears solid with the Cowboys in the Super Bowl.

Tose still is on vacation but is expected home Thursday. He probably will confer with Retzlaff and announce that Williams will be back. The Eagles owner said he would clarify the coach ing position no later than two weeks before the Jan. 28 NFL player draft. Williams defended his two year record of 7-19-2, insisting that progress has been made that isn't reflected by the won-loss He left after the season to scout college bowl and all-star games.

Retzlaff, who would like to retain Williams, also is out-of-town on a player scouting trip. Tyler Palmer Steals Show BERGHESGADEN, Germany (AP) Jean Noel Augert saved the French from an otherwise embarrasing day by winning the first Alpine special slalom of the season Wednesday, but a young American daredevil stole the show. Unheralded Tyler Palmer, a 20-year-old from Kearsarge, N.H., upstaged his better known teammates by flashing to a fourth place finish, his highest placing since he joined the Eu ropean circuit last year. Palmer had started back in the 46th pole two-race event and had a brilliant run of 1 minute, .16 seconds. His second run was clocked in 1:03:05 for a com bined time of 2:03.21.

Augert, after finishing the first race second to Gustavo Thoeni of Italy, sped over the second Icy track on Jenner Mountain in 1:02.65 for a total 1:59.55 to become the only Frenchman to finish in the top 10, an unusual situation for the normally dominate French. Thoeni, the world's top special slalom skier finished the first race through 67 gates, in 55.99 seconds, was unable to hold the track on the second run and abandoned the race. Heini Messner, leading a strong Austrian challenge that placed four skiers In the first 10, finished second to Augert with runs of 58.93 and 1:03.80 for 2:02.01 cn the treacherous slopes that were 530 feet long and dropped 180 meters. The second run was through 75 gates. Messner, a downhill specialist, was ninth after the first run.

Max Rieger of West Germany was third In 2:02.78 as the Icy track took Its toll on many of the top names. Sonny Liston found in the bedroom was not identified. Liston, the champ for 17 months in the 1960s, apparently was undressing to go to bed when he fell over backward with such force he broke the rail of a bench. He was wearing only a t-shirt. Clark ruled out any possibility that Liston was slain.

A pathologist, Dr. James Clarke, said after an autopsy that he made no conclusive find Redskins Take Over Redskins President Edward Bennett Williams said Allen will be general manager, as well as head coach, but declined to disclose length or terms of his contract. However, he hinted it was a very lengthy pact. Allen, flying here for the news conference, said, "I am looking forward to having a lot of success with the Redskins." Williams said Allen will have all the authority over the club that the late Vince Lombardi was given when Williams lured him away from green Bay for the job offered to Allen two years ago. Allen's five-year totals with the Rams round out to an average record of 10-3-1 with a team that averaged fewer than four victories a year for the five years' before he arrived.

His 1970 Rams were 9-4-1, second to San Francisco in the National Conference West Division. The departure of Austin, and the arrival of Allen, was no surprise to fans here who were deluged with speculation in the newspapers and on the air with out hearing any disclaimers from Redskins President Edward Bennett Williams. It was undestood Williams became completely disenchanged with Austin after the Redskins went Into a five-game losing streak midway through the 1970 season following an optimistic exhibition and early season. They ended with a record of 6-8 in the NFC East Division. Detroit U.

Teammate Rucker topped all icoreri with 21 points. STATEONE, Nev.

Taylor, who was credited with keying San Francisco's upset win over Minnesota during the playoffs, was named after receiving 23 votes by a special AP panel of sports writers and sportscasters. "I thought I had a good chance to be picked for the de fensive title, but I tried not to think about it the last few weeks, but a lot of people have been telling me about it." Taylor said he thought Dallas running back Duane Thomas would be named AP'i offensive rookie of the year and was surprised to learn of the selection By RALPH BERNSTEIN Associated Press Sports Writer PHILADELPHIA (AP) Owner Leonard Tose has decii ed to keep Jerry Williams as head coach of the National Footr ball League's Philadelphia Ea gles, a source close to Tose laid today. The source disclosed that Tose told him last week that Williams would return to complete the third year of a three-year coa tract.

Tose made his decision while vacationing in Florida Dissatisfied with his team's 3-10-1 record in the NFL's Na tional Conference this past season, Tose blamed Williams and his coaching staff for the Ea gles low finish. Prior to the last game of the season, against Pittsburgh, Tose said he would re-evaluate club personnel from the general manager on down if the Eagles didn't post a con vincing victory. The Eagles defeated the Steel- ers 30-20, and in a clubhouse corridor, Tose said general manager Pete Ketziatrs jod never had been in jeopardy, but that he still hadn't decided on Williams. At a news conference the day after the season ended Tose in dicated he would fire Williams if he could find a now head coach with a professional win ning background. 'If we don't come up with anybody." Tose said, "it will make sense to announce as soon as possible that Jerry will be back." Tose said at the time, "I'm leaving shortly for a holiday at which time I will subjectively, honestly and sincerely think about it (the coaching situation)." Apparently Tose has been un able to come up with his idea of a coach with a winning background and has decided to stick with Williams.

"Ever since I was born I've been fighting to stay alive," he liked to say. Liston had lived in recent years in the plush suburb of Paradise Valley, fighting only occasionally. The home, two miles east of the Las Vegas "Strip," has a swimming pool and borders a golf course. Sheriff's Lt. Bud Gregg said the television set was on in the master bedroom.

Liston's socks were under the bed bench and his trousers were thrown over a chair. A finger nail file was on the floor under the body. On the dresser was a unfired pistol in a holster. Ski Report HARRISBURG (AP) The State Commerce Department Wednesday 8 a.m. ski report for Pennsylvania.
