The Index-Journal, Greenwood, S.C., Jan. 8, 1981. 7 Redskins hunt new coach Cleveland State stops Gamecocks 1 i ft A tl.l "'V, )f home that "with any job I took, I would have to have complete control of the football program." Asked if he was interested in the job, Allen said "it isn't right for me to comment on anything like that at this time. It's distasteful, like talking when somebody has passed away." Meanwhile, the Redskin players expressed surprise and what some termed shock at the news of Pardee's dismissal. "I hate it," said Ken Houston, who was benched during much of 1980, his final season with the team.

"I hate it for him. Last year he was coach of the year. This year, we didn't win as many as we should have. It wasn't his fault." Pardee, who still has two years to go on his five-year contract, was dismissed as the result of what was termed philosophical differences between him and Beathard over the future of the team. Pardee could not be reached for comment Monday night, despite repeated telephone calls to his home.

Allen coached the Redskins from 1971 until his firing at the end of the 1977 season. According to today's editions of The Washington Post, two men are reportedly at the top of Beathard's list John Robinson, coach at the University of Southern California, and former Oakland Raider Coach John Madden. And, the newspaper said, a list of highly regarded NFL assistants includes Joe Gibbs, offensive coordinator for San Diego; Dan Reeves, offensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys: Tom Bass, defensive coordinator at Tampa Bay; Dick Coury the Philadelphia Eagles' wide receiver coach George Perles, the Pittsburgh Steeler's defensive coordinator; and Marty Schot-tenheimer, the Cleveland Browns' defensive coordinator. A move by Cooke to Allen would be a surprise. Allen, who said Monday he had not been contacted by the Redskins, noted in an interview from his Palos Verdes.

WASHINGTON AP) Bobby Beathard, the general manager of the Washington Redskins, was to fly to the West Coast today to begin the search for a replacement for Jack Pardee, who was fired Monday as the team's head coach. Beathard indicated he probably would look for a successor to Pardee among the ranks of assistant coaches in the National Football League, but would not rule out the possibility of a return by former coach George Allen. Redskins owner Jack Kent Cooke, who fired the 44 year-old Pardee, said nothing about a possible replacement. Beathard said that if the choice came down to an assistant in the professional ranks or a college coach, he most likely would go with the man from the NFL. The general manager said he did not intend to talk to Allen on this trip, but "it 's not up to me to eliminate him.

Mr. Cooke is going to hire the coach." for for als uc- ro-im tin wire report Senior guard Frank Edwards and junior forward Darren Tillis combined for 61 points to lead Cleveland State to an 82-76 basketball victory over South Carolina in Columbia Monday night. Edwards, at 6-1 was red hot as he hit 38 points, and Tillis contributed 23. No other Viking player was even close to double figures. Cleveland State led by 10 at the half, 37-27, but South Carolina came back to take a 51 50 lead on a shot by Brad Jergenson with 13: 16 to play.

The lead changed hands repeatedly for the next eight minutes until Mike Sweeney hit two free throws with 5:28 left to give Cleveland State a 66-65 advantage. Tillis hit a basket to make it 68-65 and then Edwards scored the final 14 Cleveland State points, including a critical three- point play with 1:24 left that leased the Vikings out front 75-71 Edwards went to the foul line for the final seven points that put the game out of South Carolina's reach. Following the battle of NCAA Division I independents, Cleveland State was 7-2 and South Carolina, under first-year coach Bill Foster, was 7-5. The loss snapped a modest six-game Gamecock win streak. Zam Fredrick led the Gamecocks with 22 and Kenny Holmes had 20 points.

Erskine dumps Pacers, 80-72 DUE WEST Erskine played one of its better games of the year Monday night and dumped defending NAIA District 6 champion USC-Aiken 80-72, running its record to 6-4. Getting good performances from the subs again, the Flying Fleet took a four-point halftime margin and had three players in double figures. Bill Shain, named to the all-tournament team in the Sertoma Classic over the weekend in Greenwood, topped the scoring with 24 points.

Davis Marshall added 1 1 and Dennis Siemer contributed 16. Chuck Orr led the Pacers with 23 points. A close contest was opened to a 43-34 Erskine lead as the Flying Fleet scored six unanswered points early in the second half. The Pacers got as close as five points but couldn't catch up.

We don't have the talent to get in a running game ith most teams." The Sonics got a big lift late in the third quarter from guard Vinnie Johnson. He scored 12 points in the game's final 18 minutes after not playing against Philadelphia Friday. "It's hard to play five guards" Seattle Coach Lenny Wilkens said. "It showed me he wanted it.

arrival, he traded O.J. Simpson to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for a bunch of draft choices. The Bills' new era was under way. "We didn't set a timetable," Knox said of the Bills' rebuilding. "We just wanted to get competitive as soon as we could." Their offense was competitive, to say the least, thanks in part to rookie running back Joe Cribbs, who gained 1,185 yards.

But it was the defense Knox's specialty which made them so competitive this year. The defense which had been ranked 14th in the league in 1979 was the best in the NFL in 1980. When the Bills' division title was secure, linebacker Shane Nelson said pointedly: "This season is no fluke." Like the Bills, the Falcons surged to surprising prominence in 1980. Under Bennett's guidance, they won their first division championship ever, beating out the Los Angeles Rams in the National Football Conference West with a 12-4 record. And, like the Bills, Atlanta was stung in its first playoff game this year, beaten 30-27 by Dallas.
