The Oil ers were non-committal whether regulars would see much action and whether Earl Campbell would try to win his second straight NFL rushing title. He was three yards off the lead of St. Louis rookie Ottis Anderson. The Eagles announced early this week they would field their best lineup and give nothing less than a total effort. “I don’t think it’s fair to the team,’ head coach Dick Vermeil said, “to sell one philosophy and then go t 'ennard, Risien on list United Press International K'EW YORK — Ottis Anderson of St. Louis, the running sensation who Sroke Earl Campbell’s year-old fcokie rushing record this season, teads United Press International’s ■79 NFL All-Rookie team jnnounced Thursday. , Rnderson, the former Miami [ ' la star who was the first running ^ selected in the NFL draft in s, 6' w-H,y enters the final game of the rintendentj iurpristtl^| liswoulditl order wo d. refeiw, 1970 egregaticii :ment hail ordered uing tha iceded. an sent ge Halhntl th Circutii Orleans uperinteij had now Id be i now underd shed the in "andwlial|| tablishingil termined.il i what basB| (tC.” write HD I ought ti aid. ■ar El Pasul i action. ikes fret xap ison Sunday leading the NFL in |hing, holding a three-yard advan- |e over Campbell, Houston’s star mer.

A lopsided game would cause Ver- meil to pull his regulars, he admitted. A game being played in Dallas at the same time as the Eagles-Oilers game could give the Eagles hopes that the NFL East title was still in their grasp. Such an occurrence would take both an Eagles win and a tie betwen the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins. Kickoff for the Oilers-Eagles is 3 p.m. CDT. Houston is a spectator in the AFC Central Division denouement. A Pittsburgh Steelers win at Pitt sburgh against the Buffalo Bills Sun day makes the Stelers champion; a Pittsburgh loss makes Houston champion — no matter what the Oil ers do. The Steelers game will end about the time the Oilers kick off. Campbell has taken a battering the past few weeks as he has im proved his rushing total to 1,563 yards. The Cardinals’ Anderson, who this season broke Campbells NFL rookie rushing record, carried 1,566 yards into his game against the Chicago Bears. “It would mean a lot to our offen sive players, ’’ Oilers backfield coach Andy Bourgeois said, “to have block ed for the rushing champion again. ’’ Campbell gained 1,450 yards in his rookie season. The Eagles and Oilers, who have met only once in regular season, both come off highly emotional performances witnessed by club record crowds. The Eagle were beaten by Dallas 24-17. Hous ton beat Pittsburgh 20-17. The Eagles have had more rest than the Oilers, since Philadelphia played on Saturday and Houston on Monday night. Houston, 11-4, can set a club re cord for wins in a season. Philadel phia, 10-5, can keep alive Vermeil’s string of winning the last games of the regular season. On the last weekend of the three previous sea sons, the Eagles have won their fourth, fifth and ninth games. Lady scribe allowed in locker room United Press International DALLAS — The Dallas Cow boys backed down from an initial refusal to allow a female reporter for the Washington Star into the team’s practice field locker room following a complaint to the NFL commissioner. Betty Cuniberti, the reporter, joined about 15 other reporters Wednesday conducting inter views in the locker room. On Tuesday, she had been de nied entrance to the dressing room. Her newspaper contacted NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle and league public relations direc tor Jim Heffernan. ^ The Cowboys changed the team’s policy Wednesday of allowing reporters in the dressing room from 11:30a.m. until 1 p.m. In a story in her newspaper, Cuniberti wrote: “They told me I had to stand outside and they’d let me know if anything hap pened. I said, ‘What if there’s thunder and lightning?’ and they said they have an awning. So, in other words, if Harvey Martin walks up to Roger Staubach and punches him in the mouth while Tom Boswell of the (Washington) Post is interviewing him, some body is supposed to come out under the awning and tell me ab out it.” FARMERS MARKET CATERING 500 ■ CLIP’N’SAVE OFF with coupon FLORIST QUALITY POINSETTIA PLANT 6” POTS — GREAT GIFT IDEA one coupon — SAVE COUPONS FOR nar , MULTIPLE PURCHASES p p 1 COMPLETE CATERING SERVICE LET US CATER YOUR NEXT BAR-B-QUE FUNCTION per plate WE CATER TO ALL CLUB FUNCTIONS — DORMS, SORORITIES, FRATERNITIES, CORPS.
