By Gary Taylor UPI Sports Writer HOUSTON — Gifford Nielsen withstanding, the Hous ton Oilers’ offense opens up this season a la the San Francisco 19ers. The change from Earl Camp bell left, Earl Campbell right and Earl Campbell over center has been coming for two sea sons, but something always has impeded the progress of, first, Bum Phillips and then Ed Biles. At mid-season 1980 the Oil ers decided Kenny Stabler couldn’t direct their new open attack so former coach Phillips traded for tight end Dave Cas per and went back to a running offense. In the pre-season of 1981, the new No. 1 quarter back, Nielsen, suffered a shoul der inrury so Stabler was lured out of retirement to hand off to Campbell. During a disappointing 7-9 season last year, foreign bodies impeded Campbell and made it imperative that the Oilers attack with other weapons. “Earl will still be the focal point of our offense, but he won’t be the only point,” Biles said. See OILERS page 8 United Press International The slumping Atlanta Braves, with the memory of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ sweep of their four- game series last weekend still fresh, are preparing to meet them again — this time in Los Angeles. Wednesday, although the Braves dropped their sixth in the last seven games and the Dodgers won their sixth of seven and the Braves’ Western Division lead dwindled to 5Vz games, they were welcoming the challenge. “I think it is a great time to be playing the Dodgers — to get a little payback,” said Bob Hor ner, who slugged his 23rd homer in Atlanta against San Francisco before the Giants came back to win, 3-2. “We’ve always played well in Los Angeles.” Joe Morgan lined a two-out single to right field in the ninth inning, scoring pinch-runner Max Venable to give the Giants the victory. Greg Min ton set the Braves down in order in the ninth to earn his 18th save. Atlanta Manager Joe Torre wasn’t worried ab out the four-game showdown which begins tonight. “The good part is we’re going to be showing up in a new ballpark and we can forget about the memories of the past week,” he said. “You’ve got to look at positive things.” In other games, Los Angeles downed Cincinna ti, 8-2, the New York Mets topped the Chicago Cubs, 7-4, Philadelphia edged Montreal, 5-4, San Diego defeated Houston, 5-2, and Pittsburgh beat St. Louis, 5-2.
