ANAHEM, Calif. — John McNamara has resigned as manager of the California Angels, club officials announced yesterday.
A team spokesman said that McNamara had been offered the job for another year but decided after several conversations with General Manager Mike Port to resign.
"While I'm pleased the Angels wanted me back, I feel it's time for a change," he said in a statement. "Buzzie Bavasi hired me in 1983, and now that he has retired I think it is in the best interest of the club if I leave at this time."

"He's an ice pitcher," said Tiger second baseman Lou Whitaker after watching Morris consistently bail out of trouble
SAN DIEGO — Jack Morris turned in a gritty pitching performance and Larry Herndon smashed a two-run fifth innings homer, leading the Detroit Tigers to a 3-2 triumph over the San Diego Padres in the first game of the World Series last night.
Morris allowed two runs in the first inning on a two-run double by Terry Kennedy, but he finished strong and struck out nine as he quilted the crowd of 57,908.
The best-of-seven series continues at San Diego Jack Murphy Stadium tonight with Dan Petry pitching for the Tigers and Ed Whittington going for the Padres
"He overmatched us." Padres manager Dick Williams said. "He wasn't the Jack Morris we knew in the first inning, but
after the fifth inning he started throwing like he can."
Herrdon put the Tigers ahead 3-2 with an opponent-field blast off loser Mark Thurmond with two in out of the fifth inning after a double by Lance Parrish
Morris, a 19-game winner during the regular season, scattered eight inits and walked three for his second post-season victory this year. He beat Kansas City in the first game of the AL playoffs.
After giving up a two-run double in the first, Morris pitched out of a jam in the third, fifth, sixth and seventh innings with the aid of his strikeout pitch and fine defense.
His strongest effort — in the game's most dramatic moment — came in the sixth. After giving up singles to Graig Nettles and Kennedy, he struck out Bobby Brown, Carmelo Martinez and Garry Templeton in a tie.
Soccer club to face K-State
By PHIL ELLENBECKER Associate Sports Editor
Before the KU Kansas State football game begins at 1:30 p.m. Saturday afternoon, football of another sort will be played between the KU and K-State soccer club.
between the KC and P State. The two teams, who have already played each other twice this season, will square off at 11 a.m. at K-State's old football stadium
at 11 a.m. at K-State's bus station stadium. The KU club evened its season record at 1-1- by tying K-State 2-2 last Saturday in Hutchinson, K-State led 2-0 at halftime, but KU tied the game in the second half on goals by Keith Paton and Reid Nelson.
by Keith F. Paton and Theo Nedens.
Nelson said the club's second-half defensive effort was led by Muhammed Matka from his centerback position.
"He basically stopped KState from scoring in the second half," Nelson said. "We had no substitutes, so we had to go all the way with the eleven people we had. KState had nine substitutes."
the subway.
The game was played to raise money for the Hutchinson Youth Soccer League. Nelson said a good sized crowd attended.
Earlier this season, KU detected K State 2-1 and lost to Southwest Missouri State.
Home and away matches with Wichita State and a home match against Baker, as
well as a tournament at K-State, are scheduled later in the season. The team practices and plays its matches on the football fields at 23rd and Iowa Streets.
Soccer club coach Jim Meal said the team usually has four or five substitutes for its matches. However, one of the four cars the team took to Hutchinson broke down in Emporia, leaving the team with no substitutes.
Meal, who is in his first year as the club's coach, said that around 49 people showed for this year's first meeting of the soccer club. Some were scared away when Meal told them he only wanted players that were willing to sacrifice and develop as a team and attend practices regularly.
Because the club's members have to pay for gas mileage, the length of their road trips is necessarily curtailed. Meal said.
Meal, who played on the KU club as a freshman and sophomore, said he had noticed a definite increase in soccer interest since he first came to school.
"I remember that in my freshman year, the recreation services intramural soccer league had about 12 teams," he said. "Now, just in the trophies联赛, there are about 20 Greek and 20 independent teams. It's just like softball and football now."
Oilers trade Campbell to Saints
By United Press International
HOUSTON - The Houston Oilers, winners of just three of their last 31 games and winless in 1984, yesterday traded running back Earl Campbell to the New Orleans Saints for their No. 1 draft pick next year.
Campbell, a Heisman Trophy winner at the University of Texas and the National Football League's leading rusher in his first three seasons with the Oilers, will be reunited with his former head coach, Burn Phillips.
"Earl will play this weekend (against the Los Angeles Rams in the Superdome) and play just he's been here all year," said Phillips, now the Saints' head coach.
"Earl and I are friends, but you don't trade for players because they re your friends I've had to trade away some of my best friends since I've been in this business," said Phillips
Phillips and Campbell, who was unavailable for comment yesterday, helped the Gilers to some of the greatest years in the 25-year history of the franchise. In Campbell's first two seasons with the team, Houston reached the AFC title game, only to lose to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
After Houston was eliminated in the first round of the 1980 playoffs, Phillips was fired by Oilers' owner Bud Adams. The Oilers promptly turned into a losing football club Campbell's statistics dwindled as well.
In Houston's six games this year, Campbell had gained just 278 yards in 96 carries, an average of 2.9 yards per rush.
"The Saints called regarding Earl's availability," said General Manager Ladd Herzeg of the Oilers. "But it was an extremely difficult decision because he has meant so much to this franchise.
"However, when they offered a No. 1 in next year's draft, it was difficult for us to turn it down. I believe this trade is in the best interests of both the Oilers and Earl because it gives us the opportunity to select an outstanding young player next year and it gives Earl the chance at this stage in his career to be bound for the playoffs in 1984.
Campbell gained 1,450 yards during his rookie year of 1978 and added 1,397 and 1,934 the next two seasons — easily the best three-year start in the history of the NFL.
Since then, however, his highest single season total has been 1.276 yards (1980). During an injury-plagied 1982 campaign he gained just 538 yards.
