LOS ANGELES — Former heavyweight champion Ken Norton yesterday was progressing well from surgery to repair a fractured jaw and skull suffered in a freeway traffic accident, hospital officials said.
"He continues to make smooth medical progress," said Ron Wise, spokesman for Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. "We are going to keep him for at least another day in the critical unit so doctors can monitor him closely. For that
reason, he's still listed in serious but stable condition. We are looking forward to moving him into his own room. hopefully tomorrow."
Norton, 40, was injured Sunday night when his 1978 Excelsur went over the side of the Santa Monica Freeway near Vermont Avenue, California Highway Patrol officer Manny Anvila said.
Tampa names coach
TAMPA. Fla. — Jim Stanley, who coached the Michigan Panthers to the USFL championship in 1983, yesterday was named defensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League.
Stanley, 51, has reached a verbal agreement with Tampa Bay to replace Doug Shively, who resigned as defensive coordinator Feb. 4 to join the coaching staff of the Houston Oilers. Stanley is expected to sign a Buccaneer contract next week.
Stanley, a former Texas A&M offensive lineman will rejoin Tampa Bay head coach Leeman Bennett.
Stanley served as Bennett's defensive line coach in Atlanta from 1980 to 1982. The next year, Stanley guided the Panthers to a 12-6 mark as Michigan won the title in the inaugural season of the United States Football League.
Bengal wants trade
CINCINNATI — Discontented quarterback Turk Schnorch, who has asked the Cincinnati Bengals to trade him, said yesterday that the Atlanta Falcons were the team most interested in acquiring him.
"There is no deal about to be made right now, but Atlanta is the team most on my mind right now," Schonert said.
"My agent told me when I got back from Australia last week that the Falcons had been showing the most interest of any team, and to this point, we've talked more with them than anyone else," he said.
Atlanta coach Dan Henning confirmed that the Faleons were interested in Schonert.

Winfield skips first practice
United Press International
What would baseball be without some sort of controversy involving the New York Yankees?
It didn't take very long for controversy to erupt in the Yankees' spring training camp at Fort Lauderdale, Fla. On the day the regulars were to report, right fielder Dave Winfield was absent yesterday without an excuse.
Rickey Henderson, who had an excuse, and Winfield were the only absentees among the first-string players as manager Lou Pininiella put the sound through its first workout.
Henderson was given permission by the Yankees to report on Friday because of root-canal treatment he was receiving on his teeth in Oakland, Calif., where he lives. Winfield, however, did not inform the Yankees he would not be in camp and was simply a no-show.
Under terms of the Basic Agreement, position players other than catchers and pitchers do not have to report to spring training until March 5. But all the Yankees were in camp with the exception of the two outfielders and Dan Pasqua, who earlier in the week was given permission to report late because of the death of his mother.
Yankee principal owner George Steinbrenner, who has feuded openly with Winfield over numerous issues in the past, refused to criticize outwardly the $23 million right fielder this time, but indicated privately his annoyance that Winfield did not bother to call with any excuse for missing camp.
Meanwhile, at the Baltimore

Orioles' camp in Miami, Fla., infielder Jackie Gutierrez reported, but speculation persists that the club is seeking to reverse the trade that brought him from Boston.
Spring Training
According to reports, the Orioles have appealed to Brown to have Gutierrez returned to the Red Sox because of the erratic behavior the infielder displayed during the offseason.
Hank Peters, the Orioles general manager, departed for Dallas yesterday afternoon to attend a major league owner's meeting. Peters also plans to meet with American League President Bobby Brown.
*Bargain Show
Gutierrez, who had been in Baltimore to undergo physical and psychological tests, said he was not upset with the club's request that he undergo the tests.
"They had to check me out and I wasn't afraid," Gutierrez said. "There's nothing I don't want on the table."
The Orioles say only that Gutierrez is in camp now, but won't speculate on his future with the club.
At St. Petersburg, Fla., the New York Mets made a trade that could improve their bench strength when they signed veteran left-handed first baseman Tim Corcoran to a minor-league contract.
Corcoran, 32, who was designated for assignment by the Phillies on Dec. 10 and released 10 days later, was signed to a Triple-A contract after working out in California. He will arrive at the Mets' major-league camp tomorrow and be given every
opportunity to make the club.
Corcoran, an outfitier and first baseman, would give the Mets some insurance at first in case commissioner Peter Uebroeth hits Keith Hernandez with a suspension due to his testimony at the Pittsburgh drug trials last year.

"At some point this season, we feel Tim will contribute to our club," said Mets' vice president Joe McIlvaine.
Appearing in 103 games for the Philadelphia Phillies last year, Corcoran hit .214 in 182 at-bats with no homers and 22 RBI. He went 4-for-32 as a pinch hitter. In 184, Corcoran hit .341 with five home runs and 36 Corcoran BRI going to 10 for 37 as a pinch hitter.

First base was a problem for the Philies last year, but the club hopes to rectify the situation by shifting Von Hayes to first from center field.
Hayes appears delighted with the move, which would freeride him from being on the board base.
The full squad is not due to report to spring training camp until tomorrow, but Hayes showed up yesterday and worked out at first base.
SMITTY'S TV
Hayes, who played first base regularly in college but only sparingly in the major leagues, impressed Philies manager John Felske with his agility around the bag and the way he handled ground balls.

Hayes was shifted to first after the Philies acquired Milt Thompson from Atlanta and installed him in center, surrounded by newcomer Gary Redus, obtained from Cincinnati, and Glenn Wilson in right.
"Von is a real good athlete," Felske said. "We don't expect him to have much trouble moving from the outfield."
Olympic committee designates air carrier
United Press International
NEW YORK — An historic agreement that could generate up to $200 million for the worldwide Olympic movement was signed yesterday, beginning a new era of commercial cooperation.
The marketing committee consists of members from the International Olympic Committee, the Seoul and Calgary Organizing Committees and the United States Olympic Committee.
Coca-Cola was actually the first company to be designated as a principal sponsor, but Federal Express' signing marked the first time that all of the involved parties were brought together.
Juergen Lenz, executive vice president of ISL, the exclusive marketing agent for the IOC, said about 30 companies covering 44 product categories were expected to sign up as official sponsors before the 1988 Olympics — the Winter Games in Calgary, Canada, and the Summer Games in Seoul. South Korea.
Lenz said it was difficult to estimate how much revenue these companies could be expected to contribute to the Olympic movement, but he projected the figure to be between $178 to $200 million.
For the first time, members of the International Olympic Marketing Committee came together for a joint announcement, heralding the addition of Federal Express as the official air carrier for the 1988 Olympics.
Bill Breen, president of ISL Marketing USA, said the signing of several more companies, including Eastman Kodak, was expected shortly.
ISL, headquartered in Lucerne,
Switzerland, signed on as the official
sales agent for the Olympics in May.
Through a program called TOP (The
Olympic Program), sponsors can
sign up for both the 1988 Winter and
Summer Games on a global and
product-exclusive basis.
The revenue raised through these commercial ventures will go to the two organizing committees, the USOC and the IOC, which will distribute money to national Olympic committees.
