HOUSTON ( AP) Jerry Glam iile, who took charge of the Houston Oilers on an interim basis for the final two games of the 1985 season, on Monday was named head coach of the National Football League team. Glanville had to survive a lengthy search by Oilers General Manager Ladd Herzeg and the scrutiny of owner Bud Adams before winning out over two other finalists San Francisco 49ers quarterback coach Paul Hackett and Dick Coury, former head coach of the United States Football League's Portland Breakers. The plan for this job is to have us work together as an organization, conGlanville, who signed a five-yetract, said at a news conference. "Players will be injured and move on but the organization will stand. Other teams will be looking at us because we will win. Adams, who has remained in the organization's background over the past five years, said he was again becoming visible because he wanted a family atmosphere. Ive been laid back for the last five years and I dont think that's conducive to a winning ball club," Adams said. I dont even know some of the players. If were going to have loyalty, theyre going to have to know the owner. Herzeg said he was surprised that Glanville eventually was named Green Bay Drops d , Ozzie Virgil Traded to Braves Ex - Ute Del - GREEN BAY (AP) Defensive lineman Terry Jones and running back Del Rodgers, two Green Bay Packers who spent the 1985 season on the injured reserve list, have been told their contracts will be allowed to expire, the National Football League team said Monday.

Like many Utah skiing trails, it could use some new snow. And, like numerous closed canyon roads, it does get some snowmobiling pressure. Yet, for a middle of the week skiing trip which isn't far from the city, it can provide a quiet respite. Canyon roads like the one to East Canyon are particularly good places for novice skiers to enjoy, largely because they provide a gentle uphill hike with a wide and easy trail back down. Thats a fact that Jeff Hickam of Salt Lake noticed on a recent trip. It's a good course for beginners, he said. Its pretty level until you get to the top. If you make it to the top, then chances advanced." are your a little more His wife Shelly agreed. "Im just learning and this is an easy place to learn," she said. The trip to the top of the summit would take several hours. It is almost 20 miles to East Canyon Reservoir. But, another advantage in taking a closed canyon road is that you can turn back at any time. Thus, on the East Canyon road, a person can get his 30 minutes of vigorous exercise in the sun or enjoy an tour. The area is in Salt Lake Citys watershed, so dog's arent allowed. The canyon is patrolled on a fairly regular basis so its best to leave your dog at home and avoid getting a ticket. The scenery along the road is a bit different than a skier might see in other Wasatch Front Canyons. Instead of high, sharp mountain peaks covered with pine trees, the terrain here consists of rolling hills and oak trees. These rolling hills provide some inviting trails which would provide telemarkers with some steeper places to try their turns. all-da- y Its possible to enjoy listening to a which flows a few hundred yards below the road. brook coach.

Herzeg said Glanville, an NFL assistant coach for 12 years, was the person who could get the maximum potential from our football talent in the shortest possible time.
