New USFL coach named PHILADELPHIA (AP)- The Philadelphia franchise in the new United States Football League announ- ced yesterday that its head coach will be Pittsburgh Steelers assistant George Perles and the front office will be run by Philadelphia Eagles official Carl Peterson. The selections, which had been disclosed in published reports, were formally announced by the team's owners-Arthur Powell, Harold Schaef- fer and Myles Tanenbaum. PERLES, 47, had been an assistant with the National Football League's Steelers for 10 years and defensive coordinator since 1978. He has been credited with putting together Pit- tsburgh's "Steel Curtain" defense, a major factor in the club's four Super Bowl triumphs. Peterson, 39, who had been director of player personnel for the NFL Eagles, will be general manager and a 10 per- cent owner of the new franchise and run the team's daily operations. The team has no name or any players in a league that is scheduled to begin its first season in March 1983 with 20 regular-season games plus playoffs and a championship to be held July 4. EAGLES COACH Dick Vermeil said he was sorry to see Peterson leave, but that the club could not stand in his way. "I'm emotionally down in losing Carl, but I'm excited for the opportunity they've given him," Vermeil said. ". . . It's our (the Eagles') philosophy that we should never stand in the way of a person that has a chaice to improve himself and his situation." Charboneau demoted CHARLESTON, W.Va.

The Raiders, under the agreement, would build 150 private luxury boxes and have the right to offer the suites for lease, rental or sale to the general public. Chancellor Charles Young of UCLA asked for a delay in the matter, saying that his school and Southern Cal had not been adequately advised of the plans.
