By Ferd Lewis Advertiser Staff Writer What's all this talk that Michigan's Bo Schembechler can't win a bowl game? Nonsense is what it is. In fact, he's one victory away from being the winningest coach in Hula Bowl history. Rose Bowls are another story, of course, but here in Hawaii "I'm undefeated here," Schembe t- 1 .1 chler said with a chuckle, preparing to put that record on the line today in the 41st Hula Bowl. kfl Irirni n.

his third consecutive Hula Bowl victory. Schembechler, the winningest active major college coach, has victories in his two previous Hula Bowl assignments (1974 and '80). He also has one regular-season victory here, a 27-10 triumph over the University of Hawaii last month. That's a far cry from Pasadena where he is 1-7 in the Rose. Bowl.

Overall, Schembechler is 3-11 in post-season games other than all-star contests. He should do better here in part because he brought his quarterback with him, Jim Harbaugh. Harbaugh led the nation in passing efficiency in 1985 and was second to Heisman Trophy winner Vinny Testaverde of Miami this year. Harbaugh passed for 2,557 yards and 10 touchdowns season. The last four head coaches who brought their quarterbacks with them have been winners in the Hula Bowl and it is not exactly a coincidence.

"Their implementation has to be a lot easier with his own man here," said Air Force coach Fisher DeBerry, who will coach the West defense. "Oh, yah, it will help, but it's not everything," Schembechler said. Nor is Harbaugh the only show for the East which also has three of the five United Press International all-America selections in the game. Foremost among them is Temple's Paul Palmer, the nation's leading running back and all-purpose runner. Probable starters on C-2 There are five players in the game with Hawaii ties and two of them, defensive lineman Levi Esene (San Diego State via Nanakuli High) and fullback Tim Manoa (Penn State via Kahuku) are listed as tentative starters.

Other players with island ties are: tight end Ron Hall and linebacker M. L. Johnson who played at U1I and Kahuku graduate Stan Mataele. who played at the University of Arizona. West coach Jackie Sherrill of Texas is looking for his second victory in the Hula Bowl after winning his first one with the East in 1983.

Proceeds from the game go to the University of Hawaii Foundation and the Hawaii Newspaper Agency Charities. EXTRA POINTS Tim Manoa and Stan Mataele, both natives of Tonga, attended Kahuku High and played rugby together but this game will be the first time they've been on the same football field together. Mataele never played football in high school. Coaches in the Hula Bowl said they feel the new limit on scholarships (maximum of 25 per year compared with 30 previously) will have a positive affect on the game. "The main thing it does is force you to do a better job of walch dogging academically so you get people who can do the work and not flunk out." said Ldtry Smith, a West assistant and USC head coach.

SAN DIEGO One thing has become increasingly clear at recent NCAA conventions: the big-time college sports pendulum has swung about as far in the direction of professional and financial excesses as the responsible presidents and chancellors of our major universities will permit it to go. "We are academic institutions, not sports promotion dynasties or fan clubs for the National Football League or the National Basketball Association," Edward B. Fort, Chancellor of North Carolina State University, reminded the 81st NCAA convention yesterday. "It's one thing for a professor of pathology or a heart-transplant specialist to earn more compensation annually than the president of (the) institution. It is something else, however, when the head football coach or the athletic director of that institution earns more." Sometimes it's necessary to get hit over the head before the extent of what has become a ludicrous imbalance strikes home.

Maybe the Len Bias case at Maryland served that purpose. A highly successful basketball coach, Lefty Driesell, lost his job in the wake of that tragedy, and when he sought compensation for lost income, the large amounts of money he made from outside sources shoe companies and the like became a major issue. If all those presidents and chancellors had their heads stuck in the sand before, such revelations made them sit up and take notice in a hurry. Not surprisingly, many of them blew the whistle, leading to some of the legislation that has been passed at this convention. "In today's dog-eat-dog arena of sports-media hype.

the coach, of course, is the complete winner, not the kids," Fort said. "Yes, we as college, administrators and faculty have been pushed and pawed, gerry -rigged and lassoed by the complimentary ticket pushers, the media schedulers, the fast-buck booster club enthusiasts and the equipment hucksters, all geared directly or indirectly to fatten the pockets of coaches. The time has come to say that enough is enough. "It's time to get the salaries in line. It's time to rearrange our priorities.

It's time for presidents not coaches to call the. sports compensation shots." or pf And so they took a giant step toward doing that yesterday, getting legislation passed that will require coaches to fully inform their universities of all athletically related income. They let the coaches know that there was a limit to how far they could go, and that some of them hacf gone speeding well past that limit by accepting under-the-table payments for scheduling games. That practice among basketball coaches began quietly enough with small payoffs for participation in holiday tournaments. It has grown into something that simply can't be allowed to go on.

So it was that the voting delegates were asked yesterday to consider legislation that "specifically precludes the acceptance of compensation or gratuities from other institutions, schedule brokers or agents and television networks or syndicators." "Schedule brokers" are new actors in the collegiate sports morality play. They're the ones who arrange the deals. "Everybody hates that," said Steve I Iatchell, commissioner of the Metro Conference. Hatchell mentioned a former college athletic director who has, allegedly, become a big-time "broker" in the scheduling ticket, He might work on a $100,000 deal, the Metro commissioner explained. "So each team gets $30,000.

each coach gets $10,000, the broker gets You can argue that a coach has the right to make a whopping shoe deal for himself, or get top dollar for making a speech or a clinic appearance. But even then, the presidents want to know how much they're making. And they want the right to approve or disapprove those outside sources of income. "Outside income must be approved because the school may be liable," said De Paul athletic director Bill Bradshaw. "Driesell has a lawsuit (against Maryland) over that Bias thing.

Suddenly the school finds out he had a six-figure (shoe) contract and now he's suing for compensation. The school is saying, 'Wait, we didn't know But it's the scheduling ploy that really turns stomachs. "Oh my God," said Bradshaw, "that's sickening. I've heard of athletic directors involved in that. too.

They'd be scheduling games and they'd say. 'What's in it for Clearly, nothing should be in it for either coaches or athletic directors. A school plays a game, the school should get the money. The legislation passed yesterday, said Missouri Valley Conference commissioner Jim Haney. "is basically a statement of honesty." And, as sure as there's a three-point field goal this year, there'll be coaches who won't reveal all, no matter what the new-rules say.

That could be risky, though. These things have a way of coming out. placekicker Jeff Jaeger are the West's all-America selections. The West has two of the nation's top total offense leaders in quarterbacks Chris Miller of Oregon and Cody Carlson of Baylor. Each accounted for more than 230 yards a game this past season.

The running game gets a boost from Texas Roger Vick, who led the Southwest Conference in rushing, and Spencer Tillman, an Oklahoma running back who was the first player to gain 1,000 yards as a freshman. Palmer, who finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting, ran for 1.S6G yards and 15 touchdowns and accounted for an average of 239 yards per game in rushing, receiving and returns this season. His 349 yards rushing against East Carolina was the most this season by a running back. Center Ben Tamburello of Auburn and cornerback Rod Woodson of Purdue also made the UPI team.

Dixon has a sore left ankle and Johnson suffered a sprained left shoulder and ankle in last Saturday's AFC semifinal victory over the New York Jets. Both are expected to be available for tomorrow's AFC championship game against Denver, but their playing time might be cut short. While Cleveland also considered the possibility of activating running back Earnest Byner, the Broncos pondered adding either tight end Clarence Kay or nose guard Rubin Carter to replace injured guard Paul Howard. Players can be activated until 11 a.m. HST today.

The Broncos worked out for two hours in Mile High Stadium yesterday before leaving for Cleveland. Kay and Carter accompanied the team to Cleveland. At the Browns workout, Dixon went through a few running drills. "But he should be well-rested for the game," Browns Coach Marty Schottenheimer said. "He's taken it pretty easy this week because that's the only way the ankle will heal sufficiently." The words did little to comfort Dixon, who paced impatiently as reserve Mark Harper took his spot in the drills.

"The cold (the practice at Baldwin-Wallace Colleee was rnn. I'nitcd Press International EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. The colder and wetter it gets tomorrow, the more you can expect to see the ball in the hands of running backs Joe Morris and George Rogers in the National Football Conference championship game. The New York Giants and Washington Redskins are more successful when they run well, and the emphasis on running game increases as the conditions grow worse. The weather forecast calls for several inches of snow today, and snow or rain is likely tomorrow.

By 4 p.m. EST (11 a.m. Hawaii) game time, the temperatures will probably be freezing or below. "It's important to run the ball, especially in January," Giants center Bart Oates said. "The forecast is for rain and snowy weather.

When that happens, it's tough to throw the ball." That suits both New York's Morris and Washington's Rogers. Morris finished second in the NFL with 1.51G regular-season yards and added 159 in last week's 49-3 rout of the San Francisco 49ers. Rogers gained 1,203 yards during the season and added 187 in playoff victories over the Los Angeles Rams and Chicago Bears. Counting the playoffs, Rogers has run for 19 touchdowns and Morris 16. "If it does snow, George and 1 will be running a lot," Morris said.

"We've got to be able to run if the weather is inclement. Hopefully it will be good Weather and we will be able to have a balanced attack." "I feel I can go out there and work. But they're telling me to rest and that's like trying to tell a Dober-man to take it easy." Johnson, however, has been inactive all week. "We'll see what tomorrow brings," he said. "I plan on starting." Byner's return, says Schottenheimer, depends on how he feels today.

There was one significant injury during practice. Reserve wide receiver Clarence Weathers fell and injured his left shoulder. X-rays revealed no damage, but Weathers' likely will sit out today's practice and is a candidate to be placed on injured reserve should Byner be activated. In Denver, Coach Dan Reeves said he would wait until today to decide whether Kay or Carter will be activated. Kay was released from a drug rehabilitation clinic and returned to practice Wednesday.

Carter was placed on injured reserve in "I always thought in order for you to beat people in this league, you've got to be able to run the football that's anybody you play, whether it's the Giants or whoever," Rogers said. "I know what I've got to do I've got to make some plays, and I feel like I can do that. Don't abandon the run, don't give up the ship too quick." The Redskins have shifted to the run in postseason. During the regular season Washington had 570 pass plays and 474 rushes. In the playoffs, they ran 80 times and tried 57 passes.

The Giants ran 558 times and tried to pass 518 times during the season, and had 44 running plays and 21 passing plays against the 49ers last week. Morris outgained Rogers in both of the Giants' regular-season victories over Washington. In the 28-20 victory on Oct. 27 at Giants Stadium, Morris ran for 181 yards and two touchdowns compared to Rogers' 30 yards. On Dec.
