The altitude, a long trip and the New Mexico basketball team proved too much for the University of Hawaii to handle. The Rainbows were beaten by the Lobos, 110-92, here last night in a game that became a matter of survival of the fittest. And the home team had a definite advantage. The Rainbows led for much of the game and trailed by two points with eight minutes to go. But they ran out of gas and were outrun in the end.

New Mexico closed the game with a 30-14 surge and scored the last 10 points. Hawaii, which plays today at Texas-El Paso, is 7-15 overall and 2-9 in the Western Athletic Conference. New Mexico, which had lost its last three games, is 18-8 and 7-5. "In a 36-hour period, we've had two hours of sleep," UH coach Frank Arnold said. "I don't know why, but we took a 12-hour trip to get here.

We left Honolulu and went to San Francisco. From there, we went to Denver and changed planes and came to Albuquerque. I don't why we didn't just fly to Los Angeles and on in here." The Rainbows were obviously tired in the second half. In the closing minutes they were no match for the Lobos. Hawaii took an 8-2 lead in the first three minutes.

After New Mexico reduced its deficit to 15-14, the Rainbows used an 11-0 surge for a 26-14 lead.

"We saw something tonight that we haven't seen, (and) that was a lot of mental, mistakes," Arnold said. "We gave them 14 to 18 points worth of layups and easy baskets. Fatigue was a factor, especially in the last few minutes." The Rainbows made 63.8 cent of their field-goal attempts in the first half. But they cooled to 36.8 percent in the second half and shot 50 percent for the game. 4i Freshman guard Chris Gaines had 25 points the Rainbows.

Mikt Tufly, United Prett International United ftett International DETROIT Jack Morris, who settled for salary arbitration instead of testing free agency, yesterday won his dispute with the Detroit Tigers and became the highest-paid pitcher in the American League. Arbitrator Richard Bloch awarded the right-hander $1.85 million -for the season more than the Tigers had offered. 1 The contract matches the major-league high for a pitcher. Fernando Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Dodgers will also earn $1.85 million for 1987. "I certainly am happy about the decision," Morris said from his Farmington Hills, home.

"I'm glad it's over, and I just want to play baseball. There is no deep-down hate between the Tigers and myself." Bill Lajoie, the Tigers' vice president and general manager, said he felt similarly. "We fully understand the procedure and fully accept the decision," he said. "Now, let's get on with the season." Despite his arbitration victory, Morris remains a symbol of the economic dispute between baseball's players and owners. Players contend owners are illegally colluding to limit salaries, and Morris' failure to find a new team appears to support that claim.

"I felt all along the principle was more, important than the money Morris said. "I believe by what 1 accomplished, I'm going to help other players down the road." Morris, 31, has won more games than any other pitcher in baseball in the 1980s, compiling a 123-81 won-lost record He would improve Jthe outlook for any team in basebalL Jack Morris Big salary winner, too Last year, he was 21-8 with a 3.27 earned-run average, easily one of the best records in baseball, and this winter offered those credentials on baseball's open employment market He made himself available to the New York Yankees, California, Philadelphia and Minnesota, but reached agreement with none of the clubs. Then he retreated to the option of arbitration with the Tigers. Morris, his agent Dick Moss and Lajoie presented their cases Thursday at a hearing in Chicago that lasted more than four hours. "I didn't have a whole lot to say," Morris said following the hearing.

"I think I was adequately represented by Dick. We weren't caught by surprise by anything that happened. We were well-prepared." Said Moss: "Both sides needed all the time to talk about a lot of things. We based our case on Jack's achievements. Jack hasn't done anything to be ashamed of." A- 0 UPI Michael Jordan.
