Those representing the employers are Ramon Goya, University of Hawaii at Hilo athletic director; Milton Hakoda, Hawaii County Parks and Recreation Director; and George Thompson, executive secretary of the Big Island Interscholastic Federation. The officials' groups are to be represented by Ross Wilson, president of island's football officials; Al Campainha, president of the basketball officials; and Reginald De Jesus, president of the Big Island Umpires Association.

If he was back in Big 8 country ROTTERDAM, The Netherlands (UPI) Top-seeded Bjorn Borg of Sweden and third- John McEnroe of the United States gained straight set victories yesterday to reach the final of the world championship tennis tournament in Rotterdam. Borg defeated Peter Fleming of the United States, 6-2, 6-2, and McEnroe defeated Vijay Amritraj of India 6-0, 6-3.

Sunday's final will be the first time Borg and McEnroe have met in major tournament play other than at the semifinal stage. Before a capacity crowd of 7,000 at the Ahoy Stadium, Borg left nothing to chance against Fleming who had beaten him the last time they met in January. Borg's passing shots and service returns frequently trapped Fleming, who had no opportunity to dominate the 64-minute match. Each set followed the same pattern, a break by Borg in the third game, a break back by Fleming in the fourth, then breaks by Borg in the fifth and seventh games. Borg won the last four games for the loss of only two points.

McEnroe only conceded 11 points in the first set against Amritraj and after falling behind 2-1 in the second lost only one more game in a set. finish. McEnroe has won the last two tournament's on the WCT tour in Milan and New Orleans. McEnroe's last meeting with Borg was in New Orleans two weeks ago when he won in three sets.

Jesse James would have been a coach WASHINGTON Psssst, Chuck? Yeah. Over here, behind the sweat socks. Mr. Buffalo sent me, from Colorado. He wants to get another gang together.

You remember. Raid Texas for hired guns. Run like hell through Iowa and Nebraska and Missouri, and over them Cowboys in Stillwater. Like we used to do in Oklahoma. Is it safe to come back to Big 8 territory? Yep.

The law, Walter Byers, either don't remember all those violations or don't care or there's a statute of limitations or something. And none of the other outlaws will turn you in. You remember how that works, too. But I got this deal. For a fortune.

Agreed to head up this outfit here in Boston four more years. Signed a piece of paper. Mr. Buffalo'll take care of that. But what'll I tell everyone? Tell 'em what you told everybody when you took it on the lam from Oklahoma.

That you're doing it for your family. If Frank and Jesse and the Daltons were to reappear in Big 8 country, they might well be football coaches. No other area in all of semiamateur sport has such a passionate, win-first-and-hope-nobodyasks-questions mentality. No other conference encourages such giddy notions of what might happen if somebody could troop through with a needle and several gallons of truth serum. So Fairbanks will be welcomed back.

As they say, the University of By KEN DENLINGER The Washington Post Colorado has paid the price, $200,000 being the going rate for coach-napping these days. And the final bit of innocence about major-college football has disappeared. The best way to look at Fairbanks' escape from academe six years ago and his return this week is through the eyes of what the NCAA, with a straight face and others of us with a twinkle call "a student athlete." Our tackler or jump shooter learns that Fairbanks was head coach at Oklahoma when the NCAA judged it to have sinned by: -A member of the coaching staff falsifying transcripts. -A coach offering to provide a prospect with a wardrobe. -The OU athletic office acting in place of the admissions office in processing prospects' records.

But eight months before the NBAA slapped the Sooners' wrist with a two-year probation, in September of 1973, Fairbanks slipped off to the NFL New England Patriots. For the welfare of his family, he said at the time. Fairbanks is a stonefaced man who drove the Patriots from among the NFL's worst teams to among the best, to within a questionable roughing-the-passer call of the AFC championship game two years ago. He was suitably rewarded. But a contract in sports often is about as valid as Phyllis Diller at middle linebacker.

So while he was being paid $150,000 to lead the Pats into the playoffs in December, Fairbanks allowed himself to be coaxed into accepting an offer as lucrative from Colorado. As a Patriot, and with what he considered a pat hand, he recruited players for Colorado. The mess be- JADE'S LOUNGE 727 Waiakamilo Rd.

PH. 841-6989 came public just before a Monday night game. The Pats seethed, the Buffalos bawled, lawyers stuffed their pockets and neutral witnesses winced. In the out-of-court settlement, the school, through private funds, agreed to pay the Patriots $200,000 and Fairbanks, generous fellow, agreed not to hold the team to 000 in deferred payments. The Patriots' owner, Billy Sullivan, said Fairbanks.

had agreed to return 50 reels of football training films he had sent his Colorado staff and assorted copies of the Pats' playbook. So what does our young player make of all this? He sees a coach slip rules as though they were greasy-fingered defenders and do it with such a casual attitude as to raise the thought that such practices might be more common than anyone suspects. the end, he sees Fairbanks becorne a rich man. Then what? Well, a player, might say to himself: "I want mine. I'm helping bring millions in here and what I'm getting this free education amounts to less than what my 12-year-old sister gets for babysitting.

That alum who offered me money so it's not allowed what's his And somebody offers good money to miss a block now and then during a big game? Why not? A significant portion of the recent convention of college basketball coaches in Salt Lake City was spent fretting about the very real possibility of another point-shaving scandal. a very real danger, said Mississippi State Coach Jim Hatfield. of the players are from lowincome areas," said Wisconsin- Milwaukee Coach Bob Gottlieb, "and let's say they were given several thousand dollars or a new car to sign with a particular school. "Are they going to think they're doing anything wrong when they let their team win by five points instead of eight?" "The kids are very vulnerable, said Marquette's Hank Raymonds. "We bring in an FBI agent at the start of every season to talk to our kids about the dangers." And then a career drifter, Lou Saban, or a Fairbanks pollutes the atmosphere even more.

The number of unseen potentially dangerous bottled-up bubbles these days is two. Fairbanks, as the Associated Press noted, arrived 3 1-2 months late for his introductory press conference. At that time, he said: can mark this down we win. I don't know how long it will take, but we'll get it done. I can promise that the emphasis will be on running the football.

The starting point for success on offense is the ability to run the football. Sooner or later, this team will have that ability." But its most skillful broken-field runner still will be the coach.
