Now, after it was described by some officials as the best Pro Bowl ever played, many are hoping the NFL keeps it here. But ii the NFL decides to keep its post-season showcase of All-Pro talent in Hawaii next year, it will have to deal with a problemalbeit a pleasant one. What to do for an encore. The Pro Bowl, saddled with a reputation for being an anti-climaetic game since it has the misfortune of falling on the Sunday after Super Bowl Sunday, wasn't considered anticlimactic by the 48,060 fans who showed up yesterday at Aloha Stadium. AND PITY THOSE 1,740 no-shows who bought tickets (the game was officially listed as a sellout with 800 tickets sold) but decided to stay home and watch the game on television.

They may have had a better seat at home, but they lost out on the experience of seeing first-hand the best the NFL had to offer. But their counterparts didn't lose out as they resoundly roared their approval at the final gun of a record-setting performance which had the underdogbut local favoriteNational Football Conference outseore the American Football Conference, 37-27, In the 10th annual game under the present format. A total of 16 records were equalled or broken in the 1980 Pro Bowlsix records were tied (three team and three individual) and 10 records (eight team and two individual) were established. The most noticeable records were the 37 points scored by the NFC and the total points-64scored by both teams. If you wanted a high-scoring game, you got one.

"I THINK TIIE people got their money's worth," said a smiling Terry Bradshaw, the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback who tried but couldn't pull off any Super Bowl heroics in the fourth quarter of the Pro Bowl. Bradshaw and the Super Steelers had to give way in this game to the Super Saints from New Orleans, the 3M boysrunning back Chuck Muncie, quarterback Archie Manning and free safety Tom Myers.

Kuhn was in Cincinnati when Aaron tied Babe Ruth's record of 714 home runs.

When Aaron and the Braves moved on to Atlanta, the commissioner sent Hall of Famer Monte Irvin as his representative. "I still count as one of my greatest personal thrills being present for No. 714 in Cincinnati," Kuhn said. "I was speaking in Cleveland before the Cleveland Sports Fans Club and announced in the course of the speech when he hit his 715th." Kuhn said he had seen Aaron within the last two months and the slugger displayed no Henry's achievements as among 0 from the great slugger, It said in part: "I AM SORRY for not informing you sooner, but because of the inadequacies of the ballot selection, retirement for black players from baseball, and with the commissioner of baseball, I feel I cannot support this activity. "I understand that Mr.

Kuhn requested that he present me the award for the outstanding moment of the 1970s, in honor and recognition of the new all-time home run record set on the eighth of April 1974. However, looking back at that time, I remember the commissioner did not see the need to attend." Aaron asked that the telegram be read at the time of the presentation. Kuhn, who was on the dais, seemed stunned at the message. "I will continue to admire from the great slugger, It said in By Hdl Bock AP Sports Writer NEW YORKAll-time home run king Henry Aaron snubbed baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn today, refusing to accept an award from him for his 715th career home run, voted the greatest moment in the decade of the 1970s. Aaron was scheduled to appear at the presentation sponsored by Baseball Magazine.

Also on hand were Don Baylor of the California Angels and Keith Hernandez of the St. Louis Cardinals, voted the top performers of the 1979 season, and Pete Rose of the Philadelphia Phi llies, who received the award as top player of the decade. When it was time for Aaron's award to be presented, Bob Flamm, his agent, came to the microphone to read a telegram By Heil Bock That's Entertainment Hawaii's first Pro Bowland it won't be the last; believe mewas a tremendous success for the fans and players alike. The fans got what they came to seethe superstars of the National Football League doing what they do best instead of performing in such "trash" sports as racing on bicycles, jumping over obstacles or groveling in a sandy tug-of-war. And, as if in response to the enthusiastic crowd of 48,060 fans, the players put out for the highest-scoring game under current AFC vs.

NFC The weather cooperated with just a brief shower in the first quarter; it was more of a benediction than a damper on the game. The fans had a lot of fun in watching a record-shattering Pro Bowl. Even before the game began, one knew they would enjoy themselves as they cheered everybody in sight except Howard Cosell. The noisy crowd must have jacked up the players, who normally play with pride, but in desultory fashion in such an anti-climactic affair as this one. "The crowd was great," said Pittsburgh quarterback Terry Bradshaw.

"They were excited by the big plays no matter who made them." Bradshaw, Franco Harris, John Stallworth and Joe (Not So Mean Anymore) Greene drew the loudest cheers when the American Football Conference team was introduced. But the crowd was distinctly proNFC for some reason. Maybe because of the West Coast Rams and Forty-Niners. The game provided the necessary excitement for those still in need of a football "high" or suffering from Super Bowl withdrawal pangs. Denver's Rick Upchurch looked like he was going to bust one every time he returned a kickoff or a punt, but Philadelphia's Wally Henry didan 86-yard punt return.

Earl Campbell drew some oohs and aahs when he ran, and even on standup one-yard TD sweeps one could see that awesome power that enabled him to win back-to-back NFL rushing titles. It was worth the two-year wait to see him, finally, on the Aloha Stadium Astroturf. A pair of Saints from New Orleans QB Archie Manning and running back Chuck Munciemarched off with the game honors. Muncie won the MVP award by scoring two TDs and throwing for a third. But Mantling came THAT close, a deflected interception, from winning it, He was nine-for-nine and 112 yards before his last pass was intercepted by Jack Lambert in a Super Bowl XIV deja vu play.

"This shows people that we have the players to be a championship team," said Muncie. "When the Saints come marching, they come marching all the way." Manning said it was all a matter of being in the right time and the right place in outshining Dallas Roger Staubach, the NFC's No. 1 quarterback. "That's the way the game is," said Manning. "I think the second and fourth quarters are better for a quarterback.

In the first quarter, you sort of feel things out. I saw a few things that weren't working for Roger when I was on the sidelines." To a man, the players would like to return here. So would the NFL owners. But with the NCAA about ready to approve the Pineapple Bowl game here for Christmas Day, the thought of a third post-season game (Hula Bowl's the third) for Hon. lulu's fans is worrying all concerned.

One thing, though. Please, if there's ever another Pro Bowl here, let's get some Hawaiian entertainment at halftime That's Entertainment waii's first Pro Bowland it won't be the last, believe mewas a Ha tremendous success for the fans and players alike The fans got what they came to seethe superstars of the National Football League doing what they do best instead of performing in such trash sports as racing on bicycles jumping over obstacles or groveling in a sandy tug-of-war.

It was a play the NFC defense had seen before and was on the lookout for again. "We were alerted to that play," said Myers. "They tried it once before." "Dan (Fouts) hit that pass once (to Starworth)." said Bradshaw, who along with San Diego's Fouts combined to riddle the NFC secondary for 20 completions and 294 yards passing. "They were in a man defense and I saw the safety, but I didn't know the pass had been intercepted." i "It was a big play," said Myers. "We went down and scored after that.

Since they weren't able to score, it took a lot out of them." THE INTERCEPTIONBradshaw's secondand Muncie's subsequent touchdown gave the NFC a commanding 37-20 lead and came at the most opportune time. The AFC, after its deficit grew to 20 points (30-10) thanks to a sterling 86-yard punt return by Wally Henry, Philadelphia's high-flying Eagle, with 12,09 remaining in the third quarter. bounced right back and scored the next 10 pomts on the first of two touchdowns by Houston's Earl Campbell. and Houston teammate at Toni Fritsch's second field goal, a 29-yarder. Then, early in the fourth quarter, Bradshaw marched his team from the AFC 41 to the NET 7, wherc Myers made the demoralizing inter ception.

It's second nature to him If you have any doubts, just ask his former teammates at Houston, San Diego and Toronto who have been the victims of many Rader-inspired practical jokes. "I wouldn't call myself a practical joker, let's just say I like to have fun," said Rader recently in a telephone interview with the Star-Bulletin. Whether or not you admire Rader's fun-loving attitude, you have to give him credit for one thing he knows how to keep fun in its proper perspective. "There is a tendency to have fun, but there is an underlying seriousness involved," said Rader, the new manager of the Hawaii Islanders who will officially meet the Honolulu media at a news conference tomorrow.
