Like other seniors, hell be looking at the NFL draft, Jackson said, adding, "Whoever drafts me will have a winner. I just need the opportunity to show hat I can do." Quarterback Mike Perez, also of San Jose State, had as disappointing a game as McPherson, completing eight of 20 for 89 yards.

Still, "It's an honor to be here," he said. Cal's Ken Harvey, named defensive player of the game, said, "I was happy with some of the things I did out there, disappointed with others." Harvey will go through NFL testing next month, then wait for the draft He hasn't thought much about which teams he'd like to play for or what round he'd want to go in. "I try not to look at things like that until they're coming right at you." Harvey said. He'll miss his days in college, though, added Harvey. "I wish I had a few more years at Cal.

I really enjoyed the last two years." Chris Verhulst, tight end from Chico State, helped his case for the pros with three catches for 39 yards and strong blocking in the All-Star game. "There were only two tight ends," he said, "and they told me that they'd be using both of us quite a lot, so I expected to see some action." He's already been told he'll be drafted, said Verhulst, and his favorite team has always been Dallas, "but whoever takes me, I don't care. It could snow." Another local senior, Jeff James of Stanford, who wound up with 42 yards on four catches, said he'll play in the Senior Bowl, adding, "I hope I survive the two-a-days down there." He's looking to get drafted in April, said James. "I think I looked pretty good in practice last week. And I think 1 did ell enough today." Dan Murphy, the physically latt Alt Yds.

TO By Edvmi Beitiks Of TMt CXAMNER STAFF STANFORD A full 15 minutes after Saturday's East-West Shrine Game, Don McPherson and Brad Muster were still standing by the chain-link fence around the Stanford field, signing programs and footballs for youngsters.

Finally turning away, Muster headed for the locker room, saying that his last game at Stanford Stadium, his last afternoon In a college uniform, wasn't as emotional as he thought It might be. "It hit me more in the Cal game," he said, looking around the field. "I didnt really think of myself as playing for Stanford today." Muster, like the other players, acknowledged that he's looking toward the NFL draft in April, but added. "It's really out of my hands." The Injured ankle that has given him trouble "didnl bother me at all today," said Muster, adding that his ability both to run and catch the ball ought to give him a good chance in the pros. "I'd like to stay on the West Coast," he said, "but I'd be happy to go anywhere." Asked if he would like to play with John Elway at Denver, Muster said, "That would be awesome." Saturday, Muster rushed three times for 15 yards and caught four passes for 38 yards.

Unlike other seniors, Muster did not sign up to play the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala. "This is the only one I wanted to do," he said, "and that was basically because of the (crippled) McPherson, who left Sunday for Mobile to take part in the Senior Bowl, had a disappointing game, getting only three completions in 17 attempts for 60 yards and one interception in the West's 16-13 victory. He couldn't get into the rhythm of the game, said McPherson. "I'm not making excuses," he explained. "I'm just saying that when you play in an all-star game you don't get a lot of time.

You have to work 1th what you have." He'd like to get drafted by the NFL, said McPherson every kid's but, "I'm not too concerned about it." There has been talk that he would be drafted to play something other than quarterback, but McPherson said, "I've been a quarterback the past 11 years of my life. I wouldn't consider anything else." Jose State's Kenny Jackson, named offensive player of the 111 -Vt I A 1 1 it give the Westerners their 32nd win against 26 losses and five ties in the history of the game. "With our season at Cal and the new coaches, it took me a while to adjust," Harvey said of his final year in Berkeley, where Bruce Snyder took over for Joe Kapp. "As time went on, I started playing well. If the season had gone on, I think I would have played even better." He well might have, considering what he did Saturday against the best players in college football.

Named the game's outstanding defensive player, he finished as the West's leading tackier with three unassisted tackles and seven assisted, and worked cohesively with such luminaries as Chad Hennings to stifle the most heralded quarterback in college football Syracuse's Don McPherson, who' completed only three of 17 attempts for 60 yards. "Our defense played very well," said West assistant coach Claude Gilbert of San Jose State. 'They pursued well and they hit hard." And they also covered well, and made life downright miserable for East QBs McPherson and Danny McCoin of Cincinnati, who completed only four of 10 for 29 yards. "It's tough to get in a groove in an all-star game," said McPherson. "You try to communicate at the line of scrimmage and you really can't I thought both defenses played very, very well.

The linebackers showed a lot of movement" McPherson won the Davey O'Brien award as the nation's top collegiate quarterback, but was far from impressive as he tried to throw into tight coverage, most notably by Arizona State defensive back Eric Allen. "This game went the way I hoped it would for me," said Allen, who broke up five passes, including one in the end zone during the fourth quarter that would have given the East a victory. "It's the kind of game you see in your dreams. I sure had nightmares about Sterling (East receiver Sterling Sharpe). He's the best receiver I've played against this year." That "best receiver" caught only one pass, for 42 yards.

The East led only briefly in the game, when McPherson threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to Tulane's Marc Zeno in the first quarter, and Chip Lohmiller's kick gave the East a 7-3 lead. Whelihan's 30-yard field goal cut the advantage to 7-6 before Lohmiller from Minnesota struck again, with a 37-yarder, to put the East ahead, 104. The West went ahead for good with 2:23 remaining in the half after West defensive lineman Tim Rother of Nebraska recovered an East fumble at the East 35. San Jose State quarterback Mike Perez completed quick passes to Stanford's Jeff James and Chico State's Chris Verhulst to carry the ball to the 4. After a 1-yard run, Perez lofted a pass that Darryl Franklin caught as he streaked to the corner of the end zone.

Dan Murphy's PAT gave the West a 13-10 lead. The only second-half scoring came on field goals a 45-yarder for Whelihan and a 38-yarder for Lohmiller as both teams struggled on offense. Whelihan was virtually a forgotten man for the West during the week of Shrine Game activities. He was sharing kicking duties with Murphy, the former Shriners Hospital patient from Sonoma State 1 San Jose State's Mike Perez gets who finished third in Heisman voting, will also be playing in the Senior Bowl. "I played a lot of different positions today," said Lockbaum, who played flanker, fullback and split end on offense as well as four defensive positions.

The NFL has been watching his progress. Lockbaum said, "But I'm not really sure what they're looking for." On the sideline Half a dozen physically handicapped patients and former patients from the Shriners Hospital in San Francisco were on the sidelines, including Johnathan Stude-bakcr, kicker coach for Chico State, who was a patient at the hospital with neither team able to get its offense moving. The East got on the scoreboard midway through the first quarter when Jon Carter of Pittsburgh sacked quarterback Todd Santos of San Diego State in the end zone. Eight plays later, Treadwell kicked his first field goal, a 44-yar-der, that capped a scoring drive that netted only 14 yards. The defenses hung tough early in the second quarter.

The result was that Whelihan got away from the pressures by horsing around. "I went over to the horse barn here on campus," Whelihan explained. "My uncle Don (de Rotlan) kind of got me in the mood.

We went hiking, which kind of got the blood rushing in my leg, and we went to the barn a lot." So does this cowboy kicker from Missouri, who grew up in Carroll-ton, Texas, enjoy riding as a hobby in order to keep his precious kicking leg strong? "I've never been on a horse in my life. They're just so peaceful to be around." So the relaxed Whelihan provided the boots that proved the difference for the West. handicapped kicker from Sonoma State, kicked an extra point in the game and missed a 22-yard field goal try in the third quarter. Although he didn't see much action, Murphy said, "I thought the game was great Just great."

Odds and ends There, were 62,000 people at the game and 76,000 paid, the Shriners reported Before the game, former Boston College running back Mike Esposito and Nichole Worley were reunited. Esposito and Worley met when he was a ballplayer and she was a 2-year-old patient at Shriners Hospital, and their pictures were used as the East-West logo for the past 14 years. She is now 16 years old and he is a high school coach. Hula win goal, a 36-yarder, after a 38-yard drive with 5:56 remaining in the half.

Price made his second interception of East quarterback Tom Tupa at the West 14 with 1:58 remaining. Aided by offsides and personal-foul penalties, Burnett led the West to the first touchdown of the game. His 11-yard pass to Hawaii's Marco Johnson in the end zone came with 51 seconds remaining in the half. Burnett then passed to Oklahoma State's Thurman Thomas for a two-point conversion to tie the score. Burnett stars in West's Wyoming's By Ron Staton ASSOCIATED PRESS HONOLULU Craig Burnett of Wyoming passed for one touchdown and led the drive for another as the West defeated the East, 20-18, in the Hula Bowl game here Saturday.

Burnett completed 8 of 14 passes for 109 yards. Aaron Cox of Arizona State, who had six receptions for 101 yards, was named the game's outstanding offensive player. Cornerback Dennis Price of UCLA, who had three key interceptions, was the outstanding defensive player. David Treadwell of Clemson kicked three field goals to tie the Hula Bowl record. In a tight defensive game, both teams had trouble getting a running attack going.

Three of the four touchdowns were on passes, and the East's only touchdown came with only 47 seconds left in the game.
