"They called Sunday morning, I got back with them Sunday evening, they had me in Wednesday, kept me over and told me at 1 1 o'clock Wednesday night I was the guy they had chosen." CHLEBEK WAS THE TOP CHOICE over 10 other applicants who had interviewed for the position.

He was given a three-year contract and, although no terms were announced, will be makirg considerably more than he was at EMU. "Financially speaking, I had to think of my family too," he said. "You have to make so many sacrifices in coaching that when you get a chance to better yourself, you have to take it." Boston College had a 6-5 record, including a season-opening loss to Texas, under Yukica last season and Chlebek said he wasn't sure how much talent he would have returning. Oddly enough, his starting quarterback is likely to be Jay Palazola, a player he coached as an assistant at Notre Dame three years ago. Palazola, from Massachussetts, transferred to BC after his freshman season at Notre Dame, sat out one year and was a backup man on the team last fall.

Chlebek had six assistant coaches at EMU Mick Brzezitv ski, Lloyd Carr, Bobby Grier, Jerry Lutri, Al Maghes and Vera Sharbaugh. He indicated that he expects several of them to accompany him to Boston College. EMU athletic director Alex Agase was involved in MAC meetings all Thursday afternoon and was not available to comment on a possible successor at EMU. Chlebek is a 1962 graduate of Western Michigan, where he was an All-MAC quarterback and earned All-America honors as well. He played two seasons with the New York Jets and also spent time with the Ottawa Roughriders before turning to a coaching career.

He worked as an assistant under Dan Boisture at EMU and also with the Detroit Wheels of the World Football League before being named offensive coordinator at Notre Dame by Ara Parseghian. BY CURT SYLVESTER Free Press Sports Writer It took just two seasons for Ed Chlebek to complete the reclamation of Eastern Michigan football. When a new and bigger project presented itself, he just couldn't resist. Chlebek, who was named the Mid-American Conference coach of the year for taking the Hurons to a surprisingly successful 8-3 season last fall, was named the head coach at Boston College Thursday. No longer does he worry about Bowling Green, Toledo and McNeese State.

Come September, it's the big-timers Air Force, Texas Navy and Pittsburgh. In coming years, it will be Tennes-, see, Stanford, Florida State and Alabama. "Professionally speaking, we're talking about playing Texas and the best teams in the country," Chlebek said by phone from his new office in Newton, Mass. "They (Boston College) played Notre Dame a couple of years ago, we're playing Alabama in the future and, professionally speaking, that's exactly what I wanted to do." It may be awhile before the Eagles compete on an equal basis with those national powers, but if Chlebek can do in Boston what he did for Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti, the possibility is always there. Chlebek was something of a desperation choice of the EMU administration when George Mans turned in his resignation less than four months before the start of the 1 976 season.

The best the Hurons could do that season was 2-9, with upset victories over Central Michigan and Arkansas State. BUT LAST FALL, CHLEBEK took a team expected to finish, at best, in the middle of the MAC pack, and produced an 8-3 season, good enough for conference coach-of-the-year honors. "I'm leaving with a lot of fond memories," said Chlebek. FRIDAY'S GAMES Cleveland at Chicago, 8:30 p.m. Portland at N.

But we've got the program straightened around, they're going in the right direction I still have a lot of fond feelings toward Eastern Michigan." Those feelings weren't enough to keep him in Ypsilanti, however, when BC athletic director William Flynn invited him to Boston for a job interview last Sunday. In making inquiries around the country as he hunted a replacement to Joe Yukica, who retired to take a similar job at Dartmouth Jan. 6, Flynn reportedly kept hearing Chlebek's name.

Among those who gave liim high recommendations were Notre Dame coach Dan Devine and athletic director Moose Krause, along with MAC commissioner Fred Jacoby. "I guess they liked what had happened at Eastern," explained Chlebek. "I didn't apply for the job, they called me. S. Antonio 109, Indiana 96.

Allen is on the Rules Committee.

Bumpers was just as upset. "It was the Arkansas Razorbacks who were the Cinder-ella team," he said. Arkansas crushed heavily favored Oklahoma in the Orange Bowi. "The people of my state would force a recall petition if this resolution went through," Bumpers said. Bayh pleaded with Allen and Bumpers to forget their "provincial bias" and to vote on the facts.

He said, "Next year, amendments may be in order." Bumpers offered a compromise under which he would withdraw his objection if the resolution omitted the words that Notre Dame was chosen on the basis "of unbiased and professional decision of sportswriters and coaches." WASHINGTON (UPI) The nation's coaches voted Notre Dame the No. 1 college football team of the year at the end of the season. Not so the U.S. Senate. Sen.

Birch Bayh, introduced a resolution Thursday honoring the Fighting Irish as the best in the country and asked for an immediate vote. Sen. James Allen, and Sen. Dale Bumpers, jumped to their feet to object. "I would certainly disagree with the content of the resolution," Allen said.

"In a large portion of the South, Alabama is considered the No. 1 team." Allen noted that Alabama was ranked third before the bowl games and that then No. 1 Texas and No. 2 Oklahoma were beaten in bowl games while the Crimson Tide trounced Ohio State. Therefore, Allen said, it was just logical that Alabama should have climbed to No.

It's usually just a temporary inconvenience. But if you have a Honda portable generator around the house, you'll have some lights on while your neighbors are still looking for the candles.

The Honda EM-400 weighs only 39 lbs. and is very compact-about the size of a 12" portable TV set-so it's easy to handle. It's powered by an easy-starting 4-stroke engine. No fuel pre-mixing is ever necessary. It'll turn on a light, run a small appliance, even charge your car battery.

And it'll do it quietly as a mouse (well, almost). Check out the full line of Honda generators (400 to 3,500 watts max. rating) at your Honda generator dealer (he's listed in the YeNow Pages). They bring dependable, ready power to the people! OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) Oklahoma State officials expressed dismay and shock Thursday at the severity of a two-year probation the NCAA levied against the school for a multitude of football recruiting infractions. Meanwhile, Lana Tyree, attorney for four persons who were among the targets of the lenthy NCAA investigation, vowed to file suit if the NCAA tries enforce any penalties against her clients.

"These people are not guilty of anything they have been charged with," Tyree said in Oklahoma City. At Stillwater, Oklahoma State president Lawrence Boger and athletic director Floyd Gass told a news conference they were stunned by the severity of the NCAA penalities. Boger, who became president at the university last year when the investigation was in midstream, said the school would abide by the NCAA edict. But he said Oklahoma State officials regard the sanctions "too severe in view of the infractions found by the NCAA. We also believe that many of the infractions found by the NCAA did not occur." THE PROBATION PERIOD covers the 1978 and 1979 seasons and prohibits the Big Eight school from appearing on television or going to bowi games.

In addition, Oklahoma State will be allowed only 25 football scholarships each of the two years instead of the normal 30. In announcing the probation, an NCAA spokesman said the list of infractions, dating back to 1973, was one of the longest in NCAA annals. In a prepared release, Arthur R. Reynolds, chairman of the NCAA infractions committee, cited "a significant number of serious violations" of NCAA rules and indicated the committee r- felt several members of the Oklahoma State alumni engaged in "a willful effort" to circumvent rules on recruiting. Reynolds made an obvious reference to Oklahoma State's 1976 season when the Cowboys gained a share of the Big Eight title with a 8-3 record and trounced Brigham Young in the Tangerine Bowl, then said: "Accordingly, the committee does not believe the university should gain the benefit of this competitive advantage without realizing appropriate disciplinary action." The NCAA cited a host of rules violations, including offering a prospect's mother a job, a car and driving lessons; giving prospects small and large sums of cash, meals and clothing, and the payment of exorbitant wages to student-athletes for summer jobs.
