But at yesterday's weekly press luncheon, the Michigan mentor had some com- plaints about the discretionary time- out rule, which allows a quarterback a free time out if he can not be heard because of crowd noise. "What the hell is the rule?" Schem- behcler asked. "From now on, ap- parently, the visiting team has no protection. "I don't think there's an official out there that understands the importan- ce of communication. They just don't want to be embarrassed out there." THE MICHIGAN boss was upset several times during Saturday's 12-10 loss at Iowa because the crowd noise made it impossible for quarterback Jim Harbaugh to check or audiblize at -the line of scrimmage - including the play in which the Wolverines scored ,their lone touchdown. "You know that touchdown we scored?" he said. "(The team) didn't know what play it was. It was ad lib all the way. That play was aborted from the snap." While the Wolverines were forced to improvise new offensive plays, Schembechler is convinced that Iowa saved a lot of its offensive strategy for the Michigan game. This fact, accor- ding to Schembechler made the suc- cess of the Michigan defense all the more impressive. "IOWA'S SMART," he said. "They held a lot of stuff back. I think that's the reason why they had trouble against Michigan State and Wiscon- sin. "With that in mind, the performan- ce of the defense was even better than the statistics indicated." The bottom line, though, was that the offense could not control the ball. The Wolverines ended up converting one of nine third downs. They had only four possessions each half. But Schembechler remained op- timistic about the rest of the season and refused to rule out the Wolverines for a Big Ten title since Iowa must still face a tough schedule. "They (Iowa) are going to be in some tough games," he said. "You can say what you want, but there's going to be some back and forth before this is all over." For Michigan to go to the Rose Bowl, Iowa must lose twice. The Hawkeyes travel to Northwestern, Ohio State and Purdue while hosting Illinois and Minnesota. Schembechler believed that all those teams except Northwestern are capable of tripping up the Hawkeyes. "There's some powerfulfootball games coming up," he said. "I do know those four teams are really good." NO NEW injuries were reported yesterday, but Schembechler was pessimistic about the return of offen- sive guard Mike Husar, who may now be out for the season with the ankle he sprained against Wisconsin. "I told them to put it in a cast - get him ready for the spring," Schembechler said. UPI Top Twenty 1. Iowa (42) ..............62 0 2. Penn State ................600 3.

THE SPORTING VIEWS i -I By RICK KAPLAN T O ERR is human, to forgive divine. But why do I forgive? I was betrayed by my love, yet my passion has never been stronger. I can't help forgiving baseball. In many ways, baseball did everything it could this season to make me lose interest. But I didn't. And neither did the nation, as more people attended baseball games this year than ever before. Why? The players showed their greed and lack of regard for the fans by going on strike this summer. Remem- ber that? Sure, I threatened to boycott. I said I'd live without it. Yet when baseball returned two days later, so did I. Then there was the drug trial of Curtis Strong. Many players stepped forward to admit to heavy drug use, and numerous others were implicated. The entire sport suffered a blow to its respectability surpassed only by the Black Sox scandal of 1919. But there I was at Fenway Park every night of the trial, arriving early to catch batting practice. Players like Dwight Gooden make it easy for me to forget baseball's problems. The most amazing thing about "Dr. K" is that he's just a year older than I am. When I think of strikes, I think of Gooden, not over- paid athletes walking a picket line. Willie McGee, Tommy Herr, and Vince Coleman led the Cardinals over the Mets for the NL East crown with a dazzling display of base-running skill. McGee and Herr had seasons which will earn them MVP con- sideration, while Coleman is a shoo-in for the Rookie of the Year. Mention speed, and I think of the Redbirds, not something bought and sold in the Pirates lockerroom. The pennant races were decided in large part by key trades. Bill M adlock and Enos Cabell shored up the Dogers' weakenss at third basde, leading them to the top of the NL West. Cliff Johnson and Al Oliver helped Toronto in the stretch drive. Jack Clark and John Tudor were integral parts of the Cardinals' pennant winning club. To me, a deal is a trade that puts you in the playoffs, not a drug transaction. Sports and snorts Keith Hernandez and Dave Parker both testified in Pittsburgh. Both admitted to using drugs. Both had superb seasons. ase ball's beauty... .* . outweighs faults I know these men are lawbreakers, and I feel strongly that the commissioner should punish them severely. Yet I can't help being impressed by Hernan- dez' 24 game-winning RBI's, and Parker's .312 batting average and 34 home runs. It was a very good year for baseball between the white lines,ver, let me clarify that, between the foul lines. The Blue Jays brought the playoffs north of the border for the first time. Aside from disgruntled Yankee and Tiger fans, who can say they didn't enjoy1 seeing those long suffering Canadians proudly waving their flags as the Blue Jays were introduced before the first game? The good guys George Brett, Don Mattingly, Wade Boggs, Pedro Guerrero and Dale Murphy all had banner offensive seasons. San Francisco's Chris Brown and Toronto's Tony Fernandez began on their journeys to stardom. Among pitchers, Tudor, Bret Saberhagen, Jeff Reardon, Orel Hershiser and Andy Hawkins all had career-best years. Houston's Dave Smith and Cincin- nati's Tom Browning quietly compiled All-Star statistics, yet no one knows their names. More major milestones were reached this season than during the any in memory. Rod Carew slapped his 3,000th hit. Tom Seaves and Phil Niekro both won their 300th games. Nolan Ryan struck out Danny Heep (ad- mit it, you forgot) for "K" number 3,000. And Pete Rose broke the unbreakable record, passying Ty Cobb with his 4,192 hit. Seeing the ageless Charley Hustle run out a base on balls can make me forget baseball's evils. The playoffs also helped to erase the bad memories. For a change this year, season post-season play has been fun to watch. Kansas City battled back valiantly froma 3-1 deficit to dump the Jays. The Cards won two game in the ninth inning on dramatic home runs - baseball at its best. There were so many other unique happenings: Carlton Fisk tagging out Bobby Meachum and Dale. Berra on the same play. The Mets and Braves playing until 4 a.m. on the Fourth of July. Earl Weaver retur- ning to Baltimore. Billy Brawl back in the Big Apple. Cuerrero hitting 15 homers in June. Ken Griffey going over the Yankee Stadium wall to rob Marty Barrett of a home run. Baseball in 1985. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Scratch that. It was the best of times.

Baseball drug dealer sentenced to joint Shiffman, an unemployed photographer characterized by his at- torney as "a minor league dealer among major league users," was sentenced yesterday to 12 years in federal prison for selling cocaine, mainly to big league baseball players. U.S. District Judge Barron McCune imposed no fine or court costs against Shiffman, who pleaded guilty Aug. 19 to 20 counts of cocaine distribution from 1982 to 1984, mostly to former Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Rod Scurry and former Pirates Parrot mascot Kevin Koch. SCURRY TOLD federal prosecutors he purchased $100,000 worth of cocaine from Shiffman over a two-year period, but Lytton claimed the figure was grossly overstated. Lytton accused Scurry of unsuc- cessfully trying to convince Shiffman to sell him cocaine twice last year af- ter the pitcher was discharged from a Pittsburgh-area drug rehabilitation center, where he was treated for cocaine dependency. Scurry, once one of the National League's most effective left-handed relievers, was traded by the Pirates to the New York Yankees last month. He has denied using cocaine since being released from the treatment center. Lytton said Shiffman made little money from his cocaine dealing and whatever profit he did make "went right up his nose."
