DETROIT (AP)- Michigan football Coach Bo Schembechler says coaches can do as much as anybody to discourage the use of drugs by athletes.

At least that's what pre-season college football magazines seem to be saying. Street & Smith, Game Plan, Football Ac- tion, College Football-The Professor's 1982 Guide To Win- ning, Athlon's The Really Big Ten and Pigskin Preview have all hit the newsstands and all pick Ohio State and Michigan to finish one-two in conference play. MICHIGAN IS predicted to top the conference in Football Action and Athlon's The Really Big Ten. Ohio State is the choice of Street & Smith, Game Plan, Pigskin Preview and College Football-The Professor's 1982 Guide To Winning. Illinois is picked third in all six publications. After that, the magazines tend to differ in their selections although all place Northwestern in the cellar. College Football-The Professor's 1982 Guide To Winning lists odds for the Big Ten race. They are as follows: Ohio State (5-2), Michigan (7-2), Illinois (5-1), Wisconsin (6-1), Purdue (6-1), Minnesota (6-1), Iowa (10-1), Indiana (20-1), Michigan State (50-1) and Northwestern (1,000-1). MICHIGAN WAS ranked in the Top 20 of all the magazines (Athlon's did not have one). The highest the Wolverines were ranked was sixth by Football Action. The lowest they were rated was 17th by both Game Plan and Pigskin Preview. A few Michigan individual players were also singled out for attention by the magazines. Anthony Carter was named First Team All-American on all the magazines that chose such a team, except for Pigskin Preview which accorded that honor to Tennessee's Willie Gault. Also earning First Team All-American honors for Michigan was Keith Bostic who was chosen by Street & Smith. Wolverine performers given honorable mention status were linebackers Robert Thompson (Street & Smith) and Paul Girgash (Pigskin Preview), and quarterback Steve Smith (Game Plan).
