...William Frye III, a former policeman, finally smelled a rat. Pressed by the judges, the police admitted that it had all been a put-up job, a "field trip" arranged in cooperation with the college to show the judges the view from the other side of the bench.

There is All-America Tackle Ron Yary, the 6-ft. 6-in., 245-lb. bruiser who bulwarks the offensive line, and Linebacker Adrian Young, who intercepted four Notre Dame passes. And there is Quarterback Steve Sogge, a top pro baseball prospect (he batted 400 for the U.S. team that won at last summer's Pan American Games), who could also fling a football...

Before his latest injury, Davis had been developing well in the Patriots preseason practice at Andover. "He was quick and agile," said Boston defensive line coach Jesse Richardson about the six-foot-six 235-pound bruiser.
