...first pick in the N.F.L. draft. Many fans would agree. Davis, after all, not only humiliated Notre Dame recently with four touchdowns, including a 102-yd. kickoff return, but also eclipsed O.J. Simpson's career rushing record at U.S.C. Moreover, he was runner-up for the Heisman Trophy (the prize went last week to Ohio State Running Back Archie Griffin, a junior). Those who hunt pro talent for a living though, say that Randy White, a defensive end from Maryland, is likely to go first in the draft. In fact, according to TIME'S annual poll...
...this game, the Ohio State Buckeyes will try to make their third successive Rose Bowl trip a successful one as they oppose the University of Southern California Trojans. The game will feature the premiere running backs in the country, in Ohio State's Archie Griffin (recent winner of the Heisman Trophy) and USC's Anthony Davis.

...Mack Herron had carried a passport in his younger days, he could have listed his profession as loser. He majored in football at Kansas State, claimed that friction with his coach cost him a nomination for the Heisman Trophy, and quit school minus his degree. Pro offers were paltry, so Herron went to Canada. There he led the Canadian Football League in rushing but failed to awe the Winnipeg police. When they busted him for possession of marijuana, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers fired him. In 1973 he was back home in Chicago selling blue jeans for a living...
