Shooting Sports with BBs Lighter side to the serious game of college football By Bill Burke Leo Corso, Indiana's exuberant football coach, often takes a lighter view of the deadly business of big time coaching, He seems to constantly come up with rib ticklers.

His little gems have become known as Corso-lsms. And, of course, Tom Miller, the Indiana SID, duly records them. For instance, Corso, like most coaches at major institutions, has his own television show. Recently he brought his wife on the show and said that there are two prerequisites for success in any man's life, "a good wife and a tremendous dog." Well, now, that incurred the wrath of the feminists, and a blistering letter-to-the editor went to the local paper, So on Coros's next show he brought along a "mystery" guest his dog. The pup is named Bonnie, it's a Heinz 57 variety, and Corso noted it cost him $2.75 from the dog pound.

Corso also owns a unique sports coat. It resembles a patchwork quilt. Explains the coach, "It's my interview jacket. No matter what the colors of the school, they're in that coat," Welcome to the club In one of Indiana's football games this season, a few boos floated out of the stands when the Hoosiers' quar- terback, Scott Arnett, missed three opening passes. When Arnett came off the field he was met by Corso, who said, "There are two guys who are gonna get the heat the quarterback and the coach.

Welcome to the club," The week after Indiana blew a 24-point lead and lost to Minnesota 32-31, the Hoosiers jumped ahead of Iowa, 240. Eventually they won, 34-14, After the game a writer asked Corso when he felt sure he had won the game. "When we got up 24-0," Corso quipped. And again a writer wondered whether he was going to redshlrt any players, "Redshirt them for whom?" he asked. Football players, like most anyone else, get those blahs when it seems everything goes wrong.

Take, for instance, the freshmen blues that peaked for Cincinnati's Allen Harvin late in October. He was behind in his studies, the Bearcats had been behind on the Scoreboard five straight weeks, his bones were sore from jarring tackles and the 5-9 athlete from Willlngboro, N.J., was ready to call it quits and head for home, "I had my bags packed and everthing," he says. Teammates and friends talked him out of it and now he's glad they did. He completed the season with 1,283 yards third in history by a major college freshman (Pitt's Tony Dorsett collected 1,586 in 1973, and New Mexico State's Ron Po James 1,291 in 1968.) Harvin prefers privacy. His English tutor noted that.

"'Allen, I don't think you like the she said. "I told her she was right. She said, 'You can't run away from She's right there, too. You can't even if you run a 4.4." But Harvin is eager for the semester to end. "December eighth and I'm going home," he told Mike Ricciardi, Cincinnati SID.

"Nobody's going to stop me. Even if O.J. is running through the airport, I'm going home." Kodak All-America has two quarterbacks DURHAM, N. C. Here's the dilemma.

You're one of 2,100 voting members of the American Football Coaches Association. You have to pick a quarterback for the 1978 Kodak All-America team. But there are two outstanding candidates. The solution? Pick 'em both! That's just what the coaches did. For the first time since 1968, two quarterbacks Rick Leach of Michigan and Chuck Fusina of Penn State were chosen to the coaches' dream team.

(The only other tie involved Kansas' Bobby Douglass and Terry Hanratty of Notre Dame 10 years ago.) "The voting was simply too close to call," said AFCA President Carmen Cozza of Yale. "Both Leach and Fusina Boise State plays at Kansas tonight Send your news tip to The Salina Journal, 145 in prizes every week.

The surprise dual choice all but over- hsadowed selection of the nation's three premier running backs Billy Sims of Oklahoma, Charles White of Southern Cal and LSU's Charles Alexander, a repeater.

Rounding out the offense, the coaches chose N. C. State's Jim Ritcher at center; Guards Pat Howell of Southern Cal and Greg Roberts of Oklahoma; tackles Kelvin Clark of Nebraska and Keith Dorney of Penn State; tight end Kellen Winslow of Missouri, and spit end Gordon Jones of Pittsburgh. In receiving the most individual votes, Sims became the coaches' choice as offensive player of the year. Robinson leads defense UCLA's Jerry Robinson, a linebacker and the only other Kodak All-America repeater, led vote-getters on defense.

He is joined by linebackers Bob Golic of Notre Dame and Tom Cousineau of Ohio State. In the defensive secondary, San Diego State's Henry Williams was chosen along with Jeff Nixon of Richmond and Johnny Johnson of the Texas Longhorns. Making no distinction at specific position (coaches consider guards, tackles and ends interchangeable) the AFCA named five down linemen. They include Don Smith of Miami, Fla; Dan Hampton, Arkansas; Mike Bell, Colorado State; Bruce Clark, Penn State and Al Harris, Arizona State. The Kodak All-America selections continue a tradition begun by Yale's Walter Camp in the 1880s.

In 1960, Kodak and the AFCA joined to honor the nation's top players who are selected by a vote of the men who know football best, the coaches of America. The team will be awarded a weekend of rest and relaxtion Dec. 8-10 in Florida, and the entire squad will be featured in a 29-minute movie, "The Kodak All-America Team" which will be previewed for team members in Miami.
