He carried a million-dollar price tag on his head and on Monday, the Canadians got their man. The Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League, a team without a championship for 23 years, signed the flashy 5-foot-9, 190-pourid running back and occasional pass-catcher who had been among the few bright spots in the WFL. ARGOS' OWNER Bill son, who would have undoubtedly outbid the New York Jets of the National Football League for Davis' services, called the deal "a million-dollar, multi-year contract." Davis clarified it a bit, saying it was a five-year pact.

He came to terms with Hodgson over the weekend. "I decided on Toronto," Davis said, "because, when I came up here a couple of weeks ago, .1 really liked the people. Everybody I met made me feel I was wanted." The wider, longer CFL field and the more wide-open game also give him a better chance to display his breakaway tal ents. "It was the first time I had been to Canada and only the second time I had watched a game from the stands," he said of that recent visit. "I liked the rules I really think it is suited to a player like myself.

The Canadian game can be really exciting." DAVIS WAS the Jets' second-round pick in last January's collegiate draft. But Davis opted to stay in his own backyard. After starring for the University of Southern California, he signed with the WFL's Southern California Sun. After 12 games, he led the league in scoring, had rushed for 1,200 yards 400 more than the nearest pursuer and had caught 54 passes. But after i2 games, the WFL succumbed to fan apathy and mounting bills and folded.

That made Davis eligible to. join the Jets but not until next year. NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle, wishing to avoid potential legal entanglements over the availability of players, prohibited the signing of any WFL talent except for nine players who had filed a suit to overturn the ban. BUT THE Jets, who have a wealth of running backs, didn't seem too interested in shelling ffifSv, ''I lf JL i vl 4 4 i yiiantJt efo38W KLafciaeiiff Indiana University's Rich Tom Abernathy (top Valavicius (left), Wayne Redford (center) and right) battle Russia's Sergei Belov for ball. iuantf trihil iMOitittj ft rail i i Truf Hoosiers' defense Anthony Davis, right, shows off a $5 advance from Stymies Russians Ar9 players bitter over TORONTO fAPV- Two He said he couldn't have af- Davis.

You might not have suspected that the Hoosier scored at all. "DEFENSE," SAID the In- diana coach, "is the key to our team. It's what wins ball games. Offense is just some- thing you do at the other end of the court." "When you're playing sharp defense," he added, "it opens things up offensively." The Hoosiers played 10 minutes of brilliant defense at the start of the second half, limiting the Russians to seven points and increasing their 48-42 halftime lead to 79-49.

"They play defense better than they play offense.

The whole team plays better when number 42 (May) is in there." THE HOOSIERS, who were top-ranked and undefeated in 30 games last season before losing 94-92 to Kentucky in the quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament, were impressive against a team similar to the one that won the controversial 1972 Olympic finals at Munich.

Bianchi, in his 18th season as either a player or coach in the pro ranks, turned down last year a chance to coach the Kentucky Colonels. Virginia wound up with a 15-69 record, worst in ABA history.
