Allen became the first player in college to rush for more than 2,000 yards with 2,342 in 11 regular-season games.

He also led the nation by scoring 23 touchdowns, and he rushed for more than 200 yards in seven games. Despite his heroics, the Trojans lost the Pa- cific 10 Conference title to Washington, which' will go to the Rose Bowl against Iowa. Allen will end his college career in the Fiesta Bowl agaist Penn State. See HEISMAN, 2D NEW YORK (AP) Marcus Allen, the record-breaking running back from the Uni-' versity of Southern California, says he doesn't consider himself a shoo-in to win the Heisman Trophy as the nation's best college football player. "I'd love to win the Heisman Trophy, but I think I had a disappointing year a great year, actually, But disappointing because we didn't go to the Rose Bowl," said Allen.

"That was my main goal." 1 "I think it's still up in the air, and I'm just hoping I win it, that's all," said Allen. The Heisman winner will be announced tomorrow evening at the Downtown Athletic Club of New York, which sponsors the award and conducts the nationwide balloting of sports writers, editors and broadcasters. The Heisman ceremony will be televised live via a nationwide hookup of independent Jim McMahon Herschel Walker Marcus Allen i Cornell 'out', Paterno happy The NCAA booted the Ivy League and an un-'; determined number of other conferences out of the ranks of big-time football (i.e., Division I-A) in a special convention's attempt to avoid a breach with the dissident College Football Asso-; ciation which wants to quit the NCAA and accept. a rich riva) TV contract. Ivies' average attendance doesn't qualify for either of the two exception provisions (at least six members averaging 17,000 paid).

There's also the opportunity to apply for a waiver vote, for which at least Dartmouth will apply as may Colgate, one of the few independent institutions also dropped to Div. I-AA. The reclassification doesn't affect other sports, but might cost Colgates and Cornells network-TV'. appearances in football and keep their players from appearing in NCAA major-college statis-'' tics such as the rushing title won by Cornell's Ed Marinaro 10 years ago. Joe Paterno, athletic director and head football coach at Penn State, was one of those speak-; ing in favor of a more elite Div.

The best Smokin' Joe. could salvage last night in his first bout after 5'-2 years of retirement, was a majority split-decision draw, which was booed by most of the 6,500 who saw the fight at the International Amphitheatre. Referee Nate Morgan was the only one to pick a winner. He scored the bout 4645 in favor of Cummings, a former convict from Joliet, 111. But judge Harold Marovitz scored the fight a 4747 draw and Collins Brown scored it 4646.

"I won't knock the decision," said, Frazier. "I don't know. I wasn't in there as a judge. But tell me anyone in the top 10 who could have done better than 1 did. I got a few bumps and bruises.

But at least I proved to myself that I can go 10 rounds and I don't plan to retire. "My timing was off and I got a little winded. But, hey, five years. I've been off five years (actually 5). Just got to work harder, that's all." ipaaiip PiprTinn mpinnn arm nau ldvurtu a "team concept" all season.

They'll be waving car keys in front of NBC-TV cameras. The unusual planned' demonstration was prompted by reports that UCLA will be placed on 2-year probation by the NCAA for a series of recruiting violations that include the alleged 1979 purchase of automobiles for now juniors Rod Foster, Mike Holton, Daren Daye and Cliff Pruitt as an enticement to attend UCLA. Tony Anderson's current suspension by new coach Larry Farmer, for unannounced reasons, reportedly is because his apartment was subsidized by an alumnus. The Bruins reportedly have only received a slap on the wrist, the school's sole penalty disqualification from this season's 1982 NCAA tournament.

What 8th-ranked UCLA got last night was more like a kick in the chops, in the college-basketball baptism of the Meadowlands arena in New Jersey, it could partly blame on former coaching giant John Wooden. "John Wooden helped us win tonight because he long advocated the alternate-possesion rule change." said Rutgers coach Tom Young afterwards. "I hate it myself, but I loved it tonight." Here's what happened Holton's free throws with 0: 15 left cut Rutgers' lead to 55-54. Nine seconds later, after Holton missed a. 12-footer, UCLA's Mike Sanders and Rutgers' Chris Nieberlein tied up under the basket.

Under the old rule, a jump ball would have been called. But Rutgers got possession under the revised rule that teams alternate inbounding except on the gftme-opening tap; Brian Ellerbee then dribbled the length of the court for the insurance layup. 1 UCLA, ranked No. -3 pre season, also lost its opener, to Brigham Young. Rutgers? Its only previous outing had been a Mondav loss to Ivy Leaguer Princeton.

No fewer than five regulars have, been out of the Rangers' lineup this season, and it inevitably filters down. It hasn 't helped coach Tom Webster that GM Craig Patrick and head coach Herb Brooks have kept a minimum of 22 players with the big club. But Webster has done all right, keeping the team at .500 despite it scoring the fewest goals (73) in the league. Rick Strack. out of Plattsburgh State, has handled the goaltending chores and it wasn't until yesterday that the Tribe found a suitable backup.

Webster went to his old co-coaching buddy at Adirondack, J.P. Le-blanc, and acquired Claude Legris from Kalamazoo (IHL) on loan from the Detroit organization. The Indians are led offensively by right wing Cam Connor (9 goals, 8 assists), left wing Claude Larose (7-10) and center Gary Burns (6-10) A pair of AHL veterans, Ron Plumb and Gordie Smith, anchor the defense. BINGHAMTON: With Rochester off tonight, the Whalers can move into a tie for first with a victory. They've won seven in a row at home, three in a row overall and six out of their last seven.

All this despite an epidemic of minor aches and pains that has left coach Larry Kish juggling like he's in a circus. Rob McCIanahan missed the last two periods in Erie after taking a stick in the eye. The speedy forward will probably play tonight with a shield over his face. Defenseman Gerry McDonald reinjured his bruised shoulder and won't play, but Norm Barnes is expected from Hartford today to help the depleted blue line corps. Kish formed a line of Paul Crowlev, Glenn Merkosky and Vince Mag-nan in Erie and the trio responded.

Crowley and Magnan, a pair 1 of muckers paired with a bevy of centers all season, have points in three straight. Paul Messier, who should be rewarded with a contract when his pro tryout expires, has points in four straight and 13 in 11 games. Mike Veisor will be in goal. Expos?"

The home team, favored to take a perfect record to the Sugar Bowl against Georgia, scored a couple of touchdowns. But a couple of touchdowns was a drop in the bucket; the underdog visitors from "the country" scored an embarrassing figure what was it, the high 40s or 50s? The No. 1 team's backfield golden boy, the Heisman Trophy candidate, wound up frustrated every way he toned. "The sugar in the Sugar Bowl turned to vinegar," wTote one reporter on the scene.
