Stanford's Plunkett Wins Heisman Trophy In 11 games this season he has passed for 2,715 yards and 1) touchdowns. He ranks No. 2 nationally in total offense with an average of 263.5 yards a game.

The voting is counted on a 3-2-1 basis- with Plunkett getting 510 first-place votes, 285 seconds and 129 thirds. Thiesmann had 242 firsts and Manning 138 firsts in the balloting conducted by the Downtown Athletic Club. Rounding out the first five were fullback Steve Worster of Texas with 47 firsts and 398 points and Rex Kern, Ohio State quarterback, with 17 firsts and 188 points. Statistically, Plunkett had a better season last year as a New York UP) Jim Plunkett, Stanford's rifle-armed quarterback who is college football's all-time king of total offense and passing yardage, won the Heisman Trophy Tuesday as college football's outstanding of 1970. Plunkett received a total of 2,229 points from the 1,059 electors in a battle as expected with two other highly-touted quarterbacks Joe Thiesmar.n of Notre Dame and Archie Manning of Mississippi.

Thiesmann was second with 1,410 points and Manning third with 849. Plunkett; a 6-3, 204-pounder, is expected to be a top pro draft pick. Bow to By STEVE GUSS It was just a matter of when the weariness would set in. An outmanned and tired Nebraska freshman basketball team hung on for 10 minutes against the Cornhusker varsity Monday night before the -pressure caught up with the yearlings in a 67-38 loss. Frosh coach Moe Iba, going with only seven men, two of whom played very little, managed to hold off Joe i i a inside-outside threats of Chuck Jura and Marvin Stewart until midway through the first half at the NU Coliseum.

The freshmen, holding a lead with 9:57 to play, failed to can a field goal during the next eight minutes as the varsity shot out to a 29-17 advantage with 2:09 left. Jura, getting 13 first half points, most of them inside the free throw lane, did most of the early damage. Then Stewart pumped in four baskets late in the half to push the varsity in front, 33-19, at the intermission. The Huskers shot just a shade under 50 per cent from the field, putting 15 of 31 nunkett is Basically a passer, the dropback type pro scouts look for. He's expected to be the No.

1 choice of the pros in the winter draft of college players. But the former high school wrestler also has good running ability netting 343 yards rushing in his college career. He can take the physical pounding dealt to a quarterback by rushing linemen. Before the Washington game, a newspaper said Plunkett had a sore arm. In the first quarter, he threw a ball about 60 yards, just missing his receiver.

The story was obviously wrong. "The city race will be, like always, real even again," Johnson predicts while looking to the Immediate future. "It certainly was that' way last year. We could play with anybody -on any given night, and so could the others." Johnson feels that speed and ball handling will be the strong points for the Links this year, while the lack of height will be the biggest drawback to overcome. "We've always relied on speed to make, up for the lack of height," he says.

"We hope our outsfde shooting will improve. We need a better balance than we had last year to succeed." Johnson is a little worried about the Links opening games. "We were delayed in our start by av full week when our Northeast football game was postponed," he points out. "Then last week we had the state gymnastics meet in our gym for two days and had to go searching for a place to work out." But you. can bet when they blow the whistle for the opening game, Johnson will have the Links ready to go.

We are also breaking better," noted Joe. "The freshmen got tired and this helped us because they were so outmanned.

We played well with the exception of a few careless mistakes. "You could see the improvement in Jura, Stewart and (Leroy) Chalk. I also thought Gregory and (Tony) Riehl had good opening nights," said Cip. The Husker coach, who indicated he basically knew who would be his starters for the NU opener Dec. 1 against Wyoming, used a number of guard combinations, but kept Jura, Chalk and Mike Peterson underneath most of the night.

Cipriano had praise for the play of freshmen Brendy Lee (6-8), Dave Rezac (6-5) and Tom Novak (6-1). "I thought the board play of Lee and Rezac was good." Lee had 14 rebounds, the same number 83 Chalk pulled down. Neither Lee nor Rezac shot exceptionally well, with Brendy 3- 15 and Dave 1-9. Bob Allen, a 6-7 forward was 4-7. Novak, however, turned in a poised effort at guard in running the freshmen out front.

He had 12 points, but also was only 4- 14 from the field. "They played like I thought they'd play. It's what I expected good experience for the freshmen. It certainly wasn't the kind of pressure they're used to in practice," said Iba.

The 23-yearold athlete is the son of blind Mexican-American parents He could have played pro ball this year because he was a redshirt three, seasons ago and his original class graduated last spring. But he decided to stay, saying, "Coach Ralston, all our coaches and my teammates have been building something at Stanford for the past couple of years.

If I were to leave, I would always have the feeling that I let them down." Marshall Huntington, W.Va. LP) A.hot sun beat down on the Marshall University, practice field this past August as Rick Tolley paced the sidelines with a reporter, intently watching his eager troops prepare for the upcoming season that held bright hopes. "We'll ve all right," the young head coach saiu then. He paused for another moment, briefly shouted instructions to a quarterback, and said: "Our boys have something unusual it's something a little special. Call it a special kind of spirit." Tuesdays in Huntington, the last remains of that "special spirit" Tolley and this city were so proud of will be buried in six adjacent graves six bodies that could not be positively identified.

The six were among 46 Marshall players, coaches and athletic staffers killed in the 75 death jetliner disaster Nov. 14. They were also part of Tolley's "special spirit" part of a drive that had seen the 8,500 student university's football team shred a 27-game winless streak and a recruiting scandal with a young team that was promising. On that hot August day Tolley explained that he was talking about a kind of spirit born out of "close long-time relationships." "You know we have a lot of boys who've known each other for a long time," he said. "That will be valuable to us as time goes on." The closeness Tolley spoke of was evident 14 of the Thundering Herd's 22 starters came to Marshall from three places.

Three came from Cincinnati's Moeller High School, four were life-long friends from Tuscaloosa, and seven were graduates of Ferrum Junior College in Virginia. All started for the Thundering Herd.

He's a winner." The victory over the Huskies Nov. 7 clinched the Pacific-8 football title for the Indians and gave them their first Rose Bowl invitation in 19 years. Plunkett threw four touchdown passes in the game, including one that brought his team from behind in the final period. "I'd hate to think where we'd be without Jim Plunkett," said Coach John Ralston. "We'd be going somewhere, but not toward the Rose Bowl." Adkins, Henderson and Knollenberg, "I'm not sure where we'll go.

The competition for the other spots is Very keen and close between a number of the boys. That's good, of course," he adds. "That kind of competition brings out the best in each of them."
