...Notre Dame Coach Ara Parseghian were a pro football scout, he might well select Running Back Anthony Davis of Southern California as the 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.

Aside from its 11,649,000 native citizens, the state of Texas claims a number of honorary citizens, including Am Parseghian and Eva Gabor.

A wispy 6 ft., 170 Ibs., Theismann is what Coach Ara Parseghian calls "a darting scrambler" -a rabbity runner who can turn a broken pass play into a long gainer. He is so effective that the Irish have piled up an average of 544 yds. a game to lead the country in total offense-and total exposure. Each week Notre Dame...

"I chose Notre Dame," she says as smiling Notre Dame men mill about her singing We Shall Overcome and making the peace sign, "because to kids in The Movement it is a very symbolic place. I mean, you know, Ara Parseghian is really a kind of guru, and you know the whole campus just gives off this real sense of freedom. You can do your own thing here, and you just can't do it in the Purdue Marching Band...
