...possibility of its being shaken on cross-examination was "wholly unreal." Moreover, Stewart said that the testimony "was of peripheral significance at most," since 20 witnesses testified and were available for cross-examination-including another co-conspirator who described in detail the crime and Evans' part in it. Three justices agreed with Stewart; two of them, Justice Harry Blackmun and Chief Justice Warren Burger, went on to argue that even if the judge made an error by admitting the evidence, it was a harmless error...

Brockington, a pile-driving plunger who "picks up three yards when the hole isn't there," as one pro scout was overheard to remark, set an O.S.U. record this season with 1,040 yds. gained. Ranked as one of the best of a long line of classic Buckeye fullbacks, he is also an effective receiver on swing patterns and has great breakaway speed.
