Ohio State's junior tailback awarded Heisman Trophy
NEW YORK- Archie Griffin, Ohio State's spectacular tailback who weaved his way to a national rushing record this year, was named winner of the Heisman Trophy yesterday as the outstanding college player of 1974. He won in a handside vote.
From the Associated Press
Anthony Davis, Southern California's senior tailback, and Joe Washington, the tailback who powers Oklahoma's powerful defense, finished second and third, respectively.
In a vote of 849 electors from across the country, each of whom voted for first, second, third place. Griffin had 483 first place votes, 472 second place votes, and 31 third place votes. That gave him .1,920
points, more than double Davis' total
Davis had 120 first-place votes, 146 for second and 163 for third for 819 points. Washington had 87 firsts, 146 for second and 105 for third. No other player came close to those totals.
With the Rose Bowl game and a full senior season to go, Griffin has 4,064 yards in his first round appearance. More spectacular is his continuing NCAA record of having rushed for more than 100 yards in 22 consecutive games-plus the 1974 game throughout his sophomore and junior seasons.
This year he led the Buckeyes to a 10-1 regular-season record and totaled 1,620 yards, most among the nation's major colleges.

Milt Gibson and Clint Johnson are names that University of Kansas basketball fans will be hearing a lot during the next four years.

Gibson, Johnson shoot for playmaker berth
These two highly regarded freshmen guards are batting to take over the point guard position currently held by Dale Johnson. The former Jayhawks will be a lot better team when one of the new guards can take over the point because it will allow Greenlee to shoot more, however, Owens stressed that he is not going to men into the lineup before they are ready.
Gibson and Johnson also agreed that it was tough for a freshman to step in to run a basketball team. Johnson, Leavenworth freshman, has had several opportunities to watch Tom Kivisto direct the Jayhawk attack in the past three years.
"Our young guards have done a good job, but I just want to give them a little more time to get ready," Owens said. "I just don't want to be until he is ready to be a complete success."
"I haven't been pleased with the way I've been playing," Gibson said, "but I know it will come in time. Right now I'm in a period of adjustment, and I still have a long ways
to go to do the job adequately. It will come with experience."
Although both Gibson and Johnson handled the ball a lot in high school, Gibson said the playmaking role at Kansas is a lot different.
"When people watched him (Kivisto), they really didn't think he was doing a lot, they really was," Johnson said. "He meant to be hard, and he's going to be pretty hard to replicate."
Bigson came to Kansas from Goddard High School in Roswell, New Mexico, where he was named to the high school All-American team. His 26.5 scoring average helped him earn-State honors for years in a row. Bigson was also named the Southwest Basketball player of the year by the Southwest Sports News service based on
Both Johnson and Gibson came to KU after outstanding prep careers. Johnson was a senior at Leavenworth, an upper senior at Leavenworth, and he consensus All-State. He was also a member of the East squad in the 1974 Kansas All-Star and he scored 24 points in a losing cause.

As a result of their successes in upper school ball, both Johnson and Gibson were highly recruited. Johnson narrowed his choices to Iowa State, Creighton, West Texas State, Oklahoma State and Kansas before deciding to come here.
Gibson was recruited by Oral Roberts, Nebraska, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Kansas, and a lot of schools in the Southwest before selecting Kansas.
"I like to win so I figured I'd come to KU," Gibson said. "There were a lot of
Both agreed that the opportunity to play at a school with a winning tradition had had a lot to do with their final decisions to come to KU.
"KU always had a good team, and I liked the way the athletes were treated up here." Johnson said. "Besides, it was close to home. It was a pretty hard offer to refuse."
