Huckleby

By BILL STIEG
You don't have to look at the
field to find out if Harlan Huck-
leby has the ball. The crowd
will let you know.
An excited, expectant mur-
mur precedes every run by the
speedy tailback, who leads the
Michigan rushers with 288 yards
in two games.
Just the sight of quarter-
back Rick Leach running
down the line of scrimmage
on an option play is enough
to make fans lower their bot-

tle of wine, sit up and watch
closely.
In both of the Wolverines'
games this year, luckleby has
broken loose on that option play
for the kind of yardage that an
average runner takes all game
long to amass.
But there is nothing average
about Huckleby. The 6-2, 195
lb. sophomore can run the 40 in
4.37 seconds and the 100 in 9.5.
His distinctive name became
familiar to Wolverine fans last
season as second-string tail-

back, and now, as a starter, he
is one of the crowd's favorites.
But he doesn't hear the dull
roar of anticipation as a play
unfolds.
"After a run, you can hear
the crowd cheering," says Huck-
leby. "But once a play starts,
I don't hear anything."
Huckleby has scored four
touchdowns already this sea-
son, one on a stunning, 56-
yard breakaway which he
somehow made look routine.
Once he blew past the first
few defenders, there was no
doubt that he would outrun
the rest of the field.
But these heroics are some-
what routine for Huckleby.
"Maybe in one of the big,
close games like Ohio State,
when we're only ahead 7-0 or
something like that, and I score
a big touchdown,I'llthink about
what I've done."
"But right now, sometimes
I just feel humble. I don't
know how to explain it-I
just wonder, 'Why is it me
out there? Why am I so for-
tunate?'
Of course, there's a little
more than luck involved. Huck-
leby was a prep All - American

What can you do with only a bachelors degree?
Now there is a way to bridge the gap between an
undergraduate education and a challenging, respon-
sible career. The Lawyer's Assistant is able to do
work traditionally done by lawyers.
Three months of intensive training can give you
the skills-the courses are taught by lawyers. You
choose one of the seven courses offered-choose
the city in which you want to work.
Since 1970, The Institute for Paralegal Training
has placed more than 1600 graduates in law firms,
banks, and corporations in over 75 cities.
If you are a senior of high academic standing and
are interested in a career as a Lawyer's Assistant,
we'd like to meet you.

our representative.

bench in the fourth quarter and1
was replaced by Virgil Carter.
Chicago officials said Avellini
could have returned but the
quarterback didn't agree. "All I
would have done would have
been to hand off," he said.
In the same game, the Bears
lost veteran linebacker Doug
Buffone for the season with an
Achilles tendon injury.
Two other top defensive play-
ers, Denver tackle Lyle Alzado4
and St. Louis linebacker Greg
Hartle, also are out for thej

retired, the Bills spent the en-
tire preseason designing their
offense around Braxton. Simp-
son returned on the eve of the
opening game but Braxton last-
ed just two plays in that con-
test, ripping knee ligaments
against Miami. He, too, is gone
for the year.
The preseason took its toll as
well. Oakland running back
Mary Hubbard and defensive
lineman Horace Jones and Art
Thoms all were lost for the
year. The same thing happened
to wide receivers Charley Tay-
lor of Washington and Gerald
Tinker of Green Bay. The Red-
skins also lost guard Paul Laa-
veg and Green Bay linebacker
Jim Carter also is finished.
