From AP Marcus Allen, the Southern Califor- nia tailback who virtually rewrote the NCAA record book with eight 200-yard games and more than 2,000 yards on the season, easily captured the 1981 Heisman Trophy last night. Michigan's all-purpose receiver An- thony Carter, who finished 10th in the balloting last season, wound up seventh in. this season's selection process. ALLEN BECAME the fourth USC tailback to claim the prestigious trophy, which is presented annually by polls second, A.C. seventh ., the Downtown Athletic Club to the out- standing college football player in America. The other USC winners were Mike Garrett in 1965, O.J. Simpson in 1968 and Charles White in 1979. "I guess I've found my place in history," Allen said. "In acting, it's the Oscar, In football, it's the Heisman." The USC star said the Heisman was "an award you can't win by yourself. I'd like to thank the team, my parents and, most of all, God, for allowing this to happen.. . This is a very humbling experience." ALLEN TOTALED 1,797 points in the balloting to capture the award. He had to withstand strong challenges from Georgia running back Herschel Walker, quarterbacks Jim McMahon of Brigham Young, Art Schlichter of Ohio State and Dan Marino of Pit- tsburgh. Walker, Georgia's brilliant sophomore who finished third in the Heisman voting last year, was second behind Allen, receiving 1,199 points. McMahon was third with 706 points, followed by Marino with 256 and Schlichter with 149 in the voting by a nationwide panel of sports writers and broadcasters. THE ANNOUNCEMENT of Allen's selection climaxed an hour-long television special broadcast from the Downtown AC, which was awarding the Heisman for the 46th time since inaugurating the award in 1935 when Jay Berwanger of the University of Chicago won it. Allen's Heisman credentials were awesome. He set 10 NCAA records and tied another during the 1981 season for the 9-2 Trojans.

The forward from Grand Rapids originally left the team on November 23 following Michigan's exhibition game against Windsor, saying later that his school work was suffering because he was "upset with the way (he) was playing." FOLLOWING THE Windsor contest, Burton, without telling anybody, drove his corvette all the way to Los Angeles in an effort to escape the pressures in what he later termed a "hasty decision.".After staying with relatives for 10 days, Burton flew back to Grand Rapids last Wednesday and returned to Ann Arbor on Thursday. Upon returning, Burton said that he was "definitely coming back to school," but was unsure of his status on the basketball team. But, following yesterday's meeting with Frieder, he decided to give up basketball. Burton came to Michigan from Catholic Central High School in Grand Rapids. As a high school senior, he averaged 17 points and 14 rebounds a game and was named to the Detroit News Dream Team. Last season, as a freshman, Burton saw action in 18 01 Burton .. officially quits games and averaged 1.7 points per con- test.
