College Basketball gets a hearty welcome back—especially from teams not named UCLA—as a full-court press is on to tie up the national championship. Scouting reports rate the top 20 teams, with the pick for No. 1 a No. 1 surprise, and big schools and small are assessed, including one hot junior college located hard by what are termed the "world's whitest beaches." Curry Kirkpatrick completes the preview with a wacky look at a wacky conference, the WAC. In addition, the usual news and features, including Ray Kennedy's report of the Ohio State-Michigan football showdown and Dan Jenkins' analysis of the Super-hot Oakland Raiders.
