176 yards, and a road nobody would recommend

I have been doing this long enough to have written off men like R. Winthrop III, who was an academic transfer who arrived at Fort Ridley to study engineering. 176 yards is the league's way of saying nothing is settled. Two of them found the end zone, in game 2 of his season. The ones who arrive like this tend to know what it cost. That is usually worth something in December.

This story ran on the wire in week 2 of 1986. The rest of the season is in the paper.
