There is a version of H. Whistleman's life where none of this happens. He was a walk-on at Hollisburg who did not have a scholarship until his third year. Instead: 163 yards. He is 34, and he keeps his own counsel and his own hours. It counts the same as anybody else's.

This story ran on the wire in week 2 of 1983. The rest of the season is in the paper.
