White received 453 first place votes and 1,695 total points from the board of 1,050 voters from six geographical regions. White beat out last year’s winner, Oklahoma’s Billy Sims, and became the first Trojan to win the award since O.J. Simpson in 1968. The senior tailback was the seventh consecutive running back to receive the Heisman, announced at the Downtown Athletic Club. Sims received 82 first place votes and 773 points. Trailing White and Sims in the voting were Brigham Young quarterback Marc Wilson, Ohio State quarterback Art Schlichter and Yagas Ferguson, Notre Dame’s all-time leading rusher. White was named first in all six regions. Rounding out the top 10 were Southern Cal quarterback Paul McDonald, South Carolina fullback George Rogers, Purdue quarterback Mark Herrmann, Florida State defensive star Ron Simmons and Alabama quarterback Steadman Shealy. White, following in the tradition of the Trojans’ long line of brilliant tailbacks, capped a remarkable final season Nov. 24 by running for 194 yards and four touchdowns in leading the Trojans to a 49-14 rout of UCLA that clinched the Pac-10 title and a Rose Bowl berth. White, the third Trojan to win the award, finished the regular season with 1,803 yards on the ground, the most in the nation. He rushed for 5,598 yards in his career, second-best in NCAA history to Tony Dorsett’s 6,082, ran for 100 or more yards in 30 games and notched 52 career touchdowns, tying Anthony Davis’ school record. Southern Cal’s Mike Garrett won the Heisman in 1965. Sims won the Heisman as a junior last year after leading the nation in rushing and the Sooners’ tailback finished the regular season magnificently, running for 282 yards against Missouri before shredding Nebraska’s “Black Shirt” defense for 247 yards in Oklahoma’s 17-14 triumph Nov. 24. That Oklahoma victory clinched the Big Eight championship and gave the Sooners an Orange Bowl berth. Sims, who led the nation with 22 touchdowns, boosted his 1979 rushing total to 1,506 yards. He finished with a career average of 7.09 yards per carry — an NCAA record for backs with 500 rushing attempts or more. Wilson, a 6-foot-5 senior and a pure pocket passer, capitalized on Brigham Young’s rare national television exposure against San Diego State Nov. 24 — firing four TD passes and running for another to key a 63-14 rout that lifted Brigham Young to the WAG title and a date with Indiana in the Holiday Bowl Dec. 21. Wilson set an NCAA record for passing yardage in a season with 3,720 and threw for 29 TDs in his senior year as the Cougars led the nation in total and scoring offense. Schlichter led the Buckeyes to an 11-0 regular season and a Rose Bowl berth against White’s Trojans. The sophomore threw for 13 TDs and 1,519 yards and was intercepted only five times. Ferguson capped his Notre Dame career with a 177-yard, three-touchdown effort against Miami of Florida. Notre Dame’s all-time leading career rusher, Ferguson gained 1,437 yards in his senior season and scored 17 touchdowns. Make that El Paso United Press International AUSTIN — A travel agency planned a little too far ahead in publishing a newspaper ad boosting a “Sugar Bowl tour” to New Orleans for the “national championship” game between Texas and Alabama. Texas needed a victory over Texas A&M Saturday to earn a trip to the Sugar Bowl, but the Aggies won the contest 13-7, sending Texas instead to the Sun Bowl and Arkansas to the Sugar Bowl. In Monday’s newspaper, Travel Masters advertised two separate tour packages, including round trip air fair from Austin, four nights lodging, guaranteed reserved seats for the football game and professional tour escorts. PREVENT HRE i1b» Texas A&M flanker Gerald Carter pulls in a Mike Mos ley pass for a first down in the first quarter of the Aggies’ 13-7 victory over Texas. Carter played his last game for the Ags and went out in style catching seven passes for 77 yards against one of the top defensive secondaries in the nation.

From the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, Oct. 25, 1979 The Food and Drug Administration has received from the U. S. Brewers Asso ciation an update on the progress the industry is making in reducing the levels of nitrosamines in beer and other malt beverages. At the same time, FDA is releasing the results of testing it has conducted of nitrosamines in Scotch whiskeys. The Agency has found only trace levels of nitrosamines in Scotch. On the basis of the report from the Brewers Association and of its findings on Scotch, FDA reiterates its previous position that there is no reason for consumers to alter their consumption of these products. The U. S. Brewers Association reported on a survey it took of 44 brewing companies. It received responses from 95 percent of the firms. They make 99 percent of malt beverages brewed in the U. S. Every respondent reported that it has taken measures to alter its brewing process to reduce nitrosamine formation, the industry told FDA. The method used to reduce nitrosamine formation consists primarily of lowering the tempera ture of the open flame used to dry the barley malt while extending the drying time. In addition, sulphur is added to the fire during this procedure to retard further nitrosamine formation. Half the malt beverages now being made in the U. S. are being made with malt processed this way, and that should rise to more than eighty percent next month, the industry said. In a statement today. Dr. Jere Goyan, Commissioner of FDA, said: /y FDA will test domestic beers after January 1 for nitrosamine content. The results of these tests will be made public immediately. Any beers produced after January 1 that contain nitrosamines at levels that can reliably be detected — that is, above 5 parts per billion — will be subject to regulatory action."’ It has been known since late last year that trace amounts of nitrosamines enter beer through the process by which the barley malt is dried. This was first reported by tests conducted in West Germany. In addition, tests by the Brewers Associa tion, by a contractor for the National Science Foundation (NSF) and by FDA itself confirmed the presence of trace amounts of nitrosamines in beer. Research by the malt beverage industry to identify the source of the nitrosamines and to develop ways to reduce their presence has been closely monitored by FDA. The method used to detect nitrosamines is scientifically reliable only at levels above 5 parts per billion. Findings below this level are not regarded as being scientifically reliable because of lack of the method's sensitivity. FDA's tests on Scotch whiskey also confirm findings by a contractor for NSF. The NSF study found trace amounts of nitrosamines — at an average of one part per billion — in six of seven Scotches tested. FDA tested 29 Scotches and also found trace levels ot nitrosamines ranging from none to 2.3 parts per billion. As with beer, FDA does not regard findings of less than 5 parts per billion in Scotch to be scientifically reliable. The FDA findings are similar to the levels found in the NSF-sponsored study. — . ■ — advertisement —- . i —
