O. J. Simpson, U.S.C.'s record-breaking runner, has been awarded the Heisman Trophy as the best college football player of 1968.

Simpson's closest rival for the honor was Leroy Keyes of Purdue who received 1103 points to Simpson's 2853. Terry Hanratty, Notre Dame's quarterback, was a poor third with 387 points.

Workhorse

Simpson has been the workhorse of Southern California, carrying the ball 334 times, a record, and gaining 1654 yards, another national record. U.S.C. is ranked number two in the nation with nine straight victories and will play in the Rose Bowl.

Simpson, Keyes, and Hanratty are also on the UPI All-America team, which was chosen Monday. Bill Enyurt of Oregon State fills out the starting backfield at fullback.

The rest of the offensive team was: ends, Jim Seymour (Notre Dame) and Ted Kwalick (Penn State); tackles, Dave Foley (Ohio State) and George Kunz (Notre Dame); guards, Charles Rosenfelder (Tennessee) and Guy Dennis (Florida); center, John Didion (Oregon State).

Brian Dowling, who was named honorable All-American, was the only player from New England mentioned in the poll.
