College Football 1973 revives the perennial question—who's No. 1? But the Top 20, made up of teams from the leading conferences and major independents, do not play all the football across this nation, where on any Saturday afternoon the action may be as furious in Spearfish, S. Dak. as it is in South Bend. A selection of the best small-college teams is set off by James Drake's photographs of out-of-the-way football and John Underwood's inspection of the famous old Wabash-DePauw rivalry. Plus news stories on pro football, major league baseball and the Hambletonian, and a preview of the Bobby Riggs-Billie Jean King confrontation.
