THIS SCOUTING COMBINE LOOKS OVER THE OVERLOOKED FOOTBALL PLAYERS

In the case of Billy Joe Hedgepath, the Free Agent Scouting Combine (FASC) did its job: It got him a chance. As a 5'10", 197-pound halfback from Southwest Missouri State, Hedgepath had been passed over in the 1982 NFL draft, at three free-agent camps and by an Exxon dealer back home in Gary, Ind. who told him he was overqualified to pump gas.
Real's camper will be on the road again in December, touring the Southern states in preparation for the USFL draft. For details write Free Agent Scouting Combine, 135 Prospect Ave., Elmhurst, Ill. 60126, or call (312)941-0185.
