Bowl champion Miami Dolphins, was No. 2 in the draft. The steamroller running back was chosen by the Toronto Northmen. The Northmen, who are fighting the Canadian government, which is trying to protect the CFL by outlawing teams from United States-based leagues, also announced the signing of Arizona State’s Danny White, the first quarterback picked in the NFL college draft last January. He was the Dallas Cowboys’ third-round choice. The New York Stars of the WFL signed John Elliott, a sev-en-year defensive tackle with the NFL’s New York Jets. Elliott played out his option in 1973, becomes a free agent May 1 and says he will play when the new league opens its first season in July.

Marquette To Third In College Cage Poll

By The Associated Press Marquette beat the team that beat Notre Dame and as a result moved up to third place in The Associated Press’ weekly college basketball poll released

Monday.

The Warriors, who edged Michigan 72-70 in the NCAA Mideast Regionals, were ranked behind North Carolina State and UCLA, who retained the top two positions. Notre Dame, third a week ago, slipped down

to fifth.

N.C. State, 28-1 after beating Pittsburgh in the NCAA quar-ter-finals, received 20 firstplace votes and 616 points, just 16 points more than the Bruins, 25-3 and going for an unequalled eighth straight NCAA title. The Bruins held on to their No. 2 berth with 12 top votes after edging Dayton in triple-over-time and then mauling San Francisco. Three of the top four teams
