THE appellation "pretty boy" always made handsome John Derek so mad that he spent a lot more time at strenuous sports; riding, hunting, football, than his pals did. The result---a skill at athletics that served him well in playing the son of one of history's most agile figures, Robin Hood. Now he's displaying his physical prowess in a modern setting, in title role of "The Hero," which deals. with the short-lived glory of a college football star. His studio, Columbia, bought "The Hero" some time ago and John, who's always wanted to do it, feels this is his best break yet.
