Now you can
why there might be a shred
of discontent among some pro
fessional “We’re football victims players. of
our
times,” offensive says John guard Gordy, who an
all-pro signed with the Lions eight
long years ago. “Snre, some of
the guys would like to do
something about it, but
what?”
Gordy is the lions’
representative, busy which the past
he’s been
weeks trying between to act as an
termediary the the
office and first group
NFL players to state
their contempt for

“We had a explained, meeting

salaries.
“The “is whole thing,"
said, that as a group
quota is the same as in recent
months, Clay will be In the
Army before the fight, which
cannot be moved to an earlier
date. If Clay is drafted, his title
will be frozen until his
discharge, a minimum of two
years.
“Why pick me?” was the
immediate reaction of Clay,
who was contacted at his
Miami Beach training headquar
ters. "Why seek me out and
hold a special one and a half
hour meeting on it?
‘‘I pay the salaries of at least
2,000 men a year. For two
fights I pay for two modern
bomber Jets. I can’t understand
why they picked me without
testing me to see If I’m wiser
or worser. I’m fighting in a
game nine out of 10 soldiers

Clay added.
Clay had flunked two Army
intelligence tests to be categor

the Army lowered its

Clay Is sure to appeal the
board’s decision although Sher
man, a Louisville attorney, said
he dld not think a title fight
would constitute a legal reason
for a deferment. If Clay’s
appeal Is turned down unani
mously, then the champ has
recourse. But If it’s a
decision, he can take bis
to Washington.
