In Pro Draft
Bills, Rams, Steelers
Helped Selves Most
By JOE CARNICELLI
UPI Sports Writer
NEW YORK (UPl)—The pro
football teams scoured the
smaller schools in search of
unknown talent Wednesday but
when the 1969 draft ended the
clubs still wound up taking the
most players from their top
reservoir of talent — Notre
Dame.
Six Notre Dame players were
picked in the first seven rounds
Tuesday and five more were
grabbed in the final 10 rounds
Wednesday for the total of 11.
Surprisingly enough, the teams
bypassed Coley ■ O’Brien but
Dallas did select Bob Belden,
who was never better than third
string quarterback for the Irish.
Grambling, which has sent
more players to the pros than
any other school but Notre
Dame, again was a prime
source of talent for the pros.
Seven players from Grambling
were drafted in the final 10
rounds and one was taken
Tuesday for a total of eight.
Small Schools Tapped
Among the other small
schools tapped were tiny Alcorn
A&M, Arkansas AM&N, Texas
Southern and Tuskegee. Tuske-

gee and Alcorn each had five
players picked on the second
day.
Os the 442 players taken, 247
were chosen for offense and 195
for defense. Running backs
were most in demands with 70
of them taken besides O.J.
Simpson, the No. 1 pick.
The players picked from
Notre Dame Wednesday were
Bob Gladieux, Eric Norri,
Belden, John Lavin and Tom
Quinn. The six players picked in
the first seven rounds Tuesday
were George Kunz, Jim Sey
mour, Terry Hanratty, Bob
Kuchenberg, Jim Winegardner
and Ed Tuck.
The second day of action
opened when Buffalo drafted
James Harvey of Virginia Tech
and Philadelphia took Bill
Hobbs, the All-America line
backer from Texas A&M.
Big Names
Other big names going
Wednesday were Richard Pick
ens, Tennessee fullback to
Houston; Jimmy Weatherford,
Tennessee defensive back, to
Atlanta; Charley Jarvis, Army
fullback, to San Diego; Edd
Hargett, Texas A&M quarter
back to New Orleans and
Buster O’Brien, Richmond quar
terback, to Denver.
The three teams that seemed
to help themselves the most in
the draft were Buffalo, Pit
tsburgh and Los Angeles.
Buffalo could be the most
improved club with both Simp
son and Bill Enyart. Pittsburgh
was strengthened on both
defense and offense with Joe
Greene, Hanratty and Warren
Bankston. Los Angeles now
seems ready to make a stronger
challenge at Baltimore with
Larry Smith added to the
backfield, another pass receiver
in Seymour and a good tight
end in Bob Klein.
The Super Bowl champion
New York Jets also helped
themselves by getting Dave
Foley to plug their offensive
tackle spot.
Three basketball players,
George Thompson of Marquette,
Steve Howell of Ohio State and
Kenny Spain of Houston were
drafted along with hurdler
Willie Davenport of Southern
University.
76ers Rout
Hawks, 119-96
By United Press International
The Philadelphia 76ers may
wind up winning the Eastern
Division title of the National
Basketball Association this sea
son even without Wilt Chamber
lain.
When the 76ers shipped
Chamberlain to Los Angeles at
the end of last season, the club
was given little chance of
repeating as Eastern titlist. But
the club has remained in the
race and crept within one game
of idle Baltimore Wednesday
night with a 119-96 victory over
Atlanta.
The victory also enabled
Wilt’s new club, the Lakers, to
stretch their lead to games
over Atlanta in the West by
edging San Diego 122-120.
In the other three games,
Seattle stunned Boston 124-122
in overtime, San Francisco
topped Detroit 133-126 and
Phoenix beat Milwaukee 111-107.
Bill Cunningham scored 18 of
his 24 points in the second half
as the 76ers topped Atlanta. Hal
Greer added 21 for the 76ers
while Lou Hudson paced Atlanta
with 23.
Chamberlain scored 30 points

Skirting the Issue
NEW YORK—(NEA)—
Carol Mann sleeps, deep and
untroubled. Wispy yellow
hair splays across her
pillow. She breathes evenly
into the sheets. Ah, the
sweet, sweet hay.
As she sleeps, Miss Mann
dreams. As she dreams, her
untroubled sleep disappears.
In her mind’s eye, she sees
a phantasmagorical mon
tage:
Two thick legs in green
shorts and white golf shoes
tromping on a red green
labeled “LPGA” against a
backdrop of pink miniskirts
and burgundy culottes. Up
in a corner, detached, is
Arnold Palmer’s best smirk.
The specter awakens Miss
Mann. It is enough to awak
en anyone; in particular, it
is enough to awaken the
Ladies Professional Golfers
Association. There are those
who say it’s about time.
For years, the LPGA was
associated with husky,
leather-faced women who
waddled around golf courses
in renovated pup tents.
They called it women’s golf,
but the only way to be sure
was to look at the scores. If
the tournament winner shot
78 and won by five strokes,
yep, it was women’s golf.
No more. Now, thanks in
part to Miss Mann, the
LPGA is striving hard to
wipe away at least one of
the obstacles that blur girl
golfers’ dreams. Skirts are
coming, says tour director
Lennie Wirtz. Shorts are go
ing.
It has not been easy. Any
one who has ever tried to
line up a putt in a miniskirt
can appreciate the problem.
“It has taken a little bit of
courage as well as a lot of
practice to make the transi
tion,” Miss Mann says.
as the Lakers withstood a
fourth period rally by San Diego
to beat the Rockets. San Diego
narrowed an 18-point deficit to
two points but couldn’t overtake
the Lakers.
Len Wilkens scored seven
points in overtime as Seattle
rallied to upset Boston. Bob
Rule had 26 points for the
winners while Sam Jones led
the Celtics with 39 points.
Jeff Mullins scored his career

“It’s very uncomfortable
at first You have to learn
how to stoop and bend and,
you know, keep those knees
together. It’s worth it,
though. We’re re-educating
the public. It’s the younger
girls coming up who will
profit from it.”
The “change” is catching
on.
Marilynn S m i t h, for ex
ample, has worn skirts for
years — long skirts that
dropped below her knees.
They were her trademark.
Now with some encourage
ment, she has shortened her
hem line considerably,
ugly knees,” said Miss
Mann, “but they weren’t
ugly, they were just white.”
The touch of feminism this
year doubtlessly will help
the lady golfers’ appeal,
especially to male golfers.
But t h e r e are other prob
lems.
Male golfers, for instance,
are a problem. Whether it
likes it or not, the LPGA is
competing against the PGA
pro for its adherents. Men
like Palmer and Jack Nick
laus grin at the mention of
competition from the ladies’
tour.
“We’ve got our own ap
peal, though,” Miss Mann
says. “Men are expected to
play great golf but if you
got soma 1 i ttl e thing out
there in a miniskirt making
birdies and eagles right and
left, it’s something to see.”
Miss Mann is not a little
thing. At 6-foot-3, she is
taller than Mickey Mantle,
Carl Yastrzemski or Johnny
Unitas. Still, she exudes
femininity because, Carol
has said, she works on it.
Pink miniskirts do marvel
ous things for tall blondes.
high as a pro of 42 points as
San Francisco topped Detroit.
Nate Thurmond added 34 for
the Warriors. Dave Bing had 32
for Detroit.
Gail Goodrich sank an 18-foot
jumper and two free throws in
the final seconds as the Phoenix
Suns edged Milwaukee. Good-
Ich finished with 33 points while
Len Chappell had 27 for Milwau
kee.

Patriots’ head coach and
general manager on Jan. 7.
Sullivan flew to Mobile, Ala., to
tell Holovak, an a scouting
mission, of his in the
second year of a 5-year
contract.
But the club said Rush was
being considered only for the
coach’s job and apparently the
position of genera' manager
I was still open.
