Boston's choice. Doak Walker, Sou
thern Methodist ace.
Why didn't Detroit pick Walker
In the first place? Well the hocus
pocus tiansaction went this way.
When the NFL held its secret
draft meeting at Pittsburgh No
vember 15, Detroit chose Rauch
and Boston Walker. Since that
time, Detroit reasoned that it had
two fine passers in Fred Enke and
Clyde LeFoice of this year's squad
and could use a runner. By a sim
ilar study. Owner Ted Collins of
the Yanks decided he might be
able to use a pas;er. Net result
was a quick meeting of the minds
today and Rauch the passer went
to Boston for Walker the runner.
Of course Detroit will have to
wait a year for Walker to gradu
ate while Boston can attempt to
sign Rauch after he graduates this
spring.
The Green Bay Packers official
ly announced they had drawn Stan
Heath, Nevada's passin' man, as
.their first choice. Heath was an
other of the plajers plucked from
the hat in the November meeting.
Washington's initial selection
was Bob Gocde. Texas A&M back
the Redskins already have announ
ced as signed for next year. Pitts
burgh grabbed Clemson's hard -running
Bobby Gage as its num
ber one selection while the New
York Giants named Al Derogatis,
Duke tackle, r-n first pick., The
Chicago Bear- opened up with
Dick Harris, Texas center, while
the western division champion
Chicago Card r.ils grabbed off No
tre Dame's fi-.e tackle. Bill Fisch
er on first effect.
The champion Philadelphia Eag
les had acquired the draft right to
Penn's all - America center, Char
ley Bednarik, in the NFL's special
bonus player draw. Today, Coach
Greasy Neale reached for Frank
Burns, Rutgers quarterback. The
Los Angeles Rams designated Bob
by Thomason, Virginia Military in
stitute back, as their first choice
Second choice of the Washing
. ton Redskins was Washington
State's ace tackle, Lauri Niemi.
They also drafted two other Pa

Southern California and Gene
Frasetto of Ca'ifornia, both tackles.
CLEVELAND, Dec. 21 -OP-Doak

Shrine Players
Visit 'Reason'
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 21 -OP)
The Shrine players saw today the
reason for the east - west football
game here New Year's day. Forty
five husky young gridders from the
two squads made the annual vis
it to the Shriners hospital for
crippled children.
There they met the little boys
and girls with the twisted small
bodies.
After the visit, Mickey Adz.
West team center from Santa
Clara, summed up player senti
ment thoughtfully: "Just like what
the coach says when you see
this you want to go out and play
a game."
Each little girl had a "chosen"
"player one whose name had
been assigned and whose school
colors she displayed in ribbons in
her hair and in gay crepe paper
pompoms.

If you weren't in line some 18 !

much hope of buying a ticket to
the Rose Bowl football game. Six
I thousand of the $5.50 tickets go

morrow. But each customer may
buy two, which means few, if any,
more than 3,000 successful appli

showed there were that many on

TACOMA, Dec. 21 -UP)- The
regular mid - winter meeting of
the Western International baseball
directors has been called to be
held at the Dessert hotel in Spo
kane January H, it was announced
here today by President Robert
AbeL The meeting will be held in
the eastern Washington city at
this time due to the situation ex
isting there relative to the destruc
tion by fire about two months ago
of the stands at Ferris field.
"The Spokane club is one of the
most important members of the
league and we must see that the
stands are rebuilt in time for the
opening of the 1949 season,' Abel
said.
"By that date we should know
what sort of answer we will have
from the insurance company. Much
depends on what it will do. When
we learn that we can then go
ahead with our plans," he said-
