The Steelers won the "bonus" pick at the league's 21st selec tion meeting and passed over such offensive football players as Howie (Hopalong) Cassaday of Ohio State and Earl Morrall of Michigan State in favor of Glick, one of the top defensive backs in the nation. "We drew to our weakness," Coach Walt Kiesling said as he explained why the Steelers took Glick as a sleeper choice. "He's a do-everything ball player, and while we plan to use him on the defense, we could send him to quarterback on the offense." Sets Pattern The surprise selection of Glick set the pattern of the owners who all but ignored All Ameri ca collegians as they made the first three rounds of the draft at the earlier than usual date to avoid any possible legal action with Canadian promoters. Only four of the 1955 All America first team were picked up in the three rounds of selec tions, a total of 37 players drafted.
