Pick Hugh McElhenny Bert Rose, general manager of the Vikings, announced the players picked from eight teams during the day. The The obvious gag, of course, j identity of the San Francisco is that the Vikings wouldn't have to be much better to surpass the Cowboys' record of 11 defeats and one tic. However, considering the first 30 experienced players the Vikings selected Thursday from 10 other National Foot' ball League teams to comple ment their 20 college draftees and quarterback George Shaw, foo'ball men attending the league meetings this week feel Minnesota should win a few games next season The Vikings' selection from the last two teams - the Chi cago Bears and Pittsburgh Steclers- were due to be an nounced today.

Hugh McElhenny, once one of the NFL's outstanding run ning halfbacks, was one of the San Francisco ; players picked. The others were line backer Clancy Osborne and center Karl Rubke. McEl- henny has been in the league nine seasons. The Los Angeles selectees all were first-year men. They were linebacker Jerry Stal- cup, defensive back Don Eller- sick and offensive guard Charles Janerette. There was one marked dif ference between the Vikings' choices and the players tapped by Dallas last year. Whereas the Cowboys went for over- the-hill "name" players, Min nesota showed a preference for younger men. Selections Surprise Rozelle Rose said that of the 36 players selected, 13 were first year pros last season, eight were second-year men, and only six have played more than four seasons in the league. I was surprised at some of the good . names they picked," commented Commis sioner Pete Rozelle. "The Vik ings did a fine job of selecting." Besides McElhenny, the out standing veteran players se lected were Don Joyce of the Baltimore Colls, a defensive end who has played 10 pro seasons, offensive end Dave Middleton of the Detroit Lions and offensive guard Red Stephens of the Washington Redskins. Middleton and Ste phens are six-year men. Bill Lapham, an offensive center who started more than half the games for the cham pion Philadelphia Eagles; line backer Zeke Smith of the Colts and defensive halfback Dick Mostardo of the Cleve land Browns appeared to be the standout first-year men selected.

The Bulldog bombardier put on perhaps his greatest show Thursday night as Gon zaga rolled over the Cal Ag gies, 123-79, in a wild basket ball contest at Spokane. Burgess connected on 18 of 38 scoring attempts and hit 16 of 17 free throws for 52 points. This total broke the Spokane Coliseum mark ot 44 shared by Burgess and Seat tle's Elgin Baylor. His production also topped a 50-point school mark set four years ago by the 7-foot-plus Frenchman Jean lc Febvre. The 123-point binge was also a Coliseum record, H.t 11 ISJ( GANG UP ON RAIDER-Leon Wilson (20) of Oregon Tech and an unidentified team mate, gang up on Gordon Carrigan of Southern Oregon In late moments of Oregon Collegiate conference basketball game at -Ashland on Tuesday night.

Eagle Point Tunes for IV Cougars Eagle Point - Eagle Point high, needing a win to stay alive in the Rogue league bas ketball race, entertains Illi nois Valley this evening. The Eagles (1-3) can knot with IV (2-2) in third or fourth place in the standings should they beat the Cougars. Anoth er Rogue game tonight has Phoenix (2-2) at Rogue River (0-4). Henley and Lakeview (each 4-1) have no league play this week. In the Eagle drills, accord ing to Coach Dale Bates, the squad has worked hard on improving its shooting eye, Failure to fire as accurately from the field as its rivals, has hurt the Eagles much in the loop so far. Bates said that Tom Perdue and Mike Palm may be at guards and Dick Wilson at a forward this evening with the choice among Ron Greb, Ron Weidman and Charles Pom- eroy for the other two spots, Wilson, who lias recovered from shin splints, did good work for EP against Phoenix last week. Eagle Point goes to Yreka, Calif., on Saturday night. Ford Given Same Pay By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Some get raises, like Elston Howard, and some lake cuts. like Robin Roberts, and some, like Whitey Ford, figure they wind un better in the long run with the same money year after year. Ford, still the southpaw ace of the New York Yankees' pitching staff, signed his third straight contract for $35,000 Thursday. Tin happy, said the soft- spoken 32-ycar-old left-hander. "I didn't ask for a raise and I didn't get one. But I didn't take a cut either." Here's the way that works. Whitey was given his first $35,000 contract in 1359 off his 14-7 showing the previous season. Then when several of his teammates were cut last winter, Ford received the same pay for his 18-10 record. Last year was Whitey s worst in nine seasons with the club. He won 12 and lost nine. but several of his victories were among the Yankees most-needed ones. So they de cided he didn't deserve to be sliced for next year and Ford. feeling they were being more than fair, promptly scrawled his signature on a .contract. He had still another reason to be happy. Manager Ralph Honk has promised to work him more often and that's ex actly what Whitey wants.
