Rams players "leaked out'
around midnight.
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.

Ford Given

Some get raises, like Elston

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.

Hawaiian Grid
Curtain Falls
Honolulu (UPI) The curtain
fell on intercollegiate football
at the University of Hawaii
"for the lime being" today.
The school's nine-man board
of regents, acting on recom
mendations by President Lau
rence H. Snyder and the board
of athletic control, Thursday
voted unanimously to curtail
the school's grid program.
Contracts for the nine-game
intercollegiate schedule for
the 1961 season, including
four on the mainland and five
at home, will be canceled im
mediately. Included on the schedule
was a contest with the Uni
versity of Oklahoma here.
Other colleges on the list
were the University of the
Pacific, Brigham Young Uni
versity, Washington State, San
Jose State, Los Angeles State,
Pepperdine, Fresno State and
University of Arizona. ,
The regents did leave the
way open for the university
to field a team against local
competition, including the
many armed service teams in
the area.
Financial difficulties and
player eligibility problems
had plagued the school over
the past few seasons.
