Grid League
Convention
yes Draft
Pro-League May Postpone
Picking College Players
Until Sure of Operation
By DAVE HOFF
CHICAGO, April 6 OP) Item
No. 1 on the National Football
league convention's business pro
gram today was the oncc-post-poncd
draft of college players,
but it was expected to meet the
same fate this time and be drop
ped to Thursday's closing ses
sion. As owners and coaches opened
their three-day parley with Com
missioner Elmer Lnyricn tho
theme was one of confidence re
garding the 1043 season. How
ever the magnates were just
skeptical enough that they want
ed to delay, the draft of - last
year's coilege seniors until it
was proved to them the league
would have sufficient personnel
to operate this year.
In alt likelihood the pro lodp
will uncork few, if any, players
from the college draft, the selec
tive service program having s
priority on stalwart males right
now. However most of the clubs
planned to put In their bids any
way as an investment for the
post-war days.
Layden said there were enough
3-A players available, "some
where in the country" to aiiow
each ciub its minimum of men
for 1043. Ha said that even un
der an ncceleruted selective serv
ice schedule not all players
would necessarily bo taken by
fall.

He predicted Lewiston "quite
likely will be the Rainiers
training camp for the duration
and possibly for years to come."
"And wouldn't the laugh be
on the Calif oratnns." added
Sporis Writer Alex Shults, "if
some of 'the California clubs fol
lowed the Rainiers into the Ida

Despite good training condi
tions however, Manager Bill
Skiff still was without a first

Skiff said yesterday he had
opened negotiations with San

said, have two other catchers.

Bern Battle
PHILADELPHIA, April 8 m
Bob Montgomery is ready for his
lightweight title bout in New
York next month with Beau
Jack.
The Philadelphia negro, long
regarded as a leading lightweight
contender, demonstrated his fit
ness with. ,aa impressive four
round knockout over Roman Al
varez, of New York, last night
at the arena.
A jarring left hook thrown at
close quarters set up the knock
out. Alvarez apparently was
stunned. For a second he low
ered his guard. That was ail
Montgomery needed. The bob
cat whipped over a vicious right
that caught Alvarez flush on the
jaw.
Alvarez fell fiat on his back.
Not a muscle stirred as Referee
Matt Adgie tolled off the fatal
count. It was several minutes
before the 21-year-old Denver
native was revived.
