Money-Mad Pro Grid Hurts Game Bob Watcrfiold's Salary Draws Blast From Red Grange By JERRY LISKA CHICAGO, Dec. 18 (VI1) Har old (Red) Grange, football's golden boy of the twenties, thinks there is room on the pro' fesslonnl gridiron for both the National Footbalk league and the proposed AU-Amerlcim coiv ferance, but not if they engage in a threatened "battle of bucks." Grange, once one of the high' est-putd players in the proles sional game, said in an Inter view today that wlno-ouen bid' ding for talent would result in financial ruin for one or both leagues. Referring to a nurnortod $20 000 annual contract signed last weekend by Bob Waterficld, star o( Cleveland s new Nation al league champions. Grange as serted that "there Just isn't that Kind 01 dough in professional football." "Of course, the players de serve all tne money they can get,"' declared the University of Illinois' former famed Galloping Ghost, "it's the first time pros really have been in a position to dicker. But it may turn out to be simply another case of killing the goose that lays flic golden egg. Grange said the All-America conference which already hus wooed a number of outstanding drafted players and the Brook lyn team irom the National lea gue, faced a big problem in building fan interest. The National Football league has survived 25 years, he em phasized, not because of "name" players many of its stars were from small colleges . but be cause of intense team rivalries. "Newcomers to the pro game seem to forget that footbull is a 10-game season, whereas bose ball has a 154-game schedule," asserted Grange, who several months ago resigned as presi dent of the proposed United States Football league. "A $10, 000 yearly salary in pro foot ball means $1000 a game, but only few get that much. "I understand the All-America has some affluent backers, CHARLIE READ'S SADDLERY 2104 So. 6th Will move to my ranch in the Henley district after Christmas.
