Draft Hooks
Cadet Stars
NKW YORK, Dec. 17 (!) The
National Football league, moguls
went into their final December
huddles today with tho case of
New York Giant Fullback Merle
Hapes Involving tho attempt to
fix nunday a championship game
atlll open, the player draft fin
lulled and proposed rule changes
up for debate.
Although no action has been
taken yet In the attempted brib
ery nf Hupea and nothing final
will be done pending disposal of
the case against the Indicted Al
vln Purls, self-styled "big bettor"
National League Commissioner
Bert Bell made it plain that the
axe will full on anyone who
hears of such a aituutlon and
doesn't report It Immediately.
Sporting a new five-year con
tract at a $30,000,000 annual sal
ary , the stocky Phlladclphian
declared that withholding of
"guilty knowledge" of gambling
or uttempted "fixing" of games is
punishuble by lifetime banish
ment. Didn't Report Offer
He pointed out he was not
specifically referring to Hapes,
who is alleged to have been
"propositioned" by Paris last
week and not to have reported
the attempt to Giant Coach Steve
Owen or any other club official.
Bob Kenimore. two-time all
America Oklahoma AGM back,
was first choice in the lengthy
druft sessions. He was selected
by the league champion Chicago
Bears. Glenn Davis, Army's
great "Mr. Outside," was No. 1
pick of the Detroit Lions.
But the magnates paid close
attention to news from the local
grand Jury, which indicted Paris
on two counts of attempted brib
ery, utter hearing from Hapes
and the Giants' halfback ace,
Frank Filchock, and to reports
from municipal court, where
Paris' bail was raised from $25,
000 to $28,500.
And it was obvious that the
moguls, deeply affected by this
first cloud in the 27-year National
leaguo history, were going all out
to tighten up regulations.
UcIiqs Popular
Most popular on the druft list
were the undefeated Bruins of
UCLA although only about one
third of the 300 drafted players
were announced, it was learned
nine members of the Uclan outfit
were selected, headed by South
paw Passer Cut Rossi, first
choice of the Washington Red
skins. The owners picked five of
the unbeaten, untied Bulldogs of
Georgia, the Identities of none of
whom were revealed.
Detroit Owner Fred Mandcl
explained he will not contact
Davis, the three-time all-Amcrt-
can from California, about a con
tract. Inasmuch as Davis will be
an army officer after his gradua
tion in June. If he should "get
out of. the army, say in two or
three years, I would have first
crack at him," Mandel added.
Fullback Doc Blanchard, who
made up with Davis, Army's
much-feored "monster and his
playmate" combination, was se
lected a year ago by the Pitts
burgh Stcelcrs. Branchard had
a year at North Carolina before
going to West Point.

MIAMI, Fla.. Dec. 17 (P)
Along the golfing trail, they're
saying that Ellsworth Vines, the
reformed tennis player, will be
the golfer to beat In 1947.
The Hogans, Nelsons and
Snead continued to dominate
the professional picture during
1948, but with another year
coming up, other names which
may draw the attention along
the tourney circuit were enter
ing the picture.
But Vines has the experience
over the others, and he also has
what fellow pro term "terrific
competitive spirit."
Vines, 33-year-old, of Los An
geles, Calif., ha one of the most
improved games in the business,
says Freddie Corcoran, PGA
tourney manager, who ace all
the big time golf.
After Vines had fired a six
under par 29 to break the record
on the outgoing nine of the
Miami Springs golf course dur
ing the recent Miami Open,
there was much talk of his game.
"He is a good putter and long
off the tee when he want to
be," they said "but he' got more:
he' got the stuff to stick in
there and win.
"He's the fellow who's going
to win two national titles in as
many sports."
Vines was U. S. tennis singles
and Wimbledon singles cham
pion. His golf victories this year in
cluded the Massachusetts and
Pikes Peak Open. He was only
a stroke behind Herman Barron
in the rich Tam O'Shanter, and
tied for third place with E. J.
(Dutch) Harrison In the Miami
Open. He copped tho Southern
California Open last year.
