DALLAS, Jan. l8-PJ-The diff
ference between a college football
star and a professional football star,
says Fay Mule Wilson, formerly
a big touchdown man for the Texas
Aggies. Is something like eighteen
months, or, roughly, a year and a
half.
Wilson, an all-SouthweSt confer
ence back not 50 many years ago,
recently returned from the profess
slonal gridiron wars. He has been
through several campaigns with the
New York Giants. and has some
first hand information on the brand
OF football played by the salaried
lads.
Boy, that is football" he said,
pushing back a derby and wrapping
his Spats about a restaurant stool.
The emphasis was on the lis. The
pro game takes up where college
football leaves off. There's no COM
parison.'
All Of which, coming from a fellow
who ranks as one Of the greatest
haltbackS ever produced by the
southwest, carries considerable au-
thOrity.
Il don't care how great they were
in college. It takes them al least
q season and a half To amount tO
anything in the pro racket" WI
son continued. It's just like a high
school star entering college. He has
TO learn a lot Of football before hes
Of any value"
Wilson chose Ken Strong, a I'M
animous all-American choice at New
York university two years ago, as
an example. Strong was in the same
league with the former Aggie ace
