A plan which he claims would
broaden interest In the National
Football League and at the same
time provide a playoff game for
both the East and West each
year was proposed to fellow
coaches and club owners today
by Coach Ray Flaherty of the
Washington Redskins.
Flaherty advocates that the
runners-up In each division be
pitted against each other in a
consolation playoff game in the
city of the team whose division
is not host to the championship
tilt. For example, this year the
Redskins would have met the
Chicago Bears In Washington
today, while the New York
Giants were playing the Green
Bay Packers here.
In addition to widening and
sustaining interest the consola-
ton game would mean extra
bucks in the pockets Of the Sec

While no action on such q plan
was contemplated now, 1t was

MILWAUKEE, Dec. 9.-Profes-
sional football-1940 style-probably
will be more of an aerial circus than
ever before.
This was indicated as directors
and club owners of the National
Football League met today to select
1895 outstanding college players
for their preferred negotiation lists.
Nine of the first ten men selected
are capable passers, several of them
experts in the overhead game, but
Nile Kinnick, IoWa's great passer,
was not among them, probably in
view of his statement he was not
interested in pro football.
The Chicago Cards, by virtue OF
their cellar position in the league,
got first pick and they took Tennes-
sees George Cafego, triple-threat
star.
Kinnick was drafted by Brooklyn
on the second round of selections.
However, the selection of so many
passers and backs early in the meet
ing indicated the pro owners were
getting even more extensively mind
ed than in the last season, when
nearly all scoring and ground-gain-
ing records were shattered.
Only one all-America player was
selected among the first 10 in the
draft list. He was Banks McFad-
den, fleet Clemson halfback, who
was rated one of the greatest passers
and runners of the Southern Con-
ference. Brooklyn got first chance
to negotiate with him for a 1910
contract.
Clyde Turner, Hardin Simmons
center, was the only lineman on the
first 10. He was chosen by the Chi
cago Bears.
The complete draft, in order Of
selection, follows:
