IN PRO LEAGUE
Some Flop" Others
"Click" As Paid
FOOtballers
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY

United Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Oct. 19.-(UP)-The
All-Americans still have their work
cut out for them breaking into the
National Football league, fastest of
the professional circuits.
Indeed, some of those highly pub
licized stars off the college campus
don't stick around any longer than
to get a cup of coffee. Potsy Clark,
coach Of the Brooklyn Dodgers, ex-
presses the attitude OF the league
when he says:
"An All-American man doesn't
mean a thing to us. We judge
them on what they show us, not
their college records. And there's
no man who can play good foot
ball in this league unless he gets
his nose right down in the dirt"
Ralph Heikkinen, Michigan star
last season who was almost a
unanimous choice as All-America
guard, was perhaps the biggest dis
appointment among the highly
ballyhoode players who came up
this season. He reported to the
Brooklyn squad Sept. 10 but was
released few weeks later.
"Heikkinen weighed only 1873 lbs.
and was pretty light for our league"
said Clark. "He reported late and
didn't give himself a fair chance
to show me what he could do. I
Just didn't think he was in the right
physical and mental shape"
OF the big name college players
of last season the No. hit is
Bill Osmanski, Holy Cross fullback
who has clicked with the Chicago
Bears in spectacular fashion. He
is the second leading ground gamer
in the league with 1872 yards in SO
attempts for an average Of g. yards
each try.
Parker Hall, the 2O5-pound half
back from Mississippi. Is another
All-American who has lived up to
advance notices. He is leading the
league in passing, having completed
AZ out of "a passes for GA yards
On running plays Hall has gained
1876 yards in AZ attempts.

and Sid Luckman Of Columbia
Both are having trouble gettlng
started in their specially IN the pro
league. Luckman, used only SPAR
ingly in the passer's position 10 the
Bears offensive setup, has COM
pleted three out OF six passes ior
48 Yards. O,Brien, playing with
the Philadelphia Eagles, has COM
pleted 10 out of 80 passes for l02
wards. He has gained net OF %
wards in the 80 times he's carried
the ball.
Marshall Goldberg, Pittsburgh's
great runner, is making his biggest
impression in the pro ranks as 2
blocker. In the II times he's car
ried the ball he's gained only 90
yards and has caught four passes
for ga yards.
Among the unheralded players
who'ye made the biggest impreS.
sion are Eddie Miller, New York

Darrell Tully, Detroit quarterpacK.
from East Texas State Teachers
college; Tom Greenfield, Green Bay

from the U. of Washington.
The case Of little Eddie Miller,
who's making good with the Giants
is one of the rarest in pro foot
bali. Weighing only 165, Miller Is
proving one of the sensations OF
the league on a club which seldom
uses freshmen players. Steve Owen,

trade Miller for O'Brien even up:
Miller has gained SIS yards IN ~
