New York, Dec. 22-(UP)-If you happen to be over 64 or under iS, have fallen arches, no teeth and myopic eyesight, then drop what- ever you are doing al once and board the very first plane to Chicago.
 If you manage to get there before 8 D. n. this evening, you'll never again be forced to hide from an ii- stallnnt collector, pre-date your checks to the gas company or ask the grocer to call back on Tuesday
 For if you qualify, there's . fine job waiting for you. It's q Job which may pay as much aS 9i0,00o 6 year, one which provides nine months of vacation for every three months Of work, and one which provides free meals and all tho train trips to De- troit. Cleveland and Washington, D. O., that c man can ask,
 All you need to do to clinch 1t once you arrive in Chicago Is ask the nearest policeman to direct you to the hotel where the national pro- fessional football league is holding It's annual draft Of college players. Don't shy away at mention Of that word college, now, for it doesn't mean Q thing. You don't need a degree; just . good, chronic disabil- fly.
 No Lottery Now
 You see, this i04l draft will be unique. h other years, the show was just q big lottery. Coaches and own- CTS held the cards, attendants spun Q wheel and called out numbers and every SO often Steve owen or George Halas yliee "bingo." But no longer, thank you. Another draft--the arfny'sr-has changed the course Of the rafflc.
 The coaches and owners who will sit down tonight to divide the iD4l college player harvest won't grab at q player merely because he was Q unanimous Ali-American, weighs 20 pounds and can oit-run Don. ner and BlitzeTi. A great many more qualifications must Do considered or the lilagnates will find they've bid for boys who can't be delivered. lerred their players fleet, famous and king size, tonight they'll pick and king sig, tonight they'll pick them for their physical uTlfltness, the number Of their children and their advanced years. The reason is obvious; alle aged tackle who can't block but can report for practice is more, valuable now t:iail seven Har- mons who are liable for call to the services.
 The army draft has logged the entire professional game with unceT- taiflty and the owners won't com- plIcate their tasks unnecessarily, Ordinarily, Bruce Smith Of Mime. sota might be the first player gob. bled up by the coaches. Tonight hen probably be just a wall-flower because we all know Smiths draft number Is lower than a woman ath- lete,s heels.
 Offliand, I'd say the first man tab- bed tonight would be Bill Dudley Of Virginia because he is only 10, but this youngster has said flAtly he won't play as q professional. Frankie Albert of Stanford may be taken on c gamble by the Bears or Phiiadel- piIia because he has been scllooled in the q formation. but from there on It's anybody'g guess how the boys vii go.
 Common Bemse
 That ls because players who areI married, who are young, or who-- like Prank @lnkwich of deorgla, for instance already have been rejected for military service. are certain to be ayaiiable for football ionEor than tho Mmiths, tie We1ifalla, ana the TMn aNNY hA i11Ht faIs|ee'
