PHILADELPHIA, April 20.-Se-
lection of Eddie (the Brain) Doherty,
Boston College back, by the Wash
ington Redskins at last nights draft
meeting of the National Football
League strengthens the possibility
that the club eventually plans to
shift over to the T formation. Do
herty was one of the ablest T quar-
terbacks in collegiate ranks and was
Washington's third choice.
First collegiate player drawn was,
as expected, Angelo Bertelli, Notre
Danes 1943 passing ace. He was
selected by the Boston Yankees
who, according to Owner Ted Col
Inns, hope to operate this fall. Ber-
tell, however, is in the marines and
presumably will not be available
until after the war. After this one
first choice, the Yankees had to take
18th pick each time around but they
consider they did as well as any of
the teams because comparatively
few players chosen will be available
this fall.
OF the II college stars drawn in
the first round, only two have been
discharged from the service. Creigh-
ton Miller, Notre Danes All-Amer-
lea halfback, who was selected by
Brooklyn has medical discharge
from the Army, and Johnny Podesto
of st. Mary's, drawn by Pittsburgh,
was discharged from the marines
after playing as trainee at the
College of the Pacific last fall.
Washington selected as its first
choice Mike Micka, Colgate fullback
and team captain last fall and fol-
lowed this by taking Earl Audet,
Southern California tackle, who once
played at Georgetown. The Skins
fourth choice was Jackie Fellows,
Fresno State back, while fifth Sc
lected was Harold Fischer, guard,
from Texas U.
Five other players were drawn
by the Redskins, two tackles and
three backs. Tackles are Cliffird
White, Murray State Teachers, and
William Aldsworth, Minnesota, and
the backs are Ted Ogdahl, William
cite; Bob Sheldon, st. Mary's, and
Bill JoSlyn, Stanford.
Replacing Wilbur Moore in the
backfield and Wee Willie Wilkin at
tackle appear now as the biggest
tasks facing the Redskins. Both
are in the service.
