Loss Of Freeman Moy Put
Graham Back in Harness

CLEVELAND. Aug. l6 B.--
The Cleveland Browns had only
one quarterback today--a situa-
ton every one admits can't pre-
vail for long.
The one is George Ratterfnan,
for the past three years the sell
dom-used understudy for Otto
Graham. who last winter an
nounced his retirement.
The question now is how long
that retirement will last.
Bobby Freeman. the Auburn
rookie who was to have been No.
Q quarterback, was taken out by
q legal block yesterday.
Federal Judge Paul Jones. who
once played football for Michi-
gan. ruled Freeman and his Au-
burn teammate, Jack Locklear.
0 linebacker, may not practice
or play with the Browns this sea-
son. Locklear had announced
earlier he was quitting pro foot
ball on Doctors orders because
of q heart murmur.
Judge Jones granted q tenn
porary injunction to the Winni-
peg Blue Bombers Of the Cana
dian League. Winnipeg had
signed Freeman and Locklear to
contracts q month before the
Auburn Stars signed last Febru-
airy 8 with the Browns. In his
five-page opinion. Judge Jones
simply held the earlier Canadian
League contract was q valid obli-
CATION for Freeman and Lock-
lear.
Freeman said he intends to
remain here and attend Western
Reserve University. He expects
a call for Army service, during
which his contract with Winnie
peg viii run, out. Afterward, he
said. he viii come back to the
Browns.
Graham, who has nine sea-
sons pass-mastering the Browns
and who will be "a on Decem-
Der 8. was unenthusiastic about
q return.
But when he went into re-
tirement. Graham said he owed
the Browns d lot and would
answer q call II they needed him.
He said yesterday:
IF the Browns still have only
one quarterback when the sea-
son rolls around. ! certainly
would give serious consideration
TO q request to. Join the team"
Otto said he had not yet been
asked by Coach Paul Brown and
that he would not return volun-
tarily.
