NEW YORK. Jan. 20.-Unless
all signs fail. Elston Howard, 26-
year-old son Of a Negro high
school principal in Missouri, ap-
parently is destined to be the
first of his race to play for the
Yankees.
It is conceivable, but not likely,
that Howard will fail in spring
training to meet the Yankee re-
quirements in technique and
ability. In other points Of eligi-
bility, he is 100 per cent. He is
a quiet, well-behaved young man
with admirable traits.
Howard seems to be what the
New York club wanted for its
first Negro player. With the
pennant-winning Toronto club
last year. Elston won the Inter-
natiOnal Leagues most valuable
player award.
Howard missed the league bat
ting title by two points with his

The Redskins genial general
manager included another valu-
able page in his work, listing the
1854 college stars already
drafted. The Browns were the
busiest team dealing in futurities
last year, picking four men, three
tackles and a back. The tackles
were Dick Hilinski, Ohio State,
Tom Jones, Miami Of Ohio, and
Jim Smith of Baylor, and the
back was Bob Mcnamara of
Minnesota. That's q pretty good
start on 1855 for any club.
Coach Buck Shaw took four
men for the San Francisco
Forty-Niners. But Buck won't
be around to handle this quartet
Prank Mincevich, South Caro-
Lima guard; Harold Easterwood,
Mississippi State center, Sam
Palumbo, Notre Dame tackle, and
Charley Boxold, Maryland quar-
terback, who was the No. 4
choice.
II It's an argument about who
made what all-American, all

McCann's booklet is invaluable.
He's listed every all-star team

OF a stir. But it's going to be

Their refusal to listen to
proposals for Howard almost

drafts. A mighty handy thing
to have around when the coaches
begin picking their 1855 draftees.
McCann has included the Red
skins complete draft list for the
last two years. plus the first five
men drawn by the Washington
club each year since 1888. There
are some pretty good names on
the list and some whose college
brilliancy faded when they hit
the tough pro circuit.
There are familiar names like
Andy Farkas, No. / choice in
1888. and Dick Todd. No. 8 a
year later. There are others you
probably won't remember-some
because they didn't even sign.
One Of these was Forrest Eva
shevski, the Michigan quarter
back who was picked first after
the 1910 season. He preferred a
coaching career and now is head
man at Iowa.
Cal Rossi of UCLA was an
other who didn't sign. He was
the Redskins top choice two
years in row, the second time
because a question was raised
concerning his draft eligibility
the previous year. He didn't
want to play pro ball. And there
was Larry Isbell. the Baylor
quarterback who preferred base
ball.
But any tendency to criticize
the Redskins selections is stified
by another page listing all IL
teams first-round picks through
the last five years. A lot of
coaches guessed wrong. Some
boys went to Canada, some did
not make the team and were
traded of. while others elected
to play baseball instead. Not all
the No. boys were fool-proof,
as the pro coaches discovered to
their dismay.
In fact, not all the bonus
choices lived up to their high
rating. Bob Fenimore. Okla
homa A. and M. back chosen by
the Chicago Bears In 1947, the
first year the bonus was tried,
played one year without dis
tinction. Harry Babcock, the
San Francisco Forty Miners
selection in '53, didn't quite
measure up to Coach Buck
Shaw's expectations. and Bob
Garrett, picked by Paul Brown
Of Cleveland last year. was
traded on to the Green Bay,
Packers last season for Babe
Parilli, who was Army-bound
The Browns discovered, 1t is re-
ported. that Garrett suffered
at times. frequently in the hud-
die. Sam Morley, CARROTS

him, but Sam was signed by the

It Is not surprising that Notre
Dame leads in first-round choices
(including the bonus selection) |
but the Irish have produced only
five of these since 1850. Three
of these-Johnny Lattner, Neil
Worden and Art Hunter-were
picked at the 1854 draft.
The league is loaded with |
Notre Damers, of course, but in |
the last five drafts the school
has turned out only one more

ma, which is second with four.
