SKI OUTLOOK

Heavy SHOWS have swept into
the New England area and
brought good skiing for the
New Years week end to areas
which were still green a week
ago.
In the ashington area,
however, the situation is more
bleak, as last weeks warm spell
did serious damage to most
areas in the Alleghenies. Snow
and colder weather is forecast
for the Appalachians, so with
luck, the situation will improve
at Laurel Mountain, Sever
Springs, Deep Creek and Cabin
Mountain.
The Cabin Mountain drifts
are still intact. and offer a
good base to any new SHOWS
which may fall in the next
few days. Elsewhere, machine
made base has been deposited
to supplement the somewhat
sparse natural fall.
The Ski Club automatic
answering service, King 1922
will give the latest information
on area skiing. Ski Tours
(Sterling 3-177D will have the
latest area and New England
conditions through Saturday.

Meredith, the Redskins boss
quite honestly says a boy going
into the pro game should take
the best offer, be it from the
National League, AFL or the
c a n a dians. However, he'd
make sure that at least part Of
the money was in the bank.
Some skeptics doubt that
the new league will get of the
ground, or that it will finish
out the season if it does. There
are too many problems, such
as obtaining playing sites, lining
up coaching STATS, arranging
travel schedules, etc., to be
solved before it will have
smooth sailing. And there's the
old bugaboo of getting a pro
club established in territory
considered the college games
exclusive domain.
Meredith was only one of a
flock of promising young COL
legians claimed by the Ameri-
can League yesterday. Some,
such as Louisiana States Billy
Cannon, Lucas, Notre Danes
George Izo and Vanderbilt's
Tom Moore were high on the
Redskins list. Naturally, they
were Just as high on lists of
teams who spend small for
tunes collecting data on pro-
spects.

Mike missed on one major
transaction, however, when
Linebacker Larry Morris of the
Los Angeles Rams refused to
report to the Redskins after
agreeing to terms. Nixon gave
up the rights to Defensive End
Gene Brito, who had retired, in
return for Morris.
However that deal may still
work out well for Washington,
for Morris later was traded to
the Chicago Bears for a No. 2
draft choice. Brito broke his
ankle several weeks ago and,
although he hopes to play one
more year, his career is believed
to be finished.

Wildcats Take
; Positions on
AII-Big Ten

CHICAGO, Nov. "a (AP)-
Northwestern. despite its sea-
son-ending fadeout, captured
three berths to dominate the
1859 All-Big Ten football team
named today by the Associated
Press.
Wisconsin'S champion Badg-
erS, Illinois and Iowa each
placed two players, while one
berth each went to Michigan
State and Ohio State.
Unanimous choices in the vot-
ing by IL Associated Press
sports writer's on the Big Ten
front were two linemen -
Guard Bill Burrell Of Illinois
and Tackle Dan Lanphear of
Wisconsin.
Missing a sweep Of flrSt-team
votes by only one ballot was
Center Jim Andreotti of North
western. Two players were two
votes shy Of a sweep, Guard
Jerry Stalcup of Wisconsin and
Halfback Ron Burton of North
western.
The third Northwestern play
er picked was Fullback Mike
Stock.
In the all-star backfield with
the Wildcat pair of Burton and
Stock were Quarterback Dean
Look of Michigan State and
Halfback Bob Jeter of Iowa,
the Big Tens top rusher.
The line, averaging 212
pounds, was rounded out with
Ends Don Norton of Iowa and
Jim Houston of Ohio State and
Tackle Joe Rutgers of Illinois,
who barely shaded Northwest
ern's Gene Gossage.
Houston, 216-pound Buckeye
senior; the ever-dangerous
Burton; and Stalcup, the Bad
ger play-buster, were repeaters
from the 1858 All-Big Ten
team.
Bob White. whose play slip
ped along with Ohio States
decline, fell from top fullback
ranking last year to the third
honor team this year. Another
1858 star, Ron Mallory of Pur-
due, dropped from first to Sec
ond team. Two of last years
all-conference stars, End Rich
Kreitling Of Illinois and Half
back Willie Fleming of Iowa,
dropped out of school.

The college graduate most
likely to succeed. as they put
1t in the year books, well may
be a tall, happy-go-lucky
Southern Methodist quarter
back by the name of Don
Meredith, who was drafted yes
terday by Dallas of the new
American Football League.
From all reports, this is only
the beginning Of a series of bids
the talented young man will
receive for his services next fall.
I'D almost bet he'll start
out as the highest paid rookie
in pro football" one man said,
sizing up the situation. Hell
go high in the National League
draft next Monday and the
Canadians are a cinch to be
around with a handful of
money. He's good and with ev-
erybody after him, I wouldn't
be surprised if he got $4,000
to start"
The 6-foot-3, 195-p ound
Meredith must have unusual
talent, although there are some
observers who don't rate Texan
football players on par with
others, such as Big Ten Con-
ference alumni. Some Texans
flnd pro football a little more
rugged than the Southwest
Conference brand, although
there have been many good ones
from the COW country.
t +
/. In Texas, Meredith wears a
''can't miss" label, concerning
his pro future. Some fans think
he's better than Sammy Baugh
Rt this stage of his career, al
though they don't go around
uttering this heresy publicly.
Sam, of course, came into pro
football as an all-around back,
, good runner, punter and ex-
cellent defensive man. He didn't
emphasize passing until the
Redskins abandoned their sin
glowing offense for the T-for-
nation in 1943. BY then he was
a six-year veteran and was be-
ginning to talk of retirement.
Meredith can run, too, but his
strong suit is passing and scouts
who've watched him say he
can thread a needle at so yards.
II saw him once" said Bill
McPeak, the Redskins backfield
coach, "and I liked what I saw.
I think he'll make a good pro
quarterback"
McPeak, by the way, thinks
Penn States Richie Lucas, an
able strategist, will be a better
defensive back in pro football.
Il could be wrong, of course"
Bill added, "but he's got good
speed and size for defense, and
he has good reactions. Good
defensive backs are just as i'm
portant as quarterbacks in this
game"
Meredith's high rating ap-
