WIN, LOSE OR DRAW
Ernie Davis, Who Can Pick and Choose
By FRANCIS STANN

CLAIMING A FOOTBALL PLAYER in
the college draft isn't quite the same as
having him suited up. The Redskins should
know; they've lost few of their top draft
choices in the past. Now they've fingered
young man, Ernie Davis, who can pick
and choose as few in pro football history.
The big, hard-driving Syracuse half
back not only was claimed by Washington
in the National League but also by both the
Buffalo Bills and New York Titans in the
American. In addition, Ernie is supposed
to be weighing eight offers to play in
Canada.
AS favorable as anything to him, per-
haps, is that Davis is the first Negro ever
drafted by the Redskins, who ostensibly
were feeling the pressure put on them by
Secretary of the Interior Udall If this is
the case, Ernie can name a high price to
play for the Redskins or virtually demand
to be traded.
Our Syracuse operative thinks that
Davis being a bright young man and a
ball carrier the likes of which the Red
skins haven't seen in couple of decades,
won't be easy to sign. Nor has Harry
Wismer of the Titans made it any easier
to bring Davis to terms.
IN HIS OWN QUIET, shy manner,
Wismer refuses to believe that Buffalo in
his own AFL should have title to Davis.
In a secret, premature draft, Wismer
claimed Ernie and tilted with Joe Foss, the
commissioner, when Foss ordered this un-
official draft stricken from the records.
Buffalo, Wismer claimed, shouldn't have
picked Davis in Foss' later official" draft.
Then he proceeded to name fantastic
salary that he would be willing to pay to
lure Ernie away from the Bills.
Harry and his associates dropped a
bundle in go, the AFL's first year. The
Ttans are losing money again this year.
1t behooves Harry to spring if he's to COM
pete with the old and established New York
Giants, who unfortunately for Wismer have
come up with winner and an interesting
club.
Ernie is in a very good position" un
derstated our Syracuse source, who works
in the publicity department at the school.
Il don't recall that any other college senior
had quite so much offered to him."
It's hard to remember when, If ever,
the Redskins had claim-even a tenuous
one-on a ball carrier who runs quite like
Davis. Maybe you'd have to go all the way
back to Cliff Battles in 81.
ERNIE'S RECORD AT SYRACUSE
bordered on the fabulous for grinding out
yardage. In SO, when the Orange was
ranked No. in the Nation, he gained 686
Evening star., 1961-12-05

yards in SO carries. Hes not bad" some
critics said, "but next year that real good
line will be graduated. Let's see how Davis
runs then"
The next season nine of Syracuse's top
linemen, including two All-Americas grad
uated. Instead of going unbeaten as in SO,
Syracuse finished To. But Davis gained
877 yards, averaging 7.8 yards per carry.
Last season he was in the same form, or
better. They don't pass out the Heisman
Trophy to any player who isn't the best,
or close to it.
This is big kid, 6-foot-2 and weighing
2l0 pounds. He can run up the middle or
turn corner. After his junior year flock
of coaches went on record as saying he
already was good enough for the pros.
Trying to stop Davis is like trying to stop
a runaway express" Holy Cross Eddie An
derson said
But the boy from Elmira, NJ Y, isn't
used to playing for losers, and there are no
more distinguished losers in football today
than the Redskins AS potentially the first
Negro to star in Washington-and while
performing in the new D. C.. Stadium, at
that-Davis stands to command more at
tention than anybody since Sammy Baugh
He's got built-in, automatic following
His fondest rooters will feel that here is
the boy who conquered Owner George
Marshall. But will fighting what he might
believe is hopeless cause be deterrent?
ERNIE, WHEN HE PLAYED at Elmira
Free Academy, won II varsity letters in
football, basketball and baseball. He was
a schoolboy All-America, twice in football
and once on the court. His Academy never
lost game, according to legend in either
sport while Davis was there.
At Syracuse he followed in the footsteps
of his idol, Jim Brown, now of the Cleve-
land Browns. Inevitably he has been COM
pared with Brown although the older player
is a fullback and Ernie, so far, halfback.
But top coaches say that Ernie can make it
in pro ball as an offensive end, defensive
back, flanker or runner.
The dispatches from Chicago first
limited that the Redskins spoke at length of
trading him, or the rights to him, if they
could get a two-for-one deal that would
take some of the heat off the racial ques-
ton. A later bit Of speculative communica-
tion suggested that Ernie would be dealt to
the Browns.
Absolutely not!" Coach Paul Brown of
the Browns snapped. We've got no deal
with Washington in mind, and I'm an
Ernie Davis admirer"
1t is well known that one whom Paul
Brown never has admired extensively is
Owner Marshall.

University of Arizona, End Bob
Mitinger of Penn State, Tackle
Billy Neighbors of Alabama and
Halfback Bert Coan of Kansas.
Hernandez, a 6-foot-2, 180-
FOUNDER who was drafted by
Oakland of the AFL, is a 81
sprinter and is considered a
great pass receiver. Mitinger, a
6-3, 215-pounder, could be used
as a closed end on offense or
linebacker.
"Our reports put him in the
same class with Mike Ditka of
Chicago" McPeak said, refer
ring to the Bears prize rookie.
Mitinger was drafted by San
Diego, Neighbors by Boston and
Coan by Oakland in the AFL.
Coan, a b-4, ZO5-pOunder
picked on the seventh round,
broke a leg in spring practice
and did not play this year. A
transfer from Texas Christian,
he is regarded by some scouts
as one of the greatest running
back prospects headed for pro
ranks in recent years.
The Redskins gave their
fifth choice to the Bears as
part of the deal for John Aveni,
and their sixth to San Fran
cisco for Rod Breedlove.

Irving B. Kahn. president of

could line up is million seats
at an average $5 a head for
such a hot attraction as a Pat
terson-Liston fight. The gate
at a place like New York's
Yankee Stadium could produce
a S2.5 million gross at a $l00
top, experts figured.
Thriller From Start
The Patterson McNeeley
scrap was a thriller from the
very start. There were so many
knockdowns and slips" that
arguments also ragged as to
whether the former Michigan
State football tackle was down
eight, nine or ten times, and
whether Patterson actually was
dropped or slipped in the fourth
round.
The Associated Press count
had McNeeley down eight times
where he was given the manda-
tory eight-counts, and twice on
slips which might have been
knockdowns.
Referee Jersey Joe Walcott,
the former heavyweight cham
pion from Camden, N. j., ruled
there were two slips by Nc
Neeley and that Patterson went
down on a slip in the fourth
round. Patterson's hand
touched the deck after what
Evening star., 1961-12-05

looked to be a right to the
head.
McNeeley, a strong, 6-foot-2,
197-pounder, was knocked down
once in the first round, four
times in the wild third, and
three times in the 2::5l fourth
round. Walcott ruled he also
slipped once in the first round
and once in the third.
Patterson admitted he was
hurt a couple of times in the
third and fourth rounds.
Il knew when I was hit in
the fourth round" said the
champion, trim at 1882 pounds,
but 1 was never seriously in
trouble. When I went down I
knew exactly what was going
on. I don't call that knock
down. A knockdown is when
the fighter goes down and
doesn't know where he is"
Although he had the brawny
but inexperienced McNeeley 60
ing up and down like a rubber
ball, Patterson still didn't look
like a 10-1 favorite. Crude as
he was, the crewcut blond from
Arlington, Mass, gave the slick
champion plenty of trouble and
gave his handlers many an
anxious moment.
After being knocked down
twice in the third round, Nc
Neeley, blood trickling from a
cut under his right eye, sud-
denly stormed after Patterson
like a wild man. He belted the
surprised champion with a right
to the jaw that hurt and
brought roafs from the crowd.
