For a guy who was supposed
to be washed up a month ago,
George Blanda is mighty active
in professional football.
The 33-year-old quarterback,

down passes in guiding Houston
to its fifth straight victory in
the American Football League.
The Oilers, with Blandea

Luckman of the Chicago Bears
and Adrian Burke of the Phila-
delphia Eagles.
Luckman set his mark against
the Giants in l943 and Burke
against the Redskins in 1854.
The way the Oilers are NOV

Last year the AFL held part

FOSS CHECKING NUMEROUS REPORTS
AFL's Secret Draft
Violates Agreement

DALLAS, Tex. Nov. 20 (AP)
indications we're strong today
that the American Football
League has pulled a stunt SINH
lar to its 1860 move-jumped
the gun on the draft. This
would violate an agreement
with the American Football
Coaches Association.
There could be a lot of pro-
test, especially from the NCAA,
but obviously nothing can be
done about it except talk.
Everybody apparently knew
about it except Commissioner
Joe FoSs and his AFL office
here-and Foss now has been
apprised and has said he'll
check into it.
FOSs Is Dark
Three reporters reported that
a secret draft had been held
and such stars as Ernie Davis of
Syracuse, Bob Ferguson of Ohio
State, Lance Alworth of Ar
kansas, Roman Gabriel of
North Carolina State and Jim
Saxton of Texas were among
the selectees.
Some anonymous club Off
cials were quoted that the draft
had been held and one of them,
with San Diego, told Jerry Ma
gee of the San Diego Union that
"the commissioner knew moth
ing about this. 1t was run by
the owners"
The club owners are supposed
to have held six rounds of the
draft by telephone several weeks
before Commissioner Foss set
the official date of the draft
for December 2-the day OF

his new trade when he gave the

The Redskins were leading at
