Unbeaten Delaware chung to

lege football ladder today, but
there is a tough hurdle-Buck-

If Delaware can beat Buck
nell, which threw an early sea-

shot at the small college cham
pionShip, which will be awarded
in next weeks final poll.
Delaware whipped Rutgers,

Saturday, and drew five of the
eight first place votes from a
special panel of SportSwriters
and broadcasters.
Two votes went to Northern
Illinois, which has completed
its season with a 80 record.
The other No. / vote went to
Southwest Texas.
Delaware collected 70 points

4 NIL Teams
To Hold Draft
By Telephone

LOS ELEs, Nov. 81
(AP).-The Los Angeles Rams
won't have anybody at the Ma
tional Football League player
draft in Chicago December 2.
But they'll still participate.
President Dan Reeves said
yesterday the Rams will make
their draft selections in their
own offices. by telephone. A
conference line will connect the
clubs headquarters with Chi
cago.
1T makes more sense to do it
this way" Reeves said. We'll
have more privacy and a mini
mum of confusion.
1--WE also have access to more
phones in our office with which
to contact the players we want
to draft when it's our turn"
Moreover. Ram officials
won't have to pack a lot of
player files around, as they did
during previous draft sessions.
The San Francisco 49ers, st.
Louis c ardinals and Dallas
Cowboys also plan to draft by
phone.
The draft goes 20 rounds but
Reeves and Ram Coach Har-
land Svare think the supply of
top pro prospects will be pretty
well exhausted after the first
two rounds.

From a distance the figure
on the chestnut stallion might
have passed for Clark Gable
He wore a 10-gallon hat, neatly
trimmed mustache and jumped
with the reckless aplomb of a
horse opera hero. There was no
doubt that he enjoyed the chal-
lenge of taking his mount over
timber.
Bill Stricken is a country boy
who made a name for himself
in District boxing rings and
steam engineering in the late
1920S and 1930s, and now has
returned to the farm. He took
his private engineering b usi-
ness along with him to a mod
est, 14-acre spread which, in
time, may be a showplace near
Difficult Run in Virginia.
During his ring care er
Stricken fought such colorful
but lon g-forgotten figures as
Walter Kirkwood, Joe Small
wood, Socko T re m ain e, Ken
Overlin, Cowboy Owen Phelps,
Red Barry, Sylvan Bass and
Harry Groves. Overlin later
W a S middleweight champion.
All the rest were tough babies
who thought the Marquis of
Queensberry rules governed ia
bic etiquette. Billy was a mid
dleweight, but he fought all
the way up to the heavyweight
class, no questions asked.
House Is Papered
If you can get him off the
topic of horses long enoug h
he'll talk about his ring expe-
rienceS.
Like the time Billy was
matched against one Ray Lin
ton at Red Bank, Va. Stricken
was in on a percentage of the
house, and Is minutes before
the fight Sergt. Tom Balm
bridge, his manager, discovered
only $28 in the box office.
From all the paper in the
house cambridge suspected the
promoter of selling passes"
but Billy had trained hard for
the bout and didn't want to
aste an opportunity for a
workout.
Before the bout started the
promoter announced that since
all the box-o ffice take had
gone to pay Stickler'S guar
antee," the hat would be passed
to make up a purse for Linton.
Stricken put in a 81 bill.
THE ring was pitched in the
center of a dance floor" Billy
remembered. II pulled on the
ropes to test their strength and
the whole thing fell down. We
had 'em haul it away and the
people made a ring by standing
around U.S."
Billy tried to stretch it out to
get a good workout but Linton
wasn't giving him too much
