His critics were legion. Out of respect
for the memory Of the assassinated PreSi-
dent he had been urged to postpone all
games. AS dusk fell in New York he sat at
a preSs-room table with reporters and
admitted that more than one NIL owner
had presumed him to postpone.
Others felt, Of course, that RozelIe had
been right to give the green light, although
they never would have forgiven him if he
had mouthed the insinuating platitude, "fIe.

In all fairness to Rozelle, NIL owners
aren't running him. He proved it Sunday.
The mayor of Philadelphia called him and
requested the EagleS-R Redskins game be
postponed. So did the respective brass of
the teams. So did Art Model Of the Browns.

an apologize statement as his customers

to ticket-holders who felt that playing was
in poor taste.
You're on spot" man told Rozelle
before the action. Pete nodded soberly.
HE WAS STILL on spot after the day
went off, all games played but all pageantry
eliminated. Snide people accused him, be-

across the street in the Polo Grounds a
game between the New York Jets and
Kansas City Chiefs had been called. All

We're the only business in sports that was

One Of the teams was Oklahoma,
coached by Bud Wilkinson. The coach was
supposed to have been close to the late
President. Bud was his special consultant

If we had to guess, it would be that

NEW YORK, Nov. 26 (AP).-
The Chicago Bears will have
four extra choices and the
Green Bay Packers three extra
picks in the annual National

more than their share Of selec-
lions in the 20 rounds and six
others will have less than 20
picks.
The NIL announced that all
clubs have retained their first
round choices.
The order of selection is to
be determined by the combined
conference standings after all
games of Sunday, December l..
The teams will draft In the
inverse order Of their standing.
If there is a tie, the flip Of a
coin will decide which team
drafts first. The loser will
draft ahead in the next round.

Only players who enrolled
in a recognized college or uni
versity in 1860 are eligible to
be drafted. II they have fol-

While Army prefers to con-

admirably, because the Middies
have lost only one Of their nine

A 6-foot, 1s5-pounder from

have much chance to show his
offensive potential as a sopho-

mainly with the now-forgotten
Chinese Bandits, but occasion

a halfback with the regular

ciety. but Army has a quarter
back, too.
And unless officials Of the
Army. Navy and Defense De-
partments decide to cancel the
annual service football game,
the Cadets viii get a chance to
prove it before an assembled
throng Of 100000 and q ma
tional television audience in
Philadelphia Saturday.
His name is Rollie Stichweh,
and although he doesn't have
the magnetism of Staubach he
is being compared by people at
West Point to such other fine
Army quarterbacks Of the last
two decades as Arnold Tucker
and Arnold Galiffa.
Reclaimed from the defen-
sive unit Of the 1862 Army
squad during the days Of three
platoon football, Stichweh is
not cut from the Staubach
mold. but he has been effective.
Under his field leadership the
Cadets have won seven of nine
games. losing only to Minneso-
Ia and Pittsburgh.
Two Years Younger
For one thing, Stichweh. at
10, Is two years younger than
Staubach, although both are
juniors. And for another,
Stichweh's style is more disci-
plined than the free-lancing
Staubach's.
While Rogers most exciting
runs have developed from
broken pass plays, Stichweh's
best were designed that way.
His most effective weapon is
the run-pass option from either

The Interhigh League foot

tween Eastern and Roosevelt

urday at Cardozo High School.
the league announced today.
The game originally was
scheduled for last Saturday
morning but was postponed be-
cause Of the death Of Presi-
dent Kennedy. All 1000 tickets
were sold by last week and will
be honored Saturday.
This is the third straight year
these two teams have met for
the title. Eastern, the East
Division champion, whipped
Roosevelt, 27-0, in 1861 and
took q 20-7 victory last year.
However, last seasons decision
was reversed because the RAM
blers used an ineligible player
and Roosevelt was awarded its
first championship in 10 years.
Unbeaten In League
Roosevelt, which has won
the West Division for the last
three years, completed a 60
record in league competition
but dropped outside games to
two Catholic League powers
DeMatha and st. Johns.
Defense has been the Riders
strongest point this season
with two all-league choices,
Guard Cordell Gill and Tackle
Richard Queen, leading the
way. However, Coach joey
kaufman Is equally proud OF
his offense.
The main concern at Roose-
welt is the long layoff. The
Riders last game was q l2-O
victory over Coolidge on No
vember 8. BY the time Satur-
day rolls around, it will be q
days between games.
