Pro Football League Teams Pick Players By RUSS GREEN UQNITED Press Sports WQR I PHILADELPHIA (UP)— The 12 clubs of the National Football League set out today to srgn the top collegiate stars — and the usual number of dark horses — they 'selected in -the early draft. As expected, most of the AllAmerica prospects were snapped up by the clubs in the four rounds of selections held early again in an effort to beat the Canadian teams to contract talks. But, as usual, a number of unheralded players were chosen in preference to the touted Titaijs. The unknowns among the most sought after players were chiefly linemen uncovered by the team scouts. They included Don Owens, Mississippi Southern tackle, the No. 3 choice of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Luke Owens, Kent State tackle plucked by the Baltimore Colts. . The Washington Redskins selected Jim Podohley, Central Michigan halfback, in the fourth round and. the Detroit Lions grabbed Steve Junker, Xavier end, as their fourth Selection. Hornung Standout Pick Notre Dame’s Paul Hornung, the halfback who did everything well despite playing on a sputtering team, was the pick of the crop. He was selected first by the Green Bay Packers, who won the annual draw and had the right to choose any graduating college player in the nation. Packer Coach Lisle Blackbourn, who pulled the lucky slip from a hat in a draw with the Chicago Cardinals, explained that Hornung would fit right into the Green Bay pattern. “He has natural ability, is a tremendous competitor, has speed, can stand punishment, is a punter. and kickoff man, kicks field goals ; and extra points, plays defense,' can play halfback or fullback, and within a year could be the greatest passer in the league,” Blackbourn said. Numerically, Los Angeles was the chief beneficiary of the draw, grabbing seven of the 49 players selected in the four rounds as a result of trades made previously with the Giants and the FortyNiners. Giants Get Least Number The Giants got the least num- — ber put of the early draft, coming up with only two players, tackle Sam Deluca of South Carolina and Dermis Mendyk, Michigan State halfback. Jon Arnett of Southern California was selected by Los Angeles immediately after Hornung was

San Fraricisco then took John Brodie, Stanford quarterhack; Green Bay took Michigan end Ron Kramer; Pittsburgh took Len Dawson, Purdue quarterback; Cleveland went for Jim Brown, Syracuse fullback, and Philadelphia selected Clarence Peaks, the injured Michigan State halfback.
