Pro Foolball Loop Junks Bonus Plan f ■ PHILADELPHIA (UP} — The National Football League's bonus! [ plan which gave each team a I free pick of the best college tai-' ent once during the past 12 years? i was a thing of the past today fol-t [ lowihg its abolishment at the' league's annual meeting. The bonus pick was kicked out’ lof the wiridpw Wednesday night in ‘ a drastic move after the owners could not agree on a substitute j [for... the draw-from-the-hat plan! i which Congress intimated was a ! ’lottery at Washington hearings! ! last spring. It had been a happy spread-the-I talent plan, instituted in 1947 on i I the premise that the top teams' | never had a chance at the standout " stars because-' they - selected-; [last in the player draft. The originator was Curly Lambcau, then ! coach of the Green "Bay Packers. I A team was eliminated from fu- ! ture draws once it drew the lucky | number from the hat. The 12[tearn span was completed last [ Sept. 2 at the league's early draft; when the Chicago Cardinals, the only non-winner to that point, chose quarterback King Hill of Rice. Elimination of-the-hat draw was predicted, but it was expected that another plan would be approved, giving the team with the lowest won-lost percentage .for the season the bonus pick. But this plan failed to win own-; er approval One objection was i that two or more, teams conceiv- i ably could, tie for the low spot. . rw-cessitating the toss of a coin to decide the winner. However, the owners- were so leery of the lottery aspects here, the entire bonus was dropped. Fox Drive Planned Saturday Morning • A fox drive, with county-wide participation invited, will be held Saturday morning. Anyone interested is invited to bring his shotgun and meet at Coppess Corners, Jack Hunt, district conservation officer, said. Transportation .from there to the site of the hunt will be furnished. If there are 100 or more taking part, an area of four sections will--be group, driving foxes towards the •center, where they will be killed. Only shotguns may be used. Hurst added, as a safety precaution. There is a bounty of $3 on each fox. In years past, hundreds of foxes have been killed in this manner, providing sport for those who attend, and ridding farmers. .. of a pest which kills chickens.; geese and turkeys.

College Net Schedule Picks Up After Exams By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer Two of the nation’s three top individual scorers and its only remaining major unbeaten team see ' action tonight when the college basketball schedule starts to pick up after mid-year exams. Oscar Robertson will be trying to hold his wafer-thin scoring lead over Wilt Chamberlain when Cincinnati opposes Miami of Ohio while Elgin Baylor, third in the scoring race, tries to keep pace in Seattle’s meeting with Portland. Robertson, the sensational sophomore enters the game with an average of 32 87 points a contest. He has connected for 493 pdints in 15 games. Chamberlain is second in the scoring race with 389 points in 12 games for a 32.42 He could take over first place if Robertson is stopped cold tonight or he could slip back to third if Baylor has a great night. Baylor has scored 393 points in 13 games for a 30.23 average Sharing the spotlight with the three-way scoring duel is St. John’s meeting with the University of Pittsburgh. The New York Redmen, staging a fine comeback to national stature under the leadership of ex-Celtic ace Joe Lapchick, have scored nine -straight victories. The fact is, however, the Redmen are largely untested .against ! top-ranked opposition and the exiperts figure- they will lose two or [three of their next four games—!against Pittsburgh, Temple, I Brooklyn College and West Virginia.
