New Pro Grid League Drafts Players Monday MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (UPI) — The American Football League opened up a possible pro football war today with 33 college players drafted by each team open for negotiations before the rival National Football League has assigned draft rights. The American League concluded its first draft meeting early today. Club owners indicated they would begin immediately to try to sign the players they have drafted who have completed their collegiate career. The National League will hold its draft meeting next Monday and cannot sign any players until then. Though the American League will have an edge in approaching the players, none of the owners anticipated a bidding war with the National League except for the two or three “blue |chip” athletes on each team’s negotiating list. The owners expected their player payroll to be between $350,000 and $400,000 approximately the same as the National League teams. Lamar Hunt, owner of the Dallas franchise and temporary chairman of the league, said the group had contracted two possible commissioners, both of them not now connected with the league. Hunt said also that the American League would follow the rules now used by the National Football League. However, at least two of the members of the league favor installation of the college two point conversion rule which permits a team to score two points after a touchdown by passing or running the ball from the three yard line. The league’s eight teams —New York. Los Angeles, MinneapolisSt Paul, Denver, Houston, Boston, Buffalo and DaUas — each drafted 33 players. ~—• The No. 1 picks of each team were Boston, Gerhard Schwedes of Syracuse; Buffalo, Richie Lucas of Penn States; DaUas, Don Meredith of Southern Methodist; Denver, Roger Leclerc of Trinity; Houston, Billy Cannon of LSU; Los Angeles, Monte Stickles of Notre Dame; Minneapolis-St. Paul, Dale Hackbart of Wisconsin; New York, George Izo of Notre Dame.

Mertes, head football coach at Kansas State for the past five years, submitted his resignation to a special session of the school's athletic council. His plans for the future? “Any time a person leaves a job like I did, be has no plans for the future,” Mertes said. “I have been a player or coach for 25 years and hope to continue in atheltics. However, I flet it was time to resign here. . .seeing as my teams won only one third of their conference games since I came here.” Mertes, a soft-spoken Individual who saw his team compile a dismal 2-8 won-lost record this year, said it was “my worst year ever.” During his five years at the helm of Kansas State football forces, Mertes' teams compiled an overall record of 15 wins, 34 losses and one tie.
