He added: "But, Houston has the first two picks in our draft and can know they will get their choices." He also said that, when the Dallas club (before it was transferred to Kansas City) had campus heroes. The well-heeled Chiefs and New York Jets play owners await the dollar war with cash in hand.

MORE COMPETITION Hunt also expected more competition between the two leagues this year in regard to signing their choices and said all that additional TV money would make the owners more "generous" at signing time. No details were gone into regarding the Chiefs' chances in the current AFL draft, which opens today in New York, for just which players they had In mind.

However, the Steelers already had traded their choice to the Bears.

OPEN 11:45 353-M4I ATHENS, Ga. (AP) The Georgia Bulldogs will try to write a storybook ending to one of the most amazing comebacks in Southeastern Conference football history when they meet Georgia Tech Saturday. If, at the start of the season, anyone had said the Bulldogs were going to go to a bowl game, that person would have immediately become a candidate for an asylum. But the Bulldogs pulled off a long string of upsets and find themselves going into the finale with the arch-rival Yellow Jackets with a 5-3-1 record and a bid from the Sun Bowl dangling under their noses. There is speculation that Georgia will get the bid to meet Texas Tech regardless of the outcome of the Tech game.
