It was learned, however, that the league will open its season Sept. 29, with one game scheduled that date for Los Angeles, new home of the championship Cleveland Rams' franchise. The moguls were determined that when they do arrive at a schedule, probably sometime today, they would not reveal dates and sites, on the grounds the All-America might benefit in drawing up its own playing lists for next fall. dovano tells his pals that he spent $31,000 to got 17 ers under con- As East Invades Oshkosh Court 1 tract for his Buffalo All- 4 America con ference football 'All -4 club Luke Red Devils Looking For Fifth Valley Triumph in a Row I J6r' AM (Chi.

The league staggered into the sixth day of a marathon winter session today after going through the player draft and drawing up a schedule tentatively to open Sept. 29.

Draft Loses Significance The draft lost most of Its significance when the clubs refused to identify most of the players selected for fear the rival All-America conference would get to them first with drooling checkbooks. Those who were named probably will not play professional football anywhere before another season, at least, Is past. For the record, the Pittsburgh Steclers chose Felix (Doc) Blanrhard of Army but he is expected to play at least one more season for the Cadets. Bianchard actually was third choice. The Boston Yanks, getting the first choice over the last-place Chicago Cardinals by a league agreement, had to pick.

An All-America league entry, as well as the world champion ex-Cleveland Rams, is expected to apply for use of the stadium.
