Viator, will increase if he gets past May 2. On that date in 1978 and in 1979, he underwent surgery, first on his left knee, then his "He does not have the physical qualities of the sure-' fire guys, but he certainly is a willing guy and there's always room for players like that," said Finks. Zettek and ninth-rounder Ditta joined Van Home, Singletary, and Margerum on the first-team Associated Press All-America squad last year. The 6-2, 264-pound Ditta may have the best chance of all the second-day choices to make the team. "They told me they were looking, for guards," said Ditta.

THE BEARS ALWAYS take a quarterback to fiU training camp needs. Finks said Clifford's arm compared with last year's ninth-round choice, Turk Schonert, who was cut and claimed by the Cincinnati Bengals. "My ability to come up with the big play is my strong suit," said Clifford. "They say I don't have a strong arm, but my touch and ability to read defenses gets me by." Johnson also fills the training camp roster and Shupyrt, who prepped at Hillcrest High School, is just happy to be invited. "I didn't know I was that good," Shupyrt told the Bear scouts.

With that, ha became the first draftee to get a chance to prove himself wrong. Continued from page 1 a little afraid of myself," he said. He said he has never hurt anyone with his tackles. "If you play the game the way it's supposed to be played, nobody gets hurt," he said. Singletary has been a linebacker from his first day on a football field.

"They gave a guy the ball and said, 'Now you stop I was the smallest kid on the field. He was a lot larger than me. I tackled him and did a little growling. The coach said, 'You look like a linebacker. "I said, 'What's a v.

"He said, 'You get over there and you hit "I said, Told that Butkus was once accused of biting an official, Singletary said: "As rude as that sounds, I like that. I wouldn't do it. I have a lot of respect for officials. But when somebody else does it, I like it." GENERAL MANAGER Jim Finks put his sixth and seventh-round cornerbacks, San Diego's Reuben Henderson and USC's Fisher, into that gray area of talent that no computer or scouting method can measure. "A lot of times, you don't get a handle on defensive backs," he said.

The best one in football last season, Oakland's Lester Hayes, was a Finks said the Bears would try to find free-agent wide receivers and defensive backs everywhere from doorsteps to basketball courts. Receiver James Scott, who left them Monday night for Canada, appeared from' nowhere in 1976. lina; 2 Dav Young, ts, Purdue; 3-John Mistier, wr, Arlnna State; 4- Clifford Chatmen, rb, Central Stat (Okie Bill Neill, dt, Pitt; a MeMn Hoover, wr, Arizona State; Sketches of the Bears' 1981 college draft choices Keith Van Home The first lineman selected in the draft, the 6-6Vt, 265-pound Van Home is a "can't miss" prospect expected to make his presence felt immediately. Coach Neill Armstrong doesn't know whether he will play left or right tackle, but the guess is left tackle, where starter Ted Albrecht was drafted as a guard. Scout Jim Parmer called him "the second best tackle I've seen in a long time." No.

1 in Parmer's estimation was Van Home's 1979 USC teammate, Anthony Munoz of the Bengals. "He (Van Home) finishes his man off better than anyone," said Parmer. "I don't know that he is as proficient as Dennis Lick was pass blocking when he came out, but the rest Is better. And he's a better athlete than we felt Ted Albrecht was coming out. This guy is going to be kinda special." Mike Singletary The Bears figured this 5-11V, 230-pound middje linebacker would be drafted late In the first round.

When he went through the first few picks in the second round, the Bears traded their fifth-round pick to San Francisco to Jump from 10th to 8th and grab Singletary before the Vikings could. At Baylor, where he was a first-team All-America, he cracked helmets in his zest to tackle. "He'll have the opportunity to show us whether he can start or not," said Coach Neill Armstrong. He was a unanimous choice as captain in his last two years. Ken Margerum Northwestern Coach Dennis Green, who coached Margerum for three years at Stanford, calls the MOV 170-pound wide receiver a sure bet to make it.

"His strength Is he can go get the ball, over the middle, deep, any place. He has long legs, so he plays like he's 6- He's awfully hard to cover one-on-one, and he can lay out and catch the ball better than anybody." He bfoke receiving records held by ex-Stanford greats Gene Washington, Tony Hill, and James Lofton. I Todd Bell A 6-OVj, 207-pound safety at Ohio State, Bell will be tried at both cornerback and safety. He excels on special teams. Bell broke Jesse Owens' Ohio high school long jump record with a 24-3V4 leap.

He has 9.7 speed, but never showed the quickness' required of a higher draft choice. 3a Qreg Melsner, dt, Pitt: 3b Robert Cobb, de, Arizona; 4 George Ula, Michigan; ft-William Daniels, dt, Alabama State. 7a Ron Battle, te, North Texae State; 7b Mike Clark, Green Bay oe, r-ionae; 8 Art piunkett, ot, Nevada-Las Vegas: Ron Seawell. 1 Rlnh Camnhell- oh.

Happiest Cub of the Day honors, though, still had to go to Durham, the result of his homer off Sutter. 1 i "I was really keyed up to face him," said Durham, who was 2-for-4 against Sutter last season when Leon was with the Cardinals. time you face a guy you've been traded for, you really want to get a piece of him.
