April 27, 1967 MikeDitka Gels 150,000 For Nothing PHILADELPHIA (AP) Surehanded Mike Ditka, the, new tight end of the Philadel phia Eagles, is a rare example of a man who can have his cake and eat it, too.

Houston, in the interest of good harmony, said it did not intend to drag the Ditka case into the courts and would let him pocket the $50,000.

"I'm not really disappointed that I didn't go with Houston," the 27-year-old Ditka said from his home in Downers Grove, m.
