Fast running and blocking backs were in demand by most of the other teams during th first five rounds of the drawing. By Dick Toner A speedy quintet from Richmond, led by Bob Mayers, a flashy forward, handed Lowell for money next year. Harmon's name was the first drawn in the annual draft of the National Professional Football League, Actually he was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles, under a rule which permits the league's last place team to make the first draw, but through a previous agreement the Eagles yielded first choice to the Bears.

Bob Cherry, each scored five, By CURLEY GRIEVE Sports Editor of Hit Examiner The Pacific Coast Conference averted a nasty mess when it agreed to give the Rose Bowl players a share of the receipts providing they can make their case stand up in the Atherton court.

The Rose Bowl game has had one constant nightmarish angle since its inauguration. The participants who have given freely of their perspiration and epidermis during the regular season have always felt as if they should get a kickback in such an obviously commercial enterprise as Pasadena's Tournament of Roses. You can't blame them, either. By the time they arrive at the Rose Bowl they are usually seniors playing their last game in college football, and beginning to wonder how they'll pay their board bill come summer. They ponder upon the wealth they have brought their alma mater through blocks and tackles that rattle their bones and consider plans whereby they at least can sink their hooks into part of the final pot a nice, juicy pot which they alone have earned.

A few straight talking, clear thinking veterans can stir up trouble for coach and graduate manager and this might lead to great embarrassment. Dozens of Bowl Arguments. One Rose Bowler told me that his team "persuaded" an athletic director to donate $100 outright to the seniors and the policy was adhered to in later Rosebowl contests. Jock Sutherland's troubles at Pittsburgh date back to a Pasadena game in which he had a falling out with the graduate manager because the latter adopted a penurious attitude toward the player's. There have been a dozen other cases of trouble at the Rose Bowl including such as George Wilson, Washington's immortal, who swears the Huskies promised him a fat fee and then went back on their words; Stanford's Vow boys betting on themselves to get spending money; graduate managers bribing the players with game tickets, etc.

I don't suppose there has been a single Rose Bowl game without gome inner friction resulting from the players' demands for a small cut. I don't know whether the conference's $50 donation will solve the problem. Pay and Ask No Questions. It will depend upon the administration of the act. But if anyone thinks the "cure" is payment of $50 to four or five members of a squad who present "legitimate stories of remuneration lost by giving up their holiday vacation," they are dead wrong.

newly-won laurels. Standlee has already declared he'd like a shot at pro ball. When he picked up Gallarneau, the Stanford right half, Halas probably was tipped off by Coach Shaughnessy himself. Shaughnessy hasn't said so, but I believe he thinks Gallarneau his best back. Anyway, he's the best man I've seen on reverses since Ernie Caddell, another Stanfordite, who proved brilliant in pro ball.

Familiar with the formation, Gallarneau will fit easily into Halas' system. For that matter, so will Standlee. Harmon, I guess, would be a star in any system. Tommy Says Ho Won't Turn Pro NEW YORK, Dec. 10.

(AP) Tommy Harmon, informed today that he had been the first choice in the National Professional Football League's annual draft and that the Chicago Bears had first call on his services, reiterated his statement that he would not play pro ball. Obviously pleased and a little surprised that he was the No. 1 selection, the star Michigan back said: "That doesn't influence my decision not to play.
