Cautiously, the owners first sought out by telephone the graduating star they had in Si XT Cf; Jm back Bob Crespino of Mississippi, and Green Bay selected back Herb Adderly of Michigan State. Pittsburgh, New York and Detroit did not get first round selections as the result of earlier trades. Green Bay, defeated in the NFL championship game by the Eagles, 17-13, Monday, picked 12th. The Packers won the western division title with an 8-4 record but placed behind the Cleveland Browns, runners-up in the eastern division with an 8-3-1 log.

The order for the picks was: Minnesota, Dallas, Washington, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh and Chicago (who tied), Baltimore, St. Louis, Detroit and San Francisco (tied), New York. Green Bay, Cleveland and Philadelphia. AFL teams earlier drafted every one of the top choices selected here today. Rozelle said: "The teams (NFL) just can't afford to waste draft choices on boys already committed or unwilling to play pro football." PHILADELPHIA, Dec.

27. (UPI) The Dallas Cow boys picked up two All-America naturals from the Southwest Conference in the National Football League draft session today and thus touched off the prospect of another football dollar war this time confined to Tcxans. The Cowboys in an on-the-floor trade with Cleveland secured the draft rights to All-America tackle Bob Lilly of Texas Christian on the first round and then reached out for All-America center E. J. Holub of Texas Tech in the second round.

Both Lillv and Holub al ready have been drafted by the Dallas Texans of the ri val American Football League. This means that a battle of Texas money bags with the purse strings thrown away can develop be fore either of the young huskies decides for either circuit. The trade between Cleveland and the Cowboys took 2 hours and 15 minutes to consummate after Cleveland already had made a draft choice of Jim Tyrer, Ohio State tackle. This choice was rescinded and one of the many confer ences which kept the first round running for a record five hours got under way. Cleveland, which had en joyed an earlier first-round choice as the result of a pre vious trade with Detroit, mind.

Cross country calls were a dime a dozen. The first questions asked were whether the selectee-to-be had signed with the either the American Football League or the Canadian League and whether he planned to play pro football at all. Washington, with two choices, took Norman Snead, a Wake Forest back, and Joe Rutgens, Illinois tackle, while the Los Angeles Rams took linebacker Marlin McKeever of Southern California and the Chicago Bears took Mike Dit-ka, All America end from Pitt. St. Louis took All-America tackle Ken Rice of Auburn.

The Cowboys then selected Lilly and immediately went into a huddle with the champion Philadelphia Eagles, the last of the 14 teams to select for the first round. This was in hopes of a similar trade with the Eagles by which the Cowboys could reach out for Holub, but the Eagles held on to their original choice of Art Baker of Syracuse.

When the Minnesota Vikings, drafting first in the role of the league's newest team, chose Ross "Lipp" Hawkins, center linebacker of North Carolina, the way was opened for Dallas to take Holub on the second round.

It will reconvere at 10 a.m. The league usually goes through all 20 rounds in one day, at a clip of one round every 15 minutes sometimes But the comgpetition with the American Football League for college players, and the ex pansion of the league this year, slowed the process. Trying to speed the action, commissioner Pete Rozelle announced after the 3d round that each team would be lim ited to 10 minutes choosing a player.

The Minnesota Vikings, ad mitted formally to the league 12 hours earlier, opened the meeting by selecting Tommy Mason, a speedster halfback from Tulane. Mason, 6-1, 195 pounds, highly touted as a fine offensive back and an excellent de fensive performer, was 15th in the Nation both in running and pass receiving last year. Mason was the first of 280 players who will be drafted by the 14 teams in '20 rounds. Minnesota will fill out its squad at the annual league meeting in New York next month by a pool of players supplied by all other teams of the league except Dallas. They will pay $556,000 for the 36 they select in January.

The owners struggled for hours selecting the players, Both the new hands, who indicated a preference for signing with the 49ers rather than AFL clubs which had drafted them previously, are renowned speedsters and prime flanker back prospects. KILROY SCREAMED Johnson, a 190-pounder rated an outstanding pros pect by his college coach, Billy Barnes, won the NCAA high hurdles at Berkeley last June, where Casey was fourth. The midwesterner also tied for fourth in the Olympic Games trials at Stanford and has done a 9.6 century. Scout Bucko Kilroy of the Philadelphia Eagles screamed loudest when Casey was picked off by the 49ers. "If that guy had been up on the board when it came our turn, we'd have grabbed him so fast it would have made your head swim," Kilroy told The Examiner from Philadelphia.

Averaged about 10 tackles a game and can do good job on offense. arm," said Barnes of his triple threat ace. "He can throw CO with accuracy and his quick delivery is a real asset. He'll keep 'em loose, too, with his running ability." One draft meeting observer couldn't resist. "It looks like Hickey has loaded the other barrel of his 'Shotgun' with Kilmer," was his comment.

"Shotgun is made to order for this boy Kilmer." It's going to be a battle for Kilmer with John Brodie, Y. A. Tittle and Waters eager to keep their places at the 49er training table. HIGHEST RATED Hickey insisted that Johnson, Casey and Kilmer were the three highest rated players on their preliminary list. "We didn't get a single one we wanted picked out from under us," he declared.

"It's our own fault if they're not good players. I'm sure there is good material here, al though you never can tell until it comes time for them to produce." He agreed with Barnes that Johnson "had to make it some place" with the 49ers and that Kilmer had strong potential as a tight back in the orthodox T. When the pros finally called it quits after fifteen hours and nine rounds of drafting, the 49ers had 14 rookies in the fold. Seven of them were backs, five were tackles and the center and end positions were represented by one each. Eleven more rounds will be run off today.

Johnson actually was selected by Pittsburgh for the SF pros to complete the deal which sent defensive halfback Dicky Moegle to the Steelcrs. Similarly, Kilmer, an Ail-American JC choice as a quarterback, but switched to tailback in Barnes' single wing at UCLA, arrived in the 49er fold via a circuitous rout which involved the trade away of offensive end Dee Mackey.

Baltimore General Manager Don Kellett reportedly approached 49er coach Red Hickey before the lengthy draft session got under way early yesterday morning and asked if he was interested in trading for either Mackey or Monte Stickles. STRONG ARM BOY The Colts expressed a preference for Mackey, a 6-5, 240 pounder who was the middleman on the now famous Bobby Waters to Mackey to R. C. Owens "Shotgun" pass which led to the upsetting of Baltimore back east. Ultimately, the deal was closed when Baltimore turned over a first draft choice it had coming from New York in the George Shaw exchange and Hickey instructed the Colts to pull Kilmer's name out of the box.

"All the ratings on him are real high. He not only could be the fullback the 49ers need, but, from what I'm given to understand, would help anybody." Plainly, when the 49ers landed on Johnson and Casey they were looking for pass receivers, who not only could catch the ball, but could go places with it after that. Dallas).
