Southern California surprisingly signed a contract with the Kansas City Chiefs of the American Football league during halftime yesterday at the East-West game He announced it on television and a minute after he was off-camera he signed Garrett was the No 2 draft choice of the Los Angeles Rams of the and a 20th round choice of the Chiefs Don Klosterman head talent scout for the Chiefs who signed Garrett said Pete Beathard former Southern California quarterback now with the Chiefs played a major role in influencing Garrett to go to Kansas City instead of signing with the Rams really think we had a chance to get Klosterman said after the death of Mack Lee Hill Garrett thought he had an opportunity to step right Hill Kansas City halfback died recently while undergoing a knee operation guarantee make you a good football Klosterman quoted Garrett Klosterman stood beside Garrett while the Heisman trophy winner made his signing announcement Also present was attorney Richard Kamins of Beverly Hills Calif The Heisman trophy is an annual award and the winner generally is considered the collegiate football player of the year Few in the stadium caught the immediate significance of appearance at the microphone on the field Klosterman said later that he hear all Garrett said on TV even though he stood next to him The Rams reportedly dropped out of the bidding Thursday at $200000 Neither Klosterman Garrett nor Kamins would disclose the terms of the contract One informed source said the contract called for around $300-000 spread over a few years with the assurance the 5-foot-9 100-pound Garrett would be used as a running back Garrett originally had intended to play baseball this season at A possible professional career awaited him with the Pittsburgh Pirates who had drafted him if he had a good season Most of the 56121 fans who watched Garrett gain 72 yards in 16 carries as hie West won 22-7 were unaware he had signed He made the announcement into a television microphone as 3000 bandsmen and marchers swirled about the field during the half-time pageant made up my mind last night Garrett said after the game I heard about the Rams I called my attorney in Los Angeles to find what it was all Klosterman said hie Chiefs started negotiating in earnest about two weeks ago In 10 games for Southern Cal this seasbn Garrett scored 16 touchdowns He
