Right-winger Ron Anderson of Boston Braves, left wing John Gould of Cincinnati and defeneeman Ralph Keller of Hershey Bears and Rick Pagnutti of Rochester Americans complete the second squad. McKay won the Eddie Shore Trophy as the league's outstanding defeneeman while Inglis was voted the most valuable player and picks up the Les Cunningham Trophy. The Red Garrett Memorial Trophy, for rookie-of-the-year honors, went to rookie-of-the-year selections. Left winger Yvon Lambert of Nova Scotia Voyageurs was the only unanimous choice on the first team.

Joining Lambert are Voyageurs Bob Murray, on defence, and right winger Tony Featherstone. The Voyageurs also placed goalie Michel Larocque and centre Morris Stefaniw, former Estevan Bruin star, on the second team. Two Cincinnati Swords, defeneeman Ray McKay and centre Billy Inglis, rounded out the first team, with Virginia Red Wings "The people here and the city had more to do with my decision than money. I'd still like to live here even if I wasn't playing football." He said he did not come here because Montreal "was more advantageous to the black athlete," but because he thinks the longer and wider field in Canada "will be to my advantage." Head coach Mary Levy was asked how he expected the remainder of his players to react to the rich contract signed by Rodgers. "I've been asked this several times since negotiations began," Levy said.

"The players are elated that we have a man here who is going to help us win." Rodger's decision to choose the Alouettes over the offer made by the Chargers was announced in Los Angeles Thursday. Rodgers said the San Diego offer "was a very good contract but not as good as the contract offered by Montreal." Sam Berger, owner of the Alouettes said that negotiations with Langberg and Rodgers had been "imicable throughout" and there had been no contentious hassles. "I'm sure that the other clubs in the league will have to treat us with respect this season," Berger said of his 1972 third-place club. agreement with second-round choice Brent Leavins who played with the WCHL's Swift Current Broncos last year and fourth-round pick Jacques Tetreauit of Drummond-ville, Que.

But Langberg said that he would like to clear up "a few things" concerning the pact, "I never said the contract was in excess of six figures as some reports I've read have indicated," Langberg said. "I also read that the Alouettes would be required to pay a triple penalty if Johnny was cut or traded there is absolutely no provision for this in his contract." Rodgers had been quoted as saying the Als won the battle for his services over the National Football League San Diego Chargers because the latter wanted to use him strictly as a punt return specialist and wide receiver. But the five-foot, nine-inch Rodgers, who weighs 173 pounds, said that was only part of the story.
