...with Bob's assessment of Ivy League talent. In fact, after Thursday's annual pro draft, it looks as if Blackman will be able to take his pick of this year's unbeaten seniors if he needs to fill any coaching positions at Illinois. One thing is sure-the pros aren't interested in them...
...some quirk of fate-or perhaps because of Hill's success as a rookie in Dallas-Yale managed to have not one, not two, but three players picked off by the pros. Eli linebacker Jim Gallagher went to Minnesota in the 12th round, while Tom Neville was snatched by Baltimore in the 14th round and fullback Don Martin, who was impressive in post-season All-Star games, went to Oakland in, yes, the seventh round.

Yet much more is needed than MacGregor's good will. Old pros on the Hill are beginning to wonder if Nixon really understands Congress, despite his four years in the House. The fact that MacGregor is sporting an I CARE ABOUT CONGRESS button seems to them to symbolize the Administration's naive cheerleader approach to politics...
