If anybody can judge c lea ted tal ent in priae-riaed paokages it’s the ! ido-lt-forrdough pigskin propnetors.. Xkt season’s end they know more' About the college stars than said performers’ mothers, or wives as the ease may be «G NAMES SHUNNED •So it probably oame as some thing of a surprise that the pros, when they started divvying up the available talent, in making, their early choices bypassed such sup posed aces as Tennessee’s Hank Lauricella, Illinois’ Johnny Karras, SMU’s Dick Hightower, Maryland’s Bob Ward and Michigan State’s Tom Coleman, just to name a sel ect handful. Thus we come upon rather be latedly, off the first professional choices for each position, with what should be the real AU-America team of 1951. It stacks up like this; FIRST TEAM Fos. Name School E. Bob Carey Michigan State ■T. Gino Marchetti, San Francisco G. Ray Beck Georgie Tech C. Lies Richter California IG. Elmer Costa - N. C. State T. Jim Weatherall Oklahoma £. Sill Howton Rice S.

"Rd Modeel ewski, Maryland; Larry Stbell. Bay lor; Hugh McElbenny, Washington and Jim Dooley. Miami. And I’ll bet you never heard of more than half of them. But you can wager they’re good or. .they wouldn't get early recognition in the draft, where pro team is tfflrtg to slip over a .real hot ringer. REAL (HWHkMBS ' Marchetti and Costa surprises. The Yanks, drafting Mar chetci. praised this 230 pounder as one of. the lest linesmen of. this or any other season. And Cleveland, looking always for the terrific line men such as teve made the Browns the terror of pro football, labqjjfhe virtually unknown Costa as “super colossal." From the way the pros piclf’em, you can see that they care little, lor the collegiate “watch charm” type. They want their men full of vita mins and with ample altitude.' A linesman under 200 pounds is.strict ly an unwanted midget. ■ • Included among the draftees, were players from such way Olcorn A&M, somewhere in Miss issippi, and Stephen F. Austin State in Texas, which shows you -how thoroughly the pros comb the na tion’s gridirons in their all-out tal ent search. So, while maybe, all . .1 these guys didn't get their-TAil .
