Mural Draft
Success
By DICK DURIS
Intramural   tackle   football Frank Mulholland
which will begin next fall on
the Hilltop took its first big
step last Friday afternoon
when the annual draft choices
were made by the participating
teams of the league.   •
The three teams comprising
the league are: the Pershing
Rifles, the Block Society and
the Delta Sigma Pi.
Same As NFL
The draft procedure was the
same as employed by the NFL
with each team drawing to determine the order of draft.
Delta Sigma Pi drew the first
choice pick; the Block Society
won the right to draft second,
and the 'Pershine Rifles drew
third.
It was decided before the
draft that the team drawing
third would be given the bonus choice. Therefore, the Pershing Rifles were able to get a
jump on the other squads by
their third place position in
the drawing. For the bonus choice the Pershing Rifles
chose former St. Ignatius High
star Bill Koenig.
Players picked in the draft
will remain with the team that
chooses them until they have
terminated their college careers or are traded to one of the
other clubs.
In future years only one
draft will be held, but next
fall a supplementary draft will
be helu for incoming freshmen
and transferees.
Big Surprise
Biggest surprise of the draft
was the Pershing Rifles choice
of Bill Koenig as the bonus
pick. There were many names
considered as possible bonus
choices, but Koenig was not
one of them. Therefore, it was
a mild surprise when the P.R.'s
made their choice.
Representing the three teams
were: Jim Hermann, manager;
Ed Griffin, captain, and Jack
Doherty, (Pershing Rifles);
Charlie Myers, manager; Mike
Gregor, captain, and Tom Tom-
masser, chief advisor, (Block
Society), and Dave Cerini, manager and Frank Trumbower,
captain (Delta Sigma Pi). Coach
Sarge McKenzie and his assist-
ane Vince Briare supervised
the draft.
Following is the list of the
first twenty-three rounds of
the draft:
