For example, the very first man chosen was Ki Aldrich, the Texas Christian Centre, who made the consensus All-America. And among those chosen in the first two or three rounds were such All-America performers as MacLeod, Dartmouth back; O'Brien, T.C.U. back; Hall, Mississippi back, Goldberg, Pittsburgh back; Young, Oklahoma end, and Wysocki, Villanova end.
Other players who were named All-America by certain sports writers in their own sections also were among.|the top choices, e Sid Luckman, Columbia back, who was second on the list Davey O'Brien, the Texas Christian quarterback, who was voted the nation's outstanding college player of the year by the sports writers, was picked fourth. Then there was Osmanski, Holy Cross back; Pingel, Michigen State back; Haak of Indiana, etc.
Sometimes, of course, the very fact.|that a player has received national publicity as did Davey O'Brien, causes him to be rated high on the professional list. Many clubs like to gamble with a big name. But if the big-name player does not make good in his first three or four games, he ceases to be a drawing card.
