M ' The answer for pro football, which up to now has depended on the colleges to furnish fits star ammunition, is a minor league system fwhich this season., w work with eight clubs, Indicative of the trend, the're were only six . ill i of these teams last-year- . "And within tfive - years' . says j fourj leagues of six (earns each spreading from coast to coast." As example of how valuable "minor" leagues can ' become to the gaudy future? of pro football, from that one little league last year a total of '30 players ' "graduated" to the big leagues of the gridiron the National and American Leagues in the United States as well as the Canadian League. 16 Players Moved Up !"Just as an,rindicatioh of how valuable 'we 'can, be to the major leagues of pro football," Gareff explained, ''sixteen of those players who moved up were former sandlotters who never played' college ball." This has, been one of the insects in the ointment, as far as the top pro leagues were con cerned. For instance, the Baltimore Colts developed a ' star named Big Daddy Lipscomb who was a sahdlotter. But it's a gamble. There's another facet which is ' six-tea- m n mey stm aren't npe for the rig ors or Npro.j jf ootball. "They still need that professldh al experience," says Joe Fols, commissioner of the American Football League. "Many coaches feel that top ranking players wno have all tie talents to make lit big in pro j football are played in the wrong position in college "Before, entering the top echelon of pro football, they need experience at their new positions.

Just to hit you with , all the facts, ma'am, the pro golf brigade this year is playing for a total prize money of $2,500,000. - currently That ain't hay but, the ;way the pro golf board of directors tells r it, it's only the .beginning. Get Junior Playing You got to hate money if you don't kick junior ,s caboose out in the back yard and get him to hitting those clubs until he can flog a ball through a knot hole in the h '. side of the barn. Let's just look at the Buick Open in which they are competing today. First of all. Five 6f the top seven money winners have become so calloused to cash that they passed this one up to aviate to Scotland for the prestige involved, in the British Open. Yet, if you should win the Buick, you Carry Off the top price of $9,000 plus another $1,000 for demonstrating a shot in the official picture of the event. ji But that ain't all. The winner also gets sPnew Buick every year for five yCars to use as his own. That figures out to a value of apor a proximately $2,500 a year of total $22,500. grand .. .At the moment this lis the second biggest payoff of the year, the Thunderbird Classic having had a top cash prize of $25,000., Then there was Arnold Palmer's first place winnings ot $20,000 In the Masters; Jack Nicklaus wih-,ni$17,500 plus the U S.
