195 Highest Draft Number In 1970 Draft Ceiling
Washington AP Draft Director Curtis Tarr said lottery number 195 will be the highest called in the 1970 draft. The ceiling for September and August remains 195, signaling many with numbers above 105 from last December are effectively safe this year. The September through December calls total 39,000, bringing 1970 drafts to 163,500, the lowest since Vietnam began. Tarr noted returning deferments and new manpower have reduced pressure, making further ceiling raises unlikely this year.
