Ohio Gridders Lead Draft Picks From Ohio Colleges
Pro football scouts picked 19 Ohioans in the draft, led by Bowling Green with five selections. Ohio State had four, Toledo two, and Xavier, Cincinnati, Kent State and Findlay one each. Notable picks include Tom Mack of Michigan and Carl Singer of Purdue, with several OSU, BG, and Kent State players drafted by both leagues. Sixteen Ohioans were chosen by NFL or AFL teams, including Browns picks Milt Morin and Rick Norton. Gordie Howe nets 600th goal for Red Wings in 600th NHL game milestone.
