Already signed, sealed and ready to be delivered to the Cleve land Browns next season is the Blue and White’s top scoring package, 205-pound wingback Jeff Durkota. The crack Cleveland club captured the rugged Colver, Pa., back in opposition to the championship Philadelphia Eagles of the rival National Football Conference, who had also drafted him. In Durkota, the Browns sought a n excellent defensive halfback and came up with one who will also fill the bill on offense. He will add much to the Cleveland backfield which now boasts such greats as otto Graham and Mario n Motley. Coached by Paul Brown, expo nent of the “T” formation, the Browns have now annexed the All-America Conference diadem in the league’s first two years .in operation. Durkota entertains high hopes of finding a place in the '4B Cleveland attack. DRAFT SUHEY All-American guard Steve Suhey, from Oazenovia, N. Y., ex pects to “take a whack at pro ball” next season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, who drew hi s name in the National Football Conference )layer draft. Although Suhey has not signed a contract, the time is ripe for dickering between pro teams and prospective players. Hailed as “one of the greatest * linemen in State - history.” the popular Nittany guard of ’4l. ’42, '46 and '47 prefers the single wing attack, which is practiced by Coach Jock Sutherland’s Steelers. Although he has finished his football eligibility, Suhey has two imore semesters of college to com-' plete because war service inter rupted his schooling following the '42 gridiron season. He said, “I plan to finish college, however, during summer and spring sessions between football seasons.” SEEK NOLAN Definitely in line for a pay-for play football contract is John No lan, star tackle on the Lion eleven, whose draft rights are held by the Boston Yanks of the National loop and the Chicago Rockets of the All-America league. Not signed as yet, the 228-pound giant fcpm Glens Falls, N. Y., hopes to spend “a few years” in the pro game. As yet undecided on a profes sional grid career is John “Shag” Wolosky, Lion center who has been contacted by “one or more professional teams.” Like Suhey, the Nittany lineman from Browns ville, Pa., had his schooling in terrupted in ’42 and will finish has sixth semester i n June. Not available for comment wes John Potsklan, Blue and White end, who reportedly “might play pro ball if the right offer comes along.” !M Bowlers Halfway | First-half winner in the IMA Bowling Leagpe will be announced January .15. the date on which the first half of the bowling season .will be completed, according to Frank Tidona. president of ISC.
