Durkota Signs With Browns;
Suhey May Become Steeler
By Tom Morgan
Plans for extending grid careers
to the professional football ranks
were revealed yesterday by sev
eral key Lion gridmen whose col
legiate playing days ended with
the recent campaign.
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.”
