His football future now will have to be either on some other pro team, some semi-pro team or on the Giant taxi squad. All in all, that's still somewhat more promising than Mel An- thony's four-week stint with the Browns last year. Anthony was another member of the 1964 Rose Bowl backfield. The only player off that team that is still earning his cold cash is John Henderson. Henderson is making it with the Detroit Lions (no great accom- plishment in itself) after being traded from the. Eagles last year. Coach Harry Gilmer tried the for- mer all-time top Wolverine pass receiver (before Jack Clancy) only briefly on offense. But he soon found the ideal slot for him in the aging Lion second- ary as heir to Dick (Night Train) Lane. Henderson was one of three for- mer Wolverine ends playing with the Lions last year. All-Pro Ron Kramer and offensive captain Terry Barr were the others. Barr has since retired to the less bloody role of an insurance executive. Back in the middle fifties, when Barr signed with the pros, draft picks were commanding meager bonuses of $10,000 to $20,000. That was before the birth of the oil- rich, player-poor American Foot- ball League and the subsequent pocketbook-power panorama. Bill Yearby, first round draft choice of the New York Jets and - ---- pocketed sums near or above halfi a million. There was, of course, Harold (The Thing) Lucas who couldn't stomach the gut-busting waist-re- ducing diet of the pros-(either that or the degrading worldliness of the money war) -and walked away from the breakfast table and 300 G's one pre-season day. Yearby and Mack were more ambitious and sweated through All-Star training under Johnny Sauer and then joined their re- spective teams. Jet coach Weeb Ewbank main- tains that Yearby is "a natural athlete and will be put in the line- up someplace." As of yet, however, Ewbank hasn't found the spot and Yearby is getting seasick from be- ing tossed back and forth. He started out as an offensive end, the position he "preferred," but soon was moved over to a de- fensive end slot and has more re- cently been shifted to lineback- ing. At only 230 pounds, Yearby isn't the biggest linebacker in the busi- ness, and the weeks with the All- Stars and the constant experi- menting have given him little chance to learn the hundred-odd plays. Consequently, he's been having trouble getting any higher than third string and has even been playing on the "suicide squad." Mack, on the other hand, has had more success with the Rams and is expected to start at offen- sive guard. He will join another former Wolverine star-Tom Keating-as a starter in the land of surfers, Sunkist and Sinatra. Keating is playing defensive guard for the Oakland Raiders after being traded by the Bills last season. A broken ankle had kept him out of action in 1964 and he. stayed on the sidelines when 270-; Keating had been one of three 1963 Michigan gridders on the Buffalo team at the beginning of last season. Only one is still left. E- FORMER MICHIGAN FULLBACK Mel Anthony (37) streaks into the end zone completing the longest run from scrimmage in Rose Bowl history against Oregon State, Jan. 1, 1965. Anthony, who was named most valuable player of the game, ran 84 yards to aid the Wolverines in their 34-7 victory over the Beavers. Trailing Anthony is tackle Tom Mack, who will play for the Los Angeles Rams this year. BILL YEARBY I 11 71. I [ a I NEW STYLES FIRST AT', WILD'S in a great traditon... Suits by Al17rn 4 9T.

There are a few other ex-Wol- verines, like Bennie McRae of the Bears, scattered throughout the pro ranks as Michigan remains a top contributor to the 100-plus former Big Ten player store. Yearby, Mack and Clancy will probably make history, though, as the highest-paid bonus babies off a Wolverine team. Mack and Yearby already have their blank checks filled out, while Clancy and his lawyer will have their chance later this fall. Clancy represents a built-in wrinkle that still has to be ironed out of the pro merger pact, since both St. Louis of the NFL and Miami of the AFL drafted him in the 1965 draft. Whatever sum he finally settles for-and it likely will be impres- sive-it will still be anti-climatic after last year's dollar-dealing three-ring circus acts between two clubs and a player. fp 2000 W.
