Ray McCullough takes his spot among Wolverine super stars By RICH STUCK The annual phenomena called the pro footbail draft is finally over. The hectic, oft-confusing af- fair has left in its wake some very happy players and somebpuzzled athletes who weren't to be found on the draft lists. Michigan had six players pluck-. ed from its senior class while two standouts were bypassed. Paul Seymour was the first Wolverine selected, going to the Buffalo Bills in the opening round. After Seymour, Randy Logan was the next selectee, getting his call from Philadelphia. Bo Rather was picked by Miami, Fred Grambau by Kansas City, Clint1 Spearman went in the thirteenth round to Los Angeles, and Bill' Hart was the final Wolverine to get the nod, selected by the Chi- cago Bears in the sixteenth round. Seymour and his fiance, Linda Kress, are looking forward to liv- ing in Buffalo. "I hear it's a good sports town. I've already done an ad for a radio station there.

However, when Aranha nipped McCullough in the Big Ten meeta when McCullough had not reached his peak yet, Stager put Aranha in the medley race at the NCAA's. According to McCullough, the team would have taken fourth place in the race instead of the sixth they took, if he had swam. This season, however, every- thing is falling into place.
