Houston Oilers Release
Their 20 College Picks
Houston’s Oilers have re
leased their draft list tua
1969 and, oddly enough, there
is only one U of Her on the
list and one UT man out of 20.
Topping the list is lineback-
er Ron Pritchard from Ari-
zona State. The 21-year-old
is six-one and tips the scales
at 222. his home town is Anti-
och, Calif.
The number twe mar. on the
list is split end Jerry Levias
of Southern Methodist. For an
end, Levias is on the short
side, five-10 and light, 175.
The fact that the 22-year-old
lad is on the small side does
little to explain his record,
he has broken all of Doak Wal-
ker’s season and career rec-
ords on punt and kickoff re-
turns and shattered all of
Henton Musslewhite’s school
receiving records. The Beau-
mont boy caught 15 passes in
one game, 80 in a season and
155 in his career gaining, 1,
131 yards in a season, 2,275
so far in his career.
The third man on the list,
a Columbus, Miss, boy of only
250 pounds and six-five at 22,
played offensive tackle at Ten-
nessee State, but he has also
played tight end and caught
21 passes for 22 yards, three
TDs and was All State Full-
back in high school. Elbert
Drungo has excellent speed.
4.8 in 40 which may e-xplain
his playing defensive end and
linebacker as a freshman at
TSU and starting tight end on
two straight unbeaten Tenne-
ssee State teams.
Rich Johnson, an Illinois
fullback, was drafted. Called
the workhorse of the Illinois
backfield, the 21-year-old,
six-two boy was the most val-
uable player on the Illinois
team. He is from Canton, Ill.
Another light, small man,
185-pounds and five-11, is
Charlie “Cho Cho" Joiner
from Lake Charles. La. The
three time. All Conference
flankerback from Grambling
will be tried first as a defen-
sive back where he played as
a freshman.
From Powell River, Brit-
ish Columbia, via New Mexi-
co State, Roy Gerela,21,five-

kicker and defensive back. He

cialist who also plays defen-
sive back. He was ranked sev-
enth in the nation as a denior
in punting with a41.6average.
His great leg strength is sup-
ported by the fact that he kick-
ed off 47 times as a senior
and the opposition was only
above to run 18 of them back,
meaning the other 29 went out
of the end zone.
The University of Houston's
Johnny Peacock, 21, six-two,
205, from Goliad was picked
as defensive back. He will be
used as a safety by the Oilers.

The last man on the list,
Melvin Autry is from Univer-
sity of southern Mississippi.
He is 21, six-three and 230
and is picked for center, al-
though he has played both
center and guard for Southern.
He was All-State in high
school.
From this line-up it would
seem that the Oilers a re pick-
ing men for defensive use ra-
ther than offensive and taking
the fast ones over the really
big boys, the biggest on the
draft list is 250, while there
are boys floating around that
are bigger, but holding, for the
most part on an average of
around 210.
Atlantic Brant
Texas Visitors
Although Texas has a sea-
son on brant, it is merely a
legality — brant usually stay
on the Atlantic Flyway.
That’s why peisonnel at the
Texas Parks and Wildlife De-
partment’s Gambill Goose Re-
fuge near Paris tn Lamar
County, were surprised to
see an American brant mixed
in with the Canada geese.
Joe Vandiver, supervisor at
the refugi says, “American
brant normally migrate down
the Mlantic coast, wintering
as far south as North Caro-
lina. How this one got off
course and wound up on the
Central Flyway will remain a
mystery, but we are pleased
that he rhose t. .top and visit
with us a while.’’
