Big One to Come. By week's end the N.F.L. had already signed 13 out of the 16 first-round draft choices and lost only one to the A.F.L.: Oklahoma Linebacker Carl McAdams, who signed with Werblin's Jets. The A.F.L. was batting a sorry .500 on its top draft choices, with five out of ten signed and five lost to the N.F.L. Even so, one big battle was still to come over Texas Tech's All-Everything Halfback Donny Anderson, who was drafted last year as a junior by the N.F.L.'s Green Bay Packers and the A.F.L.'s Houston Oilers. Anderson has a date in the Gator Bowl and cannot be bought until Dec. 31. The Packers reportedly are promising him a shot at Paul Hornung's halfback job. Oilers Owner Adams, enraged by the defection of Tommy Nobis, is offering something more substantial. "We are not going to lose Anderson," he vowed last week—and estimates of the extent of Adams' determination range all the way to $800,000.
