Emie Davis To Use Part Bonus Pay Mortgage SAN FRANCISCO (AP)--The first $5,000 of Ernie Davis' foot- ball bonus will pay off the mort- gage on the home of Ernie's mother, Mrs, Marie Radford of Elmira, N.Y. Davis, Syracuse University star and the first Negro winner of the Heisman Trophy as the outstanding United States foot- ball player, accepted a $15,000 bonus Thursday on signing a $65,000 three-year contract with Cleveland Browns. It was the highest contract ever announced for a National Football League rookie, At the signing Arthur B. Mo- dell, Cleveland's board chair- man, said: "We know Ernie is going to make it and make it real big." Davis is equally confident he will succeed in NFL competi- tion. "As a Heisman Trophy win- ner, I believe I am one of the best and I want to play with the best,"" Davis said. In this language, Davis ex- plained why he signed with the NFL's Cleveland team rather than accept an offer from Buf- falo Bills of the American League, who finished their sec- ond season in 1961. The Buf- falo offer was reported to be more than $100,000 for three sea- sons, Anthony W. Defilippo, who served as Davis' counsellor in negotiations with Cleveland and Buffalo, said important consid- erations in signing with Cleve- land in the established NFL had been assurances of guidance into a future business career. Davis had 16 cents in his pocket when he arrived for the signing ceremony. FRENCH CHEESE The soft, white Brie cheese comes from the Brie region of northern France, east of Paris.
