Jagade Asks to Be Traded To Chicago Pro Grid Team Fullback Chick Jagade of the Cleveland Browns said he believes he can play with a Chicago team and still retain his position as a sales engineer, but he "definitely" will not play with Cleveland this season. "My company Precision Casting Co. has given me no alternative in the matter. I simply cant get the time off to play for Cleveland," he said. Jagade said he thought he could play for a Chicago team, if a trade could be arranged. "If I can have three or four hours a day," he said, "I think I could take care of my job. That way I could practice in the morning and still have the afternoon free." He said he had not talked to either the Chicago Cardinals or Chicago Bears, but that he had discussed the matter of a trade with Paul Brown, Cleveland coach. He said he felt he had three or four more good years left and added that his play for a Chicago team would have to be decided by his company if a trade was arranged. He said Brown talked to the president of the company. "But if I cant play except at Cleveland," he said, "then Im going to quit. Its either quit my job or quit football, and financially and forthe future, theres only onechoice*"] mM .ylyrt nei VWtWi j
