First NFL Draft Was Here, 1936

The first NFL draft was held here, Feb. 8-9, 1936, when it was the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. See http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/eagles/20160710_First_NFL_draft__held_at_Philly_s_Ritz-Carlton__went_unnoticed.html. I looked at the Philadelphia Inquirer for those two dates, and found no mention of it. I found it on 2/10/36, see https://www.newspapers.com/image/174533367/.
