nipping of the Nips came late
enough in the year to assure clear
sailing for the National Football
League at the box Office this fall,
but there's stiff competition brew
ing for l946.
Wars end found an armed truce
between the long established ma
tional circuit and the proposed ALL
America conference which is
champing at the bit as it awaits
return of prospective players from
military service.
Officials of the embryonic league
admit that even If all their ear
marked talent returned within a
month, it would be impossible to
start operations this year.
But Arch Ward, guiding light of
the new circuit, asserted that the
wars end came at exactly the right
time for a 1916 getaway.
The loop holds franchises in three
National League c1tles-NeW York,
Chicago and Cleveland-and in
Miami. Buffalo, Los Angeles and
San Francisco. with an eighth city
to be selected.
Ward admits that a battle of dol
lars for talent will play havoc with
professional football generally and
suggests that club owners in both
leagues will be downright stupid
if they don't get together"
Thus far, the 25-year-old Ma
tional League has ignored the hust-
ling, All-America, but the fur is
bound to fly when such stars as
Glenn Dobbs, Bob Steuber, Bill
Daley, Angelo Bertelli, Paul Cover
nall Otto Graham, Gene Fekete,
Eddie Prokop and Creighton Miller
swap fighting clothes for grid togs.
The All-America has signed all
those players and many others like
