NFL Teams Meet Tomorrow

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 26 (R.
The National Football League
holds its earliest player draft
In history Monday in an effort
to meet Canadian competition
for Americas top talent.
Bert Bell, league commissioner.
says owners, general managers
and coaches Of the ~ league
franchises will meet In o down
town hotel here for the first
three rounds of the annual
draft.
Usually, the teams participate
in 30 rounds, Involving 800 play
ers and the selections are made
at the annual winter meeting
In january. However, In the
last few years. the Canadian
league. which ends its season
early in November, has made
wholesale irroads on talent the
NIL hadn't drafted yet.
Bell and the NIL owners got
together and decided something
would have to be done to meet
the competing Canadians at
least on even terms. It was de-
cided to hold the first three
rounds OF the draft early. The
final N rounds will be held at
the regular meeting scheduled
for Los Angeles in January.

The present bonus tag is ap-
piled to a free agent who re-
ceives more than 1000 in his
first year, He is required to
stay In the majors for two years
and cannot be sent to minors
without being subject to draft.
Heavy Outlays Risky
''If this rule is adopted" Paul
said, "all clubs. major and
minor, would hesitate about CIV
ing any sizable amount Of money
to any player to sign as q first
year player because they would
run the risk of losing their in
vestment in him in hurry"
A counter proposal submitted
by the Charleston Club of the
American Association would
eliminate the bonus rule al
together. It would permit clubs
TO bid as high as they wish for
players and give them the same
treatment as any other player.
The proposal dealing with ra-
dio and teleyision would limit the
broadcasting or televising Of
games by major or minor
league club from a station To-
Gated outside Of its home terri
