Talent Raid Question
Up 10 Canadian Clubs
Now, NIL Head Says

NEW YORK. Mar. 20 P.-
Commissioner Bert Bell Of the
National Football League has
dropkicked the political foot
ball back into the laps Of the
Canadian League leaders over
the question of talent raids
within American borders.
"It'S up to the Canadian clubs
now" Bell said. They'll have to
control their own situation and
their own clubs"
With this statement. Bell was
scrapping peace plans with the
Northern competitors and seemed
to be saying: Two can play this
game as we'll as one"
Bidding for choice football
talent is not new to the NIL.
1t survived a comparable battle
with the defunct All-America
Conference from 1946-49.
Agree on squeeze Play"
In a nine-hour executive ses-
sion yesterday, the II pro clubs
agreed to go to work on Bells
new "squeeze-play" plan for sep
arate truces with compatible
Canadian clubs.
Bell outlined the situation with
the explanation:
They tthe Canadians have
no constitution, no central Office
and nobody who has the author
ity to make an agreement.
They'll have to control their
situation and their own clubs.
It's up to the Canadian mem
bers now"
Bell feels that separate, work
able agreements will pressure the
needless raiders into line as they
become outnumbered in their
own territory. Then the COM
missioner can negotiate a last
ing armistice. Bell has this
power.
II still have the authority to
make an agreement if they're
willing to be fair. to respect our
contracts and options and to re-
spect the college eligibility rules
by not signing players before the
completion Of their fourth year
of eligibility"
Bell Clears Edmonton
Edmonton never has taken
one of our players and it won
the championship last year." said
Bell.
Bell pointed out that Wash
ington and Calgary of Canada's
Western Interproyincial Football
Unicn have a private peace
agreement.
The meeting yesterday was
called when the Detroit Lions
complained. The Lions signed
Gordon Malloy, University of
Miami halfback, but Bell refused
to recognize the contract. NAL
10y previously signed with the
Montreal Alouettes.
Recent raids by Toronto and
Ottawa, Big Four Canadian out
fits, brought Bells temper to a
head and he gave Detroit the
go-ahead where Malloy was con-
cerned. Bell promised further
liberal contract rulings unless
Canada comes around.
Bell had sought peace with
the Canadian League at the close
of last season. He met with the
Canadian powers, but discovered
there was no central body to
promise or enforce a peace.
