The one thing neither can do,
nor admittedly desires to do, is to
restrain open competitor for
players who are free agents

agreement in this field would
run afoul In the United States
Iof the Sherman Antitrust Law.
AS a result, whine many mutual
problems. including the all-in-
Iportant no raiding pact. would
be ironed out amicably. the war
|of dollars would continue almost
|unahated. The highest bidder
still would be the one to get the
star college player.
There seems to be one stumb-
ling block in the way of a final
agreement. Both Bell and Cooper
told the press yesterday that
some adjustments would have to
Ito made on players each league
claims the other obtained by
raiding. The Canadians say the
NIL has Is such players and
the NFL charges the Canadians
with holding As.
Cooper said he would present
the plan at a meeting of Cana
dian Football League executives
in Toronto March l. He said
that at that time he hoped to get
the permission of his group to
|hnalize the program formulated
here.
I'VE are in accord with Bells
thinking and a number Of his
suggestions follow our own ideas
4 think and hope we can reach a
sound and workable agreement, "
he said.
