Controls on Pro Football
Needed, Rep. Miller Says

too much Government regulation
would destroy the sport. He
added that the entire sport
would be destroyed eventually
unless club owners begin to re-
consider some of their recent
positions. actions and express
SionS.
Seeks Owners Statement
Miller said he didn't believe
there is anything dishonest or
criminal in the present opera
ton of the National Football
League, but he thinks that the
league owners should be made
to state for the record their posi-
tons on such matters as:
/. The present draft system
which forecloses and prohibits
a prospective professional foot
ball player from any selectivity
or bargaining rights upon his
entry into professional football;
2. The recognition by the fran
chise owners of a players asso-
citation and their traditional
American right to join together
for the advancement of their
legitimate vested interest and
mutual benefits;
3. The alleged practice of
franchise owners conspiring to-
gether to freeze out of profess
sional football a player whose
option has expired and who finds
himself for the first time tech
nically or theoretically able to
bargain for his services;
Wage Loss From Injuries
4. The right of the players to
an ironclad yearly contract with
a guaranteed minimum yearly
salary and protection from wage
losses due to injury incurred in
the course of employment:
5. The legitimate right of play
ers to receive compensation by
way of salary and or subsistence
for training periods and exhibit
ton games;
6. The question Of increasing
the number of teams in the
league so as to extend the pleas
ures and benefits of the sport
to as many American people as
possible commensurate with
sound economic practices, proper
cheduling and other problems.
