AFL, NFL Plan To Merge
UAC Presents Jazz in
the Sun,
By The Associated Press
NEW YORK -- The National,
Football League and American
Football League announced plans
yesterday for a merger into a
giant circuit of 26 teams in 25
cities under a single commissioner.
The commissioner will be Pete
Rozelle of the NFL who, accord-
ing to the joint announcement,
will administer all inter-league
business under a structure similar
to major league baseball.
The actual merger will not take
place until 1970 after existing con-
tracts expire.
Championship Game
In addition to the playing the
world championship game in Jan-
uary 1967, pre-season games by
the member clubs of the current
NFL and AFL will be instituted inI
the summer of 1967.f
There can be no regular sea-
son competition between clubs of!
the two leagues until after the
close of the 1969 season, however,
because of individual league con-
tract commitments. It is present-
ly planned to continue two-net-
work coverage of all professional
football games both before and
after 1970.
This was triggered when Pete Gogolak's contract with the New

Under the plan, the AFL clubs
must pay the NFL a total of $18
million principal and interest of
a 20-year period.
The $18 million is an indemnity.
In addition, the NFL will re-
ceive the franchise payment re-

the two new franchises. New Or-
leans, Seattle, Cincinnati and An-
aheim, Calif., frequently have been
mentioned as sites for new fran-
chises.
End of War
The abrupt formal announce-!
ment brought to an end a bitterk
money war that had raged be-
tween the established NFL, with
roots going back to the 1920's,
and the AFL since the younger
circuit went into business in 1960.
Bonuses reached as high as
$450,000 for outstanding college
athletes and more recently there
was a threat of raiding between
the two leagues.

chose to remain with the Wolver- '
ines this past year and still has
one more season of eligibility left.
Schryer Chosen
Another drafted Michigan play-
er who will be a senior next year
is Captain-elect Dick Schryer.
Schryer held down the center field
position this year and has batted
.331 and 316 the past two years
Schryer was picked by the
Dodgers for their Spokane farm
team.
Radakovic, who has played only'
one year of college ball, is a
right-handed pitcher. In the opin-
ion of the pro scouts, Radakovic
has a great arm but needs more
control. Radakovic was drafted by
the Athletics.
