Bell Relates Story
Of National league
En Gridiron History
By BERT BELL
- Commissioper, NFL
Written for the United Press
Philadelphia IP The de
velopment of the National Foot
ball League, now in vjts 38th
year, is one of the most remark
able sports stories of the past
half century, in my opinion.
Thirteen teams were , repre
sented in Canton, Ohio, in Sep
tember,' 1920, when the Ameri
Football Association was formed
with Jim Thorpe as president.
In June, 1922 George Halas, one
of the pioneers of professional
football, made a motion that the
name of the league be changed
to the National Football League
and it was unanimously adopted.
In 1926 there were 22 teams in
the league, the largest number
ever. The least number of teams
to play in a season was eight in
1932. Since 1951 the number of
teams in the league.has remained
constant at 12.
Business in the league has not
always been as good as it is .to
day. Over the years 42 clubs
have gone out of business, an in
dication that the road to the top
has not been strewn with roses.
To bring about the change
that has made the National Foot
ball League successful, methods
were devised which stimulated
competition by enabling the less
successful clubs to engage and
retain the services of the better
college players.
Selective Draft Installed
In 1934, when I was the own
er of the Philadelphia Eagles, I
proposed to the league that they
adopt -a' selective draft. This was

Martel of Grants Pass made it
to first on a "third baseman s
error. He-.stolp second, and was
safe at third on a fielder's choice

too late.
Martel came home on an out
field fly when the throw to the
plate got away from the catcher.
A swriTii) run scored on another
third base error. Jerry Patter
son drove in the final score witn
a double for Grants Pass.
The' loss gave Medford a four
win, two loss record for the sea

five wins and a single defeat.

Testimony Defends
Army Officers' Club
Washington HP The Air
Force has unveiled a new secret
weapon of sorts: The officer's
club.
Brig. Gen. William E. Rentz,
Air Force installations deputy di
rector, told a House appropria
tions subcommittee in testimony
released Monday that the offi
cer's club helped build "a spirit
of belonging to an organization."
Moreover, he disclosed how the
clubs contribute to national de
fense: "If we did not have an officer's
open mess on the base, at the
close of work the officers would
be dispersed all througout the
neighborhood; they would be
hard to locate if anything of an
emergency nature happened."

BASHFUL BEAUTIES
Whitstable, England (ff)
Fifty of the 62 girls competing
in a beauty contest here backed
out at the last minute Monday.
They said they were too shy to
go out on the stage in front of
all those people and be judged. -
adopted and ih 1936 the first se
lection was made. .. ;
The annual selection operates 'j
to benefit the lower teams in the;
standings at the end of the sea
son preceding the selection. The'
team that finished last in the!;
standings draws first and on up;
to the team that wins the cham-i
pionship playoff game of the two
conferences, which draws last.
Thus each year the teams are
brought to a more equal footing
insofar as player personnel is
concerned. This makes for . bet-'
ter games, keener competition
among the teams, greater specta
tor interest and enthusiasm and
in the best interest of the public
and the player.
That the annual selection has
borne fruit is evidenced by the
paid attendance figures during
the years it has been in opera
tion. In 1936 the total paid at
tendance for the .season was
816,007. Last year the attendance
rose to 2,551,263. In the last five
years the attendance record has
been broken each year.
This, of course, has meant
greater income to the player,
which over the last 11 years has
increased on the average ap
proximately 300 per cent. When
it is considered that a player can ,
devote approximately seven
months to a full-time job when
not engaged in playing football
and three months part-time when
he is playing his yearly financial
return is excellent.
Every year I consider it part
of my responsibility to tell all
players that the securing of a
job. is of first importance and'
that in conjunction with his play
ing football he should make
every effort to establish himself
in a business or professional ca
reer. Home Club City
To this end, each individual
club assists those players who are
either temporarily or permanent
ly relocating their homes, and
helps them become established
in a gainful occupation in the
city where they are to play. Over
30 per cent of the players in the
National Football League are
working in the city in which
their home club is located.
I tell the players that profes
sional football is not a business
for them, that it is a means of
establishing themselves in a bus
iness or profession that thpy can
carry on with the remainder of
their lives. A survey of the 396
players in the National Football
League shows that the average
term of service was less than
three and one-half years, an in
dication that playing profession
al football is not a career in itself.
The game as played in the Na
tional Football League today is
vastly superior to that of 15 or
20 years ago. We play a much
more open game with brilliant
quarterbacks who .can throw
passes with the accuracy of
sharpshooters and great receiv
ers who can catch those passes.
Our ball-carrying backs, our
linemen on both offense and de
fense are the nation's best.
Increasing attendance figures,
season after season, is convinc
ing proof that the style of foot
ball played in the National Foot
ball League appeals to the pub
lic. In addition millions of fans
in sections of the country re
mote from league cities enjoy
this weekly spectacle on their
television sets.
This should be another great
year and if we get the breaks in
the weather and the races are
close in both conferences we
should again break the record
for attendance.
