Plan 1960 Play Tidwell, who is vacationing here, stressed that he could "not speak for the league or as representative of the league." .

Tidwell, 34-year-old Birm ingham, Ala., estate counselor who starred at quarterback for Auburn, said that the league as first discussed had been called the "Mid-America Professional Football league "But it has mushroomed be yond that how and is truly national in scope," he said.
