Sixth Commissioner
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) -
Pele Rozelle, 33-year-old general
manager of the Los Angeles Rams
is the sixth commissioner of the
National Football League.
Rozelle's selection as a com
promise candidate to succeed the
late Bert Bell came unexpectedly
Tuesday night and cleared the
decks for debate today on league
expansion.
The youthful native of South
Gate, Calif, was elected to the
$jO,000-a-year job by club owners
who had fought bitterly for seven
days through 23 ballots.
Rozelle, announcing he would
ket'p league headquarters in Phil
adelphia and eventually move to
New York City, was given
three-year contracf. He .said he
planned to keep the league staff in
tact, including Austin H. Gunsel,
acting commissioner since Bell's
death Oct. 11.
Minutes after Rozelle's elec
tion, the owners re-elected Gunsel
league treasurer, giving him a
$5,000-a-year salary boost to a re
ported $15.0(10 and a $10,000 bonus
tor his work as acting commis
sioner. Rozelle's first problem as com
missioner concerned the import
ant issue of expansion which will
be taken up today.
"Expansion is a must for the
National Football League," said
the new commissioner.
"The growth of the league under
Bert Bell has made professional
football the top spectator sport in
our country. There are many pop
ulation areas that should have pro
football."
Rozelle was chosen' as commis
sioner when the 12 owners were
unable to agree on Marshall Lea
hy of San Francisco, Gunsel, and
Don Kellett, Baltimore's general
manager.

NEW YORK (AP' The lalcst
asking price of $262,500 for a Con
tinental League group to buy out
the Houston Buffs of the Ameri
can Assn. was branded today as
"still too much" by the new
league's founder, Bill Shea.
Inlormed that directors of the
Buffs had cut their original de
mand of $4112.500 nearly in halt,
Shea commented:
"At least they're becoming
more reasonable. Although the
1 1. 'lire is still much too high for a
Triple-A franchise, it isn't nearly
as ridiculous as the half-million
dollars they demanded before.
"They paid $100,000 for the club
and that's what we'll give them
even though it isn't worth it. We
won't be blackjacked into paying
exorbitant indemnities."
Meanwhile, a new problem
arose in Continental plans for lo
cation of a franchise in Montreal,
should the Houston attempt fail.
"From what I've seen of Mon
treal in the last two years, I don't
consider this city a major league
town," said former major leaguer
Clay Bryant, manager of the Mon
treal Royals of the International
League.
"Ten years ago Montreal was
the best city in the minor
leagues." Bryant said. "But in
1938 we had a pennant winner, an
exciting team, yet wo were out
drawn by Toronto and Buffalo."
Another problem, Bryant said,
is the CL's search for enough ma
jor league players.
"There were fewer than six in
the entire International League
last season who could have played
in the majors," Bryant said. "We
didn't have any."
The odds for a perfect game in
bowling are about one million to
one.
; AHH-CASABAS Southern Oregon's Glen Peterson takes
a deep breath in the game between SOC and Oregon Tech
Tuesday night and gets a nose full of basketball for hit
; trouble. Peterson proved he likes leather by pulling in nine
important rebounds for the Ashlanders (without the use
of his nose ) but the Owls won 7 1 -64, anyway.
