The league has a Rule prohibiting a player from playing both College and professional games in the same season. Trope has said he will to la ourt to Force the nil to conduct a supplemental draft for Davis if it refuses to Grant him one. it All boils Down to is that there s this red Grange Rule Hal happens to Sil on the books that says you can t play College and pros inc same year trope said Al an Impromptu news conference after he and Davis had met with Rozelle league counsel Jay Moyer and executive director Don Weiss. We argued Chat the Rule is not being violated in Prin " " Ethod to Ciple trope said.

That was an incorrect characterization Browne said. Commissioner Rozelle did nol say in. There would be no Point having the meeting if his mind was already made up which is what this trope said he and Davis were not Given an answer us to whal i hair ultimate decision will be. I happen to believe that there will be a supplemental draft one Way or the other. Obviously if we re not granted this we will definitely go to court. The longer we Wail around and allow the nil to spend time making this determination we could Force ourselves into making in a moot Point if we Don t act on it rather rapidly. He did t give us a timetable bul he did say he would act . That Means ii s got to be in my opinion within the next 48 hours. We did t impose a deadline on the nil. They re going to operate on their timetable. We re going to operate on ours. If their decision comes before our timetable that s great. If it does to we might file an action and they might make their decision four or five Days after we do it. That would make the suit moot but we have to Start the Browne repealed within the next few Days. Forty eight hours fits into
