NFL decides on
more expansion
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) National Football League
club officials voted yesterday to begin a move to expand the
26-member league.
Pete Rozelle, league commissioner, said he would name a
four-man committee before the end of the week-long
meetings to begin looking into expansion.
"There was extended discussion of expansion," Rozelle
said following a lengthy afternoon executive session. "The
sentiment was for going ahead, for looking ahead for further
expansion."
He said if the league added four teams, it would give three
groups of five teams in each conference. The five teams
would play each other in the division on a home-and-home
basis, with five other games with common opponents.
Rozelle said this would give each team 13 games with
common opponents. •
Rozelle said location would be the No. I factor in adding
more teams, with the actual ownership of the club coming
last.
Rozelle said the club owners had seen what expansion had
done for the league and felt additional teams would bring
about even better championships with more competition.
Asked what cities might be considered for possible fran
chises, Rozelle listed Seattle, Portland, Phoenix, Mexico
City, Honolulu, Tampa, Orlando and Jacksonville, Memphis,
Hirmingham, the Carolinas area and Anaheim, Calif.
Seattle, Memphis and Phoenix all have representatives at
the week-long sessions to lobby for their cities.
"I think we will have it, the only thing is timing," Rozelle
added.
Expansion could be healthy for the league, Rozelle said,
but the key would be how the owners feel.
He said financial standings of the clubs, how the television
contract would be shared and other problems would be aired
first before a decision to add to the league would be made.

The women want this, the women demand that, finally
the men have a challenger in their fight against all these
pushy women. It seems that Bobby Riggs is tired of
hearing all the tennis chatter about equality of the sexes
and has decided to show the women just who does wear
the pants in professional tennis.
Riggs not only thinks women are inferior tennis
players, he's willing to prove it and back it up with his
own dough. Once the best player in the world, Riggs
issued a challenge to Billie Jean King in February and put
up $5OOO of his own cash.
"You have complained bitterly in recent months that
women's tennis is not getting its deserved share of public
attention and prize money," Riggs said in his telegram to
Billie Jean. "You insist that top women players provide a
brand of tennis comparable to men. I challenge you to
prove it on a tennis court.
"1 contend that you, the top woman player in the world,
not only cannot beat a top male player but that you can't
beat me, a 55-year-old who now plays in the veterans'
bracket."
Riggs, the 1939 Wimbledon champ, then put up his
check and offered to play the contest on cement Billie
Jean's favorite surface.
. Riggs also stated that if Mrs. King declined his offer he
would seek out a match with another top woman player.
So when Billy Jean nixed his challenge he took it
elsewhere.
The men get this, the men always got that, well finally
the women have a challenger in their fight against all
these chauvanistic men. It seems that Margaret Court is

tired of hearing ail cf Riggs' hot air about who are the
more exciting players in professional tennis.
Court accepted Riggs' challenge on March 7 and will try
to "de-pants" the former Wimbledon king April 28 in a
match at San Diego Country Estates. The three-set
contest will carry a $lO,OOO cash prize with Riggs putting
up half of it as promised. The rest is being thrown in by
the resort development.

Court commented that even if she loses, "I'm going to
have a good go at it." She probably will, but one begins to
wonder what, if anything, she is trying to prove.
While the match is indeed interesting, both players are
missing the point. Billy Jean is not only the women's best
player, she is also their hardest working member. When
she turned down Riggs offer her reasoning was sound.

thing is firmly planted in economic roots. Who brings the
people through the turnstiles?
The women contend that during the major tournaments
they attract just as many customers as the men but that
everytime payday comes around, they come up short,
The men counter by claiming they are the best players
and that if the women want their money, they should
agree to compete with them. That logic isn't totally un
sound, it's just a little warped.
Unfortunately for Riggs, the women seem destined to
win this argument, regardless of who wins his match. The
success of the Virginia Slims Circuit, which was designed
exclusively for women, has already proven the women's
point.
Meanwhile, back in San Diego, Riggs is getting ready
for his showdown with Court.
"At this late stage of my career, it will be most
satisfying to play the top woman tennis player," the 55-
year-old former United States professional champion
said.
Of course, the match won't determine if women can
play tennis on a level with men but the major television
networks already have•expressed interest in filming the
match.
Margret Court thinks she can win so the match in San
Diego at the end of the month should be interesting if
fruitless.
If nothing else, at least we'll finally find out who does
wear the pants in professional tennis.
