Senate considers merger of NFL and AFL in antitrust plan
The Senate Judiciary Committee approved a bill to legalize the NFL AFL merger, shielding steps already taken from antitrust action though not granting full immunity. The merged league would start with 24 teams and grow to 28, with a championship game, a single player draft, and interleague preseason play planned. Representative Emanuel Celler blocked House action but urged proceeding with merger.
