Ralph Neely Case Goes To Court
NFL tackle Ralph Neely has sued to dissolve an agreement with Bud Adams owner of the Houston Oilers. A U S appellate court ruled Neely must play for the Oilers of the AFL though he spent last season with the Dallas Cowboys. The case centers on a Dec 1, 1964 memo in which Ada Oil Co would buy a service station for Neely in Harris County and Neely signed a pro contract with the Oilers. The district court voided the contract last June, but a Denver circuit court upheld the Oilers appeal.
