Bowl Coaches Fight Draft Plan Before Congress
Washington AP reports Bud Wilkinson Duffy Daugherty and Powden Wyatt urged Congress to oppose a pro football player draft. They argued the system unfairly restricts players and warned against exemptions while supporting better pre season pay and free agency. The discussion contrasted with NFL objections that a draft is needed to equalize teams. The article notes a 1927 Yankees record against the Browns.
