Today's Sport Parade By Jack Cuddy (Reg. C. S Pat. Off) 0 New York. Aug. 26 li’P) I The 1946 professional football sea I son which opens tomorrow night, I may be the most important in progrid history, for this campaign has been designated by the all-Ameri-ca football conference as the "convincer." Commissioner Jonas H Ingram and the owners of his eight ACC clubs are determined that this season's brand of play and site of attendance shall convince the rival national football league of two facts: tit That the comparatively new AAC is a permanent organization here to stay, and (2) that it's willy: to continue Hie "hot war" Icetween the two circuits, when It would tie much more profitalde for both toj join hands and to. co-operate as the major baseball leagues have been doing since 1903. Since previous overtures from In i gram were rejected by commission er Bert Bell and his established national leaguers, the AAC has vowed to "say it with figures" not words this season. In 1947. the A AC's second season' of play, the clubs finished as follows: western division Cleveland. San Francisco, lais Angeles. Chicago Eastern division — NewYork. Buffalo. Brooklyn, Baltimore. | For the league championship, i the Cleveland Browns defeated the New York Yankees. During the off-season three clubs were reorganized to Insure greater financial stability the Brooklyn Dodgers and Baltimore Colts in the east, and the Chicago Rockets in the west. Moreover. apparently weaker clubs were strengthened by many deals that yielded them seasoned players or rights to standout rookies. Such deals were encouraged tty Ingram s office in order to give the circuit a better balance. Hopes of the AAC will be riding with reorganized or bolstered cluba during the cani|Hiign. For that reason. everyone connected with the pro game will watch closely the results and attendances at the two opening games tomorrow night the UIS Angeles Dons at Chicago, and the New York Yankees at Brooklyn.
