The outspoken Redskins president. leading figure in the NFL for 28 year*, said that if the other owner* defy him and go through with their expressed plan* at there meeting her* starting Jan 20. it would: —Subject the NFL to federal charges that it is a monopoly. —Upeet the NFL's present balanced schedule and it* lucrative television program. • —Seriously interfere with the colleges which are the “incubators of professional talent." "The only reason for expansion I've heard from other owners is that we could destroy the new league," insisted the voluble Marshall. "If that Is the only reason, then we are guilty of monopolistic practices. No one can give me an intelligent reason for adding a couple of new franchises. In Chicago, owner George Halas of the Chicago Bears disagreed with Marshall that expansion would lay open the NFL to antitrust action. "Our intent.” he said, "was to expand when competition among our clubs began to equalize itself on an extremely high level and we have reached the plateau.
