16th NFL City May Be Chosen
From Formal Hall
WASHINGTON (UPI) —Like
the "smoke-filled room’’ that
named a presidential candidate
45 years ago, selection of the
16th city to enter the National
Football League may be
decided away from the formal
meeting hall.
NFL expansion plans were
the center of conversation at
the league meeting which
opened here Monday and lasts
through Thursday. And many of
the discussions were being
conducted in hotel rooms,
where club owners debated the
Doctors Fear
Dressen Had
Heart Attack
DETROIT (UPI) —For the
second time in two years, the
Detroit Tigers are playing
without their 67-year-old skip
per Charlie Dressen.
Dressen was admitted to a
Detroit hospital Monday after
noon after complaining of arm
and chest pains. Doctors feared
that the veteran manager may
have suffered his second heart
attack In just over 14 months.
So for the second time since
coming to Detroit with Dressen
in 1963, Coach Bob Swift found
himself managing a pennant
contending baseball team. He
learned of Dressen’s illness
Monday only an hour and one
half before the Tigers were to
take the field agalst the St.
Louis Cardinals for an exhibi
tion game.
Last year, Dressen was
stricken while the Tigers were
in spring training in Florida.
On March 8 he flew to his
home in Los Angeles and was
sidelined until May 31. He
returned to guide the club to a
fourth-place finish and has not
suffered from further attacks.
A hospital spokesman said it
could be “several days” before
it could be determined whether
Dressen actually had any heart
damage in this attack.
