...conference, if it ever convenes, could collapse in days or continue for years. Brzezinski concedes: "A Geneva conference will not be easy, far from it.

Then Phil Woosnam took charge as league commissioner and rebuilt the sport. The N.A.S.L. now consists of 18 teams in cities from Vancouver to Tampa, and Woosnam expects to expand to 24 by next season. Says he: "It's the best investment in sports. Right now, all you need is $250,000 cash and the ability to cope with some initial losses." He seems to be right; half a dozen owners...
