Description: [Contract]: Texas Football League, A Division of the Continental League, Standard Player's Contract Title: [Contract]: Texas Football League, A Division of the Continental League, Standard Player's Contract Publication: [no place]: Texas Football League, [1969] Description: Unbound. Unused contract. Measuring approximately 8ΒΌ" x 18". Old horizontal fold, likely as issued, and a bit of very faint toning along the top else fine. The Texas Football League, which initially comprised six franchises from Texas and Oklahoma, was announced in May 1966. The TFL expanded to two four-team divisions in 1967. In January, 1969 it was announced that the Continental Football League was adding the entirety of the eight-team TFL to its league as a separate entity, composed of the East and West Texas Divisions, which also included the Mexico Golden Aztecs of Monterrey, Mexico (to date, only team from Mexico to play in a professional American football league). The league began losing teams in late 1969 and the Continental Football League was effectively ended in July 1970. The 19-point contract, unused and with no financial information printed, also features a 7-point "Club Rules and Regulations" mandating, among other things, no alcohol, no entering gambling houses or associating with "gamblers or other notorious characters," and the wearing of coats and neckties in hotel lobbies, while eating in public, and on all trains "(if they are not occupying private pullmans and diners)."An interesting and uncommon artifact from a short-lived Texas football league.
