Included in the charges were allegations that Meyer himself, on four occasions, “led the prospect reasonably to understand that he would be able to sell his com plimentary season football tickets for an amount substantially in ex cess of their face vaule. ” Meyer and SMU president Dr. L. Donald Shields said such charges were false. “The university respectfully disagrees with the committee’s conclusions which relate to our head football coach,” said Shields. SMU, however, will forbid an unnamed assistant coach from re cruiting during the two-year prob ation and will also disassociate it self with two so-called “athletic in terests, who were responsible for some of the allegations. SMU figures to lose about $160,000 because of the sanctions — money that would come to the school as a result of other South west Conference members appearing on television or in bowl games. But SMU will not have to surrender all of the money that would ordinarily come to it from its fellow conference-members TV appearances. By conference bylaws, the Mustangs will have to forfeit only 25 percent of the money. “Were upset, were shaken, but were certainly not des troyed,” said Meyer, 40, who will be in his sixth season as SMU’s head coach. “My concern is for the football team, particularly our seniors who had hopes of going to a bowl game this year. I’ve talked to our seniors. They are hurt and they are taken aback. “But in every case they showed set-jawed determination that we will carry on and have a good season.” United Press International NEW YORK — Unless base ball’s two factions can reach agree ment on a new compensation issue over the bargaining table today, there will be a strike by the play ers after tonight’s games. A U.S. district court judge, rul ing that there was “no cause to believe that an unfair labor prac tice has been committed, Wednesday denied the National Labor Relations Board’s request for an injunction against the clu- bowners that would have set aside for a year the issue of free-agent compensation. The NLRB, acting on the play ers’ charges of unfair labor prac tices, had sought the injunction in an effort to delay the owners’ im plementation of their compensa tion proposal and the strike dead line. The delay would have allowed time for an administrative law judge to hear the complaint while the baseball season con tinued uninterrupted. The com plaint is to be heard next Monday. However, barring a higher court’s stay of Worker’s decision or a last-minute settlement at to day’s negotiating session, the players plan to walk out before Friday’s games. Under an earlier agreement be tween the two sides in the 18- month-old labor dispute, the Play ers Association cannot strike for 24 hours after Judge Henry F. Wor ker’s ruling. But if they were to strike, they would have to do so no later than 48 hours after the judge s decision. Federal mediator Ken Moffett asked representatives of players and owners to resume negotia tions today at 10a.m. EDTinalast effort to reach a settlement that would forestall a walkout by the players.

Lubbers said that he would also decide whether to seek a stay of Judge Worker’s ruling pending resolution of the possible appeal. If a strike occurs, Donald Fehr, the players’ general counsel, be lieves it could be a long one. “Given the postures of the par ties, the seeds of a very long con frontation are in the air,” Fehr said. In handing down his decision, Werker did not go along with the NLRB’s contention that the own ers were bargaining in bad faith. Werker said that the compensa tion issue should be settled at the bargaining table. In his ruling, Werker called the players’ attempt to obtain access to the clubowners’ books “a bar gaining tactic” to prevent im plementation of the compensation clause. The clubs claim that free agency is destroying them financially, and the NLRB had sought to have the clubs open their financial registers to the Players Association to prove their hardship. save energy © a venj bright idea Ray Grebey, the owners’ chief negotiator, praised Werker s rul ing and called for further negotia tions to settle the compensation issue. “It was major-league baseball’s position from the start that the ac tion of the Players Association alleging an unfair labor practice and a seeking of an injunction by the NLRB was a diversion from the collective bargaining where the issue must be settled,” Grebey said. “A controversy over compensa tion for free agents in the reentry draft must be settled by good faith efforts in collective bargaining.” Savings of 20% thru Saturday (off our already low prices) OUR ENTIRE STOCK OF SHOES IS REDUCED Culpepper Plaza 693-6355 We Gots What Ya Likes In The Way Of Bikes!
