College Skaggs Center Schramm: regulars won’t get paid this wee IRVING (AP) — Dallas Cowboys veterans, ordered back to work by a union that hasn’t yet wrested a new contract agreement, can’t play against Washington Monday and won’t be paid this week, team Presi dent Tex Schramm said Thursday. The players thexi walked back out of the National Football League club’s Valley Ranch headquarters af ter a tense team meeting and planned practice sessions on their own until they begin practice with the rest of the squad Tuesday. Schramm offered to pay them $108 per day if the workouts are su pervised at Southern Methodist and some of the players scheduled a Fri day morning workout at the campus. Coach Tom Landry told the play ers to get ready to play Philadelphia Sunday week and said he expected a “training camp atmosphere” when the veterans report for work on Monday. Landry said. “They are not happy, but it doesn’t mean they can’t be re ady to play football.” Schramm, a member of the Man agement Council’s executive com mittee, said the union waited too long to get players into this week end’s games. “They’re too late. The deadline was Wednesday,” Schramm said. “We’ve made that clear to them all along.” Neither Doug Cosbie or Jim Jeffcoat, the Cowboys’ two NFL Players Association representatives, would comment on the strike situa tion after the afternoon meeting with management. “It was a tense meeting — every body was mad. Tom (Landry) was excited we were back,” linebacker Garth Jax said after the 24-day strike disintegrated. “I told them to come on in Mon day and work out, we’ll have their lockers ready for them then,” “We lost the Fight, but that’s the way it goes,” linebacker Jeff Rohrer added. Schramm said there was mass con fusion among the Cowboys as well as team owners over what was going on with the strike. “Herschel (Walker) called me and ask me what happened,” he said. “I told him the players were coming back and he replied ‘They did?’ Then he said ‘Oh, I guess 1 had l>et- ter get ahold of somebody.’ He said the NFL Management Council “never heard from the union. There was confusion all over the league.” The team president said the own ers didn't consider the players’ re turn a victory. “Nobody wins in a strike and ev erybody loses. It's an unfortunate circumstance,” said Schramm, who added there would be a two-week period in which the replacement players would work out with the re turning veterans. “The roster will be expanded con siderably,” he said. “We’re right hack where we were when the agreement expired. The union still has the right to strike again.” Rohrer said of the strike that “I hope the scabs enjoyed it. The man- jement played hardballand; warned t They busted us up.” “It looks like manager what it wanted,” linebade: DeOssie agi d. "We owes tlidaniy.

NEW YORK (AP) — Questions and answers about the end of the NFL strike: Q: Are all the regular players back with their teams now? A: No. Most of them left camp shortly after reporting when they were told they were too late to play and get paid this week. Q: Does that mean they’re still on strike, after all? A: No. The union has called off the strike, freeing players to go back. They can practice this week, or they can wait and report next week when they will be paid. Q: So who will play this weekend, the strikers, the regulars or nobody? A: The replacements, plus regu lars who reported by 1 p.m. local time Wednesday. Q: What happens to the games that were canceled because of the strike? Will they be made up? A: The league has said all along that the games missed on the third week of the season will not be made up. That could be changed in a back- to-work agreement, but it’s unlikely. That would mean a 15-game season. Q: Will the results of the replace ment games count? A: The league says yes, that it would create ill will not to count them since the games were sold on good faith to both fans and tele vision. Q: Will the strikers who went back Thursday get paid? A: Not regular game checks. If they practice, they will be paid per diem of $750 a week for veterans, $500 for rookies, plus $38 a day meal money. Q: What Finally broke the strike? A: A combination of lack of pro gress at the bargaining table and restlessness among the players, who lost an average of $15,000 per week, more than twice as much as they lost during the 57-day strike in 1982. There also appeared to be a lack of enthusiasm among most players for the key issue — free agency. Q: What will happen to replace ment players who coaches want to keep on tbeir teams? A: That’s unclear. Most likely, ros ters will be expanded from 45 to 49 players and it’s possible that a re serve list will be maintained to keep players who were impressive in strike games. Q: Who lost money in the strike? A: The players. Buffalo quar terback Jim Kelly lost the most, more than $200,000 for the first three weeks he missed. The average player who stayed out lost $45,000 and those receiving the minimum salary of $50,000 lost about $ 10,000. Q: Did anyone make money? A: The replacement players, of course, and many teams may have made money because of reduced payrolls, which dropped from an av erage of almost $900,000 per team each week to about $200,000. The owners lost a still undetermined amount from ticket refunds. They will also probably have to repay the networks a portion of tk iff mately $200 million the' '• ready received in telew* : | men ts because of sf 1 defections.
