To the claims by student-athletes that he supplied “no-show” summer jobs, Johnson’s response was equally succinct: “That’s just a flat-blank lie.” 1983 tax-withholding forms for Johnson’s Texas & Oklahoma Tree Farms Inc. list eight OU players and a team trainer as having received $7,059 in wages, the newspaper said. However, the newspaper said it talked to four star players not on the payroll lists who said they, too, were f iven jobs working for a man they new only as “Moose.” Two of the four said they were paid $350 to $450 a week while showing up for only a handful of workdays, the newspaper said. NCAA rules forbid student-athletes from receiving any benefits not available to other college students. No other college students were listed on the Johnson payrolls. “You’d go to Moose and all he’d ask was how many days you worked,” one said. “You’d say ‘four or five,’ and he’d just write out the check. He already knew how much you needed.” The other added, “Moose took care of us. He didn’t ask if you showed up. Hejust paid you.” Both players, who asked not to be identified, said their checks were written on Johnson’s personal ac count, not on the payroll account of Texas 8c Oklahoma Tree Farms or Twam Nursery, another Johnson venture. Johnson said he could not esti mate the number of OU players he employed. “Some summers it was one or two, and some summers it was hardly any,” he said. “It de pended on whatever I needed.” V ( 1 leai foo soil “ne cut at we< Moon, Lyles lead Oilers ^ ing in 33-18 win over Chargers t Brown takes criticism along with Heisman NEW YORK (AP) — Notre ment his name was announced. “Ev- Dame’s Tim Brown took the crit- erything was behind me and I didn’t icism personally.

Brown became the 53rd recipient of the Heisman Trophy, given to the nation’s top college football player, and then answered those who had suggested he didn’t deserve it after finishing up the regular season with two sub-par games. “I took it personally because I didn’t think I’m a bad person,” the wide receiver-kick returner said Sat urday. “Whenever I had an oppor tunity in a game, I think I made something happen.” Brown outdistanced Syracuse ?

The Notre Dame star finished first in the voting in five of the six secdons: Mid-Atlantic, South, South west, Midwest and Far West. In the Northeast, he was second to Mc Pherson. “I just wanted to cry because I was so relieved,” Brown said of the mo- Brown, who averaged 42.3 yards on the 22 touchdowns he scored in his collegiate career, is the second Heisman Trophy winner to come from Dallas Woodrow Wilson High School. Davey O’Brien, who played quarterback for Texas Chrisuan, won the award in 1938. McPherson has led Syracuse to an undefeated regular season and a berth in the Sugar Bowl against Au burn on Jan. 1. He is a nadve of the New York metrop>olitan area and lo cal newspapers questioned whether Brown should te named over the quarterback. “I thought it was real close after reading all the articles and hearing the radio,” Brown said of the ballot ing. “I guess all the votes were in (be fore his late-season slump)”. Brown dropped three passes in Notre Dame’s loss to Miami in its regular-season finale. He also gained just 14 yards on two punt re turns and two yards on his lone run from scrimmage.
