Black athletes air gripes;
Oklahoma ousts smrnters

By The Associated Press
KALAMAZOO - Negro athletes
at Western Michigan University
presented a request to school of-
ficials yesterday for "more equit-,
able treatment." A spokesman for
the Negroes said the request was
"not to be considered as any forn
of threat."
Tom Randolph, a sprinter on
the WMU. track team and spokes-
man for the group, said, "We have
no plans for any boycotts by black
athletes. Further action awaits a
reply to a letter we gave to school
authorities today."
In the letter delivered to WMU
President Dr. James W. Miller
and Athletic Director Joseph T.
Hoy, the Negroes asked for chan-
ges in the school's coaching setup,
scholarships, counseling and util-
ization of personnel.

rule

in interleague play

ATLANTA, Ga. (')-An experi-
mental change in extra point
scoring which requires teams to
run or pass on conversion attempts
will be tried in 23 exhibition games
between American and National
Football League teams this sum-
Owners of the AFL and NFL
teams voted unanimously yester-
day to make the test but they de-
cided to retain the old extra point
rules in games matching teams of
of the same league.
Under the decision NFL teams
playing each other in exhibition
games can kick' or run or throw
for one point. Teams in the AFL
will be able to kick for one point
or run or pass for two.
The old rules also will apply
during all 'regular season games

unless, further action is taken by
the owners.
The experiment is being tried
to see if it would produce more
excitement because extra point
kicks have become almost auto-
matic in both the NFL and AFL.'
No conversion kicks will be al-
lowed in interleague exhibition
games.
The extra point experiment pro-
duced the only news at the morn-
ing session of the spring meeting
which football officials said will
now stretch on into today.'
wners of the NFL teams con-
tinued to discuss strategy on ways
to counter claims by players that
they, deserve a bigger cut of the'
financial, payoff.
Mtill up' for° action by ,AFL own-
*ers is a proposal to eliminate the
use of names on player jerseys.

NORMAN, Okla.-Four Negroes.
three of them members of the
varsity track team, were suspend-
ed yesterday for the remainder of
the season by Jim Martin, Uni-
versity of Oklahoma track coach.
Martin said the action was
taken because of the "unfavorable
attitude and behaviors of the four
and had nothing to do with race.
The varsity men are sprinters
Wayne and Glen Long and Robert
Brown, all juniors' and three-
fourths of OU's 440-yard relay
team which won at the Kansas
and Drake relays.
They will be missing at the Big

squad did at the state federation
meet here Saturday.
"And their flippant behavior
toward their competitors in this
meet was witnessed by everybody
there," Martin said. "They made
no attempt whatsoever to show
unity or cooperation toward me
or the rest of the team with their
attitude and the manner in which
they conducted themselves."
He said the four also missed all
of the Sooner's workouts the past
eight days. Martin said Brown in-
formed him it was a boycott. Mar-
tin said he would talk later with
the athletes about next year if
they are interested.
Recently, some 20 Negro athletes
lodged a series of protests with
Athletic Director Gomer Jonea
who said they had some justifi-
cation with two oftheir 27 griev-
ances. Martin said the athletes
promised not to take part in any
boycott.
