EVANSTON, Ill. (M-The Col-
lege All-Stars voted yesterday
to honor the National Football
L e a gu e Players' Association
picket line and stated "No nego-
tiations, no practice; no con-
tract, no game."
The announcement was made
by Dave Casper, a former Notre
Dame star, who said "we are
issuing one statement-we the
All-Stars, in light of a difficult
situation, will honor the picket
lines. We have signed an agree-
ment to that effect."
It took the All-Stars some 40
minutes to reach their decision
after h e a t e d arguments In
which shouting could be heard
from behind the closed doors.
"The players are all college
graduates," NFL players asso-
ciation chief Ed Garvey re-
sponded in the post-meeting
news conference. "They under-
stand the issres of being free or
not being free.
"At one point, you have to
choose. We agree they have
moral obligations, but if the All-
Stars leave the camp, there is
a better chance of a quicker
strike settlement. We answered
their questions to make our po-
sition as clear as possible. The
rest is im to them."
After his announcement, Cas-
per, a tight end drafted by the
Oakland Raiders. said the Stars
"are going to stay arousd. We
don't want to be shipped out
and then haveto come back.
Instead of people putting pres-
sure on us, we decided to put
pressure on them. We are not
taking sides. We are in the
middle of the road. We'd like
to play the game, hut not under
th-se conditions."
Dave Latham of the Cincin-
nati Bengals, drafted from Syra-
cuse. summed tin the All-Stars'
dismay when he exclaImed:
"You listen to one side, and
they osych you sn and then
von listen to the other side and
they psych you up. We're just
in the middle."
The All-Stars' de-ision was a
victory for the strkng players'
expressed determination to pre-
vent any ore-season NFL ,nmes
from being played until their
strike is settled and a new con-
tract signed.
The strike was called July 1
when 63 union demands re-
mained unresolved in negotia-
tions,'hutdit centers around the
players' demands for freedom,
sich as an end to the reserve
c'l'se. the right to veto trades,
the right to negotiate with anv
team a player wishes, and a
curbing of a coach's power to
impose disciplinary measures
such as curfews and fines.
