The Michigan Daily-Friday, June 16, 1978-Page 19 PLAYER 'SALARIES' ALLEGED: Violations reported at Okla. State TULSA, Okla. (AP)-An unidentified former football player at Oklahoma State University was quoted yesterday as saying that players were given cash payments during the 1976 season. The Tulsa Tribune quoted the player. as saying payments ranged from $50 to $300 each, although not all players were paid. Other payments were telegraphed to families of the players, the story said. THE STORY by Tribune Sports Editor Bob Hartzell said the player asked not to be identified. "Nearly every player on the 1976 team drew a monthly salary, ranging from $50 to $100. Nearly every starter made at least $100," the paper quoted the player. The former athlete was quoted as saying that the money was picked up at a realty office owned by Bill Aufleger, one of 13 Oklahoma State boosters ban- ned from recruiting by the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The school is currently on two-year probation. "THE EX-PLAYER said that two coaches went by the office the day before the 1976 football game against Kansas State, picked up $700, went by a Western Union office and wired the money to a player's mother," the story said. "Each month a payday would be held in the office of one of the OSU coaches, complete with a payroll list and a 'tall stack of bills.' "The players would be summoned to the office and given their paychecks each month in the form of cash," the ex- player was quoted. "PAYMENTS DEPENDED on how sports of the DAILY By The Associated Press Teams juggle before deadline The Major League Baseball trading deadline passed by quietly last night at midnight and none of the 26 clubs swung any last-minute, block- buster deals. A few minor trades, however, were made including six teams and six teams, plus a player or two to be named later. The Oakland A's swapped left-handed outfielder Gary Thomasson to the New York Yankees for outfielders Del Alston and Mi ,y Klutts. The acquisition of Thomasson put the Yankees ne player over the 25- man limit, but they did not have to cut anyone immediately since outfielder Jay Johnstone, acquired Wednesday in a trade with Philadelphia, had not reported for Thursday night's game with Seattle. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Indians traded Mike Vail to the Chicago Cubs for Joe Wallis in an exchange of reserve outfielders Thursday. Both 26-year-old players had to pass waivers in their respective leagues before the deal could be completed since inter-league trades are not permit- ted at this time. Vail is hitting .235 with two runs batted in with just 34 at bats, while Wallis is hitting .369 with one homer and six RBI in 55 times at bat. Finally, the San Francisco Giants, in their quest for bench strength, Thursday acquired light-hitting infielder Roger Metzger from the Houston Astros for either a player to be named later or cash. Metzger, 30, was Houston's regular shortstop for six years before becoming a part-time player the last two seasons. He entered the 1978 season with a lifetime .223 batting average and is batting .220 this season. * * * * NBA adds third ref CORONADO, Calif.-The NBA Board of Governors voted yesterday to add a third referee to the two-man teams presently used in pro basketball.
