Page Sixteen THE MICH IGAN DAILY Wednesday, May S, 1976 More penalties for MSU By The Associated Pres EAST LA1NSING - Michigan tate University has lost a key defensive back for the entire 1976 football season and its starting tight end for five games und:er peQalties imposed yesterday by the Na- tional Collegiate Athletic Associati ct. Five other players, including a -'ar defensive tackle, were told rey w)nid have to sit out the first gamne of the season - against Big Ten champion Ohio State, where the Spartans will need all the talent they can field. THE NCAA barred starting defen.sive back Joe Hunt for the season for involve- ment in violations in MSU's football program. Tight end Mike Cobb, a senior this fall, was ruled ineligible for the first five games. Hunt's ineligibility means an end to his collegiate athletic career, according Hunt out for season. to Dr. John Fuzak, MSU's athletic coun- cil chairtuin. The quick, aggressive back was part of a defensive quartet which h-is been the strong point of MSU football far twc years. Bit the Spartans have depth in the defensive backfield. One of those ruled out of one game this year is Ted Bell, the once-promising running back who has been moved to the defensive secon- dary. He will be a junior. DARRYL ROGERS, MSU's new foot- ball coach, said he did not yet know how badly the team would be hurt, but added, "I think anytime you lose any football player, no matter who be is, it hurts." He said he was not able to say who would replace Hlunt, but said the shorter, one-game penalties of the other players improved the situation some- what. Hunt and Cobb were penalized for benefiting from the use of a credit card owned by a "representative of the uni- versity's athletic interests," and loaned to an assistant coach. The booster providing the credit card has been identified as T. Michael Doyle, a Lansing attorney and MSU alumnus. In a report of its own investigation of the NCAA allegations, the school acknowl- edged both players admitted illegal use of the credit card and said they would make restitution. Two players - Bell and middle guard Melvin Land, a junior this fall - will miss the Ohio State opener because they accepted a ride with an assistant coach from East Lansing to Cleveland during the 1974 Thanksgiving holiday. BELL WAS also accused of involve- ment with what the NCAA termed "spe- cial credit accounts" at a local travel agency. The other players barred from the season's first game are star defensive tackle Larry Bethea, who will be a junior; defensive end Jim Epolitio, a senior; and reserve quarterback Ed Smith, a junior. The penalties are the latest blow to MSU football, which has been crippled by the NCAA finding of 34 violations in its program. The school, put on three years' pro- bation, forced coach Denny Stolz to re- sign and hired a new coach, new as- sistant coaches and a new athletic di- rector in an attempt to clean house.

Kingman's two-rin shot, fol- lowing a leadoff single by Joe Torre in the third inning, gave him 23 rins batted in for the seuson, tying him for the Na- tiuinal League lead with Mike Schmidt of the Philadelphia Phillies. The Mets capitalized on starter Fred Norman' swild- ness to score two ris with- out a hit in the second inning as Norman surrendered four bases on balls. Cincinnati had picked up a run in the top of the third on ted otlks and an infield single by Pete Nose buit Seaser, 4-0, pitchted out of that jam, leaving three Reds stranded on base.
