league and TONGUE-AND-ARM BIRDIE Roberto DeVicenzo from Argentina sticks out his tongue and throws up his arms as he sinks a 22-foot putt on the sixth green in the first round of the World Cup International golf tournament yesterday. (AP Wirephoto) The revelation of the Bullets' refusal to pay Monroe the deferred portions of his salary came several hours after the announcement of the trade in which' the Knicks sent forward Dave Stallworth, guard Mike Riordan and an undisclosed amount of cash to the Bullets. It came in the form ot a statement from Monroe's attorney, Larry Fleishcr, who said negotiations with the Knicks had been smooth, but "a problem arose in that the Baltimore management has sent a letter to Monroe saying they are refusing to pay him the overwhelming portion of his salary over the past two years." FLEISHER SAID the money involved was deferred payments "due in a few more years and there was no question about his having earned it. But the Bullets refuse to recognize their obligation." The agent, citing what he termed "one more instance, and in my mind the worst possible display of unbelievable behavior by a club owner toward a player," said he had advised Monroe to sign with the Knicks without having the matter immediately resolved. Fleisher said the Bullets refused to even discuss the situation until Monday and that they had been advised "Earl will proceed with all necessary legal steps to insure that the payment due him will be made." Monroe performed for the Knicks in their 112-103 National Basketball Association loss to Golden State last night and scored nine points in the reserve role.

Meanwhile, an official of the American Basketball Association Indiana Pacers said yesterday they felt veteran back-court star Earl Monroe will be happier in the National Basketball Association than if he jumped to the ABA. JOHN WEISSERT, Pacer vice-president and general manager said that it was no seuret the defending ABA Western Division champs were "definitely interested" in signing Monroe. "Our efforts were in the form of having him here to look at CIX BIG TEN FOOTBALLERS are training their sights on individual league records and one Michigan State's Eric Allen may get over the hump tomorrow when the Spartans entertain Minnesota. Allen The Flea, who's been dashing with gay abandon since, Coach Duffy Daugherty sprung him loose in a wishbone' formation, is a strong possibility to put his name in the books three times since two Saturdays of conference combat remain. Principally as a result of the Spartans' 43-10 belting of Purdue in which he ran for 350 yards and four touchdowns, Allen has to talk the Gophers into surrendering only 62 yards for a single-season rushing standard.

Wjth 992 to his credit, Allen Is an extremely hot prospect to establish the record since Minnesota, loser of three straight, ranks a lukewarm seventh in rushing defence. The 172-pound Spartan workhorse is virtually certain to erase the record Mike Adamle posted last year at Northwestern. If not tomorrow, then surely when State meets the Wildcats at Evanston (111.) a week later. Allen also is in line to set marks for most points scored and -most touchdowns in one year. He needs 13 points to edge) past the 92 tallied by Michigan's Ron Johnson in 1968.

Five touchdowns will be one more than the 15 registered by Johnson in his big season and LeRoy Keyes of Purdue in 1967. Surprisingly, or maybe not since Michigan boasts a ton equalW-spread of talent end to end, the league-leading Wolverine have only one performer with record-setting possibilities. That fellow kicking specialist Dana Coin must see his mafest stopped long enough against Purdue at Lafayette to-morro and Ohio State at Ann Arbor (Mich.) the next Saturday to uncork a couple of field goals. A pair would give him seven against a half-dozen shareholders who have authored six in previous campaigns. They include Dick Van Raapljorst and Bob Funk, Ohio State; Dick Kenney, Michigan State; Dick Emmerich and Bill Planisek, Northwestern, and Rogerl Jaeger, Wisconsin.

-Meanwhile, Coin already has benefitted from the Wolverines' high-scoring antics to the tune of Big Ten and NCAA place-kicking records. Coin is prepared to increase, his strings of 33 in the conference and 51 against all comers. Iowa's Frank Sunderman has a shot at ex-Boilermaker Mike Phipps' aerial monuments for passes, completions and total plays. The latter should be easier to come by as far as tomorrow is concerned since the Hawkeyes face Indiana which ranks second in pass defense. With Illinois to follow, Sunderman has to throw 63 times, complete 33 and be involved in a total of 67 plays to bounce Phipps out of the top spot.

Phipps, scheduled to start at quarterback Sunday for Cleveland's punchless Browns, hit 118 of 238 tries in 302 plays two years ago. A Northwestern trio of flanker Barry Pearson, quarterback Maurie Daigneau and fullback Al Robinson round out the candidates in today's piece. Pearson is 13 receptions and 145 yards short of topping Michigan's Jack Clancy who nabbed 50 for 698 in 1966. Daigneau is 36 behind Phipps' 1969 record of 1,599 yards, and Robinson needs 68 carries to bypass Adamle who got the call on 250 occasions last year. AN ABA JOKER: Van Vance, who broadcasts the Kentucky Colonels' games is a tennis devotee who totes his racket on road trips.

On a recent junket to Miami, Vance's bat was being carried by 7-2 Artis Gilmore as they deplaned to be met by several television reporters. "Is that Gilmore?" asked a cameraman. "No," replied Dan Issp. "that's Arthur Ashe. He's crown a little." Danielson Gets Starting QB Nod STAR STATE REPORT Lafayette, Ind.

Coach Bob DeMoss announced here yesterday that junior Gary Danielson, sidelined last week with a shoulder injury, will start at quarterback for the Boilermakers tomorrow against Michigan. i a week ago. Owners of the other seven clubs in the league gave their approval for the sale before the contract was signed. The Triplets will not move, at least for next year, Labbruzzo said. However, he said, the team may change its major league affiliate.

11 making the announcement. The Boilermaker coach added, "Steve Burke has continued iO split the time working with the first unit with Danielson. Danielson has been the primary triggerman for the Big Ten's team passing leader (18 9.6 yards-per-game) although he has missed two entire conference games and parts of two more. His back up, sophomore Burke, of Dearborn, has led the Boilermaker aerial attack when Danielson was unavailable. Purdue, now 3-5 overall and 3-3 in Big Ten play, will be seeking to snap a three-game losing streak against Michigan, winner of all nine of its games this fall, six in conference action.

Tickets for tomorrow's game, the final home tilt for the Boilermakers this year, still are available. Athletic Group Plans Meeting The Marion County chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes will put on its big fall meeting tomorrow, featuring headline speaker Jimmy Feix, head football coach at West ern Kentucky University. The meeting is slated to begin at 10:45 a.m. in Room 131 of Jordan Hall at Butler University. Lunch will follow in Atherton Center.

After lunch, the group will attend the Butler-Western Kentucky football game in Butler Bowl. Activities will be open to the public. Player, making his first appearance in this country in about three months, didn't have a bogey in his round of 69 that led his teammate Harold Henning to a two-man total of 140, four under par on the east course at the PGA National.

Jacklin had a 75. Those were the only nations able to match or break par on the course that offered severe rough and gusty winds, contributing to some extremely slow play. The average time for the 18 holes was just over six hours. Trevino, holder of the single season money winning reeord, six titles including the British, American and Canadian California Due To Test Grade Rule San Francisco (UPI) Isaac Curtis and Larry Brum-sey of the University of California football team go to court today to test the constitutionality of the National Collegiate Athletic Association's 1.6 grade average rule. In their case in Federal Court they will seek to enjoin the NCAA from continuing its enforcement of the 1.6 rule against them and also to challenge the basis of the rule as it applies to the due process clause of the 14th amendment.

According to attorneys Fred 1 and J. Stanley Sanders, who will represent Curtis and Brumsey, application of the rule is discriminatory inasmuch as. Curtis is maintaining a 3.2 grade average i.nd Brumsey is at 2.7. THE NCAA set California down because the two and four other athletes not now involved failed to take a 1.6 i i i giaue pieuicauuuji teat witiuii the required time. Had the school not permitted Curtis and Brumsey to play it would have escaped probation.

Judge A. C. Wollenberg will hear the case in Federal court. Should he rule for Curtis and Brumsey then the NCAA conceivably could be stripped of its power as a governing body. Also, should Judge Wollenberg grant the desired injunction, then California would be cleared immeditely of probation and become eligible for the Rose bowl with all of its Pacific 8 conference games counting in the standings.

"He fve us tne lmprubMim he felt more legally committed with the NBA," Weissert said. "I'm sure he'll be happier at New York than Baltimore." Hinnroo nun issued a trade- me-or-else ultimatum to the Bullets in September ana me rnsult was yesterday's trade. At first there was some con fusion when Knicks' toacn and General Manager Red-Holzman said "there still are a few things we have to iron out." Holzman, apparently was referring to the problem with the Bullets.

But Holzman did say that Monroe's contract "has been agreed upon. It's a multiple year contract. But I wouldn't care to say for how many years." MONROE, whose 21.4 average last year was his lowest since joining the Bullets out of Winston-Salem College in 1967-68, played only three games for the Baltimore club before he failed to show for a game against the Knicks on Oct. 22. At that time, Jerry Sachs, the Bullets' executive vice-president, said Monroe had given the club an ultimatum through his agent stating that he wanted to be traded and would no longer play in Baltimore.

Monroe has a 23.7 career average. He was' the NBA's Rookie of the Year in 1967-68 when he averaged 24.3 a game, then had his best season the following year with a 25.8 average. He slipped to 23.4 in 1969-70 and then fell off further last season. Freshman Basketball Beech Orove (0, Crolo tt. Thanksgiving-open 11:00.
