Jennings threatened NCAA action against the Sooners in the Kiffin case and Wilkinson forwarded the letter to the NCAA. But Byers has now stated that this happened a month after the investigation began, due to the information 'furnished by the Texan.

Thus, the infractions com- ningson the illegal aid mat ter and found itself with a two-fold investigation. Miami, Fla. and a football rules meeting td discuss the indefinite probation handed OU by the NCAA a week ago because of a recruiting fund administered by an accountant in Oklahoma City. The accountant, Arthur L. Wood, has not made as complete a disclosure of the fund as the NCAA asks but has said he worked with Bill Jen- lungs, men pv.i.r- an assistant coach at OU and now head football coach at the University of Nebraska.

In a state ment handed out at the? confere ncei-Wilkin son aK Wilkinson said: "When the original investigation was- made in 1953 and 1954, we endeavored to cooperate fully with the NCAA and reveal all pertinent facts concerning our program. "The present controversy" is concerned with matters which took place in 1953 and 1954 which we did not know about at that time. "When we learned of them; in accord with our original policy of complete cooperation, we notified the NCAA in the hope the matter could be completely settled. 'From the beginning of tne controversy our attitude has been one of cooperation. We will continue the same policy." In a question and answer session, Wilkinson was asked if any coaches except Jen nings knew about the fund and he replied: "Everyone says they didn't know and I have to take their word for it.

Dr. Cross (president George L. Cross of the university) has talked to all the coaches and so presumably has the NCAA." Cross and Wilkinson con ferred before the news conference. Asked if he saw any solu tion, Wilkinson said: "I don't know what we can do that we haven't done already. We have done everything the NCAA has asked." To a question as to how long the probation might continue Wilkinson said: "I don't know.

To try to analyze a decision someone else will make is impossible." Changes Suit Orwig Omaha (UPI) Nebraska Athletic Director Bill Orwig Wednesday called for rule changes in collegiate football that would remove "hypocrisy" from the gams. 1 Orwig gave his remarks on the topic during an interview preceding a Junior Chamber of Commerce luncheon honor ing Football Coach Bill Jennings. a a a A For example, ne saw, me quarterback should be per mitted to, "come over to the sidelines and talk with the coach they do it by signals anyway."

He said the professionals, "have stolen a lot of glamor away. from Intercollegiate CooTrlrtt, 1960. by Lincoln Erfnlns Jenrasl and (Nebraska Stat Journal By Dick Becker Bill Jennings has exonerated of charges that he tattled on the University of Oklahoma.

Walter Byers, executive di rector of the National Colle giate Athletic Association, told The Journal in an exclusive interview Thursday from his Kansas City office that initial Information which triggered the investigation of the Soon- ers came from a man in Texas, a month before the Bud Wilkinson-Jennings feud reached the NCAA committee on infractions. Jennings, University of Nebraska football coach who was an assistant coach at Oklahoma for 7 years, has been charged with tattling on the Sooners. But Byers, the man who has the entire record on the case, said Thursday: "It is true that a source (unidentified) in West Texas did provide us with information which led to the belief of illegal aid at Oklahoma and started the investigation. "He did have information that illegal aid was forthcoming in at least one case. "The Oklahoma-Nebraska situation developed after that." Byers, in fact, said the first report of illegal aid at Okla homa came in April, 1958, and that it was about a month later that the Jennings-Wil- Kinson correspondence on illegal recruiting appeared at tne ncaa office.

Byers gave further information that Jennings was an unwilling witness in the case. "Information we received," Byers continued, "indicated that Coach Jennings would have information. "We contacted Jennings and he would only come before our infractions committee if the University of Oklahoma asked him to come. He was willing to cooperate at the University of Oklahoma's encouragement but said he was a reluctant witness." Byers completely took Jennings off the hook when he added: "We did not bring Bill Jennings into the Oklahoma probation when it was announced in New York last week. "We told of the West Texas man but nobody thought to use it." Oklahoma was placed on "indefinite probation" by the NCAA until the books on an illegal recruiting fund are opened up to the NCAA com mittee.

Arthur Wood, Oklahoma City accountant who was in charge of the fund from 1952 54, has refused to open the books and said that Jennings was the only man who knew of the fund. Jennings has not denied knowledge of the fund nor use of it, but he stoutly hag maintained that he was not the only one aware of it. Original charges from Okla homa that Jennings turned the Sooners in to the NCAA were changed by Dr. George Howe Ties The Rocket Bv United Press International Maurice (Rocket) Richard is returning to action just in time to" fight for one of the many National Hockey Leaeue scoring records he holds. Gordie Howe of the Detroit Red Wings picked up the 945th point of his NHL career Wednesday night to tie Rich ard for the league record as the Red Wings dropped a 5-2 decision to the Chicago Black Hawks.

Howe gained a good deal of ground while Richard was sidelined for almost two months with a fractured cheekbone. Howe tied the record by bagging his 18th goal. of the season and the 436th of his career in the second period at Chicago. Tod Sloan scored twice in the same session to clinch the victory for the Black Hawks.

Mattice is the "old hand" at amateur boxing, this being his 3rd year in the Golden Gloves competition, and pre-tourney speculation picks him for a good chance to cop the middleweight trophy this year. Trophies are being offered to winners of each of the 8 weight divisions, flyweight, bantamweight, feather-weight, lightweight, welterweight, middleweight, light heavy and heavyweight; as well as a blue and white silk robe and a matching pair of boxing trunks. Winners in the 8 events at Pershing will be eligible to go to Omaha for the Midwest Tournament for the next step in the climb up the Golden Gloves ladder, a trip that can eventually end in Rome next summer at the Olympic Games.

Trophies will also be award ed to the boxing team with the most winners listed on its roster and to the outstanding boxer of the tournament and the ouststanding novice. A number of novices are expected, according to the boxing committee, youngsters who have not had more than 4 fights by tourney time. This is being done to keep a rank beginner from facing a veter an ringman, something that has happened in the past. Entries to date: llt-BWBnds Gr Goldsherrv. Fremont: Eddie Goodteacher.

'Oklahoma Evading' Orwig AD, Jennings Omaha Speakers From News Wires Omaha Nebraska Athlet ic Director Bill urwig saia here Wednesday that the Uni versity of Oklahoma is 'evading the re sue" in trying blame Husker Football Coach Bill Jennings for the NCAA-imposed suspension on the Sooners.

Both Orwig and Jennings were in Omaha for a lunch eon meeting witn omana businessmen. Neither devoted much time to the NCAA-Okla homa controversy at the meeting. But prior to the luncheon, Orwig said: "The main point is that Oklahoma has been placed on probation by the National Dupas Clips Kenny Lane Page 14 Collegiate Athletic Associ ation, as a result of an ap parently illegal recruiting fund. "Any connection Coach Jennings had with the fund came when he worked for Oklahoma and under the Oklahoma head coach (Bud Wilkinson.) "I appreciate Oklahoma's interest in protecting its rep utation, but the accusations against Coach Jennings are evading the issue." Jennings was honored at a Junior Chamber of Com merce luncheon attended by 235 persons. The Husker coach showed movies of the 1959 victory over Oklahoma, but steared clear of the current hassle.

There was some good-na tured ribbing at the session, but most of the questions put to the Husker boss con cerned plans for individual players. One in particular was whether Monte Kiffin of Lexington, who underwent sur gery for a back injury, would be able to play next year. Jennings said he under stood that unless something complicated Kufin's re covery, the youth would be ready by fall. The NU grid mentor also indicated that Pat Fischer two-year let terman halfback and Soph omore John Faimari, both Omaha products, may fight It out for the top 1960 quarter back Job. Orwig spoke briefly, com menting that he felt Nebras- kas football finances were on the upward path.

Referring to Orwig's remarks on finances later, Jennings told the group he thought Nebraska's appearance at Oklahoma next fall would take away a considerable portidn of the present deficit in the football fund. lot of people. will be ia ti Jennings quipped. is PAGE 13 in a key position Thursday to Bowling tournament. day finals opened Thursday from St.

Isaacson refused to elaborate on Prystai's dismissal other than to say, "It was for reasons obvious to everybody who follows the Knights."
