The ban prohibits the Big Ten chool from participating in any postseason competition following the 1976, 1977 and 1978 seasons and from appearing in any television games during that period.

In addition, the university will be permitted to award only 20 new football scholarships during the 1976-77 academic year, rather than the allowable 30, and will -be allowed five less than the normal limit In each of the following two years. MSU officials at East Lansing were not immediately available for comment. The investigation began last April when an unidentified school filed a complaint about MSU with the NCAA. The complaint concerned a reported 70 violations the university made in recruiting high school athletes from the Midwest, particularly Ohio. At the time head Coach Denny Stolz said: "We have done nothing that would constitute Michigan State being put on probation." lie called the allegations "typical of what happens when a young program becomes successful." The NCAA also ordered the university to prohibit one assistant football coach from engaging In any off-campus recruiting activities during the first year pf the probation.

A second assistant coach is restricted from engaging in any recruiting activities on or off campus during the entire probationary period. In addition, the university is required to admonish a third assistant coach to guard against a recurrence of similar violations of NCAA regulations. The NCAA also ordered the university to "sever all relations between two representatives of Its athletic interests and its intercollegiate athletic program."

(AP Wircphmn) Tar Heels Lauda Easily Wins Upset Terps Opening Prix Race MSU President Clifton Wharton said he would discuss the university' response to the NCAA's findings at a press conference Monday. "The university acknowledges that some violation took place but we regret that the (NCAA) council was unable to accept our proof of innocence in the matters appealed to it," Wharton said In a brief statement. Wharton had previously imposed a no-comment order on all athletes, coaches and administrators involved in the probe. The university was reportedly quizzed about 70 possible violations during a 17-hour October meeting In Denver with the NCAA Infractions Committee.

Media reports said the university pleaded guilty to only 15 of the charge at that time. Various Michigan newspapers said most of the allegations involved assistant coach Howard Weyer, who Joined MSU in 1973, as did assistant coach Charles Butler, who reportedly was Involved to a lesser extent. Questionable tactics reported by paper during the probe included: Clothing purchases, with Weyers' knowledge, by grid-ders Joe Hunt and Mike Cobb, using an MSU booster's credit card. Quarterback Charlie Bag-gett's purchase of a $5,896 automobile under a special payment deal involving two other boosters. Baggett was ordered by Wharton to return the car, and did, after an NCAA official called the incident a "gray area." Statements last week by a source who said Weyers In 1973 lavished expensive gifts and money on an Ohio high school athlete.

Bernhard Russi, downhill gold medalist at the 1972 Sapporo Olympic, was fifth in 2: 06.63, leading two other skier from Switzerland into the top 10.

Walter Trescti of Switzerland, tying teammate Philippe Roux for ninth place, won the Hahnenkamm combined title, worth 25 World Cup points and soared to fifth in the standings with a total of 90 points. Italian slalom specialist Pi-ero Gros, who did not race Sunday, stayed third with 155, and World Cup defender Gustavo Thoeni, a distant 36th In the downhill, remained alone in fourth with 140 points. Canada's Olympic downhill hopes were buoyed by the strong finishes of Jim Hunter, seventh In 2:06.75, and Dave Murray, eighth in 2:06.77. Hunter finished second in the combined, picking up 25 World Cup points, and rose to 11th in the over-all standing with 56. Thoeni, trying for his fifth straight World Cup title, finished third in the combined, earning 19 more Cup points.

Barnes assisted Davis in arranging the event for many years. Always involved In athletics, Barnes won city meet titles in track while at Coughlin. He posted victories in the 100-, 220-and 440-yard dashes and anchored the mile relay team, which set a meet record in ,1915.
