NFL Stars, Hornung, Karras Draw
Indefinite Suspensions; League
Officials Feel Action Warranted
Detroit Club Fined
$4,000 by Rozelle
By TIM MORIARTY
UPI Sperit Writer
New York (UPI Most Na
tional Football league offic
ials, including Vince Lombar
di of the world champion
Green Bay Packers, today
agreed that the indefinite sus
pensions handed two of the
pro game's greatest stars for
betting on games were fully
warranted.
Pete Rozelle, once labeled
"a tool" of the pro league's
club owners, proved to be an
frnn . HniOli C O m 111 lS.siO HT T
Wednesday when he barred
Paul Horning of the Packers,
regarded as the most versatile
nlavpr in fnnthall historv. and
Alex Karras, star defensive
tackle of the Detroit Lions
The 37-year-old NFL com
missioner also lined live oin
er Detroit players $2,000 each
for betting on tne moz league
championship game and the
Detroit club was fined $4,000
for failing to heed reports of
Its players' gamming activi
ties.
Lombardl, coach and gen
eral manager of the Packers,
was "shocked and hurt"
when he learned of Hornung's
suspension but he admitted
Rozelle had no alternative.
"There is no evidence of
criminal intent; that is, the
shaving of points and so
forth." Lombardl said. ' How
ever, there was a definite vio
lation of the player contract
and the constitution and by
laws of the league in regard
to gambling, which is punish
able by suspension."
8ms Stronger League
Art Modell, president of
the Cleveland Browns, said
the suspensions "mean that
the NFL will be stronger
than ever before because of
Rozclle's decisions. It should
serve as a strong deterrent
in the future."
Other officials who praised
the commissioner's decisions
Included Jack Mara, president
of the New York Giants and
George Hulas, long-time own.
er-coach of the Chicago Bears
Coach Buddy Parker of the
Pittsburgh Stcelcrs said he
believed individual National
Football league coaches
should show more concern
over the associatldn players
cultivate off the field and de
scribed the suspensions as
"unfortunate."
William Clay Ford, presi
dent of the Lions, said Ro
zellc's ruling "was slow In
coming and rough when it got
here." He added, "we feel the
ruling was harsh and assume
the players feel it was harsh."
Hornung, the NFL's player-of-the
year in 1B61 and a
three - time league scoring
champion, admitted he made
"a foolish mistake" and said,
"I Just hope and pray the sus
pension will be lifted after
next season."
Karras wasn't quite as
gracious in accepting his pen
ally. "This is guilt by association
and innuendo," said the 230
pound lineman who is 28, a
year older than Hornung.
"I'm not guilty and I've done
nothing to be ashamed of."
Both suspended players
said they had no plans until
1964 when their cases will
be reviewed by Rozelle. They
had hoped to continue playing
football elsewhere, but of
ficials of the American Foot
ball league and the Canadian
leagues said they would hon
or the NFL suspensions.
Maybe 111 go into wres
tling for the rest of my life,"
said Karras, who once wres
tled professionally as "Killer
Karras."
Rozelle, who revealed he
"did much soul searching" be-1
fore handing down his sweep
ing suspensions and fines
said all seven players in
volved "admitted the betting
to us."
Hornung, an All -America
quarterback at Notre Dame
before he joined the pro
ranks, was specifically
charged ,with making bets on
college and pro football
games through a West Coast
friend from 1959 through
1961. The wagers ranged from
$100 to $300 a game. Except
for one season, in which he
won $1,500, Hornung broke
approximately even on his
gambling, Rozelle revealed.
The facts of the Karras case
are somewhat different than
those which hung Hornung.
Karras was not an habitual
gambler but he consorted
with individuals described by
Detroit police as "known
hoodlums." The Lions' tackle,
though, did make at least six
significant bets on NFL games
since 1958.
One of Karras' last bets
was a $100 wager on last sea
son's NFL title game between
the Packers and the Giants.
Five of his teammates - John
Gordy, Gary Lowe, Joe
Schmidt, Wayne Walker and
Sam Williams - bet $50 on
the same contest.
They all won their bets
they bet correctly on the
Packers - but they wound up
paying stiff penalties.

second panel on the strength
of a waiK and hits by Jan

as happy his Fireballs have
