Sports Notes

• Owner Carroll Rosenbloom of the Baltimore Colts donated $100,000 to memorial funds set up after the Wichita State and Marshall University football plane crashes. President Nixon donated $500 to Wichita State.

• Syracuse University officials refused comment on a student newspaper story that a special committee investigating alleged discrimination on the Syracuse football team had found the suspension of eight black players "was an act of institutional racism."

• George Taliaferro, dean of students at Morgan State and the first black president of the association of former Baltimore Colts players, claimed the National Football League club was "the most racist organization alive" when he played in the Colts' backfield in 1953 and 1954.

• Melvin Baker, first-string split end at Texas Southern University, was wounded when three shotgun blasts were fired into the team dormitory. Baker was treated for pellet wounds in his back and then released from a local hospital. None of the players could give a reason for the shooting. However, school officials told police that several members of the team had a fight with some members of another campus organization Monday night.
