It's just that they weren't around when it' was played. Thursday, FSU coach Hugh Durham denied reports that the Seminoles refused to stand when the anthem was played before they played Tu-Jane in New Orleans.

"There Is absolutely no truth to that story," Durham said. He added that both his team and Tulane were in their locker rooms while the anthem-was. played. Green Wave coach Ralph Pederson said, "I wanted my team ready to play rather than delayed while the national anthem was being played. It was a key emotional game for us." The strategy worked for Tulane, which upset the Seminoles 88-69.

But the erroneous report may draw a lawsuit from FSU. "We think we've got it traced down to where it originated, and we're definitely considering legal action," Durham said. "Our players are upset and something like this can hurt the school. "We've had the national an? them played before our home games, before our game at Jacksonville and before our games in the Sun Bowl tour-, nament at El Paso, Durham said. Durham added that the national anthem is played at Tallahassee while both teams-are in the dressing room but this has been the policy for a long time and there has been no change this year because of the Seminoles' five black starters.
