THURSAT,. FEBRUARY 2,-1351 THE DAILY TAB H PAGE THREE Strictly Ad Lib co no FGSS itioh Uzh Basketball a 9 Ac Crime' Invades the Big Time SAD TO SAY, OLD demon Crime has reared its proverbially ugiy head once .again. The -.settings as usual, is. New York where jou can buy anything from a 12-inch firecracker to a basketball "iiine. The once fair game of basketball received another .kick in the coccyx a few days ago when it was discovered that no less than eight players on "big time" cage teams had accepted money from professional gamblers to "throw" games in Madison Square Garden, a modern Garden of Eden with more than one shake' on the loose. Of the Evil Eight, representing NYU, CCNY, and LIU, one has been tabbed the nation's outstanding player and three others have been mentioned as All-America candidates. The big man irl the deal, of course, was Sherman White, the 6 7" Long Island ace who is currently leading the nation hv scoring and has been named h-v the outstanding eager of the year by Sporting News. -It is unfortunate, to say the least, when players accept bribe money to "fix" a game for the benefit of a few underworld citizens who are out to' fleece the suckers that flood the Big Town, but when some of the top names in basketball join in on the deal you know the country's top spectator sport has hit an all-time low. The Cost of the Loss THE PLAYERS PROBABLY DIDN'T think about it when the -amblers waved the long green in front of them, but important games aren't the only things they're tossing out the window. The boys who have been nabbed by New York detectives also have thrown away their self respect, the respect of ' their fellows, and a jhot at professional basketball. Many . of the boys involved in the fixes had promising pro careers before them. Others didn't, but the fact that they walked the crooked path will follow them from here on out no matter where they go. They'll be lucky to get truck driving jobs after this. They're regretting their misdeeds already, of course; but regret won't keep them out of prison or open the Pearly Gates. Carolina Basketball Coach Tom Scott was contacted yesterday about the second basketball scandal since New Year's Day. He commented that the Tar Heels will likely play in the Garden again next year, but added that the final decision will have to come from the administration. "At this time we don't have a game scheduled in New York for next year," Scott said, "but we'll probably be back there if the administration doesn't rule it but." The amiable Tar Heel Coach referred to the New York mess as "very bad for the game, lot," he commented. USF Players Offered Cash To Fix Games NEW YORK, Feb.: 21 (UP) The basketball betting scandal spread across the nation today with charges of attempted "fixes" on the West Coast. A New York grand jury began hearing wiretap evidence in its own bribery case. The grand jury here started its probe into the sensational cases involving three City College of New York stars, three Long Is land University stars, one New York University player and two other men. Earlier police seized the financial records and bank accounts of Salvatore Torto Sol lazzo, 45-year-old jewelry man ufacturer accused of being the "payoff man" in the New York bribe ring. - New Developments Menawhile, across the nation there were these developments: 1. In East Lansing, Mich:, for mer San Francisco University basketball coach Pete Newell said three of his players were offered bribes to throw games while he was on the West Coast. He nam ed two of the players Don Lof gran, and Frank Kuzara and thev confirmed his charges. Tar Batty Wrestlers LoseTo WCTC J 6-1 2 Such action "hurts the game an awful No Laughing Matter 2. At Portland, Ore., Police Chief Charles Pray said his de partment had been asked by Mil waukee Police for information regarding telephone calls on bas ketball gambling. The alleged phone calls were from a Portland "card room" to Milwaukee. Frosh Gain 4 Decisions In Close Meet By Buddy. Norfhart " Carolina's freshrnan wrestlers last night lost a hard fought meet, 1 16-12, " to - the Western Carolina Teacher's College Varsity in Woollen Gym. It was, the Tar Babies' second loss of the year to the WCTC team. The Tar Babies got off to a fast start with Harry Pawlik, 123 lbs., decisioning WCTC's Davis White sides, 9-6. Pawlik came back from a near pin in the second period to take the match. ' In the 137 lbs. Class, WCTC's Bob Hornaday pinned Henry Wil son in 1:10 of the first period with a half-nelson and crotch hold. . WCTC made it two pins in a row when Bob Halliburton, 147 lbs., pinned Carolina's Bill Dam eron in 25 seconds of the first period using a half-nelson and crotch hold. Tommy Stokes, 157 lbs., put Carolina back in the running with a 9-4 decision over Jack Nolan. Stokes' smart wrestling enabled him to outsmart his stronger op ponant for the win. Carolina's Andy Holt lost his first match of the season when, he was decisioned 6-0, by Bozo Bur elson, in the 177 lbs. class. Competition In Conference Division Keen As Tor Heels Defend Indoor Games Title THE USUAL JOKES HAVE been making the rounds since the big scandal broke, but in the opinion of most sport personalities it's no laughing matter. Certain radio-TV comics don't see it that way, however. Chuck ling about the situation, one comic did a take-off on an old song by singing, "Rumors are flying that CCNY .isn't, trying," Another bit of satire went this way: "A tisket, a tasked $500 for thas basket." Since everybody else is getting into the act I might as well drop my two cents into the pot. If the laugh-makers are going to stick to the practice of stealing punch lines from popular songs, they might suggest that LIU adopt "Bye, Bye Blackbirds" as its new theme song. A recent press report states that Long Island has already dropped intercollegiate athletics and will, temporarily at least, confine its basketball and other sports to intramurals. 3. A United Press survey of 48 colleges which played basketball in Madison Square Garden this season revealed that six have de cided not to return because of the bribe scandal. Twenty-five said they were willing to return and the remainder were undecided. New York District Attorney Frank S. Hogan said he was pre senting his evidence to the Grand Jury on the men already arrested and that he does not plan to question any tther college play ers now. He said he expected indictments on those accused within 10 days. Newell, new coach at Michigan State College, said tnere is lots of gambling" on college basket ball on the West Coast.

Competition in the conference i division of the 16th Annual Southern Conference Indoor Games to be held Saturday in Woollen Gymnasium appears to be much stiffer this year than in previous years when Carolina's Tar Heels won 11 of 15 meets, in cluding the last six in succession. The Tar Heels .-will be favored again this year, but by a much' smaller margin. ' Carolina will need every man int top shape, to stave off threats of strong Maryland and Duke. Carolina should find Defend ng Champions Dave Willis and Jack Moody repeating in the 60 yard dash and jthe high jump respectively. High jumper Billy Joyner, High Hurdler Garrett Fitzgibbons, Low Hurdler Frank Scott and Quarter-miler Gene Brigham are other top Tar Heels who might gain first place points. Maryland will be strong in the distance events with Al Buehler and Tyson Creamer favored in the half and the mile respective ly and big Jack Unterkolfer in the shot put. Duke will have Tommy Reeves favored in the broad jump and Johnny Connor in the pole vault. N. C. State's Clyde Garrison is the two-mile favorite. The mile relay event is a toss-up with Duke, Maryland and Carolina all given a chance to win. The freshman division will also be a highly competitive bracket with 17 teams entered in six events. Carolina won last year with 10 3-4 points. In the scholastic division there are 24 teams entered, headed by defending champion Washington Lee High; of Arlington, Va. The champs will be among the favor ites along with Georgia Military Academy, Woodberry Forest Prep and Granby High of Norfolk. Georgia Tech gets the favor ite's nod to take over Navy's crown in the non-conference di vision.

The meet will be the fourth of the season for the Tar Heels who have not tasted victory so far this year. According to Coach Bill Meade, the Tar Heels will have a good chance of defeating the Terps, who are also winless. Maryland lost to Penn State by the same score as did Carolina. Meade reported that four men, out of action so far this season because of injuries, will see action tonight. They are: Andy Bell, high bar; Bill McCord, trampo line; Perry Ritch, tumbling; and Bob House, tumbling. High point men Check Goodin, Tom Harrison, R. S. White, nnd Murray Cook will also be on hand to pace the Tar Heels. Meade said tonight will be the first time this season that the Tar Heels have been in top shape. The Tar Heels' previous de feats have come at the hands of Georgia Tech, Penn State, and Duke. In each of the meets Car olina was hampered by injuries. Wallace Maintains Lead In Scoring Race; aldi And Deasy Follow, Nladdie Fourth Grim Jack Wallace, sophomore from Elkins, W. Va., maintained his iedd in the Tar Heel scoring race.

Deasy has scored 228 points in 22 games for a 10.3 average. His best departmenT is rebounds where he has pulled in 383 way ward shots to rank among the national leaders.
