L TODAY'S SPORTRAIT
• NEW YORK —iff)— Frank S. Hogan would prefer to limit his sports
|activities to swimming and rooting for the Columbia football team, but
.he is the man most responsible for uncovering the country’s biggest
'athtaiic scandal,
, jSrXany of 1951’s largest sports stories have not been sent fro\
.gyms or stadiums. They have come from Manhattan’s massive Crimin
‘al Courts Building where Hogan is serving his third straight term as
•district attorney for New York County.
' His detectives have brought in all but two of the 32 players and
‘most of the “fixers” charged with tampering with the scoring Ih 29
•college basketball games. What ssort of a man is Hogan.
’ Like most of the athletes he has arrested for taking bribes, Hogan
[started as a poor boy. But he picked a slower way to make money.
• His middle name is Smithwic, his mother’s maiden name. It might
‘just as well be W-o-r-k.
J He is a graduate of the school of hard knocks, Columbia University
• and' law school and the .special reackets squad which cleaned up
• New York under Thomas E. Dewey in the 1930’5.
; Hogan began working in a watch factory in his hometown; Water
[ bury, Conn., when he was 13. While getting his book education, he pick
■ed up practical experience working in a grocery store, waiting on
■tables, selling books, serving as a ship steward, working with a min
ting, company and earning his varsity “C” in the Columbia backfield.
.He was president of Columbia’s class of 1924.
. When Dewey moved up to the governorship of New York Hogan
’ wfl* ’ one of four men he recommended for the district attorneys’
job. The only Democrat among the four, he was the unanimous choice
all parties in 1941 and has been re-elected twice since.
» The product of these years is no sports-hater. Nor is he a starry
-reformer. He is a very wise customer.
Hogan is the exact opposite of the movie version of a district attor
ney. Reporters meet a 49-year-old man who talks-between puffs
• With, the quiet deliberation of a veteran pipe smoker.
By now, he has practically a set announcement for new “fix” de
velopments: “We are arresting the following men .. who have confes
sed to shaving points on the following games
■> —Then come the questions. The basketball scandal, like a defective
Wring of fire crackers, keeps popping at Intervals. Reporters, hoping

newspaper story could damage an innocent man or school.

BY NORMAN MILLER
(UP Sports Writer)
NEW YORK Iff) —The United
Press board of coaches named Tenn
essee’s unbeaten powerhouse as ihc
nation’s top-ranked college football
team for the third straight week
and awarded Stanford a place
among the top 10 for the first time
this season.
■ Illinois barely edged Michigan
State for second place; Southern
California also had a slim margin
over Maryland in the battle for
fourth place, and Texas returned
to the top 10 after an absence of
two weeks in other significant rank
ings of the 35 leading coaches who
comprise the board.
Tennessee, 21 to 0 conqueror of
North Carolina last Saturday, for
its sixth victory of the season and
i its 16th straight over the past two
, years, attracted 20 first-place votes
, and a total of 307 points in the
weekly coaches' ballot.
Coach Bob Neyland’s Volunteers
thus topped the weekly listings for
the fourth time this season. They
led the first week, dropped back to
second or third place while Calif
l ornia took over for three straight
weeks, and regained the No. 1 rank
ing during the past three weeks.
SLIM MARGIN
Illinois, 6-0, retained the runner
' up spot with three first place votes
and 263 points after beating Mich
igan 7 to 0 for a two-point mar
gin ovet third-place Michigan State
The Spartan, 6-0, who were idle
last weekend, had six first-place
votes but received fewer {mints for
succeeding places.
Southern California. 7-1, which
beat Army 28 to 6, held fourth place

Manager Charley Dressen Is
Given Another Chance In '52
BY FRED DOWN . ;
(UP Sports Writer) | I
NEW YORK llP—The Brooklyn |
Dodger front office stood solidly!
behind Manager Chuck Dressen to
, day—with axes poised.
) Dapper, Whistlin’ Charley will be
back as boss of the Dodgers next 1
year. But it will be on borrowed
time—and Burt Shotton’s time, at
■ that.
Club president Walter O'Malley I 1
■ made that clear when he announced ] ,
■ yesterday that Dressen would be re- 1
■ hired. In an astounding accom
panying statement, O’Malley stated
, flatly that “the basic reason Dres
. sen is being rehired is because
! Shotton was fired for less."
Shoiton was fired on Nov. 27,
, 1950, because the Dodger j lost the
, pennant on the last day of the sea
son. Dressen's 1951 Dodgers also
| lost the pennant on the last day
of the season. But Charley is be
ing spared, according to O'Malley,
! “because we are all a year older
and wiser.”
1 ON THE SPOT CHARLEY
Perhaps no manager in baseball
’ history ever stood so clearly on the
! Vpot as does Dressen In 1952. His
; employer is- on recoqd with a state
: ment that his predecessor would
1 be managing the club is he had
' the decision to make over again.
' And despite his general defense of
Dressen, O’Malley made it clear
that Charley’s mistakes did not go
unnoticed.

. ter manager next year," O’Malley

Asked whether Dressen would re
