• college authorities started a swift |
1 investigation today into Judge Saul]
■ Streit’s charges that some of the
bribed basketball players he sent’
1 to prison had entered City College
1 of New York ,by “fraud and for-1
gery." . I
A special committee of three wasj
appointed by the Board of Higher’
Education to look into Streit’s re-j
port that at least two players-Al'
Roth and Herb Cohen were ad
mitted to the free college on the
strength of false high school
. grades.
“I suggest that in the cases of
l Roth and Cohen there was deliber
ate fraud and possible forgery,"
streit said yesterday in a bitter
. denunciation of athletic corruption
as he sentenced five players and a
“master fixer” to prison terms,
i Other charges made by Streit in
l his 41-page statement were having
, equally explosive effect on college
i campuses across the nation.
; And Streit said the "commerclal
; ism” of college sports, that led to
; bribery began with football first
I and spread to basketball. He said
i his survey found:
SURVEY CONTENTS
1. At the University of Michigan
recently, 100 faculty members
charged a double standard was
used in crediting athletes and non
athletes for extra-curricular ac
tivities.
2. At William and Mary, “there
is the shocking situation of the
alteration of a preparatory school
transcript to admit an athlete.’
3. At Bradley University, "a spot
check of 15 athletes shows that
eight were majoring in physical
education and among the courses
for which credit was given were
handball, elementary swimming,
social dancing, football, and first
aid.’*
4. At Ohio State football players
were on the payrolls of state
agencies. »i
5. At Oklahoma, a senior foot
ball player was taking introduction
to geography, theories of basket
ball, swimming games, and volley

6. At Denver, the State Industrial
Commission ruled that former Den
ver U. football player Brad Ne
meth had been hired to play foot
ball and was entitled to disability
pay for his football injury.
7. The University' of Ttfts grants
100 athletic scholarships a year;
Texas A&M 120; SMU 154.
8. At the University of Maryland,

five front New Jersfey, and three
from Rhode Island.
TATUM. ANSWERS
In. response to this last observa
tion, Coach Jim-TKtum of the Uni
versity of Maryland admitted
Streit’s figures were correct but
defended them.
“We bring them athletes before
our scholarship »ard. and if they
pass, we give them books, tijtion,
room, board, and sls a month,”
said Tatum. “Sure we help them.
Everybody needs a Utile help new
and then. But lt*s no racket. If I
thought 1 was running a racket,
I’d quit right now.’
In the cant of, convicted basket
ball players Roth and cdien, Judge
Streit said candidates for admit
tance to CCNY must show high
marks in high school, and Streit
said that both Roth and Cohen
atcually were “ineUgitde” for the
