PAGE SIX Televising Bon Trial Continues PHILADELPHIA HP The Justice Department made it clear today it has no quarrel with pro fessional football clubs which don't want to televise their games, but it charged the National Football League’s TV policy deprives mem ber teams of their "freedom of individual choice.” The government’s stand was outlined by counsel W. Perry Epes at the opening of the anti-trust trial of the NFL and its 12 mem ber teams in U. S. District Court here Monday. The government called television and radio researchers to testify to day in its attempt to prove that the league’s TV and broadcasting restrictions violate the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. The witnesses were summoned to give testimony on the scope of television and radio. The trial is expected to last at least six wfceks. with sessions held Monday through Thursday. Judge Allan K. Grim is hearing the case without a jury. Epes told the court Monday that the Justice Department is not "at tempting to force teams to tele vise their games." “We are attacking this thing as an illegal combination, a conspi racy, an agreement among the clubs that takes away freedom of individual choice,” he said. Outcome of the case is expected to have sweeping effect on all sports telecasting. The Justice De partment has indicated it will move against other sports’ tele vising "blackouts” if it wins this test case.

PHONE 2257 PHIL HARRIS A.MS GOOD BUT- By AIEX J. MORRISON Author of "A Neio Way to Better Qolf,” Teacher of Champions PHIL HARRIS, star of radio, screen and television, has more than made his mark as an enter tainer. In person, offstage, I be lieve that he’s quite a guy; at least I’ve always found him so around the clubhouse and on the course. Never have I caught him mak ing any effort to be himself. Be ing perfectly natural seems to be second nature for him. This qual ity in an outstanding humorist spells many moments on the lighter side for his friends and acquaintances. However, he has a mighty seri ous side when facing that little white dimpled ball. No golfer tries harder to build himself up to top performance. When it is his turn to play Phil turns on every bit of determina tion he has. He concentrates on the things he hopes will afford him success, so that only partial success or failure leaves him just plain flabbergasted. * * * OF COURSE he labors under considerable handicaps. One is the attitude his followers. In golf they expect him to be just as suc cessful as he has been in the field of entertainment. Then he made a big reputation for himself as a putter a couple of years ago. Playing in the Pro-A mat eu r Crosby tournament at Pebble Beach, Phil sank one from the edge of the green to win top money for his team. Trying to duplicate this per formance on the greens Phil has adopted a method of aiming. As shown in the accompanying photo he sights the line of his putt by holding the shaft of his putter in a vertical position between his eye and the ball. Copynght by King Feature* Syndicate, Inc . Eddie Leßaron Receives Honor PHILADELPHIA HPI Eddie Leßaron. who came back from the fighting in Korea to play out standing football with the Wash-1 ington Redskins despite two com bat wounds, today held the title of the most courageous athlete of 1952. The five-foot, nine-inch backfield j ac» won the cheers of a crowd of j nearly 1.200 when he received the award Monday night from the Philadelphia Sports Writers Asso- wm ■* * / I 9 Jovial Phil Harris ranks with the best when it comes to aiming. He sights from behind a vertical put ter to line up his putts. Since his aim is perfect he can't understand why his shots aren't equally goad. If you're having trouble about getting the line between your ball and the cup you might try Phil’s method. It should also indicate how much to allow for a slope in the green. Obviously, it can’t do much to help you judge the length of the putt. Phil. says. “It’s Just for your putting.

COUNTY GAMES TONIGHT Anderson Creek at Liillngton Angier At LaFayette Benhaven at Erwin Buies Creek at Coats Boone Trail at Dunn Spivey Trial Is Deadlocked And Dismissed NEW YORK 4P The jury in ! the perjury trial of former All- America basketball star Bill Spivey j reported today that it was “hope lessly deadlocked” afterlll0 1 ’> horns : trying to reach a verdict and was dismissed by Judge Saul S. Streit. | No date has yet been set for a , new trial. The jury, consisting of eight : men and four women, began its deliberations at 11:20 a. m. Mon-: day. It twice re-visited the court room for further inst-uetions and took two intermissions for meals ; At 1:28 am. today Judge Streit! summoned the jury and declared I it had taken “a long time to reach a simple decision." The jury then reported the dead ! lock and was dismissed. Spivey, a seven-foot giant, was ‘charged with lying to a grand jury investigating the basketball “fixing” scandal when he denied that he ever “fixed” games while a player at the University of Kentucky or even discussed “fixing” prior to any games. The 23-year-old sports star took the stand in his own defense and again denied he took part in or had any knowledge of “fixing.” The prosecution, on the other hand, presented two of Spivey’s for i mer teammates as witnesses—Wal | ter Hirsch and Jim Line. Both testified that Spivey had taken part in “fixing” the Kentucky-St. Louis ■j games played during the Sugar Bowl tournament in December. 1950. In charging the jury Monday i morning. Judge Streit said the jury j either had to believe Hirsch and I ine. and thus find Spivey guilty, ior to believe Spivey and acquit him. This was the “simple decision’ the jurors were unable to agree upon. It was learned that -‘he final vote taken by the jury was 9 to 3 in [ favor of acquittal, and one juror i said that this score was “almost identical" with the first vote taken many hours earlier. Spivey’s attorney, John Young Brown, said his next move would be to ask formallv for dismissal of the indictment. If that should fall, he would then ask for an immed iate re-trial _ FIGHT RESULTS By UNITED PRESS CHICAGO Waldo Fusaro. 144, Rome. Italy, outpointed Nate Hus | key, 44, Detroit (S').

Boone j Trail beat Dunn at Boone Trail in Dunn opening contest! and the locals will be seeking revenge tonight. The Dunn girls were in rare form Friday night a- j gainst little competition but tonight they’ll have their j hands full. Boone Trail beat the bewildered Dunn lassies j in thejr opening contest by a decisive 20 point margin 55 ! to 35. The Dunn girls have come a long way since that fate- ! ful night and Boone Trail will never in this world get a 20 point victory tonight, in fact they’ll be lucky to win at all. Boone Trail won at Boone Trail and playing at home is supposed to be a ten point advantage for any team—you can account the other ten points to first game jitters. Dunn will have to overcome superior height to beat Boone Trail as the Boone Trail girls got most of the rebounds in the two team’s first meeting. As I- said before the Dunn j girls have come a long way since that first contest winning j four games from Angier, Anderson Creek, Coats and Buies i Creek, losing two other contests to Benhaven and Lilling ton, and gaining a tie with La Fayette. Tonight will be a j test for the Dunn girls which will show just how much they j have improved since that first contest. The starting lineup for Dunn will probably be Betsy I Lee, Katherine White, and Martha Ann Butler at the for- [ ward positions and Mary Leu Westbrook, Jean Sorrell and Katherine Butt at guards. I think the Dunn girls are ca-j pable of winning this game provided that they have a fair-1 ly decent night shooting, but in any event it should be a pretty close contest. With eight games under their belt the Waves will be I raring to start the last eight games' of the schedule with a win over the team that defeated them in their first con-: test. The Boone Trail boys downed the local boys 53 to 40 in that contest. Dunn looked good in defeating Buies Creek Friday night, as good as they have looked at any time soi far this season and that win evened their record up 4-4. Boone Trail has a good boys team, one of the best in the county, they defeated Erwin in a close contest Friday nite 60 to 57. In that first contest with Boone Trail Coach Wag goner played his entire bench in an effort to find the five boys who could work together best on the floor and all fif teen boys played at least a quarter. He found a combina tion which works pretty good and he has found his best substitutes since that first contest and I believe there will ■ be an altogether different contest tonight when the two teams meet. The local boys have won all three of their home contests and they are capable of getting the fourth home win tonight if they continue to show the improve ment that they have shown in the last couple of games. The starting lineup for Coach Waggoner’s boys will probably be Skeet Carr and Russell Carter at guards, Mack Turlington at center, and Daley Goff and Bobby Day God win at forwards. Corbett Hartley looked good in a practice scrimmage yesterday and he may see action at one of the forward positions. Robert Pope could get mto the lineup on the basis of his outstanding play in the Buies Creek game. The Dunn boys want this one pretty badly and when you want something badly enough you can usually get it. DUNN ARMORY ROOF FINALLY REPAIRED Ah! There’s good news today—the Dunn Armory roof has finally been repaired—at least we hope so. The Nation al Guard said it would be fixed around the first of the year and they came through. Dunn has been extremely fortu nate so far this season that they haven’t had a game rain out for every time it rained the Armory was transformed into an Aquarium. But now the crevices have been retarred and everybody is happy—all Dunn needs now is a new gym! TLOEDO, O.
