Scandal threatened to knock the sport right out of college, and at year's end the story isn't finished. Seven schools are now connected to the mess: City College of New York, Long Island University, New York University, Manhattan, Ken lucky, Bradley arid Toledo. Br; be- master was Salvatore T. Sollaxzo. He is now serving a jail sentence from eight to 16 years. Most of the players got off with fines and suspended sentences, but Sherman White, last year the top player in the country, is now serv ing a year in jail. Kentucky was voted the top team in the country, winning 32 out of ."4 games, and taking the NCAA for i Hie 'third time. . .; I '4 y m mi p "iTf t7 J fty HANK MESKinc ' ANY of you folks like cross word puzzles? Then maybe ' you'd enjoy trying to crowd the name, Crabtree-Iron Duff, into a headline one column wide. Not that it is impossible,' but, when. you try to say something else too it does become a bit difficult. So, to avoid the difficulty, we decided to shorten the name a bit, Various combinations suggested themselves: Crabirop, Icontree, Treeduff, and others, but we finally decided that Cjabduff was dignified, fair enough to communities, and short. The new term was used in jonday's paper, and the reaction was dignified, fair enough And a short, "No, thank you." All readers who objected" are Jiereby informed that no ulterior motive, no sinister purpose, m contemptible objective was involved. ' The word "Crab y is hereby retracted and replaced with the approved i 'Crabtree," or, when something shorter is needed, "C-l-D." j - By the way. folks.
