life of our dry."
The trustees said they were
hocked by revelations of players
taking bribes to fix games and
are concerned with the broader
lmDlications Involved insofar
both the boys and their families
re concerned.
However, fullest confidence was
expressed by the board in the
LIU basketball coach, Clair F. Bee.
Charging of the eight cage stars
was the fourth cage scandal since
1945 and outdid by far the prev
ious ones. Whether other New
York teams would follow the lead
of LJU in ending intercollegiate
day remained to be seen.
Three of the LIU players were
arrested today after an all-night
erillinz by the district attorney,
The fourth, who played last year
but not this season, was arrested
earlier and broke open the LIU
ease, authorities said.
Authorities said the four play
ers admitted fixing seven games
three ast year and four this sea
son. and one of them in the na
tional invitation tournament. They
aid the last came they fixed was
on Jan. 4 when LIU played Bowl
ing Green.
Finally, the players were quot
ed as saying, they sickened of the
deal and shrugged off further
tainted money to go straight
month ago.
The latest three players nabbed
In the spreading betting coup in
eluded Sherman White, 22-year-
old Negro forward and the na
tion's leading scorer. The gangling
tar was regarded as a cinch for
All-America honors this year
Charged "with bribery along with
White were LIU'S other star for
ward and- team captain, Adolph
Bigos, 25, and LeRoy Smith, 21,
classy Negro guard.
They were held in $15,000 bail
each.
District Attorney Frank S. Ho
gan said the three cracked under
night long questioning and finally
admitted their part in-the seven
LIU fixes.
The fourth LIU man involved
was Edward Gard, said by Hogan
to have been bribed first when
he played on the LIU squad last
season.
He is accused of drawing his
three teammates into the setup
Then, with his playing days
over. Gard was accused of acting
as a go-between to help bribe
stayers from other schools.
Besides the four LIU players,
four from other schools have been
ai rested since the scandal broke
Sunday.
Seized then were three mem
bers of City college's "Cinderella'
team of last season which swept
to the national invitation and
NCAA championships for basket
ball's first and only grand slam.
The three were Ed Warner, rank
ed in "1950 as one of the nation's
top players, Ed Roman and Al
Roth. The fourth player was
NYUs rfarvey (Connie) Schaff.
All of the cage stars, Hogan said,
admitted 'shaving points" in re
turn for Lribes to beat the "point
spreads" designated by bookmak
ers. The district attorney said that
even LIU games, including three
Elayed last season, were involved
i the fixing plot.
The playoffs per player for each
of the fixed games ranged from
$1,250 to $500, Hogan said, with
$1,000 per player per game being
the average.
Hogan said the plot eventually
backfired on its alleged master
mind and "money man," Salvatore
T. Sollazz and his go-between,
Edward Gard-;
Sollazzo, I jewelry manufacturer
and ex-convict, also was named as
the man who allegedly bribed the
other four' players arrested Sun
day. ' Hogan said that after the sev
enth game involved in the con
spiracy played Jan. 4 against
Bowling Green, with LIU meeting
the specified six point spread ex
actly in winning 69-63 -all three
LIU players "resolutely agreed"
not to have anything more to do
with the pint.
The three kept their agreement,
the district attorney said, despite
the insistence of Sollazzo.
"Sollazzo took an awful lick
ing," Hogan asserted, referring to
the -Jan. 18 game in which LIU
beat Duquesne 84 to 52. LIU was
tie favorite.
The six other games affected
-by the "fix," Hogan said, were:
LIU vs. North Carolina State,
Jan. 17, 1950, won by North Caro-
,lina State. 55 to 52.
LIU vs. Cincinnati, Feb. 23, 1950,
won by Cincinnati, 83 to 65.
LIU vs. Syracuse. March 11
1950, first -round of the national
in vita lion tournament. Syracuse
won 80 to 52.
LIU vs. Kansas State, Dec 2,
1950. won by LIU 60 to 59.
LIU vs. Denver, Dec 7, 1950,
won by LIU 53 to 56.
LIU vs. Idaho. Dec 25. 1950,
Won by LIU 59 to 57.

Senators Buy
Hurler Sporer
Bus Sporer, for two seasons a
pitcher for the Salem Senators be
fore being traded in 1949 to Yak
ima for Bob Drilling, has been
purchased conditionally by the
Salems from the Yaks, it was an
nounced Tuesday by Mike Radan,
Senators business manager. "The
deal hinges upon whether Sporer
will report," Radan added.
When with the Salems before,
the Roseburg righthander had
plenty of stuff but was decidedly
wild. At the same time Drilling
was having a tough time winning
for Yakima. Following the trade
Drilling became a winner here,
and last season was classed as a
prize rookie in the Coast league
with Portland's Beavers.
Sporer's purchase price was not
announced. He stayed out of pro
fessional baseball last season and
pitched for Roseburgs independ
ent team. Bus was one of the star
hurlers in the State Semi pro tour
ney at Silverton.

"I thought they were lucky to
win," Finley said. "We went to
the front right from the start and
LIU only beat us in the final min
