- : . . - . I. , ' ;. - V k "1 Although the NCAA basketball rules and interpretations clinic at St. Louis involved the ins and outs of the cage sport mostly, quite a bit of between-shifts discussion on football was woven into the two , - ., . v , - . v day confab by the various attend- ing commissioners. All 10 NCAA conferences were represented, and all 10 representativs forecast a ra- ther bleak future for the touch t down game if; legislation of a se- rious nature isn't forthcoming soon. The men feel that de-emphasis of the sport is necessary to some ex I tent. But not unlike the fellow as Z signed to finding the needle in the haystack, they aren't in agreement as to' just where to begin. All do agree that platoon system may be okeh for the big schools, but that it is amounting to the road to ruin for the smaller units. They point to the great number of schools that have already dropped football for .. i. .i ... i " 4 all the nroof thev need. JOHNNY O Additional evils of the platoon system were pointed out as being (1) the necessity of hiring addition al coaching help to handle the various specialized portions of offense and defense and (2) the necessity of having larger squads or fsnn!) subsidized players. Time was when a head coach and one or possibly two assistants managed to do all the work. Nowadays some schools have a, -loach for just about every position, a couple of scouts, a staff of managers, a road secretary, a statistician ana a lew oiner various and sundries. That is. if the school is playing big time football. All were in accord with the belief that the platoon rule would be junked during the next session of the NCAA, a step toward the hope that the college sport will return to normalcy. There was additional talk concerning the abolishment of spring practice as a means of de- emphasis. But most agreed that it will be hard to get a majority vote aimed at curbing the April-May drills. i Wrd Plan9 Still Hot Topic in Midweti The midwest is still chattering ever the Arch Ward (Chicago Tribune) plan U deliver a kaye blow to proselyting, the plan bc iag te rotate coaches from one school to another each year., All Mem to agree that the plan certainly has merit, hot are quick to laugh it off when the seriousness of such a startling move is resi tted. - .' i . i i . One can get the idea of how the Ward plan would-work by ; visualizing" Cal's Pappy Waldorf moving to Idaho next year, Idaho's Babe Curfman going to California, Washington's Hqwie Odell moving to WSC, and so on right down' the line. Amazing, and also quite con fusing. Youd be able to hear the Berkeley howl clear up here should its owners be forced to trade Waldorf for CurfmanJ But at the same time it should be reminded that Curfman might do just as good a job as Waldorf at Cal were he to have all those horses at his disposal . . . Cmtchy Johnny O Will Help Lure All-America - . - ' ; - U ! ' ' Speaking ef the Cal Bean, the Bay area papers don't call the fuUbacklng demon Johnny Olszewski by that name any more? It's "Johnny O" and It's catching est like fire. A UC co-ed is given credit for Inventing the .catchy nickname, and If the burly 200 peander lands an All-America berth hell have i the lass to thank for her assist. The label, Johnny O. gives Olszewski a running start toward an All-Amerk rating. People the country' ever who cant spell, prononnce or remember Olszewski writers, coaches and coats included take readily to Johnny O. I The nickname was born a year ago when the' gaL a typist in the UC administration office, penned a note to Will Connolly of the SF Chronicle suggesting that the i ports writers adopt Johnny O as' the answer to their search for a misnomer to replace j the difficult and lengthy Olszewski (pronounced Ol-shev-ski, with accent on middle syllable). The suggestion caught on immediately ;and it's since been Johnny O. " - -r - ' f: j " ' " -And in playing for the outfit that he does, 'tis a dead cinch that Johnny O will be one portion of just about everyone's All-America team when selection time arrives in December . . .

If Ever hear ef one player leading three leagues in batting dur ing the same season? Pitcher Bob Hegue of the New York Yan kees might wind up with such distinction for 1S51. While with the Boston Braves, before being purchased by the Yanks. Hogue was at bat twice and got one hit for a .509 mark. The Yankees sent him first to Kansas City where in one time; at bat he got one hit for 1.0 OS average. Then after being called up to the Bomber var sity later on, Hogue was at bat twice and gat one binrle. Another .Sea. mark. - - '1 M Consequently when the final National. American and American Association averages for '51 come out, all may carry the name Hogue right on top As EKp -OTliiDDdlilnlS Groza, Beard Admit Bribes Dale Barnstable Also Held by Authorities CHICAGO, Oct. 20) -CPV- The spreading collegiate basketball fix scandal today engulfed the uni versity of Kentucky's fabulous 1948-49 team one of the greatest in,, the history' of the sport. Investigators from the New York district attorney's office seized the two former All-Amer ica greats, Alex Groza and Ralph Beard, in Chicago, and ex-Ken tucky team captain Dale Barn stable In Louisville. After questioning, the investiga tors said, the three early today admitted accenting 1500 bribes each to shave the point spread in a 1949 invitational tournament game March 14.1949 in Madison Square Garden, New York.. Loyola of Chicago, underdog by around 10 points in that game, shipped Kentucky 67-58 in a stun ning upset. - Conviction of accepting a bribe carries a maximum penalty of a five year jail sentence in New York. 24 Players Involved The fix scandal now has impli cated at least 34 players from seven teams. Other schools in volved are Bradley, Toledo, CCNY, Manhattan, Long Island and New York U. Groza, six foot, 7 inch center, and Beard, a guard, were arrested last night at the Chicago stadium where they watched the Roch ester (N. Y.) Royals defeat the College All-Stars. Their old men tor, Adolph Rupp, Kentucky's basketball coach, directed the All Stars. Assistant District Attorney Vin cent A. G. O'Connor of New York took them to the criminal courts building where they confronted Nick (The Greek) Englisis and Nat Brown gamblers under in dictment in New York on charges of game fixing. O'Connor ques tioned the former players for sev en hours and then announced that both had admitted receiving bribes in the Kentucky-Loyola game. He told newsmen: - "The fixers Insisted the payoff in the Kentucky-Loyola game was $2,000 with Groza getting $1,000 and the other two $500 each. The gamblers said the only other point shaving was in Kentucky-Tennessee (Cont.
