The opening round Friday night
is a sellout and even the scalpers
are complaining they cant find

The Sugar Bowl basketball tour
ney" has grown in popularity and
prominence in recent seasons- and
this year's field appears as evenly
matched as the New Year's day
grid tussel between Tennessee and
Maryland the nation's No. 1 and
S ranked elevens.
Villa nova's entire squad is back
from last season led by Larry
Hennessey, a six foot three for

year as a sophomore for an all
time collegiate mark for one sea
son." Wildcats Lose Snivey

center Bill Spivey.
(Spivey, All-America center and
one of Kentucky's all-time bas
ketball greats, said today he has
been removed from the univer
sity's eligibility last at his own
request because of "false and ma
licious rumors" linking him with
the college basketball bribery
scandals. Spivey has not played
this winter because of a knee in
Jury.) Brigham Young is missing Cen
ter Mel Hutchins and Forward
Roland Minson from last year's
N.I.T. team, but don't worry the
Utah five is still plush with talent.
Forward Joe Richey has averaged
better than IS points a game this
fall.
St. Louis Billkens have earned
some of their finest basketball vic
tories in the Sugar Bowl and
Coach Eddie Hickey said "We're
returning for the third time in four
years without misgivings of any
kind."

the New York district attorney's
office desires to question, and I
wish to stop the vicious rumors
being circulated in regard to my
teammates and to remove any sus

Release of Spivey's letter came
less than a week after Vincent O'
Connor, assistant New York dis
trict attorney, and members of his
staff conducted a five-day inves
tigation here into an alleged bas
ketball "fix" case.
Spivey, one of the school's all
time great cage players, denied
ever receiving any money from
anyone at any place or at any
time for "shaving" points or fix

Last week Young estimated
5,000 Canada geese were using the
reservoir as a resting area and
flying to nearby farm lands to
graze. The rye grass was seeded
on 36 acres of land in the north
east corner of the reservoir. Last
month the game commission ob
tained title to this tract through
the U. S. general services admin
istration in Seattle.
Gibson island and several strips
along the shore line of the reser
voir leased . by the commission
from the army? engineers were
planted with 5300 pounds of fall
barley.' -
The brief stopover of migrant
ducks and geese in the Willamette
valley is due in part to a lack of
food .and resting areas. Game
agents reason that provision of
smaU t Cyway refuges and food
plantings will help hold the birds
and provide better hunting.
