Fears Being "Captive" Spivey Pleads Innocent Eiasketball Fix Charges NEW YORK (JPyEM Spivey, Kentucky's towering former All America star, pleaded innocent Monday to any part of the big basket ball fix scandal. His attorney said he gave himself up voluntarily to answer per jury charges rather than be treat- I 'Hot' Rainiers Face Beavers ed like a "Roman captive In chains." General Sessions Judge Fran cis L. Valente released the seven foot Spivey on $2,500 bond to await trial. Spivey was accused by the state of talking with a fixer about rigging scores before almost every game at the height of the 1950 51 Kentucky cage season. NEW YORK (F- The lawyer for two alleged basketball fixers indicated Monday he would try to prove that "conditions of immor ality" and an alleged bribe con spiracy existed long before his clients came onto the scene. The state said it would prove that Joseph Benintende, 42, and Jack Zip West, 39, conspired to bribe players on the Bradley Uni versity and university of Ken tucky teams. The state also promised testi mony by star basketbal players of the 1949-1950 season already sentenced for accepting bribes on their dealings with the two defendants. PITCHERS' G Mclrvin. Vic 7 Card.
