B. t5ordon for conspir ing to fix their figlit at San An tonio, Tex., which never was staged. Aragon was suspended indefi nitely; Goldstein .for 30 days. At Austin, Commissioner Mor gan said that, after lie detector tests, "Aragon admitted to me that he did arrange with Goldstein to take a dive. He asked me to be lenient with him. I told him I could not promise him any thing." Explaining the attempted fix, Morgan said the Aragon-Goldstein negotiations were made In Los An geles, where Aragon promised to light Goldstein in San Antonio, if Goldstein would "take a dive in the third or fourth round." Morgan said Aragon guaranteed Coldstein $500 for the perform ance, but insisted upon Goldstein first giving him $500 as a forfeit that Goldstein would lose as prom ised. After the fight, Aragon was to give back the $500 forfeit plus the $5U0 pay to his opponent. "Goldstein agreed entirely, Morgan said. "He came to- San Antonio and the promoter there advanced Goldstein $500 on his purse." But Goldstein refused to entrust the $500 to Aragon. And when Aragon put pressure on him, Goldstein went to the police and told the whole story. He also ar ranged for detectives to listen to a Goldstein-Aragon phone conver sation and see them meet in an alley. Woodard Takes Post at Wichita WICHITA, Kan. (UP) Chalmer R.

(UP) The rigger-man in the Iowa football attack is a 180-pound quarterback who his coach recently compared to Iowa's greatest football player the immortal Nile Kinnick. Kenny Ploen, Clinton, Iowa, senior has an impish grin and an apparent playful attitude. But on the football field he's a tremendous competitor, special izing in defense and the pass-run option play. He's also an honor student. Kinnick, All-America halfback on the famous Iowa "Iron Men" of 1939, was a straight A student and a triple-threat back. He was killed during World War II when his plane crashed at sea. Ploen comes as close to Kin nick as anyone I've seen," ac cording to Iowa Coach Forest EvashevskL "He s a fine leader and an outstanding competitor." Quick Reacting -Ploen, an engineering student who came to Iowa on a "Kinnick scholarship," mostly warmed the bench behipd Jerry Reichow his first two seasons. He is heady and quick-react ing. He is not exceptionally fast although he was state high school high hurdles champion. Early in the season, Ploen and other Hawkeye backs suffered from fumbleitis, losing the ball 12 times in five games. But as the season progressed, Ploen steadied his mates and they gave up the ball only two times in the last four games. Ploen ha mastered the quarter back option. His favorite receiver is end Jim Gibbons, who caught short passes that gave Iowa a 7-0 win over Minnesota and set up the touchdown In a 6-0 win over Ohio State. . - . Evashevski credits Ploen with winning the Purdue game by fak ing two .blockers and cutting through to tackle fullback Mel Dillard after a long run, Iowa won, 21-20. . . Starred Agaiiwt Notre Dame His best game was Iowa's 48-8 triumph over Notre Dame. Ploen ran for touchdowns of 10 and 41 yards, passed 23 yards for an other, and set up a fourth with a 33-yard scamper. Ironically, his worst game was against Oregon State, the club Iowa will meet in the Rose Bowl in the first re-match in the 10 year history of the Big Ten Pacific Coast agreement. 'We couldnt seem to do any thing right in that one," Ploen said. Ploen didn't carry the ball once and threw only three passes. One was intercepted and the other two were incomplete. He left the game in the second quarter with a hip injury. Iowa went on to win, 14-13, on two final period passes.

Mom TERMS IITEf Bell Satisfied No Plot Existed To 'Get' Layne PHILADELPHIA (UP) Nation al Football League Commissioner Bert Bell was satisfied today that Washington Redskins halfback Norb Hecker never heard of, or was party to-a plot to "get" Bobby Luyne of the Detroit Lions or any other player. Bell came to his conclusion aft er tossing five $64,000 questions at the veteran Hecker after asking Redskins officials to bring him to their office telephone. He got a "no answer each time. The commissioner made his call in the wake of Layne s injury from a tackle by Eddie Meadows in the Lions-Bears game last Sunday, and a Washington newspaper's quoting Hecker that whan he play ed for Los Angeles there was- a money pool among the Rams to see who could "get" quarterback Layne. . Bell, already riled at grumblings of "dirty football" from owners, coaches and players, repeated that "no National Football League player would try maliciously to in jure another." He said he sum moned Hecker "to get the answers from the 'boy himself." Bell asked Hecker whether he knew of the Rams' players having a pool to get Layne, or any other player, out of a game; whether he took part in a pool among the Rams to get Layne or any ball player out of game, whether he knew of any player or players who maliciously contemplated" knock ing another player out of a game, and whether he, personally, ever contemplated injuring another player to get him out of a game. Bell said Hecker gave him a nega tive reply each time. - "I don't want to get into any controversy or argument over what a newspaperman is writing," Bell said. "Nor do I want any player saying he was misquoted. I simply asked Hecker the questions I want to know. He gave me the answers." . Tobin Rote May Quit Green Bay HOUSTON, Tex. (UP)-Quarter-back Tobin Rote is ready to quit calling signals for the Green Bay Packers but he hinted that money could change his mind. 'Rote, who completed his seventh season with the Packers last week, announced his retirement from pro football but qualified It by adding, "unless my wile changes her mind.' "It's all up to Betsy," he said. We have . three children and an other on the way and she says she doesn't want to go back to Green Bay next year. She just doesn't want to move every year. As far as I m concerned I m through," he added. "Salary will have something to do with whether I return, of course. I wouldn't take a cut and I won't go back for what-1 got last year.'!
