'Fix' Probe Fails to Point
Solution to Bribe Problem
, By MILTON RICHMAN
(United Preu Sport Writer)
J New York, Feb. 21 (U.R)Ev
ryone the district attorney,
"the defendants, the coaches and
the fans voiced a different the
jjory about the current basketball
jmess today but no one stepped
jforth with a solution.
Al Roth, one of three accused
JCity College players, shrugged
rnis snouiaers neipiessiy wnen
Jask'ed how he would get to the
core of the fix problem.
"I don't know where the trou-.-ble
lies," he mumbled dazedly.
;AU I know is that I got in it."
i Some of the coaches have said
"players leave themselves open to
unsavory offers when they go to
"resort hotels during the summer
.'to play ball and wait on tables,
r "Nahh," Roth replied. "Like I
Tsay, I don't know where the
--trouble is, but I'm pretty sure
Jit's not there."
There is a faction that claims
iMadison Square Garden is par
tially to blame because shady
'characters can get to players
tthere. Vice President Ned Irish
;heatedly denied that allegation
today.
j "Ours is one of the best po--liced
buildings in the country,"
'Irish said.
', "At every college game, we
-have a minimum of 24 special
'policemen on duty. There also
'are detectives in every part of
Jthe building during each game.
We have a list of known gam
iblers and they are not admitted.
! 'We value our reputations."
Howard Cann, New York uni
versity coach, agreed with Irish
and said he saw no solution in
(removing the game from Madi-
son Square Garden.
"Some years ago," Cann said,
'"we played our game in an up
town armory and do you know

James V. Giloon, graduate
manager of athletics at New

was nothing wrong that he

"Maybe I'm blind or deaf,"
said Giloon, "but I've never

Sports Editor
Provided Tips
To Break Case
New Vnrlc TTph 91 P A
New York sports editor provided
tne tip tnat helped the district
attorney break the latest bas
ketball scandal.
Frank S. Hogan, the district
attorney, said the information
came from Max Kase, sports
editor of the New York Journal
American., "I have now permission to re
veal that on Jan. 10, last, the
Journal-American and its sport
ing editor, Max Kase, warned
this office to keep a close watch
on a certain player on the Long
Island team," Hogan said.
"Kase told us that this player
would bear watching. As a result
of this tip, the investigation of
the district attorney, which was
getting nowhere, received a di
rectional steer which was most
productive."
Kase, in a story in the Journal-American,
wrote "the joint
effort dates back to Jan. 10
when I visited Hogan, in com
pany with Lewis Burton of this
sports department, and placed
vital information before him.
"... continuous, persistent
rumors of point-spread fixes
and outright dumps, prevalent
for years, were more intense
than ever after the 1950-51 bas
ketball campaign began. Vigor
ous inquiry was begun among
gamblers and basketball-wise
operators. Inevitably, we turned
up leads and tips."

Idaho Willing to
Meet LIU 'When
They're Honest'
Spokane, Feb. 21 W Coach
Finley says the University of
Idaho basketball team would be
happy to meet long island uni
versity again "when they're hon
est." LIU edged Idaho 59-57 in a
Christmas night game played at
Madison Square Garden. LIU
players admitted yesterday the
Idaho game was one of four in
which the scores were juggled.
"I thought they were lucky
to win," Finley told reporters
here. He said "LIU only beat
us in the final minute of play
on a very questionable foul."
"We'll be happy to meet LIU
again when they are honest,"
Finley added, "I don't think they
would do any better.'

The district attorney's office
said all eight received their
bribes from Salvatore T. Sol
lazzo, a Manhattan jewelry
manufacturer and ex-convict.
Sollazzo remained in jail to
day after State Supreme Court
Justice Samuel H. Hofstadter re'
fused yesterday his latest plea
for freedom on a habeas corpus
writ. He has been refused bail
During the hearing Soilaz
zo's pretty wife Jeanne, pulled
a mink coat around her shoul
ders and wept as the justice
told her husband:
"I can hardly see a more de
spicable crime the corruption
of youth at the very fountain
head." Rumors still persisted that Dis
trict Attorney Frank. S. Hogan
isn t finished with the sensa
tional college basketball expose
that has kept the sports world
tense since he first started ques
tioning players last Saturday
night.
Asked if he has two more
plavers in custody, Hogan said:
"There is no. basis for that
rumor at this time."
Another development yester-
day was Gov. Thomas E. Dewey's
demand that the maximum pris-
on sentence in New York state
for any one bribing or trying to
bribe an athlete be increased
from 5 to 10 years.
A bill to this effect was intro
duced immediately in the repub
lican-controlled legislature at
Albany, and democrats pledged
their support.
The mushrooming scandal
continued to bring statements
from some major schools that
they will not play further games
in Madison Square Garden. The
latest was from Denver univer
sity, which lost an allegelyl
"fixed" game to LIU two months
ago. Other schools said they will
continue to Dlav in the Garden.
Gard was the eighth and latest
to be brought into the current
scandal as a player. He previ
ously was charged as the contact
between the CCNY players and
Sallazzo. j.
But late yesterday the dis
trict attorney's office said
Gard also admitted accepting
bribes to "fix" three games in
which he played last season.
One was LIU's 80-52 invita
tional tournament upset loss to
Syracuse.
Gard's athletic eligibility ran
out on him this season, although
he was still enrolled at LIU.
However, three of his former
mates White, Smith and Bigos
are charged with carrying on
the "dumping" this season. Au
thorities said Smith was not in
volved last year.
Bigos had replaced Gard as
captain this year. White, one of
the nation's highest scorers, ap
peared headed for all-American
honors.
Bigos, White and Smith posted
S15.000 bail each and were re
leased late yesterday. Gard re
mained in protective custody at
his own request.

Warring Golf Pros
Reach Agreement
On Mexican Dispute
Houston, Tex., Feb. 21 (P)
All was serene today among the
hitherto warring professional
golfers and the Houston open
will go on with Jimmie Dem-
art and other players penalized
for a defiant trip to Mexico
swinging their clubs as usual.
An agreement was reached
last night with Lawson Little,
PGA tournament committee co
chairman. Under it nine linkes
men, fined for participating in
the Mexican national open,' will
pay up and be eligible to play
here. But they'll get a hearing
before the full committee when
all seven members can be got
ten together.
Some 50 tournament layers
held a four-hour session ,'rom
which the press was excluded.
Afterward a statement was is
sued that the penalized players
would pay under protest and be
given a hearing at a future date.
It ended a controversy of al
most two weeks. It started at
San Antonio during the Texas
open when four members of the
committee Leland Gibson,
Horton Smith, Dave Douglas
and Clayton Heafner issued
a statement that approved play
ers were prohibited from par
ticipating at Mexico City.
Reasons given were that the
Mexican open was not a PGA-
co-sponsored .tournament, con
flicted with the co-sponsored
Rio Grande Valley open at Har
lingen last week and was not a
"major championship."
The Mexican golf assocoation
charged a run-out on an agree
ment: Smith said Mexico had
"raided" American players.
Eleven American golfers play
ed at Mexico City, nine of whom
came under the PGA ban. ,

will be studied at our sessions
here."
Hamilton believes there is a
50-50 chance for a renewal of
the pact with the Tournament of
Roses association. The Big Ten
already has given unofficial ap
proval of a renewal of its part
of the pact. Final decision of the
PCC rests in the hands of the
faculty representatives and col
lege presidents.
'I believe all our men have an
open mind on the subject," said
Hamilton. "I know I'm still in
a quandary about the future of
post-season games."
He said that the discussion of
the pact definitely was not aim
ed as a political move against
the Big Ten.
"There have been rumors that
we are tired of being pushed
around by the Big Ten," Hamil
ton admitted, "and are using this
method of putting them in their
place.
"Nothing could be farther
from the truth. Our relations
with the Big Ten have been ami
cable and we are well satisfied,
"I would also like to point out
that we have no criticism of the
men handling the Rose Bowl
They are fine gentlemen."
Hamilton said that he would
be opposed to a proposed post
season game between the cham
pions of the Big Ten and the
PCC a week ;or two after the
regular season ended.
"It would be nearly impossible
to administer such a game," he
said. "It takes us going at full
speed five or six weeks to set up
the handling of the Rose Bowl,
How could we ever do the same
thing in a week or two?"
Hamilton said that the possl
bility. that the professionals
might be asked into the Rose
Bowl if the PCC bowed out has
been considered by the PCC men
at the recent Riverside meetings.
The new sessions, to be held
in the Clift hotel here, will have
an open agenda.
The return of the wartime
rule that allowed freshman ath
letes to compete in varsity con
tests may be brought in,to the
discussion. Also, there is a pos-
siDimy tnat the banned televi
sion may come before the group
again.

San Francisco, Feb. 21 (PI-
Ezzard Charles may be the
heavyweight title holder but
the old ex-champ, Joe Louis,
still packs the biggest box of
fice wallop. At least around
here.
Louis fights Andy Walker
in a 10-rounder this Friday
night and the huge Cow Pal
ace already is a sell-out. That
means approximately 16,000
fans will see the bout.
It's another warm - up in
Louis' campaign to get back
into the ring with Charles for
a return championship fight.
Who is Walker? The latest
opponent for the Brown Bomb

cal heavy. He recently won
the California championship.
The only time he fought out of
the state was in 1948, in Ta

Among the 16,000 who will
cram the pavilion will be
hundreds who haven't turned
out for a boxing contest in
years. They want to be able
to say they saw the former
champion in action. In con
trast they probably wouldn't
