So far only the names of two players questioned have come to light-Art Hicks and Henry (Hank) Gunter of Scion hall-and both names were or iginally disclosed by the school and not the D. A.'s of fice. - The identity of a third play er, from the University of Connecticut, still has not been made known. No Charges Thus far no charges have been brought against any player and the only men un der arrest are two New York ers accused of giving bribes 28 -year -old Aaron Wagman and 41-year-old Joseph Hack-en, The 1951 basketball scan- are not to be condemned; they dais involved 32 players from I are to be treated with compas- seven schools.

MUFFLERS GASKETS TAIL PIPES DUALS WELDING (Gas and Electric) TRAILER HITCHES INSTALLED 15 MINUTE INSTALLATION FREE PICKUP AND DELIVERY FREE CHECKUP Seton Hall coach Richie Regan said that, if it were shown that any of his players had accepted bribes, "I'll stand behind them, even though they let me down and let the school down." Cooperating Hicks and Gunter were re ported still closeted with New York police officials in a New York hotel, and it was under stood they were cooperating with the investigation. Wagman and Hacken were arraigned Friday, with bail of $25,000 being set on Hacken and $50,000 on Wagman. Both men were involved in previous "fixing" incidents. Wagman, whom the charges allege "conspired to bribe, and in fact did bribe" a University of Connecticut player, previ ously was sentenced to a five year Jail term for trying to bribe a University of Florida football player last year. He was free on bail pending an appeal in that case when he became involved in the new scandal. This time he is ac cused of giving the unidenti fied U-Conn. player a $1,500 bribe to control the "point spread," the margin between the two teams, in the March 1 game at Hamilton, N. Y., which Connecticut lost to Col gate, 83-71. Hacken is accused of offer ing $1,000 bribes-"that were received" - to several Seton hall players to control the point spread in the Feb. 9 game at Madison Square Gar den, which Seton hall lost to Dayton, 112-77. Hacken was linked by authorities with an attempt to fix a fight in 1954 involving Joey Giardello and Bobby Jones.
