College Basketball Bribe Probe
ay Reach Massive Proportions
Br JOE SARGIS
New York-IUPD-Dist. Atty.
1 Frank S. Hogan, whose inves-
. tigatlon of "fixed" college bas
ketball games . already has
netted 11 players from six
schools, said today the inquiry
is moving full steam ahead
amid growing speculation it
may reach massive propor
tions. . .
Thursday, Hogan revealed
; the names of nine more play
ers in addition to the two
, named on March 17 when the
current investigation was first
announced. The D.A. said the
nine players from schools in
the East and South were paid
more than $28,000 collective
ly to shave points in a total
of 25 games during the past
two seasons.
:' In revealing their identity,
Hogan also named five go-
- betweens who worked with
gambler Aaron Wagner in so
liciting the aid of nine play
ers to rig the outcome of the
games in which their schools
were involved. Wagman, a 28-year-old
New Yorker, first
was brought in and charged
- with bribery six weeks ago
. along with Joseph Hacken,
also of New York;
Wagman was arraigned
Thursday and pleaded inno
cent to 37 charges of bribery
and attempted bribery plus a
charge of conspiracy. Each
count' carries ' a prison sen
tence of one to 10 years plus
a fine of $10,000.
': Eight Dismissed
; The players named Thurs-
: day by Hogan, eight of whom
have been dismissed irom
their schools while the ninth
has been suspended, were:
John Egan, Vlnce Kempton
and Frank Majewskl of St.
Joseph's college in Philadel
phia; Edward Bowler of La
Salle in ' Philadelphia; Jerry
Graves of Mississippi State;
Peter Kelly and Glen Cross of
the University of Connecticut;
