RIGGING CONSPIRACY DENIED Atlanta, Ga. -IUPII- Former University of Georgia Athle tic Director Wally Butts and Alabama football coach Paul Bear Bryant Saturday denied that they conspired to rig the result of the Georgia-Alaban.a game played last fall. Butts said in a statement Issued through his attorney that the charge, made in a Saturday Evening Post arti cle, "is the most fantastic thing that I can imagine" while Bryant said he will bring a libel suit against the magazine. The charge is made in a Saturday Evening Post story scheduled to reach newsstands on March 19. The story was released by Davis Thomas, managing editor of the maga zine, Friday night. Alabama, a 17-point favor ite, defeated Georgia, 35-0, in the game which was played September 22, 1962. The source of the story is George Burnett of Atlanta, Ga., who, -the Post article said; accidentally overheard a telephone conversation in which Butts gave Bryant Georgia's plays and outlined its offensive formations. In his statement, Butts said: ". . . To charge me with giving away offensive or defense sec rets or plays of a Georgia team to an opposing coach prior to a game is the most fantastic and ridiculous thing that I can imagine. I empha tically and categorically deny these charges." In his statement, Bryant said: "Conversation between opposing athletic directors and coaches prior to a football game is common practice The charge against Mr. Butts of collusion in the game is matters to my attorneys, Wil. simply false. I referred the Ham F. Pritchard and Win ston B. McCall, who are hand ling my pending libel suit against the Saturday Evening Post.'
