The prosecutors said the play ers, whom they identified as Bernard Bamett, Larry Pearl stein, Robert Leder, Jerry Green and Stanley Simon, made the statement after two of them, Bamett and Pearlstein, had been taken into custody while in the company of two men booked as Harry Rosen and Harvey Stem mer. The two men, described as gamblers by the police, were ar restee! and charged with con spiracy. No charges were made against the players and they were permitted to go home after signing their statement. Questioned at headquarters the two players identified them selves and implicated the other three. The five said they had received an anonymous tele-, phone call several days ago sug gesting there was a way to make some easy money. On January 22 they went to Stemmer's home where each received $100. The next day Bamett received an other $500 to split among them. Stemmer, the prosecutors re lated, declared he had given the players the $1000 to bet on Ak ron for him. Rosen was to go to Boston the day before the game and after getting the betting odds, was to tell the boys, shortly before game time, just what to do. The players were to receive an ad ditional $2000 after the game. For their part in the St Fran cis game (scheduled February 10 at Madison Square Garden as the first tilt of the Notre Dame New York university twin ball) Leder, Barnett and Green each was to receive $600 and Pearl stein $350.

Team officials accompanying the squad left for Boston last night and could not be reached im mediately for comment. Ned Irish, acting president of Madison Square Garden in New York City and the man who brought the cage game j the big Eighth avenue arer., said he and the police had been "aware of the gambling activity for some time and had co-operated to eradicate it." "It is a deplorable incident," said Irish, "and gives the entire game a black eye as well as the 2300 students at Brooklyn col lege, an educational Institution maintained by taxes.".- - - Asked if Brooklyn would be permitted to play in the Garden he said that "the Garden is not a disciplinary organization. We take the teams1 as the college send them. If Brooklyn college has a team, it will be permitted to enjoy our facilities in the future." None of the Brooklyn college athletic department officials could be reached for comment. Phog Allen Places Blame For "Brooklyn Incident" With Colleqe Officials LAWRENCE, Kas., Jan. 30 (IP)- The real blame for the Brooklyn incident, declares Phog Allen, rests with athletic directors, coaches and faculty representatives "who have failed utterly to protect college athletics from the stigma of pro fessional gambling." The University of Kansas bas ketball coach, long a militant crusader against big time bet ting on intercollegiate games, made his comment after the dis trict attorney's office in Kings county, N. Y., announced yester day that five members of the Brooklyn College basketball learn had signed a statement that they had received $1,000 lo throw a scheduled game with Akron in Boston Wednesday night. "Intelligent people have known all along that big time gamblers were getting to college basketball players in the cast," Phog declared. "Instead of fac ing the facts and acting, our na tional athletic bodies, to save face, have been meeting and denying that these conditions exist when every well-informed person knew belter."
