Arrested For
Cage Fixing
CHICAGO, Oct. 20 — (AP) =
The spreading collegiate basket
ball fix scandal today engulfed the
University of Kentucky’s fabulous
1948-49 team—one of the greatest
in the history of the sport.
Investigators from the New York
District Attorney’s office seized
the two former All-America greats,
Alex Groza and Ralph Beard in
Chicago, and ex-Kentucky team
cgfita!n Dale Barnstable in Louis
ville.
After questioning, the investiga
tors said, the three early today
admitted accepting SSOO brihes
each to shave the point spread in
a 1949 invitational tournament
game March 14, 1949 in Madison
Sauare Garden, New York.
Loyola of Chicago. underdog by
around 10 points in that game,
whipped Kentucky 67-36 in a
stunning upset.
The fix scandal now has im
plicated at least 34 players from
seven teams. Other schools involv
ed are Bradley, Toledo, CCNY,
Manhattan, Long Island and New
York U.
Groza six foot, 7 inch center.
and Beard a guard were arrested
last night at the Chicago Stadium
where they watched the Rochester
(N.Y.) Royals defeat the College
All-Stars.
Their old mentor, Adolph Rupp,
Kentucky’'s Basketball Coach, dir
ected the All-Stars.
Assistant Distriet Attorney Vin
cent A. G. O‘Connor of New York
took them to the Criminal Courts
Building where they confronted
Nick (The Greek) Englisis and Nat
Brown—gamblers under indict
ment in New York on charges of
game fixing.
O’Connor questioned the former
players for seven hours and then
announced that both had admitted
receiving bribes in the Kentucky=-
Lovola game. He told newsmen:
“The fixers insisted the payoff
in the Kentucky-Loyola game was
$2,000 with Groza’ getting SI.OOO
and the other two SSOO each. The
gamblers said the only other point
shaving was in a Kentucky-Ten
nessee game at Lexington in 1949,
But Groza and Beard would not
admit to any fixing except in the
Lovola game.” .
Gorza and Beard were in cus
tody for some 15 hours before they
were released on SI,OOO bond each
at 3 p. m. EST today. The bond
was put up by a professional
bondsman.
O’Connor said both would waive
extradition and return to New
York with him Monday to face
bribe charges.
Barnstable, now Coach of Du
Pont Manual High School in Louis
ville, was questioned for two hours
by William P. Sirignano, a New
York prosecutor. Sirignano said
Barnstable was not under arrest
but has agreed to go willingly to
New York to be charged with ac
cepting a bribe in connection with
an amateur sports contest. O'Con

THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
Even at the end of this greatl
football afternoon, Lauricella still
was hot and a genuine threat in
whatever he tried—kicking, run=
ning or passing. For a sellout
house of 45,000 fans, the New Or
leans kid was a return to the old
days of versatile players and sine
gle wing formation power.
Also at the end of this game be
tween Tennessee, the nation's
second ranked power and Ala
bama, the ninth ranker, Alabama
managed to hurl a touchdown
thrust ana make 1t stick.
In the fourth quarter after Ala
bama looked all but lost, the
Crimson Tide blasted 66 yards in
seven plays for a touchdown.
Football hag few better exam
ples of a one-man offensive show
than Lauricella staged. There also
is little to match the comeback
Alabama displayed in the face of
the three previous miserable
weeks. Alabama lost three in a
row and fell from ninth place in
the nation to the bottom of the
Southeastern Conference.
In a series of runs mid-way the
first quarter the ball changed
hands four times on six plays
through fumbles, pass intercep
tions and kicks. Bobby Wilson of
Alabama intercepted a Lauricella
pass on his 35 and ran to Ala
bama’s 47. Seven plays later Mar
low scored on a one-yard burst.
Right then Alabama looked like
it might win the game but Tenn
essee soon got even. Blocking back
Joe Maiure flopped on a Comp
ton’s fumble on the Tennessee 49
and the Vols began to go with
power and precision. In eight
plays Tennessee scored. The
counter was a 20-yard pass, Lauri
cella to Hechichar. In the second
half Ernsberger bumped across for
a touchdown after a 70- yard
Tennessee drive in seven plays.
During the sweep Lauricella com
pleted four straight passes.
Late in the game Lauricella a
169-pounder, got three good blocks
and did the rest with shifty run
ning to scoot 34 yards for a touch
down.
Alapama got its final counter
after good passing by Hobson and
first class runs by Hobson, Larry
Chiodetti and hi,arlow. Marlow
scored from the tweo. o

Last Quarter Surge Fails
Bulldogs In Comeback Try
By ALVA MAYES, JR., and MERRITT POUND, JR.
: Banner-Herald Sports Editors
A blocked punt which resulted in the games lone touch
down spelled disaster for the Georgia Bulldogs last night
in Sanford Stadium. The costly Bulldog miscue was recov
ered in the Georgia end zone by LSU’s Billy West and gave
the Bengals a hard earned, 7-0, vietory over Wally Butts'
Bulldogs.
Last quarter passes almost net
ted Georgia a touchdown, but
twice Zeke Bratkowski's aerials
were dropped in the LSU end
zone, and one pass glanced off the
finger tips of an intended Bulldog
receiver who was standing in pay
dirt. The gamre's last play was a
desperate heave from Bratkowski
which was intercepted on the LSU
goal line.
After a mediocre first half, the
Bulldogs found renewed life and
suceeeded in keeping the ball in
LSU territory for most of the last
half. But the blocked punt proved
to be the winning margin for the
Bengals when their offense failed
to materialize.
Georgia outgained the Tigers in
net yards rushing 140 to 54 and in
yards gained passing 120 to 60.
Neither the Bulldogs nor the
Bengals were able to offer a real
ly serious threat for a score dur=
ing the first period with LSU in
possession of the ball most of the
time,
Same Brand
The second guarter saw more of
the same brand of play with the
Bulldogs penetrating only as far
ag the Bengal 34 and LSU able to
;x:ovo only as deep as the Georgia
Bratkowski’'s kick into the end
zone was returned to the LSU 20
where it was put in play. The
Bengals in two first downs moved
the ball to their 47 where Barton
punted out of bounds at the Geor=-
gia four.
In four plays the Bulldogs came
up to the Georgia 38 where the
Bengals took over first and ten.
Then began a see saw battle in
which Jack Hill, defensive half
back for the Bulldogs, recovered an
LSU fumble to give the ball to
Georgia. On the next play, how
ever, Mal Cook’s pass to Babcock
was intercepted and the Bengals
again took over to commence their
drive into Bulldog territory.
The Bulldogs penetration of
LSU territory followed as they
took the ball on their own 24 and
marcheq back up the field to their
38. Bratkowski punted to the Ben
gal 6 where after one play by
LSU Norman Stephens’ kick was
returned by Cook to the LSU 42.
The Bulldogs moved to the LSU
34 where the Bengals took over
first and ten to quench the threat
and end the first half,
With their return to the field
following the intermission, the two
teams battled again on near even
terms with the Bulldogs moving to
‘the Bengal 15 in their first really
serious threat for a score.
Blocked Punt
Then with a minute and five
seconds remaining in the period,
Bratkowski was forced to punt
from the Geargia three yard line.
He was unable to get the kick
away however, as Sid Fournet,
Bengal left guard, broke through
the Georgla line to block the kick
which was fallen on by Billy West
in the end zone for the first score
of the ball game.
Cliff Stringfield's conversion at
tempt was good and the Bengals
took a 7-0 lead with only seconds
remaining in the third period
When the quarter ended the
Bulldogs had possession of the ball
on their own 22 yard line where
they had begun another drive,
Georgia drove down to the LSU
20-yard line shortly after the
opening of the final period where
the Bengals held and took over
first and ten.
Barton punted the ball out to
the Georgia 40 and the Bulldogs
took over and started passing.
Bratkowski clicked twice to Mor
rocco to move the ball to the LSU
35. Then a 26-yard aerial from
Bratkowski to Jack Roberts moved
the ball to the Bengal nine where
Roberts made a spectacular catch.
After Dick Raber lost one yard,
Bratkowski again went into the
passing routine as he Shmi four
straight aerials for the Bulldogs.
First he passed to Morrocco in the
end zone, but the flashy Georgia
halfback dropped the ball. Then
another pass to Gene White was
also dropped in the end zone, giv
ing the Bulldogs fourth down and
ten to go for a score.
Another pass from Bratkowski
to Roberts glanced off Roberts’
finger tips and the Bengals took
over on their own ten.
72-Yard Punt
Barton punted 72 yards to the
Georgia four where the Bulldogs
commenced to run and pass back
to their own 28.
Then Bratkowski passed to Bab
cock at the LSU 47 and an inter
ference ruling against the Bengals
gave the Bulldogs the ball at that
point.
Bratkowski passed twice more
complete to Dexter Poss to move
the ball to the LSU nine. Raber
lost one, and the Bulldogs were
penalized for delay of the game.
On the last play of the game,
Bratkowski passed again but it
was intercepted by Charley Oak
ley and returned to the LSU 23
where the ball game ended.
Tigers Fall To
Engineers,27-7
ATLANTA, Oct. 20.—(AP) —Four times big Buck Mar
tin took six-point passes from Darrell Crawford and that
was the whole story today as Georgia Tech moved down
the unbeaten football trail with a 27-7 triumph over Au
burn. It was Auburn’s first defeat.
Early in the first period the
senior quarterback flipped 14 to
the right end behind the goal for
the first score. A throw of iden
tical length brought the next one
in the second frame.
In the third, the six-foot four
inch wingman fielded an eight
yard pass on the Tech 33, burst
clear of the Auburn secondary and
outlegged all tacklers to go over
standing up. In the final quarter,
Martin again took his stand be
hind the Auburn goal end Craw
ford hit him neatly with a 31«
yvard touchdown throw.
Sophomore Pepper Rodgers
converted three times to complete
the counting for Tech’s fifth rank

Not until well into the fourth
could the Alabama Plainsmen
fashion a scorins‘”drive. Vine
Dooley hustled a n punt back
13 to the Tech 44. Allan Parks
threw to Dwight Hitt for 17 and
to Lee Hayley for 8, Charles Lit
tles and Hitt slammed to a first
down on the three. Hitt bucked the
final yard with Joe Davis con
verting,
Leon Hardeman bustled the
opening kick back 11 yards to the
Tech 17 and George Maloof and
Glenn Turner smashed to the 29,
Robert Duke intercepted Craw
ford’s pass but after returning it
seven yards fumbled and Hal
Hiller recovered for the Engineers
on the Tech 29,
Passes by Crawford and Pepper
Rodgers moved it to the Auburn
24 but two ground plays netted
only four and a third down pass
missed. Auburn was offside
and instead of having fourth and
sixth, Tech was presented with a
third and one almost on the Au
burn 14 and Crawford hit easily
from there,
A series of penalties and a short
kick set up the next Tech counter,
made on three plays after Chappel
Rhino had run a mmt back 12
yards. Crawford hit Martin for 22
and a first down on the three. A
penalty shoved Tech far back but
the Engineers were not to be halt
ed as Crawford threw to Martin
for six and then for 14 and the
second touchdown,

“Y” Cubs Saw
Grid Action
Over Weekend
A fast and exciting intersquad
tilt and a fray with the 103 pound
and under team of Warner Robbins
highlighted the football scene this
weekend for members of the Cub
Class at the YMCA. The intersquad
fray was taken by the Red team
over the Blues with the impres
sive score of 24-8, while the Cubs
wha took to the road early yester
day returned home with a 3&~0
victory.
The intersquad tilt which wa
witnessed by a number of inter
ested “Y™ fans on the local field
Friday evening saw Billy Gam
brell, Blue Quarterback, pace his
team to the victory,
Things started off with a bang
for the Cubs aggregation when
they met Warner Robbins Satur
day. Valdon Smith started the
scoring extravaganza when he re
ecovered a fumble by the righé
half back and ran like a scare
rabbit to cross the line for a six
pointer. Donald Tolbert made
things safe for the Athenians when
he ran around end for the extra
point. Smith ran 55 yards for that
touchdown.
From that time on it was' an
Athens game with scoring in all
but one quarter. The ecombo of
Valdon Smith to David Bell paid
off in the second quarter to the
tune of 35 yards and another TD.
Donald Tolbert again was called
on for the extra point and made
it around end.
The final quarter of play fea
tured a pass from quarterback
Don Tolbert to right end David
‘Bell. The pass gained 13 yards and
another Athens score. Tolbert
