In Surging Scandal
BY TED MEIER |
NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—(AP)—A basketball referee was |
- aceused today of taking $3,000 in bribes to help fix three
E ~fessional games in November a yvear ago.
Sol Levy, 41, of Brooklyn, listed
as a full-time official for the Na
tignal Basketball Association, the
country’s major professional cage
~weuit, was booked on a charge of
bribery at 3:35 a. m, (EST). He
hod been questioned for several
hecazs.
"Ms the basketball gambling
segndal, disclosed in college games
last January, has implicated an
official for the first time as well
as dgawing in the professional side
o "a sport.
Altogether 32 players from
seven schools—CCNY, Long Is~
land, NYU, Manhattan, Bradley,
Toledo and Kentucky-—were in
ve'ved before Levy's arrest,
“I didn’t do anything,” Levy de
clared at the Elizabeth street po
lice station where he was booked.
Tolice said the specific charge
against Levy accused him of so
liciting and accepting SI,OOO to use
his influence to shave Boston's
points in the Boston Celtics,
Washington Capitols’ game at
Washington November 11. Boston
woenm the garme, 78-77.
District Attorney Frank Hogan
s»'d Levy was involved in two
other NBA games last November:
The Boston-Indianapolis game at
Bosten and the Syracuse Nats-
New York Knickerbockers' game
at Syracuse. Boston won 78-75 and
Syracuse 97-83. :
Vincent A. G. O’Connor, as
sistant district attorney, said Levy |
made “certain admissions” during -
seven hours of questioning. ‘
O'Connor said Levy had been
associated with Salvatore Solazzo,
eonfessed fixer of College games,
and Edward Gard, former Long
Island University star and one of
the 32 players implicated.
Maurice Podoloff, NBA presi-l
dent, was not immediately avail_
able for comment, Several weeks
ago he barred two Indianapolis
players, Alex Groza and Ralph
Beard, when they admitted shav
ing points in important contests
while stars at the Uniyersity of
Kentucky. |

Former Bulldog
Captain Send's
Good Luck Piece
Wallace Butts today received
a gift from the captain and star
center of one of Georgia’'s most
famous football teams, the
“Flaming Sophomores of 1929”
who upset mighty Yale 15-0 in
the dedication of Sanford Stadi
um here.
Dr. Boland, captain of the
1929 Bulldogs and now a promi
nent surgeon in Atlanta, sent
Coach Butts the ball used in the
Yale game., .
He wrote Coach Butis: “May
be the ball will prove a good
luck piece and end your plague
of injuries to key players.”
Joe enthusiastically endorsed
the Athletic Department’s recent
plan to erect a trophy room for
the many trophies and honors
won by the Bulldogs in athietics
through the years, and sent the
ball for that purpose.

Confident Of
Ryder Cu in
Ryder Cup Wi
PINEHURST, N. C, Nov. 2 —
(AP)—A confident British Ryder
Cup golf team went into today’s
foursome matches against the
United States convinced that it
was going to regain custody of the
huge trophy which has remained
in American hands for 16 vears.
The visitors were certain that
after today’s four matches over
the No. 2 Pinehurst Country Club
course and Sunday’s eight singies
they’d be entrusted with the care
of the cup which has eluded them
since they won the 1933 matches
at Southport, England.
The British believe this is their
year. Arthur Lacey, non-piaying
captain, says he has the best
balanced, best-conditioned team
England has ever sent to America.

DICK YELVINGTON
Veteran Tackle to Close Career in Sanford Stadium.
Jim Whatley
'35 Bama Spearhead
To Face Alma Mater
Only four times have Alabama and Georgia played foot
ball in Sanford Stadium and only once have the Bulldogs
won, 140, on the strength of one of Charley Trippi’s great
est performances in 1946.
The big Red team i{rom Ala
bama won iin Sanford stadium in
1935 by 17-7, 1947 by 17-1 again,
and in 1949 by 14-7.
The man who led Alabama to
victory ‘in its first invasion of the
Bulldogs’ lair October 26, 1935,
will be on the sidelines this Sat
urday when the two schools clash
for the 37th time in one of Dixie’s
greatest series. But he’s wearing
the Red and Black of Georgia this
time: Jim Whatley, who directs
the Bulldog tackles.
Big Jim’s line coach of 16 years
ago, Hank Crisp, will be across
the field from his favorite pupil
this Saturday, and
Very likely old Hank will recall
that game on the same field 16
years ago. On that afternoon early
in the game big Jim was carried
from the field with an eye injury.
When he came to. vld Hank thirew
a wet towel at his face and big
Jim ducked it. = :
“Uh-huh!” cried Hank. “You
can see out of the other eye all
right. Get back in there and give
'em hell.”
Big Jim got back in there and
the next day Morgan Blake wrote
in The Atlanta Journal: :
“Hero of Alabama’s victory was
big Jim Wnatley. The program
lists him as only six feet five
inches tall but he must be every
inch of 13 feet tall, the way he
batted down Georgia passes.”
The Atlanta Constitution report,
by Ralph McGill, said: “Alabama
has never had a tackle who played
any finer ball than did Jim What_
ley today ... he towered out
there . . . he waved his men on,
leading them like soldiers in a
charge. .. . I cannot recall a tac
kle who played any better than
Jim Whatley.”
Big Jim recazlis that game: “I
just got a little mad that day and
played over my head.”
All this week Big Jim has been
grooming the Bulldogs tackles to
play “a little over their heads”
this Saturday in hopes that Home
coming for Georgia alumni will
be a happy one.
New Hunting
Wrinkle For
inkle F
Ducks Found
| ROCK ISLAND, 111, Nov. 2 —
l (AP) —— A decoy hitched to a live
carp is a new duck hunting wrink=-
le uncovered in this area.
Harold Knight, Rock Island
county conservation officer, said
he was informed of the stunt by
a federal officer. The officer said
a duck hunter approached him in
the Illinois River duck hunting
region and asked if the stunt is
legal. The officer said it is legal
as far as he knows.
Hunting from a pond, the in
genious hunter puts through the
carp’s gills a harness that is at
tached to the decoy. The carp is
small enough that it dosen’t puil
the decoy under water.
The device is limited to use in
small areas. If it was used on an
open body of water, the carp pro
bably would puil the decoy out of
range and out of sight.
Hunters have been trying to
fashion lifelike decoys since live
decoys were outlawed several
{ years ago.

Of “Y” Plans
YMCA boys of the Beginners

watching the skies with hope for
the past few days. In spite of
their hopes, the rain that had set
| in early this morning dashed plans
' for two of the events to which
| they had been looking forward.
The Beginners® trip to Pine
Tops was called off today due to
the continued rain and the wet
grounds. The Indian game that
had been set for 7:30 was called
off beecause of the wet grounds,
also. But in the place of the tilts
* that were planned for tonight, Co
{ burn Kelley announced that a
f movie of one of the Georgia Bull

,at 7:30 in the “Y.” All of the
| boys and older men who are in

action tomorrow afternoon before
the Georgia-Alabama game. The
“Y"” boys have come to be one of
the features of the Georgia games,

Georgia Homecoming Affair
To Draw 40,000 Spectators
Alabama’s flying Tiders move into Athens Saturday to
take on Wally Butts’ aerial-minded Georgia Bulldogs.
Kickoff time is a 4 2 p. m., EST. ! e
A crowd of over 40,000 will
watch the Southeastern conference
headliner which will feature four
of the nation’s top individual per
formers in Alabama’s Bobby Mar
low and Bobby Wilson and Geor
gia’s Zeke Bratkowski and Harry
Babcock.
Coach Harold Red Drew and 46
Crimson Tiders will leave Tusca
loosa by plane Friday at noon, ar
riving in Athens in time for a mid
afternoon workout. Injured reg
ulars Bimbo Melion, Joe Comp
ton, and O. E. Phillips wili not
make the trip.
The contest between the long
time rivals is rated just about a
toss up with Georgia receiving a
slight edge because of the home
field and homecoming ceremcnies.
Georgia has won three and losi
three to date. Alabama has won
™o, lost four.
The battle for individual honors
is a natural in this series which
has seen over three dozen All-
Americans perform for the two
schools. The nation’s number one
punter — Bama’s Bobby Wilson
will be ready to get the Tide out
of the hole when necessary, The
kicker who lis considered Ala
bama'’s best in 20 years has booted
the ball 34 times this year for a
43.4 average, best in the country.
Top Scorer
The Southeastern Conference's
top scorer—Bobby Marlow—will
be attempting to get back in the
scoring column after being
blanked for the first time this
season by Miss. State last week.
The rugged 195 pound halfback
still rates as the conference’s best
runner although his effectiveness
has been cut down some by full
time defensive duty at linebacker.
Marlow wha has been a 50 minute
performer in all of Alabama’s
games is the teams top rusher with
a 5.8 average on 48 carries.
Georgia’s passing combination
of Zeke Bratkowski to Harry Bab
cock is writing grid history at
Georgia. The soph quarterback
from Danville, 111. ranks fifth in
the nation on total offense. In the
air he has picked up 1018 yards
on 70 completitigns in 142 tries.
He is the SoutW’s biggest yard
gainer.
Junior end Harry Babcock is the
nation’s fifth best passer with 26
catches for 474 yards and two
touchdowns. All of Georgia’s pass
catching records are within the
grasp of this former hish school
blocking back. He guined 172
yards' on 7 grabs last week as
Georgia rocked Boston College 35-
28.
Bama’s fast improving T-direc
tor Clell Hobson has looked good
in secrimmage this week. Although
Larry Chiodetti has missed drills

Player Safety
TOLEDO, 0., Nov. 2—(AP)—
Don Greenwood, who resigned as
Taledo football coach in a dis
agreement with university of
ficials, said last night he will give
up coaching unless the “accent on
win at any cost is abolished.”
Groenwood declared in a state
ment he fears for the safety of
football players because game of-=
ficials tare not protecling them
from deliberate roughing.
And, he added, school officials
are not placing the players’ safety
above the desj win,
The former% and Cleve,

signed Wednesday night because
Toledo officials did not adequate
ly protest “rough play” in Sat
urday’s game with Bowiing Green
State University.
Toledo won the game at Bowl
ing Green 12-6, but Greenwood
contended four Toledo players
were ‘“deliberately roughed up.”
Two of them were knocked un
conscious, but no one was injured
seriously.
Players and fans slugged it out
for several’ minutes after the
game. Bowling Green officials said
the brawl started because a
Toledo player hit one from Bowl
ing Green after the game.
Greenwood recalled rough foot
ball play had worried him™ ever
since he suffered a severe head
injury while playing with the
Cleveland Browns in 14347. That
ended his playing career, and
despite three operations. the in_
jury has not healed, he said.
Then he added:
~ “Since the flagrant maiming of
John Bright of Drake University
by a player from Oklahoma A&M
in which neither drew a penalty

that he will be ready to start along
with Hobson, Marlow and soph
fullback Tommy Lewis Saturday.
Top Defensive Stars
Two of Alabama’s top defensive
players are in the spotlight too.
Guard Jess Richardson who as a
soph in 1950 broke up the Bulldog
game with two pass interceptions
has been a standout in recent prac

has not been able to take part in
the rough work because of in

game but he may be ready by
game time.

Trojans, Rams
To Vie Tonight
BY ALVA MAYES, JR.
Covington will be the scene of the Athens High Trojuns
endeavors tonight when they take on the Newton Count,
Rams in a grid battle that gets underway at 8 p. m.
The Trojans hit the road this
afternoon following two home
stands which saw them bring out
some of the largest nigh school at
tendances from Athens in several
years.
The Rams currently operating
with a successiul season behind
them are anxious to avenge a 36~
(. defeat at the hands of the Tro
jans in Sanford Stadium last
year, and they think that this is
the year that they can do it.
The Trojans, meanwhile, rated
te be the best team produced at
Athens High since theé days of the
All State team of 1941, have not
done too badly this season them
selves, winning four, tieing one
and losing only two for a good
showing thus far.
They will be seeking to regain
the win side of the column tenight
however, following their tie with
the Monroe Hurricanes two weeks
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, I)s]
ago and their loss to the Gaine:-
ville Red Elephants in their home
coming game last weekend.
Four of the Trojans will not
dress out tonight, two of them
who had previously been counted
on for starting assignments, Elme;
Chapman, Grady Flanagan, Lairy
Wallace and Ronnie McKinne,
will not make the trip with the
Trojans due to ineligibility.
Chapman and Flanagan have
been the starting flankers for the
Trojans all season, Wallace a su -
stitute halfback ana ncKinney :
relief lineman.
Coach Earl Wheby in announc
ing the four players displaccment
from the squad said that Junm,
| Mercer will stand in the post va
cated by Chapman and Willic
Fowler, who regularly have shaied
the right ena postilon with Fiana
gan all season, will start at that
position tonight.
