‘That Telephone Number =|
Dr. Allen listed the telephone
number as 3730. That was the
number of: the betting center in
question up through last Friday, be-
cause a fellow called the sports
editor and asked where Leroy Ed-|
wards, the former basketball star
at the University of Kentucky, went
to high school. The sports editor!
didn’t know, asked for the number
and’ offered to call back as soon as
the information was uncovered.
Would the caller leave the num-
ber? Sure, 3730! |
Edwards attended Arsenal Tech,
at Indianapolis. After securing this
information we called 3730 at once
and furnished the data requested.
Today, however, . the telephone
number 3730 had vanished into thin
air. We tried to call it and ended
up with a special operator.. She in-
formed us in a very delightful. voice
that this must be the wrong num-
ber, that there was no such num-
ber listed. She even intimated that
no such number ever had existed.

But 3730 existed as recently as
last Friday, and for months has
been used by us to find out how
/many points Kentucky was _ sup-
posed to win over such teams as)
Georgia Tech, Ohio State, Tennes-|
see, Temple, and so on. We even!
used it during the football season’
to/ learn the odds on the various
Saturday games and particularly on’
the Bowl. games. As a matter of
fact, the number still is scrawled
on the back of my typewriter
