NED Irish, the Garden basketball mag-
nate, has made an effort to run the
gamblers out of the Garden, but the fact
is, if he stamped out gambling he would
stamp out a great deal of Garden basket-
ball. Not all of those 17,000 people were
at the Garden the other night because
either St. Francis or Muhlenberg were |
dear to their hearts. They were there for
the same reason they go to. the horse

ball divorced from the professional
bettors and it might be a good idea if
the colleges went at the business of
wiping the gamblers out of college
athletics.
