FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1944 THE DENVER POST—F¥IRST IN EVERYTHING THE POST PHONE—MAIN 2121 a COLLEGE BASKETBALL TEAMS ARE CHARGED — WITH SELLING OUT TO NEW YORK GAMBLERS FORREST (PHOG) ALLEN SAYS NEWSPAPERS HAVE ‘HUSHED’ MADISON SQUARE SCANDAL Famed Kansas Coach Gives Warning to Educa- tion Heads That Disgrace Worse Than Black Sox Affair Brews Under Their Noses. (By JACK CARBERRY.) (Denver Post Sports Editor and Conductor of “The Second Guess” Column.) HE flat charge that college basketball teams, appearing in Madison Square Garden, New York, have “thrown games for a tidy sum,” paid by gamblers, is made in two letters written by Forrest C. (Phog) Allen, director of physical educa- tion and varsity basketball coach at the University of Kansas, received by THE DENVER POST Friday. Allen’s letters, one addressed.to the writer, the other to Sam Smith, United Press sports editor in Kansas City, are highly sensational in nature, and are printed in full here. They fol- low publication in “The Second Guess” column of a brief review of Allen’s plan to have the office of the president of the United States name a commissioner of athletics, with power to direct and regulate college athletic activity thruout the nation. It was stated then that Allen loved to see his name in headlines and that he harbored, among other feelings, jealousies of Colorado uni- versity’s head basketball coach, Forrest (Frosty) Cox, who, previ- ously, had been mentioned in press dispatches as being a possible suc- cessor to Allen at Kansas U. The charges made in Allen's let- ters are of special interest to bas- ketball fans of the Rocky Mountain area at this time in that two Big Seven clubs, Utah university’s N. C. A. A. champions and Wyoming, both have heavy bookings not only in Madison Square Garden but thruout the east, especially in Buffalo, where Ned Irish, Madison Square Garden promoter, has established a branch of his enterprise, and in Philadel- phia, where recently Judge K. M Landis called upon. police to aid in curbing gamblers operating in con- nection with baseball. Allen, in making his charge, further alleges that newspapers, with full knowledge that games have been “thrown” in Madison Square “have kept it quiet, or fairly quiet.” Garden, alleges, is true, he need but submit which he has based his charge, to receive the fullest possible airing. That Allen’s charge, printed herewith, can stand ignored by the Madison Square authorities is unthinkable. ment, without a single qualification. basketball game for money paid them by gamblers) “HAS ALREADY It is to be hoped Irish and the Madison Square Garden people call upon the Kansas mentor—admittedly one of the best-informed men in the entire basketball world—to come forward HAPPENED,” Allen writes. with full details. If, as Allen says, games have structure of basketball is threatened unless full and corrective action is taken at once, Irish and Madison Square Garden cannot ignore such a charge made from such a high source. The letters, which need no further comment, follow: ‘Phos’ Is Not a Jealous Man, He Says “Dear Jack: Our football coach, Mr. Henry Shenk, handed me the copy of your Friday, Oct. 13, DENVER POST sport page. one or two things in your sporting column that I would like to discuss, namely, that I am not now nor ever have been jealous of Frosty Cox. I am no more jealous of Frosty than I am of Northwestern’s Dutch Lonborg, Kentucky’s Adolph Rupp, all of whom were my boys and who played under me for three years. “T had a letter from Frosty dated Oct. 13, with this postscript: ‘Picture of the young lady Judith.’ Possibility of his team coming to Kansas City to play in a foursome with Missouri, Kansas State and Kansas. A year ago last August when Frosty’s mother passed away I wrote Frosty expressing my sympathy to him. “I just want to assure you that there are bigger things than the competition of basketball. What father would be jealous of his son? By this I mean not the paternal af- fection, but certainly a coach would not want to feel small enough to be jealous of one of his pupils. Sometime at your conveniense why don’t you ask Frosty Cox how much ‘we pay our basketball players at K. U.. He was here four years. Ask him if there were any scholarships, any easy money in any way, direct- ly or indirectly. He ought to know, shouldn’t he? Do you think our ac- tions are in line with our argu- ments? Yet I am strong for a com- missioner because there it would show the fellows who can coach; not as it now is—the fellow who can assemble is the big shot. “The only thing that I have ever objected to is when - coach who is hired to coach and not to recruit comes into a state out of his territory and gets the ma- jority of his players from an alien state. I think you know what I mean because the very article that I wrote Sam Smith, the United Press sports editor in Kansas City, shows that the evil of which I complained is still very dominant and will be. “Tf I get my name in large type it is because I am not afraid to say what I feel should be said toward correcting some of the evils that you. so poignantly set forth in your column.

Here it goes: “No longer are the so-called am- ateur athletics taken seriously by John Q. Public. The administrators of the National Collegiate Athletic association and the boys that run the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States should invite the highly efficient national profes- sional baseball and football execu- tives into their fold to teach the amateurs how to run their profes- sional athletics. “This is all the outgrowth of the failure of the American Association of University and College Presidents to do an: ‘hing about athletics from a postwar angle except to acknowl- edge that athletics have gone pro- fessional, and now the scramble is to get big name coaches to man the guns and to fill the stadia to drip- ping capacity. Sure, it will be a ‘golden age era’ of sports. There won’t be enough silver to hire the big boys. It will take gold. “The public doesn’t care what the boys are paid so long as they per- form, but the educators of the coun- try are in a different position, or should be, They are running educa- tional institutions. And if educa- tional institutions are efficient they should set up some machinery that will protect them from some scandal akin to the Black Sox scandal of 1923. There is more money being bet on football and basketball games in America today than is bet on all the horse races of the country. “Judge Landis will » a racing man conne his organized baseba!) tating is so crodkessee® ay - hody knows it. It is the money angle, the betting ‘angle, that has made it so. Judge Landis is fighting betting on profes- sional baseball in his vigorous manner, but the colleges are doing nothing about it, and as sure as you live ‘the thing is going to crack wide open some- time when they lay bare a scandal where some group of college boys have thrown a game for a tidy sum that will rock the college world. IT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED IN NEW YORK IN MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, but the newspapers have kept it quiet, or fairly quiet. “Therefore, I say that the college presidents are now contributing to this delinquency by failing to do anything about the matter of set- ting up proper machinery to guard against the thing that is sure to happen. Some of these boys that live across the track and desire a college education will play for pay and will be as susceptible to the gamblers’ crooked dealing as were the White Sox before they became Black Sox. Then the college presi- dents will stand aghast. They never dreamed that such a thing could happen, and then of course they may hire a commissioner to pro- tect the good old educational game. “A nation that lacketh vision per- isheth. And I say here and now that these college administrators and athletic directors, faculty represen- tatives, managers and. coaches are blind—knowingly blind—wanting to be blind, because they are afraid to face the facts and do something about it until an explosion occurs that will rock the whole college world. You know this is true, don’t you, Sam? Nobody wants to stick his neck out.

The men will be older, they will be rougher, tougher in every respect. They will be tired of discipline, just like they were after the first World war.

They were 2 fine bunch of fellows to deal with. But they had their own ideas and you had to temper yours along with theirs.

If the college administrators were half- way intelligent they would have it in their bylaws that the president nate this man. Now I am not a Roosevelt follower. I said the office of the president of the United States should nominate the. man. That would give it standing and char- acter. Of course some of the hoys Dewey is elected he would suit me perfectly. You get what I mean, and if the office should ever be va- cant the nomination should be from the president of the United States. about what they are going to de for the G. I. Joes and Janes. They have had meetings by the score for the rehabilitation of returning vet- erans, but they have not done one thing, these college and university presidents, in rehabilitating colle- giate athletics, the thing that comes closer to the college student’s life than most anything else in his col- lege days. “Tf you need any further elab- oration you can call me. I am putting the responsibility where it belongs, and I am not blaming the faculty representatives. They are deans and administrators who have a full-time job, and it is just as asinine to expect those men who handle full-time jobs to run one of the most important functions on. spare time as it would be for a board of directors of a big corporation to hire some one of the vice presidents to out- line the policy for the whole cor- poration and not pay him any- thing for it or make much allow- ance for his time consumed in doing this important job. While they say athletics are a depart- ment of a university, it is the only thing in a university where the entire student body will stand en masse time after time singing their alma mater and paying homage to their univer- sity. Can you think of anything else like it? “The faculty representatives are college professors most of whom do not understand the business or the mechanics of running a great uni- versity athletic plant, and yet are making the laws and administering them, and allowing the athletic di- rector to be only a business agent because he neither makes the laws nor enforces them. This director of athletics should be the dean of ath- letics, and they should give him full responsibility and hold him account- able to the same degree that they give him authority. He and the other athletic directors should be the deans who make these laws and administer them. Then with the full responsibility on their shoulders there should be no question but what they would protect the good name of intercollegiate athletics. “Tt is still the horse-and-buggy- days in athletics so far as the college presidents are concerned.

P.)— Four enraged wrestling fans stormed into the ring to mix it with Tom Zaharias, Pueblo, Colo., grappler, Thursday night and that touched off a melee which ended in: A black eye and swollen face for Zaharias. A gashed back for Sailor Max Yeargain, former mat promoter here who was on the receiving end of a kick from Zaharias. A charley horse for Referee Bill Atchison, who got in the way of a flying tackle. A split chin and lacerated face for an unidentified husky who took umbrage at seeing Sailor Yeargain kicked. To top it off, Zaharias lost his bout with Jerry Meeker. Then they started clearing the auditorium for an operetta Friday night. It’s “Naughty Marietta.” PREP FANS IN FOR GOOD CARD OVER WEEKEND Prep football fans have a wide variety of good games from which to chose this weekend. The festivities in the high school leagues open Friday with a subur- ban league tilt that may have a dis- tinct bearing on the championship. Regardless of its outcome the game between league-leading Wheat Ridge and Golden, at Golden, should be one of the best of the season. In the other Central Suburban game Littleton journeys to Arvada. Saturday’s prep schedule in Den- ver will see the players out early. One of the top games of the entire year is set for 8:30 a. m. at D. U. stadium with North meeting South’s definding champions. A win by South can tie the league in a knot. The second game of the morning, about 10:30 a. m., will be between Manual and West.

George Marshall, the owner of the Washington Redskins, says the professional teams admit that they pay their players, but the universities and colleges hypocritically deny that they do. I am not against scholarships or dividends openly arrived at and lived up to, but what we are fac- ing today is the fact that some schools pay $45 a month and books; some pay $75 and books; some pay board, room, tuition and books; and on up. The com- missioner would stabilize things and this hypocrisy that is prac- ticed now would be dealt with summarily. “The national commissioner would be paid according to the student population of the conference schools, and $100,000 salary would not be out of line. This man would have to be a man of great vision. He would administer the thing na- tionally, and commissioners like Reaves Peters and Artie Eilers would be perfectly fine to work under him because then they would only enforce the edict of the nation- al czar. Only schools subscribing to this voluntary plan would be per- mitted to play with member schools. Therefore, the outlaws and the pro- fessionals would play with their own class. And every school in the con- ference would have a chance. It wouldn’t be a “small pocket-book” league and a “big pocket-book” league. The “small pocket-book” leagues would have no more busi- ness playing the “big pocket-book” leagues than the antiquated artil- lery of Poland had in meeting Hit- ler’s panzer division.

In addition to the football game fans who arrive at 2 p. m. —and all are urged to be on hand at that hour—will be treat- ed to a great navy review. This will be a most impressive spec- tacle in which all the navy men at Colorado university, will take part. The starting time of the review will be 2 p. m. on the dot. It has been final week at the has been plenty of midnight oil burned; but this won’t put a dam- per on the homecoming spirit for Saturday’s clash. Altho many stu- dents will have left for their vaca- tions by game time, a good crowd is expected. The game will see stars of both squads in action in this region for the last time. At both schools the terms ended Friday and many of the naval and marine trainees who comprise the football squads are either graduating or being trans- ferred. The Silver and Gold will lose three regulars in Guard Wil- lard Miller, Tackle Don Canfield and Halfback Jim Price. The Tigers lose regulars in Backs John Ziegler and Ben Cardinelli, Ends George Lukich and Ray Hayes, Tackle Reed Nostrum and Guards Blair Dalton, Herman Richman and Jack Purdy. In addition, both amphibi- ous squads will lose several re- serves. The will to win this, their last game, should make both the teams fight all the harder, and with the probable regional col- legiate grid champ emerging the winner, a slam-bang game up to the final gun is forecast. There will be plenty of fireworks for the Buffs and the Tigers are both offensively minded clubs. On a basis of their records, the home team lovks like a slight favorite. Coach Frank Potts of the Buffs has been working his charges ©! week at a steady pace. Flaws in the Boulder running and passing attack have commanded the most attention, but defensive play has not been neglected. Potts knows that in Ziegler and Cardinelli the Tigers have a pair of very capable running threats. He has his own Bob West and Price to turn the ends, and Stu Worden to rip the line with either Dick Morrow or Don Evans to throw the ball.

The above-mentioned exception to Denver’s fitness is Johnny Adams, crashing fullback who is still on crutches with an injured knee. He will not even suit up for the game and will be replaced by Gene Ma- pelli, hard-working sophomore who himself is just a week removed from the injury list. Aside from Adams Denver is set to offer stiff resistance to the pow- erful Cowboys, who have won three games in impressive style. The Pio- neers will be going up against one of the finest tailbacks in the United States in Bob Fenimore, the Aggies’ 190-pound triple threat ace. Den- ver had a brief look at him last year when the Aggies won a 7-6 de- cision over the Pioneers on a snow- covered field on Thanksgiving day. Fenimore didn’t get a fair chance to show his wares that day and is said to be considerably improved this year to boot, which bodes no good for the Pioneers and their homecoming celebration. Denver will have several line- up changes this week besides the Mapelli for Adams change. Di- minutive Dick Yates, scrappy watch-charm guard, has won a starting position and will take over at the spot occupied last week by Shayle Smith. Lorton Krushas will be at right end in- stead of Jack Loftus and Leon Diner will answer the whistle at center. Otherwise the D. U. lineup will be the same with Wayne Flanigan at left end, George Miller at left tackle, Nate Feld at right guard, Bob Wilson at right tackle, Duke Brafford at quarterback, Johnny Karamigios tailback and Bob Hazel- hurst wingback.
