Rodgers Begins 30 Day Term In Lincoln Jail
Watsun and Tom Lange of Phi Delta
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Heisman Trophy winner John Rodgers apparently won't be spending the remainder of a 30-day jail trial as a counselor at Boys Town near Omaha.
Rodgers entered the Lincoln city jail Monday to begin serving a 30-day jail sentence he was given last year after he was convicted of driving on a suspended license.
He was eligible to play football for the Nebraska Cornhuskers last fall while the case was being appealed through higher courts.
"The best thing for him is to go somewhere else. We don't want him," said Mgr. Nicholas H. Wegner, director of Boys Town.
Rodgers had an outstanding season as the Cornhuskers won their third straight Orange Bowl game and he was drafted by the Miami Chargers of the National Football League.
Reportedly, an agreement had been worked out with Boys Town to permit Rodgers to go on work release Tuesday and serve his sentence as a counselor at the home on the west edge of Omaha. Rodgers is a native of Omaha.
"Johnny Rodgers has never been offered a position here and if he asks we won't give it to him," said Wegner. "The whole thing is that I don't know how we ever got involved."
Theta shared scoring honors with 28 points each. Davis and Wakins had 21 and 30 points respectively.
The game, which was deadlocked at 76-76 at the end of regulation play, was marked with controversy. Midway through the third quarter the game was halted to correct a score of 82-61. And on the first of the 2 minute overtime, the score was again tied, this time with an 80-80 score.

DiGregorio Selected For Senior Award
SPRINGFIELD, MASS. (AP)--All-America guard Ernie Digestor of Providence College was named Wednesday the winner of the nation's best collegiate senior basketball player.
The 22-year-old star won the citation by the largest margin in the three-year history of the award, which is co-sponsored by the Football of Fame here and the Basketball League.
The trophy named after the late pro basketball player and Hall of Famer Joe Lacephec, is awarded on the basis of a poll of basketball writers throughout the nation.
Díegregio, whose ball-handling expertise and 24-point average helped propel the Frirs to the NCAA tournament this season, said that "the greatest single honor" of his career.
He received 34 first place votes and 249
points on a scale of five points for a first
place.
Warriors One Game From Series Victory
MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Even Jeff Mittula can't easily explain it—although the veteran guard is as good a reason as any why the Golden State Warriors are one victory away from one of the major upsets of the National Basketball Association season.
Mullins' steal from Milwaukee center Kareem Abdil-jabbar led to Rick Bury's return.
"I think a lot of it is that we're a veteran team, and the pressure of the playoffs has a way of pulling veteran teams together," said Mullins, who contributed a key steal Tuesday night as the Warriors stunned the Milwaukee Bucks 100-97.
They were thedecision points as the Warriors took a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven matchup.
The Warriors, easily eliminated by the Bucks in five games last year and beaten five times—often lopsidedly—in six regular season meetings this year, can end Milwaukee's season in game six in Oakland Friday night.
"We certainly weren't overconfident coming into this series because they had
handed us pretty well in the regular season," Mullins said. "On the other hand, we felt all along we had never played against Milwaukee as we should have."
"Almost every time we played them we had one or two key personnel injured—Rick a couple of times, Clyde Lee, or somebody said. "But we've veterans and this helped."
Lee's rebounding has opened the Warrior's running game, thus making Milwaukee harder on defense. Moreover, the Burks believe the Warriors are more prone to error when they have to play pattern syle.
Royals Over Texas In 9-6 Victory
KANSAS CITY (AP)—John Mayberry ripped a three-run hero in the Kansas City Royals beat the Texas Rangers 9-6 Wednesday night.
"Sports are fixed everywhere," he told a police commission inquiry, "It's all a fix. We got a lot of information on basketball, fantastic information."
Theodore Aboud told of rigging horse racing—winning as much as $70,000 on one race—and making a killing on hockey when he said he found out that a Chicago Black Hawk goalie was betting against his own team.
The Quebec commission was ordered last year by its government to look into organized crime's ties with sports. The Commission has the same powers as a court.
Glenn Hall, who was Chicago's regular goalie in 1961 when the indicated game occurred, strongly denied that he ever fixed a game and he planned his own legal
Aboud, 53, said he feared for the safety of his family. Judge Rheal Brunet, chairman of the inquiry, ordered the public excluded from the former bookmaker's Tuesday testimony.
MONTREAL (AP)—Police officials in Canada have begun a massive investigation of alleged "fixing" of sports events in North America with Theodore Aboud, a former bookie, now in jail for fraud, as a well-shielded key witness.
Witnesses who are ordered to appear are protected under the Canada Evidence Act and their testimony is privileged. The evidence will be presented on a mandate to prepare its report by 1975.
Aboud said he fixed two horse races at the Blue Bonnets track near Montreal in September 1961 and was involved in another rigging there in 1968 or 1969.

THE THREE SPIRITUAL FESTIVALS-1973
An Invitation to Men and Women of Goodwill
This is a time of preparation, not only for a new civilization and culture in a new world order, but also for the coming of a new spiritual dispensation.
Amistad the turnow of world affaire a divine Plan is unfolding. At the end of an age, human resources and institutions seem inadequate to meet world needs and problems. At such a time a World Teacher is invoked by the united aspiration of humanity—a spiritual leader who can cooperate with humanity if humanity does its part in rebuilding the shrine of man's living.
This year, men and women of goodwill throughout the world who recognize the spiritual unity of man will join in united world invocation by celebrating the Three Spiritual Festivals.
The Festival of Easter, celebrated on April 16, is the Festival of the risen living Christ, the teacher of all men and the head of the spiritual Hierarchy. He is the expression of the love of God. On this day the spiritual Hierarchy, which he directs and guides, is recognized and the nature of God's love is emphasized and invoked into greater living expression within humanity.
The Festival of Weak, celebrated on May 16, is the Festival of the Buddha, the spiritual intermediary between the Center where the Will of God is known and the Hierarchy. The Buddha is the expression of the wisdom of God, the embodiment of light and the indicator of divine purpose. On this day the wisdom of God is recognized and invoked into greater expression within humanity.
The Festival of Humanity, World Invasion Day, celebrated on June 15 is the Festival of the spirit of humanity aspiring towards God, seeking conformity with the will of God and dedicated to the expression of relations. On this day the spiritual and divine nature of mankind is celebrated and invoked into the world of men.
On each of these days of the Three Spiritual Festivals, men and women of goodwill throughout the world will unite in group or individual prayer and meditation, using a world prayer which expresses truths central to all the major world religions:
THE GREAT INVOCATION
From the point of Light within the Mind of God
Let light stream forth into the minds of men.
Let Light descend on Earth.
From the point of Love within the Heart of God Let love stream forth into the hearts of men. May Christ return to Earth.
From the centre where the Will of God is known
Let purpose guide the little wills of men—
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.
From the centre which we call the race of men Let the Plan of Love and Light work out. And may it seal the door where evil dwells.
Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.
Will you join men and women of goodwill throughout the world in observing the Three Spiritual Festivals through the united use of the Great Invocation?
