Basketball's laugh of the year. That's what Phog Allen terms the upcoming AAU investigation" of Olympic basketball players to determine if any of them are pros.
Still blasting at his pet peeve—alleged corruption in Eastern basketball circles—Dr. Allen, who landed seven of his Jayhawkers on the U.S. Olympic basketball team, said that the "investigation" is a big joke because it will concern itself with a couple of teams fairly well removed from the East—the Peoria Caterpillars and Kansas.
"If Dan Ferris and Asa Bushnell would care to look in their own back yard, they would find plenty of violators of the amateur code all over the East." Ferris, secretary of the AAU, and Bushnell, of the Olympic committee, both are Easterners.

"Why Don't You Play in Your Own Backyard?"
Phog let fly another volley which landed in the midst of professional basketball, in general, and the Milwaukee Hawks, in particular.
Speaking of a certain duo of Milwaukee officials as "A cople of guys drunk on their own sour grapes," Dr. Allen said that they did much to initiate the investigation when they got sore because Clyde Lovellette chose AAU ball in preference to the pro game with Milwaukee.
"We'll welcome an investigation, but it seems only reasonable that they would want to clean up their own back yard before coming out here," Dr. Allen said.
Before blasting Madison Square Garden as one of the biggest "basketball sores," Dr. Allen said he had never recommended probasketball to one of his players if they could do anything else.
"And I'll never let one of them go to Milwaukee if I can stop it."
In the "Independent A" league of the University intramural softball program, a bunch of "old fogies" are showing the "young squirts" how it's done.
The "Faculty Fossils," an 11-man team of "stuffy faculty" members, is showing the frats and independents that profs "can use their arms and legs as well as their niggins."
Manager of the crew is Nino Lo Bello, instructor in sociology, who was varsity first baseman for three years during his undergraduate days in New York City before the war.
