St. Louis Mentor Defends Big-Time College Basketball
New York—(U.P.) Defending big-time basketball despite the recent fix scandal, Coach Ed Hickey of the touring St. Louis university basketball team insisted today that hiding athletes on the campus was not a cure-all for sports evils.
New York—(U.P.) —With Lowell "Red" Dawson installed as new football coach at Pittsburgh, two major jobs remained open today in the annual jumping bean contest conducted by the nation's colleges
Two Grid Posts Remain Vacant
Forrest Evashevski, who went to Iowa, must be replaced at Washington State. And Paul Bixler must be replaced at Colgate.
There was a good chance that the Washington State job would go to Al Kircher, Evashesvski's backfield assistant, today. He was offered the position, but said "I honestly have not made up my mind." The hitch seemed to be how much Evashesvski was offering him to go to Iowa. He conferred with his former (and maybe future) boss Monday night.
Bixler quit Colgate Sunday, and the school has not yet started the round of interviews which usually follows a departed coach. Line coach Howard Hartman is considered a good possibility.
Dawson's appointment to take over at Pitt was the latest development on the coaching front. Praised as developer of the intricate Michigan State offense as an assistant to Biggie Munn, he technically replaces Tom Hamilton. But Hamilton, the Pitt athletic director, had only installed himself as coach on a one-year basis when Les Casanova quit and Dawson wasn't immediately available.
Pitt did consider grabbing Earl Blaik of Army when the cribbing scandal wiped out Blaik's team this summer.
Lafayette still must replace Clipper Smith, Arizona must replace Bob Winslow, and, of course, the Colgate job is open.
Indiana already has replaced Clyde Smith with Bernie Grimmins of Notre Dame. North Carolina State signed Horace Hendrickson to replace Beattie Feathers and Little Bates promoted Assistant Coach Bob Hatch to replace the resigned Ducky Pond.
- Tossing the problem of keening the kids clean squarely in the laps of the coaches and the college presidents, Hickey insisted: "You can have dishonesty in the basement of a church."
The rotund coach whose widely-traveled teams never have been touched by the breath of scandal insisted that if the coaches and college presidents made certain that their athletes were intent first on an education and secondly on sports there would be no sliding of morale and morals. And he held that despite the recent scandal basketball was continuing to grow across the nation.
"We have too much belief in our youngsters, and in their future, to think that this could be repeated," he said. "As for off-campus basketball, we have more than the ABC's to teach in college. We must be certain that our kids are education-minded but we also have to teach them other things.
"Growing youngsters have an ambition to make varsity teams, and part of the inspiration is the thought of playing in different parts of the country. Certainly we must think of the mind, but we also must think of the heart and the soul."
Sizing up the basketball being played across the nation this season. Hickey named Washington and Kentucky as the two best teams he has seen.
"There is a parallel in baseball"
Hickey explained, "After the Black
Sox scandal, baseball grew in popularity because steps were taken to keep it clean. Similarly, basketball is not going to die, by any means.
