Phi Gam's Sweep Intramural Titles
That final victory tasted sweet to the Phi Gamma Delta "A" team Monday, as they topped off an undefeated season of intramural play by defeating Jim Beam 22-6, to become 1951 "Hill Champs."
Recovering from a shaky start in which they found themselves facing a one-ouchdown deficit, Phil Gai jumped into the floor half to pass a tiring jim. Beam team.
The Phi Gam defensive shared honors with their usually brilliant offensive game as the hard-charging linemen upset Jim Beam by scoring four safeties.
Jim Beam leaped into an early lead on the strength of Gil Reich's long pass to Odd Williams. Williams scored and Phi Gam found themselves behind for the first time in weeks.
Then the Phi Gam's shook themselves, and started fighting back. a safety cut the lead to 6-2, and the vaunted Phi Gam offense began to click. Spearheaded by the accurate short passing game of Jim Potts, G. H. Jones climaxed a Phi Gam TD drive by snagging one of Potts' passes for the winners' first tally. Phi Gam forged ahead 9-7 on Joe Terrill's successful conver-

The game remained close until
the half. Phi Gam was able to add on two more points by another safety to make the score 11-6, but the outcome of the game was still very much in doubt.

New York Judge Sentences Basketball's 'Master Fixer'
New York—(U.P.)-General Sessions Judge Saul S. Streit today sentenced "master fixer" Salvatore T. Sollazzo to 8 to 16 years in prison for the wholesale bribing of college basketball players.
He sent four of the players Sol' lazzo bribed to the penitentiary for terms ranging from six months to one year.
Nine other players who had admitted conspiracy in accepting bribes as high as $7,750 to control the point scores of their teams received suspended sentences. Another, who was in the hospital and not able to appear, will be sentenced Dec. 10, but it was indicated his sentence also will be suspended.
Sollazo had admitted bribing college players to fix the score in at least eight games in which he paid out $22,000.
Edward Gard, a former Long Island university player who acted as intermediary between Sollazzo and the bribed players, pleaded guilty just prior to the sentencing of two conspiracy counts. The judge gave him an indeterminate sentence of up to three years on the first and deferred sentence on the second. He had turned informer to the district attorney.
The judge said Gard was being sent to the penitentiary "with the recommendation of credit for his months in protective custody."
The four sentenced players were Sherman White, 22, a former All-American player at LIU, who received one year; Edward Warner, 22, and Alvin Roth, 21, both of the College of the City of New York, six months; and Harvey Schaff, 22, a former New York university player, six months.
District attorney Frank Hogan hau recommended suspended sentences for all 13 bribed players but Streit refused to go along on White, Warier, Roth, and Schaff.
Schaff collapsed while the judge delivered a scathing denunciation but quickly recovered.
