4. Elimination of the summer leagues for college basketball players.
By MAX THOMPSON (Subbing for Sarten)
Sport magazine terms this article by Holman as "exclusive" but it appears that he has just repeated data that has been expressed before by Dr. Forrest C. (Phog) Allen, KU varsity basketball coach.
Dr. Allen after reading Nat Holman's article comments: "Nat is just repeating what we've known and been doing out here in the Midwest all the time. The program he prescribes may be new to New Yorkers but we've known what the situation was for ages."
In the recent issue of Sports magazine Nat Holman, basketball coach of City College of New York, outlines a positive program for keeping the gambler's influence out of basketball:
It was only last Dec. 12 at a banquet in New York that Nat Holman termed Dr. Allen's fears about gamblers fixing basketball games as "hog-wash." It seems odd that a man of Holman's experience in New York as a professional basketball player and college coach didn't think it possible that gamblers would influence college players to throw a game.
1. The formation of a national ruling body to set standards of procedure and govern any irregularities or breaches of prescribed practice.
He advocates:
Now after the scandal has hit him personally his cry for a cleanup of the sport is similar to a man's locking the barn door after the horse was stolen.
A leading sportswriter recently told Phog in a letter: "I know of at least two games dumped in 1935 and 1936 in the Garden. I found out about them years later. Everybody closely connected with the basketball scene here had definitely known dumping has been going on for years—ever since the Garden opened. But nobody has ever been able to furnish any concrete information."
2. The formation of a permanent college commission to supervise and to guide the athletic policies of all colleges.
3. Conferences for all schools playing basketball.
Also there seems to be a very thin line between winning by a fewer number of points and deliberately losing a game. Both are very clearly and unmistakably crimes.
To understand why New York has been the focal point of the throwing of games you have to understand both the city and the kids in it. The New York youth is far more sophisticated and worldly than the average child. He grows up in an atmosphere of "angles," "big money," etc. This is triplets intensified in the poorer sections where a lot of the basketball players grow up.
Hub Ulrich and his "all-frosh" band of KU Jayhawker "Bees" left this morning for Norman to do battle with the Oklahoma Sooner "Bee" club.
Luckily, in areas such as the Midwest the kids growing up do not experience such an influence. Therefore the danger of their being bribed to throw games is not as great as it is in the East.
The "Bees" have won two and lost one in games to date.
The job of keeping intercollegiate athletics clean is a job for all persons connected with colleges coaches, students, faculty, administrative officers and alumni.
Bees Play Sooners Tonight At Norman
Charlie Tooodgood, hefty Nebraska tackle last year, has earned a starting berth with the Los Angeles Rams offensive platoon.
The Jayhawks went by train to Norman for their Thursday grid game.
Asked about the makeup of the squad, Ulrich stated he was taking an "all freshman team" to Oklahoma.
Jayhawks Near Top Strength For Clash With K-Staters
Searching determinedly for a defensive line that will be able to contain the fast K-State backs working off their single wing formation, Coach J. V. Sikes said last night
Jess Hill Is UP 'Coach Of Week'
New York—(U.P.)—He acquired the championship habit in a very logical place—as an outfielder for the New York Yankees.
Switching to track and field, he won National championships in his first two years as a college coach. Now it looks as if he is out to do
That's the winning background of the United Press Coach of the Week. Jess Hill, the bespectacled rookie boss of the spunky Southern California Trojans.
Hill took the tattered Trojan Legions this season and with a minimum of fanfare moved them along until last Saturday they accomplished the "impossible"-handling colossus California its first regular season defeat in 38 straight games.
Hill, who has had his share of dramatic moments from the day he hit a home run at bat with the Hollywood Pacific Coast league team in his first professional game, acknowledges that the Oct. 20 upset "was the real thriller of my athletic career."
"Ive had a few but this tops them all," he said.
I-M Schedule

Despite a disappointing season to date, Loyola University's Lions have taken justifiable pride in the performance of their senior quarterback and nation's leading passer, Don Klosterman.
Loyola Lad Pass Wizard
The Compton lad, who first attracted the attention of sports writers, and pro scouts while still a sophomore, has been throwing the pigskin with remarkable accuracy and distance. But for inexperienced receivers, he might well be several taps ahead of his nearest competitor for the nation's leading pass honors.
Paul Brown, who watched the lad's remarkable record setting evening against Florida on October 6, has already publicly labelled Klosterman is Otto Graham's probable successor. In that game, Don threw 63 passes for 33 completions and 372 yards, and game films showed that 12 perfect passes were dropped by receivers.
Labelled last year by his coaches, as a passer "who would break all national college passing records and my-pass Sammy Baugh on the record books." Don Klosterman has since gained the plaudits of all coaches who've faced his deadly throwing.
Carl Sandefur, George Kennard and perhaps, Orbon Tice and Jerry Bogue, will play both ways, Sikes said.
It'll be the second time this season that Kansas takes a look-see at the single wing. Last time they had trouble, as Colorado, powered by a midget motor in Woody Shelton, ran their ends ragged.
that some of his offensive linemen would see doubleduty Saturday in Memorial stadium.
Since that time, KU's end department has strengthened considerably with George Michale, Bill Schaake, Rom White, Davey Schmidt and Orbon Tice coming along nicely.
Top physical strength, or as close as his team's been all season, will aid the coach in his search for a top defensive outfit. Galen Fiss may see duty at his linebacking slot.
And Charlie Hoag is destined to see the end zone a time or two Saturday. He's been working extra hard all week, attempting to regain his edge, dulled by weeks of comparative inactivity.
This'n That; Here'n There
Chicago—U.P.)-Jim Hardy, the veteran quarterback who thought his pro football days were over, joined the Chicago Cardinals Wednesday with hopes of helping his old team get back on the winning track. The Cards called Hardy from his retirement in Los Angeles in an attempt to fill the gaping backfield hole left by injured Frank Tripucka.
Triqucka's shoulder separation left the Cards with only Charley trippi to serve at quarterback. The experiment wasn't too successful.
"We need another quarterback," said Walter Wolfner, the Cardinals managing director. "Trippi will eventually make a good quarterback, but he's green at the position now."
INFLATION HITS BASEBALL
INFLATION HITS BASEBALL New York—U(P) Chalk up big league baseball as just another bloated victim of inflation.
Exactly 15 years ago, the total player pay roll of both major leagues was $2,925,000. Put by 1951 according to a House subcommittee, the total skyrocketed to $5,251,850—an increase of $2,262,850.
PRO POWERS CLASH
New York—(U.P.) —Coach Steve Owen said Wednesday that the undefeated New Yorg Giants would be at full strength defensively for the first time this season when they play the champion Browns at Cleveland Sunday. "Otto Schnellbacher tells me he has played 10 games against the Browns and all of them against Mac Speedie, the Brownie end. Otto's a defensive halfback and he claims he knows just about what kind of moves Speedie makes when he comes down the field for a pass," Owen said.
NOW, SOMEBODY HAS TO LOSE Pompton Lakes, N.J.—U.P.)—Confidence in a knockout victory was running at a new high in the Joe Louis camp Wednesday as the former world's heavyweight king ended his "heavy" training for Friday night's bout against Rocky Marciano.
New York—(U,P)—Heavy support for Rocky Marciano dropped the betting price another half-point to 6-5 favoring Joe Louis as both principals rested before their big fight tomorrow night.
FAVOR LOUIS TO WIN
New York—(U.P.)—The high hopes with which the revamped New York Rangers began the new season were badly jolted today as they hit bottom in the National Hockey league.

New York — (U.P.)— Odds-makers refused today to name a favorite in the Ivy League clash of unbeaten teams which headlines this weekend's college football program—Cornell, vs. Princeton.
