Allen Denounces Intercollegiate Gambling Racket
Latest development in the "Phog" Allen versus intercollegiate gambling system fight is a reply given this morning to Emil Listen, athletic director of Baker University and director of intercollegiate athletics at Kansas City, who has stated that he deplores Allen's loss of faith in the coaches and young athletes of the nation.
"I find Mr. Liston's childlike faith very touching, and I hope that nothing ever happens to enlighten him," was "Prog's" reply.
The fight broke this weekend when papers carried Dr. Allen's charges that professional gamblers already have caused two boys to throw basketball games in Eastern collegiate tournaments. He believes the betting fraternity will create a "scandal that will stink to high heaven" unless college presidents intercede to save the game. Cites Utah Case
A case he cited was that of Vadal Peterson, Utah University coach, who knocked down a gambler who came to his room and asked "how much it would cost to have Utah lose to Dartmouth" in the N.C.A.A. finals in New York's Madison Square Garden, last spring.
"What Peterson told the gambler is unprintable, but that doesn't mean that they won't eventually get to boys on the teams," Allen said. Ned Irish, manager of Madison Square Garden telegraphed Allen for names and proof of any games he knows of that were thrown in the Garden. Irish asserted that through cooperatin of the New York police system, gamblers have been kept out of the Garden.
