Mai. Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, superintendent of

the U. S. Military Academy Wednesday attacked the

professionalism in college athletics, particularly foot-

ball, and the Major-General suggested a three-point program to clean up intercollegiate competition.

Oscar Fraley, United Press sports writer, report- ing on the speech made before the Eastern College Athletic conference by the war-time commander of the

101st Airborne division, which wrot^ history m the

battle of the Bulge, said the officer outlines these

P 1. Make college presidents responsible for their

athletic programs. 2. Ascertain that athletes are bona fide students

seeking degrees, and, ,. .. ,

3. Open the college books for periodic financial

checkup?. Recounting the trend of college^footoall, Taylor

said he had been “startled” to see that Army’s ace

halfback, Glenn Davis, was drafted by one of the pro-

fessional football teams. “It is significant that they hid the temerity to

compete with the government for his services,” Taylor said.

“The professional game has had a great influence

on the college game,” Taylor said. “Students now take

a professional outlook, pointing for lucrative pro jobs and it provides an unsettled feeling in college.”

Taylor emphasized that another collegiate trend was catering to the post-war enthusiasm for a sports spectacle. ,.

“So colleges pay a price for the ease wun wmcn

they fill their stadiums,” he explained. ‘This is due

to the creation of extramural influence and the de- velopment of pressure groups.”

Taylor also attacked the “trend toward cynicism, asserting that “some areas print how much football players are paid and there is no bonus on the president of the colleges involved.”

Effects of these trends included formation of close- krif conferences “as citadels of safety,” the general sa’'’ writh increased police powers.

“Rut the regrettable part is that it narrows the participation of undergraduates,” Tavlor said. ‘The pvonnre student steps aside, the semi^pro takes over a-'1 there is a clevage. Sportsmanship suffers in this

''osiness-like atmosphere.” There is not much we can add to the capable

c”cc-5ntendent’s suggestions. But. we heartily ^gree t*--* entirely too much professionalism has crept into

-mks of college football.

overwhelming score of 65 to 16, the Tabor City Red Devils dealt William’s Township a terrific blow in a practice basketball game opening Tabor City's season on

little more practice. Tabor City’s Red Devils are in tip-top shape and are eagerly looking forward to the first regularlly scheduled game with Wilmington’s “B” team at Wilmington on January 3.

Fred Soles led the Tabor City Red Devils with a total of six- teen points to his credit, while Jacobs was William’s Township's high scorer with eight points to his credit.

The Tabor City and Whiteville "B” teams met on December 18. opening Tabor City’s girls season The plays were nip and tuck, and the first part of the game seemed to lean towards Whiteville. But Tabor City had a winning come- back by boosting the score 17 to 16.

Big Town’s Sports Gambling Under Strict Investigation

New York District Attorney Seeking Leaders Of

Syndicate NEW YORK. Dec. 19 — CU.R) —

The District Attorney’s office, try- ing to blow the lid off the big town’s sports gambling, Thurs- day sought to determine whether a

syndicate had manipulated the odds on last Friday night’s Madison Sqare' Garden fight in addition to trying to fix the Giant-Bears championship game.

Sources close to District at- torney Frank S. Hogan said that a close study was being made of the way the odds bounced up and down during the few days between the welterweight fight between Charley Fusari of Irvington, N. J., and Charley Taylor of Coadport, Pr.

The investigation centered on a man known as “Pete”, mentioned in a telephone conversation on a tapped wire to Alvin J, Paris, 28- year old would-be playboy accused of trying to bribe two Giants play- ers to throw the National football league championship game.

The trial of Paris, who wa^ de- nied bail despite the attempts of

3 a powerful legal battery to get him j out of a Tomtjs jail cell, was sched- j uled to begin Friday in General Ses- sions court here.

In their search for “Pete” police were checking on David Krakauer, a Bronx gambler with a police recoil dating back 26 years and including convictions for arson and counterfeiting. Krakauer was said to be in a New York hospital.

The cast of characters in the great football fix grew more bizar- re by the moment. It already in- cluded five of young Paris’ clos- est relatives, all with police rec-

ords of one sort or another; a

parade of Broadway party girls who allegedly were used to enter- tain professional football players; a high-powered criminal lawyer, Ceasar B. F. Barra; and the most faulous characters of all, the an-

nonymous big-money gamblers of the syndicate for which Paris al-

legedly was a front. International Revenue agents

stepped Into the case in New Jer- I sey, where the gambling syndicate

RED BEARD SEEKS GG ENTRY BLANKS

Entry blanks for the Southeast- ern North Carolina Golden Gloves championships should be filled in and returned as quickly as possible to Neil V. “Red” Beard, 121 1-2 Princess street, or mailed to Post- office Box 383, Beard, general manager of the tournament, said last night.

Open to all amateur boxers 16 years of age or over, in the Open and Novice classes, and to boys 14 and under in a special class, the tournament is being revived by the James A. Manley Post 2573, Veterans of Foreign Wars, after a lapse of five war years.

supposedly has its headquarters. They were looking for income tax

evasions, a favorite government de- vice for nailing high-flying crim- inals who manage to evade local convictions.

The investigation was spiced Thursday by questioning of various Broadway cuties whose names turn-

ed up in a little black address book found in the apartment of

young Paris. He was said to have entertained frequently, and detec- tives wanted to determine whether he supplied party girls for football players in order to win their friend- ship and confidence.

The telephone tonversation which linked Paris and "Pete” to the Fusari-Taylor fight was reported by the district attorney’s office to have gone like this:

Paris: "You are my partner and I'm looking to protc.ct the office.

Pete: "He claims you are trying to throw the market around."

Paris: "What’s he yelping about? He won $10,:000 on the fight last night.”

The talk took place the morning after the Garden bout. Early in the week Fusari was# a 2-% to

one favorite. The odds dipped to

even money, and went back up to

8 to 5 by ring time. Fusari won

by a technical knockout.

New Hanover High school’s Wild-

cats will put their undefeated rec-

ord in grave danger today, when

they invade High Point to match strength with the High Point Bisons this afternoon at 3 o’clock. This is the first of two games that will be played against Western Class AA clubs. Wilmington en-

counters a strong Reynolds High school team of Winston-Salem Sat-

urday at 3 o’clock at Winston- Salem.

Coach Leon Brogden said yester- day only the first and second teams of the basketball squad will make the two-day trip. Players gaing are j W. A. Brown, Louis Collie, Toddy, Fennell, Johnny McKoy, Billy Mason, Marion Rogers, Don Hyatt, Johnny Crowley, LeRoy Towles, and Charlie Smith.

High Point ranked second only to Greensboro in Western loop stand- ings last season, when NHHS de- feated the Bisons by 10 points. Winston-Salem has always been one of the top-ranking clubs in the west according to Coach Leon Brog- den.

This tussle will decide whether Wilmington offensive, which smoth- ered Elizabethtown twice, 55-25 and 50-166, can do the same against major opposition.

Coach Brogden worked with the team yesterday afternoon, correct- ing faults exhibited in Wednes- day night’s Elizabethtown contest.

FAIRMONT DEFEATS WHITEV1LLE TEAMS

FAIRMONT, Dec. 19 — Fairmont high school Tornadoes woh a

double victory over the Whiteville High school teams here Thursday night.

The Fairmont girls defeated the Wolflets 18 to 15 in the opening game and the Golden Tornadoes trounced the Wolfpack 29 to 15 in the nightcap.

Captain Mary SibDett lead the Columbus aggregation with a total of 10 points. The defensive honors were divided between Ida Jane Fore and Helen Hooks.

The female Tornadoes were lead by forwards J. Huggins and D. Floyd who gathered 8 points each.

The Fairmont boys completely outclassed the ‘Pack and were

never pushed from the lead. Ted- der, Floyd and snipes lead the vic- tors with 6 points each.

A highlight of the contest was

when Pete Page, Whiteville guard, became confused in a scramble for the ball, he recovered and dribbl- ed down the floor to sink a perfect crip shot — for his opponent Fairmont.

Captain Don Taylor with 7 points lead the losers. Paramore and Jar- rell were outstanding on defense for Whiteville. ■_

CAPTURE 45 TO 40 WIN IN THRILL3R

Loss Ends Five Game Win Streak Of Visitors;

Collie Stars BY GENE WARREN <

Star Sports Writer The Wilmington College Center

basketball team played brilliantly j last night at New Hanover High school’s gymnasium to snatch a

45-40 contest from a mighty Camp- bell college, and definitely estab- lished themselves as one of the most powerful hardwood jugger-j naughts seen here in years. j

Coach A1 Chiemlego’s quint dis-j played a polished offensive andj defensive centered around big; John Tsante.5, former high school; cage great, and A1 Collie, smothe- working forward, who is the older brother of NHHS’s Louis. R. L. Church, Doug Pridgen, and Jack Batts also looked great with their fine ball handling and passing.

The struggle was mp-and-tuck all the way. The center grabbed a 7-6 lead In the first quarter, raised it to 21-18 at the half, drop- ped behind 28-27 in the third stanza, but streaked in with a thrilling 45-40 finish.

Robert Greason, giant center of Campbell college was the big man

in the invaders’ show. He faked, ^■oun, hooked, and laid up a total of 17 points to pace all scorers for the night.

Standing out for the college Cen- ter were A1 Collie, who was the locals’ highest scorer with 15 mark, era, and Tsantec, the rebound ex-

pert of Wilmington’s entry, with 11 tallies.

Walter Deal and Jimmy Cash- well, graduates of New Hanover

High who are attending Campbell college made good on their home-

coming. Deal did not grab many

points at two, but set up most of the scores with clever faking. Cashwell, a reserve, saw action for

only a short while, but netted a

field goal in that time. The loss broke a five game win-

ning streak for Campbell, and drop- ped them out. of <the undefeated class. Wilmington’s triumph ex-

tended their victory string to four straight.
