Bribed Long Island
Abandons Sports
New York, Feb. 21—(A*)—College
sport’s greatest scandal led Long
Island University—with four star
basketball players accused of tak
ing $18,500 to fix seven big-time
games — to abandon inter-college
athletics last night.
It was the aftermath of a dis
trict attorney’s crackdown on play
ers of three major New York cage
Bryan 2'M79
teams alleged to have taken gam
blers’ money to insure desired re
sults in a number of games.
Three top players of the City
College of New York—last year’s
national kingpin in the college bas
ketball world—and one from New
York University had been taken
into custody earlier.
Authorities said the eight bas
ketball players admitted obtaining
a total of $25,000.
Long Island University Presi
dent T. W. Metcalfe sent a tele
gram to Ned Irish, Madison
Square Garden basketball pro
moter, informing him LIU is
cancelling its remaining games
of the season there, Feb. 22 and
March 1. Two other non-Garden
tilts also are being cancelled.
The university’s trustees decided
to return alfLITJ sports “to the
status of intra-mural competition.”
The trustees said it concluded
that “an undue emphasis has been
placed upon basketball and per
haps on other intercollegiate
sports.”

Wednesday, February 21,1951 THE BATTALION Page 3
Davis Leads Way in Ags’ Final Ho me Game
(Continued from Page 1)
for the Aggies. McDowell then
racked up four tallies with only
Murphy’s goal breaking the magic.
There were only seven minutes
and 54 seconds remaining in the
first half when Davis copped a
charity—last lead point the Aggies
garnered in that frame.
Holm, Murphy and guard Charlie
Lutz mixed free throws and field
goals to set the Ponies out in front
22-16 in three fast minutes.
Before too many fans could col
lect their wits, SMU upped their
lead to 10 points as Lutz and Mur
phy worked together for seven
counters, while only DeWitt could
score for A&M—a free throw.
Always good for the last second
spurt, the Ags cut three points off
the 10-point margin with only 41
seconds left. Davis tapped a free
throw and with four seconds to
go, the 6’ 8” pivot man meshed a
one-hander.
The score at half-time was 29-
22, SMU. Murphy was the split-
frame leader with 10 points while
McDowell had six for A&M.
Second Half Different Story
From an Aggie stand-point, the
second half was incomparable. For
Frank Davis, Buddy’s father, it
was a combination of life’s great
est contributions.
Buddy had registered a temper
ature of 104 degrees on Friday,
and through the last 20 minutes
he acted as if something was burn
ing him to a cinder. He wasn’t
satisfied with a mere 10 or 12
points, it had to be 15 or nothing
—and that’s just how many he
grabbed in the last 16 minutes.
Ags Nip—Ponies Tuck
It was nip and tuck but with
more nip on the Aggies’ side, as
the fans saw DeWitt, Davis, Mc
Dowell, Davis, Davis, McDowell,
Davis, Davis, McDowell and Mc
Dowell furiously pouring the
roundball through the net.
When the smoke had cleared, Da
vis had scored 10 points; McDow
ell, seven; DeWitt, two; and the
score was tied 41-41 with the clock
showing 9:22 left in the game.
A&M Payoff
The payoff came almost four
minutes later when the battling
Davis tipped one in. The Aggies
were now leading (time left: 7:15)
for the first time since six minutes
deep in the first half.
After another field goal, Davis
committeed his fifth foul and left
the game accompanied with a tre
mendous ovation.
That was the game. From there
on'the Agg-ies put-on one of the
most beautiful displays of ball
handling that DeWare Field House

fans have ever witnessed.
With McDowell leading the way,
the Ags showed the speedy Mus
tangs something new in the way
of speed. Although known for
their fast break, the Ponies were
completely stymied.
Martin scored the last field goal
for A&M with two minutes re
maining, and Young collected
SMU’s last points a few seconds
later on a double foul. McDowell
made good on his half of the
double and added another with but
14 seconds in the game.
As the final gun sounded, Mitch
ell unsuccessfully tried a crip shot,
but compensated for the attempt
by severely chastizing the referee
for some wrong turn.
There was a great deal of talk
ing in the dressing rooms after the
game, but not too much came from
Floyd. There was not many words
but the thought was ample.
“The boys deserve all of the
credit. They played a whale of a
game,” he stated.
Doc Hayes sounded off in a
broader sense:
“I said the other day that if
A&M beats us tonight, they would
win the conference. They’re in
now! The Aggies are one of the
best teams that I have seen this
year.”
In summary it will be said that
the game last night was rough,
tough and fast. In fact, it was
the fastest game held at College
Station this year.
It takes a unit to produce the
right effects, but Davis was truly
the “lift” of the game.

Dick Ramming of C AF had to
go into overtime to beat the Ma
roon Band’s Hall. Ramming, in
his advantage period, pinned Hall
in 53 seconds, while the loser met
no success in trying to down the
rock-like Ramming within 53 sec
onds in his advantage period.
Stocky White of A Ord outlasted
and then pinned A TC Berry in. 3:18
of their contest. Bob Chapman of A
Sig was subdued by another stocky
performer. This wrestler was Leop
Sheplcy of B QMC.
Jackson Wins Decision
Joe Jackson of D Vet won a de
cision over K AF Cogbum by a
margin of 4-1. Another matman
winning by decision was Benton of
F AF, who outlasted Waggoner of
A TC, 4-2.
In a freshman bout, 1:29 was all
the time Williamson of Co. 7 need
ed to get Co. 8’s Henson held se
curely on the canvas.
157 Pound Class
Charlie Bragassa of L AF pin
ned his opponent, Moore of C Inf.
in little less than three minutes.
