Page S College Station, Texas Thursday, May 25, 1951 BATTAI ION More Basketball Players Included In Scandal Probe By The Associated Press NEW YORK — The spreading- college basketball scandal involved 12 more players from nine addi tional colleges Wednesday, raising the total in the New York investi gation alone to 25 players and 1C schools. Investigation Continues The probe is continuing, said Dist. Atty. Frank S. Hogan as he made the new disclosures. In ad dition to the New York action, North Carolina authorities have charged three North Caroline State basketball players with ac cepting bribes to shave points. Present revelations may only have scratched the surface, offi cials indicated. The current in quiry threatens to dwarf the 1951 mess which implicated 33 players from 7 colleges. Three players—one from New York University and two from St. John’s University (NY)—were named as bribe takers by Hogan. One from the State University of Iowa and one from Dayton Uni versity—were named as interme diaries. And seven from six col leges-:—St. Bonaventure, Colorado, St. John’s (NY), Seattle, Niagara and Bradley—were said by Hogan to have received and rejected but failed to report bribe offers. Hogan emphasized there is no criminal penalty for failure to re port a bribe offer. He added, however, that such a failure might violate the regulations of the in dividual school. New List Revealed The New York County district attorney revealed the new list of involved players in announcing the indictment of Joseph Haeken, 48, New York, oh 17 counts of bribery in the corruption of basketball players and one count of conspir- ucy. He also named David Budin, l. former physical education teach er at a Brooklyn Junior High School, as a co-cohspirator. Haeken, and Aaron Wagman, a copvicted New York football fix er, were arrested March 17 when Hogan first broke open the new basketball scandals. Wagman if in prison, in lieu of $60,000 bail awaiting trial. Raymond Paprocky of New York University, was said by Hogan to have accepted $1,300 from Haeken to fix four games last season. Michael Parent! and William Chrystal of St. John’s were named by Hogan as having allegedly re ceived $4,450 each to fix five games during the 1956-57 season the last season for the players. Freshmen Caught Hogan said the intermediaries were two freshmen from Brooklyn —Cornelius Hawkins of Iowa, who recently left school, and Roger Brown of Dayton. The district attorney said Brown received $250 BOOKS BOOKS (D Q At O © O SHAFFER’S W V) WE BUY BOOKS GC WE SELL BOOKS w o o WE TRADE BOOKS © o w pp mum s © o BOOK STORE § © m For The Graduate W GIFTS © O Jewelry, © Q Imprinted Stationery, P3 Sheaffer & Parker Pen Sets, Leather Brief- cases & Notebooks BOOKS S3 Roget’s Thesaurus © © Webster’s Dictionary © O Emily Post Etiquette s £5 Army Wife Guide Army Officer’s Guide Air Force Wife Guide (Z3 Air Force Officer’s w £ Guide © © RECORDS © O Joni James £2 Julie London & Kingston Trio Frank Sinatra Nat.

All-American Involved Maurice (Corky) Gilmore, New Canaan, Conn., U. of Colorado. By HAROLD V. RATLIFF Associated Press Sports Writer This is the time of the year when high school athletes can run afoul of the Texas Interscholastic League amateur rule if they don’t know the ramifications of this strict regulation or if they think they can get away with a viola tion. There have been many boys for feit their high school eligibility for doing what the rule says they can’t. The first big case, one that brought the rule into focus, oc curred ‘in the early forties. It involved Jitter McKinney, a great football player at Lufkin High School. It was all very innocent and neither McKinney nor those who made the gift knew they were violating a rule. A group of fans got up a fund to buy McKinney a suit of clothes. It occurred during the off season and Lufkin itself asked for a rul ing. The district committee found McKinney ineligible. Undoubtedly most of the viola tions are through ignorance of the regulation. Thus, it is well that the schoolboys be warned -^ach year in the press and that the coaches and school officials instruct the athletes thoroughly on the rule. One pf the sports that has given major trouble is rodeo, especially iunior rodeo for boys not over 21 vears of age. The promoters of the rodeos persist in wanting to give valuable prizes for attain- U. S. foreign trade is booming and so is the demand for college graduates trained in that field, according to international trade specialists at The American In stitute for Foreign Trade, world- earned post-graduate school in Phoenix Arizona, for the ' train ing of young college graduates genuinely interested in a career overseas with U. S. business or government. R. S. Roberts, vice president of The American Institute and widely-known foreign trade au thority, who last year completed 11 years in Brazil as a Sears of Brazil executive, as the origina tor of the first supermarket chain in Brazil, and finally as a consultant to U. S., foreign, and Brazilian firms, said that U. S. international businesses had in vested $32 billion overseas as of last year, representing a 17.2% average increase per year. He placed the earnings from these foreign investments at $3 billion, 700 million. U. S. foi'eign sales totaled $64 billion, with exports at $21 billion and sales by U. S. foreign subsidiaries at $43 bil lion of the total. Roberts, a 1948 graduate of the Institute, applauded the major role played by the 3,000 gradu ates of this 15-year-old school in the meteoric rise of U. S. foreign trade. Senator Barry Goldwater, Ari zona, member of the Institute board of directors, in a recent speech on the U. S. Senate floor, called American Institute alumni “America’s best-trained and most highly-respected corps of goodwill ambassadors.” He described the Institute as private industry’s training ground for its corps of junior executives in 78 foreign nations.

There is the celebrated calf scramble whereby a boy who catches a calf may keep the ani mal. The League worked out a plan under which he can own a calf if he keeps it for a year, feeds it, grooms it and shows it. The League will consider that the boy has earned the calf. The amateur rule means that any student who receives cash or valuable consideration for teach ing, officiating or participating in athletics will be considered a pro fessional and will have to forfeit any high school eligibility he has remaining. The boy cannot compete on an athletic team with a paid player nor can he allow his name to be used for the promotion of any product, plan or service. The League considers these sports to be under the scope of the amateur rule: baseball, basket ball, bowling, boxing, football, golf, rodeo events, softball, swim ming and diving, tennis, track, weight lifting and wrestling. A boy cannot accept anything considered valuable consideration frpm the promoters of these sports. In a golf tournament a boy can take only something of symbolic nature, like a cup or medal; he can not take a golf bag, a set of club or a batch of golf balls. Moreover, the boy can not play with a professional although he can play against him. He can receive instructions from a pro fessional. are sought annually at The Amer ican Institute for Foreign Trade by more than 500 U. S. interna tional business and banking firms. Fifty percent of the 1960-61 grad uates had college majors in liberal arts or sciences. Forty-five per cent had majored in business ad ministration. Cited by U. S. and foreign in dustrialists, educators, and high government officials as America’s most effectual institution for the practical training of college grad uates in foreign trade, The Amer ican Institute offers a 3-part cur riculum designed to train its po tential junior executives in day- ] to-day foreign trade techniques, the living culture of the peoples of world market areas, and a foreign language. Recruiters from U. S. international firms have made it clear that they equate general cul tural knowledgeability, a properly- adjusted attitude toward an over seas career, and aptitude when they select Institute graduates. About 250 carefully-screened young men are graduated yearly. The post-graduate course of study lasts two semesters and starts from the beginning both in Sep tember and in January. Industry and government offi cials say there is no institution of comparable stature where deter mined college graduates may so effectively groom themselves for a lucrative career abroad. Senator Goldwater predicts that most Am ericans who become business lead ers in trade centers around the world in the next few years will have been trained “specifically at The American Institute for For eign Trade.” (For more detailed information, please communicate with The Registrar, The American Institute for Foreign Trade, P.

Two Physical Education .Professors Become Authors Two A&M physical education professors, Les Palmer and Emil Mamaliga, have become authors of two different books within the past year. One of the books demonstrates how to build up your body with the use of weights while the other gives the fundamentals of base ball. Palmer, who is a graduate of A&M, is one of the head scouts for the Los Angeles Angels in the American League. He had assist ance in writing the book from Wally Moon, a former Aggie base ball player and star outfielder of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and A1 Monchak, a manager in the Mil waukee Brave chain. The book’s title is “Baseball Fundamentals for Fathers and Sons.” Palmer’s book is recommended for all persons interested in the game of baseball. J. B. Carroll, Fish baseball coach, said, “You don’t i-eally realize how little you know about baseball until you have read this book.” Mamaliga, a graduate of Ohio State and diving coach, has com piled all his knowledge, in the art of weight training and has come up with a book that he says wil' help anyone in gaining or losing weight. Aggie Golfer Ties For Top Honors Johnny Johnson, a junior from Harlingen and member of the Ag gie golf team, tied for top honors in the Cameron Invitation Golf Tournament last Sunday at the Cameron Country Club. He tied with George Smith from Hearne. Harry Hoskins, another Aggie, won first place last year. Over 600 high schools and alu; 50 colleges are using his prop] in weight lifting, and the prof is even being used internatiom Mamaliga’s book is enti “Body Development This Weight Training.” Mamalip said, “If you follow this progrp, five clays a week for 30 mint a day, you will lose at least pounds in three weeks.” Anyone interested in purchasi: either of these books should n tact these two professors at Rollie White Coliseum. “Sports Car Center 1 ' Dealers for Renault-Peugeot & British Motor Cars Sales—Parts—Service ‘We Service All Foreign Caf 1416 Texas Ave. TA 2-4511 BRAZOS VALLEY — FANCY, FAT, FULLY DRESSED V i£-.> ;l ;.
