Southwest Conference May Be Poor, But It’s Honest! —June limit 9< 0c a 9‘ 0c By HAROLD V. RATLIFF Associated Press Sports Writer During the first basketball scan- lal there came a humiliating note 'or the Southwest Conference. An Eastern team said it tried to shave ;he points but its opponent—South- irri Methodist—was such an inept learn it couldn’t for the life of it lold the score down. It made the folks hereabouts |feel pretty low. But in the light of ensuing events they should lave been delighted. Everybody must admire those who may be ioor but honest. Anyway, it meant the Southwest Conference probably would never jet mixed up in the mess that is lo-called bigtime basketball. Now years, later, there’s an even torse scandal. But the Southwest igain isn’t involved. Its teams iren’t comparable to those of other lections but they at least are hon- Est and they have not overempha sized the game. It’s when a sport has become of overpowering interest that gamb lers get in their licks, fixing the games so they can make financial :oups. Basketball is of interest in the Southwest Conference and has been growing more so each year, but it still isn’t a game to cause everyone to lose his sense of bal ance. It isn’t fair hunting for the fix ers because the sport is conducted on sane and reasonable grounds. The athletes are treated as ama teurs and the stars from other areas, where basketball is so big there ip mad bidding for their services, are not sought. The Southwest couldn’t pay the price in the first place. They don’t have a summer bas ketball circuit, the game is played within its season and not the year around and the good boys are not courted with big inducements. The Southwest Conference has its recruiting well in hand. The league is so closely-knit few can get by with anything anyway. So a bad example isn’t set for the ath lete to begin with. A valid argu ment is that college athletes may 'turn bad when they are recruited illegally—'they figure they have a right to be crooked if the college officials are. The conference people are watch ing the situation closely. They are the first to admit that there could be a scandal because everybody is not untouchable in any group. But it won’t be because the officials didn’t do everything possible to prevent it. Already the basketball coaches are bringing in members of the FBI to tell the boys about the pit- falls and legal angles. Next win ter the coaches all plan to have FBI men come in and lecture to the squads. If by that time the federal law governing bribes, is enacted their appearance will be even more forcefull. A good way to prevent a scan dal is strike at the source. The fixer usually tries to ingratiate himself with an athlete before making his pitch. The Southwest Conference looks with suspicion upon what it calls lavish enter tainment. If some athlete is en tertained on a grandiose scale there is an investigation even if it’s by an alumnus of the school where the athlete is already com peting. The gambling fixer is go ing to have a difficult time get ting to an athlete in the South west Conference. -GROCERIES- DR PEPPER re::; 49c Best Maid SALAD DRESSING at 39c Light Crust FLOUR Nabisco—Premium CRACKERS Libby ! ’s POTTED MEAT L2 26-Oz.
