NEW DEVELOPMENTS UNLIKEL1
T’
Cage Fixing Probe To Continue
By HAROLD V. RATLIFF
Associated Press Sports Writer
The investigation will go on, itf
unobstrusively, in the alleged fi:t-
ing of Southwest Conference bas
ketball games. But all indications
are that there will no further de
velopments and by the time the
next season opens—three months
from now—it will be all but Tor-
gotten.
To be sure, some fan will went
his spleen on the officials when
decisions don’t jibe with his
wishes and he’ll make an unlcind

this?” But the officials are going

Porkers 9 Broyles Makes
Final Personnel Changes
Special to The Battalion,
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Inten
sive film study and hours of staff
conferences have resulted in sev
eral significant personnel moves
for the 1962 Arkansas Razorbacks
who will report for practice Sat
urday. These changes were an
nounced today by head coach
Frank Broyles.
“Our staff considered seriously
the move to a three-unit system—
then studied films of our spring
drills to provide the most experi
ence possible at each position.
That is our intention this fall,”
Broyles said. “Our Big Red unit
will be two-way with a couple of
exceptions; our Wild Hogs will be
basically a defensive unit; and our
Tusk Hogs will be an offensive
team. Again I want to emphasize
the fact that our loss of some
really great seniors has prompted
this change. We hope to over
come the lack of experience by
concentrating our attention on one
phase of the game for our soph
omores and red-shirts,” he added.
THE BIGGEST move announced
concerned 215-pound senior Danny
Brabham from Greensberg, La. A
stand-out all-state fullback in high
school, Brabham was moved to
linebacker as a freshman to fill
a critical need at that time. He
has remained as a guard-linebacker
for the last two years and was
slated for a shift to tackle.
“He told me last spring that he’d
like to have a chance to play full
back as a senior,” said Broyles,
“and we’ve decided to give him
that opportunity. He’ll certainly
give us that extra size we need
there.” Brabham, a near straight-
A student majoring in agriculture,
stands 6-4 and has good speed.
“He’ll be a two-way player—
handling the monster-man spot on
defense,” Broyles added.
OTHER SIGNIFICANT changes
included a shift of junior guard
Gary Howard of Tulsa to weak-
side end; the moving of junior Jim
John of Stuttgart from weakside
end to the strongside position; and
a shift of redshirt fullback Kenny
Dean of Gillett to tailback.
have cause for hurt feelings or
anger.
Nothing has been done yet that
could bring anybody to book and
the general opinion is that only
a direct admission could lead to
an indictment. That hardly seems
probable in view of past happen
ings.
The House Investigating Com
mittee, which brought the matter
into the open with public hearings
at Waco and Austin, doesn’t con
template any further probing as
far as can be ascertained. Ob
viously it did not uncover suffi
cient evidence of point-shaving
that would warrant a criminal
charge.
THE HEARINGS actually dem-
onstrated the fact that it is vir
tually impossible to detect crook
edness in basketball — that is,
enough to stand up in courts.
Films of the games were studied
by experts. They said it was a
futile search.
Abb Curtis, veteran official and
supervisor of the men in the
striped shirts, says there are so
many judgment plays in basket
ball—practically all of them are—
that one can not declare with any
positiveness that there is point
shaving or fixing going on.
The investigator has to know
that an official is supposed to be
fixing a game before he can detect
anything that may not be accord
ing to par. Even then it has to be
done by studying a series of games
to determine if a pattem is being
established. Yet that evidence
wouldn’t be strong to sustain legal
action alone.
If the law enforcement agencies
were permitted to tap telephones
there might be evidence uncovered
beyond the realm of the circum
stantial. Where judgment plays
are involved, it is difficult to ob
tain circumstantial evidence strong
enough to resolve the reasonable
doubt that a juror must hold in
his mind.
THERE HAVE BEEN a number
of basketball scandals in the past
dozen years but none of them got
court convictions without confes
sions.
Even college authorities realize
that point shaving and fixing are
likely to go on in basketball be
cause betting can’t be stopped.
They do know, however, that vigi
lance can cut the danger to a
minimum.
The gamblers themselves could
be the stop-gap. It was the gam
bling element that blew the whistle
on the alleged fixing in Southwest
Conference basketball. Gamblers
told about it because they had
taken a financial licking through
the manipulations of some of their
own people.
The Southwest Conference will
do nothing out of the ordinary
next season because it alreadyl*
been doing all it can in selecfe
the best men available for
officiating, laying down the oil;
tangible requirements and makis
sure that it has the men whoil
not need crooked money. An oft i
cial in the conference must k
some other source of income, Tb
the temptation to go wrong isle
sened from the beginning,
man’s employment also has
bearing on his selection. Ifafi
low worked at a shady tavst
where there was opportunity
come in contact with a crooks
gambling element there is lit
question that the man would m
be hired to officiate.
It’s a pretty safe bet-oo!>
