RATLIFF Associated Press Sports Writer Two years ago they were saying it couldn’t happen here—shaving points in basketball. The Southwest Conference, they said, didn’t have folks like that. Its basketball wasn’t of the caliber to attract the gamblers and fixers. It wasn’t high-powered as in the east and mid-west. They played for fun down here. The recruiting was on a reason able plane. There was no summer basketball where the gamblers and fixers might make their initial contacts. THERE WERE no inducement^ that called for money under the table. The recruiting wasn’t un ethical and didn’t give the boys the idea that the college folks weren’t so high-minded after all and that they wouldn’t really be doing any worse than the recruiters if they accepted payoffs to throw basket ball games. But it was indicated that the fix ers thought the Southwest Confer ence was as good a place as any to rig basketball games. Anywhere there was a contest that attracted attention was a place for shaving points so that a killing could be made on the betting line. And it didn’t necessarily have to be the players anyway. Thus came the confei'ence’s first scandal. No one ever was put in legal jeopardy but a legislative in vestigation was designed to bring into the open some dark suspicions. The conference folks expressed the belief that some officials had shaved points although nothing could be legally proved. THUS, the alleged fixing was, stowed away as a sort of bad dream. General opinion was that the agitation that had come would put a halt to any further shenani gans. Now, that should have taken care of it, shouldn’t it? The players weren’t going* to get into the thing and there was no other angle from which it might be worked. But what about the students? One at Rice was reported to have offered a bribe to two .players to shave points. It was nipped in the bud when the players told school officials about it. But it left everybody pretty well shaken up. There were just too many angles to the thing. The idea began forming that it was going to be impossible to keep the fix out of basketball. 1 BATTALION CLASSIFIED WANT AD RATES ie i 2t day per word per word each additional day Minim ?e—40^ i mom charRe- DEADLJNE J p.m. day before publication Classified Display 804 per column inch each insertion PHONE VI 6-6415 1963 — SUMMER SESSIONS ABROAD University of San Francisco GUADALAJARA, Mexico—June 29-Aug. 3 $240.00 includes tuition, board and room, and activities.
