THE BATTALION
FAIRY TALE WITH SAD ENDING
Gambling Is Real Monster
By JIM BUTLER
Once upon a time, there was a
handsome young - prince. He lived
in a castle on a hill and everyone
in the country respected him and
marveled at his feats in battle.
Then one day he was invited to
a sumptuous feast by an ogre, dis
guised as a prosperous merchant.
The young prince ate and ate until
he could hardly move. Then the
ogre discarded his disguise and
devoured the young prince.
The preceding tale could easily
have been the story of Paul Horn-
ung - , star halfback for the world
champion Green Bay Packers foot
ball team, who was fined $2,000
and suspended indefinitely by the
commissioner of the National Foot
ball League, Pete Rozelle, Wednes
day.
HORNUNG’S over - indulgence
dealt not with food but with a cur
rent nemesis of athletics — gamb
ling. And Hornung’s mistake, had
it not been caught early in the
stag'e of the game, could very well
have devoured the handsome, young
gridiron hero.
Had Hoimung’s efforts to beat
the odds been allowed to continue,
he may have found himself deep
in debt to the gambling ogres and
consequently, very susceptible to
suggestions to control the point
spread in Packer games. It is
doubtful that the Green Bay star
would have done this, but when
the suggestions are accompanied
by threats of harm to family and
friends, the outcome could be far
from good.
THE SAME could have happened
to Alex Karras, standout defen
sive lineman for the Detroit Lions,
who received a similar punishment
from Rozelle for betting and as
sociating - with undesirable persons.
The penalities may seem a trifle
too severe on the surface, but when
future consequences are considei - -
ed, Rozelle’s action seems to be a
very wise move.
The announcement of the suspen
sion of the two football players fol
lowed closely the i - ecent scandal in
Pro Grid Stars Suspended,
Fined For Betting Activities
By The Associated Press
Paul Hornung reacted humbly
and Alex Karras bitterly Wednes
day after their indefinite suspen
sion from the National Football
Leavue for betting on games.
“T made a terrible mistake, T
realize that now.” said Hornung.
versatile halfback of the Green
Bav packers, in Louisville. “I am
trulv sorrv. What else is there to
sav? I have given the true facts
to commissioner Pete Rozelle and
he has made his decision based
on the facts.”
“It comes as a shock to me.”
Karras said in Detroit, where he
starred for three years as a de
fensive giant of the Lions. “I
haven’t done anything that I am
ashamed of and T am not guiltv
of anything.” Asked if he planned
anv protest, Karras said: “I sure
do ”
FIVE OTHER Detroit plavers
were fined $2,000 each for betting
$50 each on Green Bav to beat
the New York Giants last Decem
ber in the 1962 title game. Thev are
John Gordv, guard; Gary Lowe,
defensive back: Joe Schmidt, all
league middle linebacker: Wavue
Walker, linebacker, and Sam Wil
liams, defensive end.
The Detroit club was fined
$4,000 because Coach George Wil
son failed to forward to the proper
authorities reports by Detroit po
lice “of certain associations by
members of the Detroit team.”
Other clubs contacted by The
Associated Press were seRdlv be
hind commissioner Rozelle in his
conduct of the investigation. And
Son. John McC 1 ollan. D - Ark.,
chairman of the Senate committee
investigating alleged sports fixing
and gambling, called the actions
“definite steps in the right direc
tion.”
AT THE SAME time, the rival
American Football League said
under no. circumstances would it
sign Hornung or Karras, although
Rozelle had said they wnre “legal
ly fvoe to pla^” either m the AFT,
or Canada while remaining on the
reserve list of the NFL during the
period of the suspension.
S'dnev Halter, Canadian Foot
ball League commissioner, said in
Winnipeg that he would “refuse
to register anv contract submitted
by a CFL club with a player sus
pended by an American league for
betting on games.” That closed
that door.
William Clay Ford, president of
the Lions, said the club will com
ply with the commissioner’s oi - der
“but such compliance does not
mean that we agree with the na
ture or the extent of the penalties
imposed.” He added: “We didn’t
think it would be as rough as
this.”
ALTHOUGH Karras indicated he
would look into playing either in
the AFL or Canada, both AFL
Commissioner Joe Foss and his
assistant, Milt Woodward, said
there was no chance of any club
in their league signing the two
suspended NFL stars.
sas and is investigating alleged
sports fixing and gambling on all
fronts.
It is an appalling thought that
the results of sporting events
which hold the interest of mil
lions of Americans are not being
decided before the eyes of the
•spectators but somewhere in the
backg-round.
Who knows where the ogre will
pop-up again ?
And who knows-when and where
it will end?
the Southeastern Conference con
cerning Wallace Butts, former ath
letic director at the University of
Georgia, and Paul Bryant, former
A&M football coach and current
head coach at the University of
Alabama.
INVESTIGATION into the
Butts-Bryant affair, brought to
light by a Saturday Evening Post
article, is still going on and gamb
ling could easily have been at the
root of the matter though conclu
sive evidence has not been found.
These two black marks on sports
are not isolated instances. A short
while back, two college basketball
players were convicted of trying to
“fix” college cage games. This
also brings to mind the “fixing”
of Southwest Conference basket
ball games by an unnamed official
which occurred two seasons ago.
Infiltration by big-time gambling
is not restricted to one sport, nor
does it only happen to the “other
guy.” It is a problem that con
cerns everyone and the blame
rests not on one or two individuals,
but society as a whole.
THE INFLUENCE of gambling
can be seen in the apparently harm
less football contests run in most
daily newspapers and the popular
ity of wagering on horses, .to say
nothing of the booming business
carried on in Reno and Las Vegas,
which supports the state of Nevada.
So great and far-reaching have
been the activities of these cor
ruptions that they now have their
very own Senate investigating com
mittee. The committee is chaired
by Sen. John McClellan.
