Gaze Mentors Criticize
Integrity Of Athletes
By Jack Sords

LAWRENCE, Kas., Oct. 81
B-Emil Liston, executive direc-
tor of the National Association of
intercollegiate basketball, who
censured DR.. Forrest c. (Phog)
Allen of Kansas university for
lack of faith in American youth, -
has been joined by Vadal Peter
son. Utah cage coach, in criticiz-
ing Phog's assertion that gam
blers threaten integrity Of college
athletes.
Peterson confirmed Aliens as
sertion that a man had come to
his hotel room in New York and
asked how much it would cost for
Utah to lose a game. But Peterson
said the incident was closed when
he shut the door in the mans face.
He added that he did not want
to become party to reform
movement against gambling.
Liston, coach at Baker Univer-
sity, Baldwin, Kas., said in a state
ment Saturday that Aliens char
ges showed a "deplorable lack Of
faith in American youth and mea-
ger confidence in the integrity of
coaches"
II find Mr.. Listens childlike
faith very touching and I hope
nothing ever happens to enlighten
him." was Phog's only retort to his
former pupils statement.
Allen coached Liston when the
latter was student at Baker in
1907.
Peterson, in Salt Lake City, said
that fans bet on basketball games
just as they do on elections or
any other contest.
IT am sure the management Of
Madison Square garden would be
the first to move if il thought that
gambling affected the outcome OF
play of any game" Peterson said.
Allen had this to say about Pet
erson's comment:
'Vadal is talking about betting
by fans. have no argument with
the fan who wants to bet on any
game.
But the man who came to his
hotel room and asked how much
it would cost to have Utah throw
a game was not fan contemplate
ing casual wager"
Allen said that he joined Peter
SON in his belief that Madison
Square Garden made every eff
fort to prevent gambling. He add
ed that his only target of .criti-
cism was the professional gamb-
Ter who, Allen said, would like to
fix college games.
