LAWRENCE, Kans., Jan. 81
officials of the NCAA send their
basket ball teams right into the nest
Of professional gambling and then
deplore betting on intercollegiate
athletics. says Phog Allen, who has
been yelping at the heels of gam
blers for months.
1.-THE National Collegiate Athletic
Association met in Columbus in JAN
uary and expressed regret at the
prevalence Of gambling on intercol-
legiate sports" Allen, basket ball
coach at the University of Kansas
asserted in an interview today. But
they continue to team up with pro-
fessional promoters to hold tourna-
ments in arenas where every one
knows big-time gamblers operate in
hordes."
What paradox" yelled Phog.
1t is sad commentary" on the
NCAA, Phog observed, when with
the top teams of the Nation it Is
forced to seek aid from PROFESSIONAL
to conduct its own tournament.
1.-THE political oligarchy Of the
NCAA is busy keeping a self-per-
petuating group in power rather
than trying to smash at the cancer
eating at the heart of intercollegiate
athletics" Allen contended.
They'd better get busy or inter
collegiate sports will be deader than
a door nail. These Brooklyn gam
t-ers charged with giving bribes are
just small timers. Just peanuts

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-Johnny
Greco, the 5000 900 kid, may become

Army quintets clash in the feature

Akron originally had been

and when the latter team was
scratched as a result of its gambling
scandal, 1t was impossible to obtain
suitable opponents for the Ohio
collegians. The Garden manage
ment contacted Holy Cross, Rhode

AS "a result the Army quintets

Don't look now, but that Coolidge
quintet that has been stumbling
around in the interhigh basket ball
championship finally has caught
fire and threatens to burn up the
series before the hoop shooting is
over.
Coolidge, knocking off a strong
Blair team, Al to %, on home hard
wood, was one of trio of District
public high schools that sharpened
form yesterday at the expense OF
outlying fives. Wilson, currently
deadlocked with Eastern for the in
terhigh lead, went to Washington

and Western finally found some
one 1t could lick in Hyattsville, de-
feated, So to 33, on the Red Raiders
court.
On the strength shown in the win
over Blair, Coolidge has jumped out
of the underdog class and seems a
sure thing to whip Anacostia in series
play the week end and a heavy ia
vorite to take Central the follow
ing week before colliding with the
champion Fasteners the next week
end. The Colts presently are tied
with Central for third place in the
loop with two wins and two tum-
bles, and, facing an easier schedule
in the next two weeks, are in a
position to do themselves lot of
good.
Leading Scorer Is Banished.
Blair rates as one of the best
teams in the Metropolitan Area, and
licking the Blazers hot only is a
feather in Coolidge's cap but proof
that the Colts can stand up in
rough-and- tumble play. Yesterday
game was full of action, with the
high scorer of the contest, Billy
Lake of Coolidge, thrown off the

call unnecessary roughness."
