District college basket ball teams
reached for a bromo today after a
rough Saturday night on the road,
but they faced consolation in this
weeks 11-game schedule which is
divided between six home games and
five on foreign courts.
Three teams took winning streaks
out of town Saturday night and
Maryland made its debut-but all
four came back with defeats.
George Washington made the
best showing as it outscored un-
beaten Seton Hall, 21-19 from the
floor but lost by converting only
6 foul shots to II for the hosts,
stamped as one of the best teams in
the East. The Colonials tied the
scored at 41-all in the second half
but finally lost out, 55-48.
American U. was hampered by in
turies in losing to William and Mary,
1874. The Eagles John Wakefield
was out with an arm injury and
Fred Fling was hurt in the second
half and was carried from the court
after leading the attack at that
time with 13 points. The Indians
were ahead all the way but A. U.
hung from to 10 points back and
closed the gap to 4 at the games S
end.
Maryland is convinced that West
Virginia is headed back to New
York for postseason honors again

Hopes Faces Ban for Life;
Fiichock Cleared in Plot

NEW YORK, Dec. l6-Merle
Hapes faces possible banishment
from professional football for life
as a consequence of his involvement
in the attempt to ''fix" yesterdays
championship playoff between the
Chicago Bears and New York
Giants.
Frank Filchock, former Redskin
who quarterbacked the Giants in
their 24-14 defeat by the Bears, was
completely exonerated by Commits
sioner Bert Bell of the National
Football League of completely in the
matter. Filchock also was reported
to have been offered bribe to throw
the game, but Bell said he was ap-
preached "by innuendo," and was
wholly blameless. F'ilchock not only
was permitted to play in the game
but fired two passes for the Giants

Even if Hapes is proved innocent,
his failure to notify club or National
League officials of an alleged offer
of $2,50O, plus a $1,000 bet on the
game, has cooked his goose in the
league. The matter is being handled
automatically, not to say gingerly,
by all concerned, but it is plain that
Hapes is through in this circuit and
under the circumstances the ALL

Preseason Fayorites
Fall by Wayside in
Early Court Play
By fhe Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 16-Sports fans,
still in a whirl over the amazing
number of form reversals in the
football season just concluded, al
ready have discovered that the pig
skin performers do not hold mo-
nopoly on upsets.
With the national college basket
ball campaign only two weeks old,
such preseason favorites for cham
pionship honors as Notre Dame,
Oklahoma A. & NJ, De Paul, Kansas,
Temple, Michigan and ST. Johns
of Brooklyn already have tasted de-
feat
On the other hand, such new
corners to the top ranks as Seton
Hall, st. Joseph's of Philadelphia,
City College, Texas, Louisiana State,
Santa Clara and Bradley Tech have
shown indications that they will
have to be reckoned with this year
Kentucky Indicated.
The early dose of upset-itis has
failed thus far to touch such eminent
quintets as Kentucky, unofflcially
rated as the No. team of the ma
tion; Illinois, the Wildcats closest
rival; New York University, West
Virginia, North Carolina, Minnesota,
Iowa, Syracuse, Ohio State, Dart
mouth and Others Each has looked
impressive in winning all its games
Probably the biggest eyebrow litter
was Notre Danes defeat by Wiscon-
sin, 54-49 in overtime, Saturday
night The Irish had won each of
their three previous contests easily,
including a 10-point win over In
diana. Other major upsets included
Vermont's 61-59 win over Yale; st.
Johns defeat by Nevada, which In
turn was upset by Georgetown; Kan
sas' setback by Southern Methodist
for the Kansas City tournament title,
and Kansas States victories over
both Oklahoma and Arkansas.
The best won and lost record is
held by Bowling Green with 10
victories but the Ohio outfit will
face it's stiffest test Thursday when
it meets City College, with a 60
record at Madison Square Garden.
Kentucky, with one-sided tri-
umpl1s over De Paul, Tulane and
Texas A. and NJ among its seven
victories, has Tailed 64 or more

Illinois Shows Power.

Grid Subsidies Seen
Out Of Hand, S.W.
Schools 10 Act
BY the Associoted Press

DALLAS, Tex, Dec. 16.-How will
you keep an old grad from taking
care" of star athlete for going to
the alumnus' college and playing
football?
What's to prevent him from slip
ping the athletic young man a
couple of fifties or suit of clothes
now and then-either to get him to
attend the old grads college or to
keep him satisfied while he's there?
The Southwest Conference Faculty
Committee is tackling the problem.
Present Rules Inadequate.
Meeting here over the week end
the conference fathers frankly adj
mitted subsidization of athletes had
gotten out of hand and said some
thing needed to be done about it.
Existing rules do not come close to
controlling the situation so long as
there is no way to curb the alumni
in their overzealous efforts to give
the old college great football team.
The Southwest Conference is con-
sidering several methods, the chief
one being to work through the coach
and athletic director.
A representative will be sent to
the National Collegiate Athletic AS
sociation meeting in New York next
month. There he will find out what
other conferences are doing to
handle the situation. Later there
will be a special meeting Of the
Southwest Conference fathers to
outline definite formula.
Bell Suggests Open Help.
But take it from Matty Bell, vet
eran coach and athletic director of
Southern Methodist, the only way
to get the job done is to have a
policeman. You will need a reg
ular FBI to prevent the alumni
from helping the boys on the side"
said Bell. Even then I'd think it
would be difficult to uncover all the
offenses. Moreover, how is the
coach or athletic director to know
when an outsider slips an athlete
something?
"I think the solution is to give
each athlete enough legitimately
that he won't need help from out
siders. 1t won't really take lot
to do it and the athlete deserves it.
He not only does everything other
students do, but performs for the
athletics teams in addition, helps
pack the stadiums and bring in the
money. Let's not be hypocritical
about it.
Frankly I don't think subsidiza-
ton is any worse than it ever has
been and I am not alarmed about
the situation. Either we have to
have rules with real teeth in them
to stop all of it or we must lay
the cards on the table and openly
help the boys"
Under Southwest Conference rules
an athlete may be given scholar
ship that includes tuition, fees and
books and job that will pay for
his board, room and laundry.

Regular Season Over,
"A. A. GriddersLoo
To Title Tilt Sunday
BY the Assoeioted Press

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 16. - The
ll-America Football Conference,
having hurdled its first regular sea-
son with fair success, looked for
ward today to its initial champion
ship playoff next Sunday between
the Cleveland Browns and the New
York Yankees.
The Los Angeles Dons and Chi
cago Rockets rang down the regula-
ton curtain with a 17-17 tie yester-
day before 22,515 fog-bound spec
tators in Memorial Coliseum.
Los Angeles finished with seven
wins, five losses and two ties, good
for third place in the conferences
Western Division, while the Rockets
closed out fourth at five-siX-three.
DOns Poor at Gate.
Coached by Dud De Groot, the
occasionally powerful Dons showed
consistency only at the gate, where
they were uniformly poor. The
final gathering brought the Dons'
seven-game home attendance to
about 139,000-an average of just
under 10000 per contest.
This compared with the 1880
average of the rival National League
Rams, and even the well-heeled
management of the Dons conceded
they would have to do better than
that next year.

before the 1947 season rolls around.
But that, if the attitude of the
