In Bribe Attempt
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-Welter-
weight Champion Ray Robinson to-
day Joined Middleweight Contender
Rocky Graziano in the State Ath-
letic Commissions doghouse.
Charged with failure to tell the
comission ABOUT $4,000 offer given
him not to go through with fight.
Robinson was suspended for 80 days
and finedfS500. The penalty was far
less severe than the one given to
Graziano for failure to report Q
$1G0, 900 bribe bid to go into the
tank" in a fight with Ruben Shank
of Denver which never came of.
Graziano's license was revoked.
In RobinSon'S case, the Harlem
boxer said ne was approached by
an unidentified man at his Green
wood Lake IN. " training camp
last August. The stranger suggested
that Ray be unable to make the l47-
pound welterweight maximum for
the Marty Servo go. This fight, too,
never came off, because Servo re-
tired from, boxing with an injured
nose.
The commission took cognizancs
'of testimony that Ray promptly
and vigorously rejected the offer.
and at no time was in collusion with
any sinister influence" 1t described
as incredible" however, Robinson's
testimony that the unidentified
stranger merely offered to bet the

.Longden Is Set Down
Pending Inquiry Into
Colt S Wide Race
BY the Associated Press

ARCADIA, Calf, Feb. 18-Amer-
ica's winningest jockey, Johnny
Longden, was on the carpet today.
Santa Anita Park stewards ad-
vised Longden, who has ridden
nearly $500 winners in his 20-year
career, not to accept any mounts
until they had met today to discuss
Stepfather's disqualification in the
San Vicente Handicap.
Longden rode the Louis B. Mayer
colt to a half-length victory Satur-
day, but three other jockeys lodged
protests that Stepfather interfered
with their horses in the stretch run.
After viewing movies, the stewards
put Stepfather out of the money and
declared second-place Hubble Bubble
the winner.
Longden claimed he was forced
into the rail and, when he hit Step
father to keep him straight, the
horse veered out
1t was the first disqualification in
a major handicap in Santa Anita's
10-year history and the third in
three days.
The other two setbacks came last
Thursday and one involved Longden.
Most horsemen, however, seemed
to believe that the action Of Long
den'S mounts was not his fault. The
little veteran. they pointed out, has
one of the cleanest records on the
Nations turf -' '--'
In fact, Longden generally is re-
garded as a rider who takes few
chances and usually circles field
to avoid trouble.
Stepfather, now rated q favorite
for the 100000 Santa Anita Derby
is one of the Mayer horses that will
be sold at auction February q.

Houqhton to Coach Maryland U. IS Golf r cam

Helping the golf pros celebrate
their Monday day off by making
the rounds of the sports goods
stores:
AL Houghton, who will talk
about the $4,000 Open at Prince
Georges at the drop of hat, or
even if you don't have hat to
drop, will coach the University
of Maryland golf team, he an
nounced yesterday.
Due to the pressure of business
at his club Houghton will not
give golf lessons as a part of the
physical education course, as in
prewar years, but will concentrate
on developing six-man team.
The Prince Georges pro also
disclosed the old third nine of
his club has been sold and large
housing development will be
started there in August.
The announcement of the Mid
die Atlantic Golf Association
melting on Friday night includes
a tentative first week in June
date for the M. A. amateur
championship at Pennington
c. c. IN Charlottesville. AS June
5-8 is reserved for the Nations
Capital Open, however, it is
doubtful the member clubs will
go for such direct conflict and
the dates probably will be
changed.

successive 10-round decision over
Curtis (Hatchet Mani Sheppard
Bivins, slamming away from the

opened the Philadelphian's eye early
in the first round and kept the
wound bleeding, by vicious jabbing
throughout the fight.
Outweighted 10 pounds-Bivins
scaled only 185-the Clevelander
probably will meet Jersey Joe Wal
colt of Camden, N. j., in his next

Northwestern Seeks
Grid Coach From
LIST Of Five Men
BY the Asseeiated Press

CHICAGO, Feb. 18.-In a race
against an April deadline, the
date Northwestern's spring football
drills open, Athletic Director Ted
Payseur today was buzzing around
the country hunting a head coach.
Instead Of a road map, he was
guided by a hastily compiled list
of candidates which include at least
three colleges and two pro coaches.
He hoped to have chats with as
many as possible in his search for
a replacement for Lynn Waldorf,
who suddenly took the head coach
ing assignment at the University of
California, before winding up his
three-day whirlwind expedition to-
morrow.
Last seen, Payseur was heading
for Columbia, Mo-, to offer a con-
tract to Don Faurot, BOSNIAN Of
the. Missouri Tigers. The pact prob
ably ranges between $4,000 and
$4,000 yearly.
From misunderstanding to Chet
Gargas, assistant Northwestern ath-
letic director-the trail is expected
to lead into Ohio, where Payseur
will corner Ray Noting, formerly
a dashing performer for the Chicago
Bears and now a successful mentor
at Cincinnati University. Then on
to Cleveland to speak to another
prominent prospect, Bob Voights,
line coach for Paul Browns Cleve-
land Browns, all-American Confer
ence pro champions.
Luke Johnsos, assistant coach of
the Chicago Bears, has withdrawn
his name from the list because he
is too pressed with business interests
with paper company. Chuck Pal
mer, a Northwestern graduate, who
has compiled a remarkable record
at Chicago's Fenger High School,
still is in the running.
Other candidates on Payseur's
first list are Henry Frnka of Tu-
lane and Earle Greasy" Neale, grid
director of the Philadelphia Eagles
of the National Football League.

nell also was his matchmaker for

with Goldie Ahearn, who had been
operating at the old Riding and
Hunt Club, and opened Turner's
Arena. That partnership lasted I'M

a highly unpopular decision, which
gave boxing black eye here, and
Turner withdrew from the game for

aAhearn rented the Arena for his
boxing promotions while Turner
continued with wrestling, as he has

Turner was a devout Catholic and
one of the most charitable men in

counted on to give a percentage of
his shows for any worthy cause, and
he was a soft touch for old fighters,
