Ex-Kentueky Captain
Arrives in New York
To Face Fix Probers
by the Assoeiated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 2O.-The
simmering college basketball scam
dal. which has involved some of
the top schools and more than 30
players in the country, famed
anew today with the arrival here
of Walter Hirsch, captain Of the
1901 University of Kentucky
team. as a material witness.
Hirsch's decision to appear In
New York was an about-face on
his previous stand, according to
District Attorney Frank Hogan.
who first broke the scandal last
year. Hogan said Hirsch had re-
fused repeatedly to cooperate
with the investigation while he
was a student at Kentucky.
Hirsch was not permitted to en-
roll in school this semester and
has been working in his home
town, Dayton, Ohio.
Indeed" said Hogan, ''his re-
fusal to come to New York and
cooperate as a witness was the
basis on which the University of
Kentucky did not permit him to
re-enrolly for the semester begin
ming this month"
Hogan charged in an affidavit
signed by his assistant, Vincent
A. @. O'Connor, that Hirsch and
two other players, Dale Barnstable
and James Line, accepted bribes
to shave points in games played
in Kentucky and Arkansas in 1949
and 1850.
Barnstable already is under in
dictment, along with former ALL
Americas Alex Groza and Ralph
Beard, on charges Of accepting
money to fix one game here.
Line is working for an oil COM
pany in Kansas and said he had
no comment Immediately, but
that he might have a statement

Cards Use Defense
Taught by AU Coach
In Game With Eagles

Catholic University meets Amer
lean University tonight at Cath
olic U. and If the Cards win, the
credit should go to the AU coach.
At least that's the way Abe
Rosenfield, coach of Catholic Uni
versity puts it. II asked Staff
Cassell (American U. COACH to
help me put in the zone defense
and he spent considerable time
with my squad" Rosenfield said.
IT told him I'm going to use his
own zone against him."
: Seeks 18th Straight.
Cassell said that was all right
with him, but at the same time
the AU mentor doesn't like the
complexion of the game, which
starts at $3.50 pm. He not only
will be meeting up with a zone
defense, but his team will be try
ing for its 18th straight Mason
Dixon Conference triumph, and in
addition there will be an expert
|n1ent with three officials calling
the game instead Of two.
The early season meeting be-
tween the cross-town rivals can
be thrown out because Joe Della
Rata. the Cards scoring star, was
out with the grippe. and Rosenfield
was without another Of his regu-
lars. American u. won that one
lhandily.
Almost the entire Gu squad
secuted American US triumph

over the conference leaders would

"A dispatch from the Neue .Zu-

''rowdieS" and recommended that

In commentary on yesterdays
Olympic games won by the United
States and Canadian teams, the

"the violations against the funda-
mentals Of sportsmanship which
the Americans accomplished be-
long among the unworthiest we
have ever seen in sports arena"

I'VE have neither the words nor

missible," the Neue Zuricher Zei-

"It is now time to ask whether
this pollution Of European ice
hockey through overseas teams
should not be halted. One can
be certain that neither the Cana

let themselves be criticized. How
ever. what seems good enough for

Dresser, Still Smartingj
From 81 Flop, Toys
With ShuffIed Lineup
By The Associated Press

VERO BEACH, Fla, Feb. 90
Manager Chuck Dresser toyed
with a new Brooklyn batting or
der today as the first Dodger
squad reported for spring train
ing.
Still embarrassed by winter
long explanations of how the
Brooks blew a 131z-game lead to
the New York Giants, Dresser is
determined to have a winner.
"I'd like to have Peewee Reese
lead or" he said. "And Billy
Cox hit second. II they can
come up with the same kind Of
year as in 81 that ought to do
the trick.
Duke Snider would hit third,
as usual, and Jackie Robinson
fourth. with Roy Campanella fifth.
Then Andy Pafko, Gil Hodges
and probably Carl Furillo.
Good Leadoff Man.
'Peewee ought to be a good
leadof man. He can bunt and
Cox can hit behind the runner" 4"
What would Dresser do diff
ferently if he had last season to
play all over again?
It can only think of one
change" he said. 1.-THE last time
we played Philadelphia in Brook
lyn, I pitched Clem Labine in the
first game and they knocked him
out. Next day it was Don New
combe's turn and then Preacher
Roe's.
II had Labine working in the
bullpen in Roe's game. So when
we went to Boston I couldn't
pitch him. I didn't get to use him
again until the plavoffs. Maybe
that was a mistake"
Dresser said Labine figures in
his plans as a definite starter this
year, taking Newcombe's place.
IF he goes like he went last
year. he ought to win 2o," said
Dresser.
Chuck Is high on his new pitch
ing crop. He hopes to scome up
with starter among Joe Black,
Ben Wade, Nal Mallette. Bob
Alexander and John Rutherford.
Counting ON Schmitz.
"Billy Herman tells me Black
likes to work." he said. Maybe
7 can use him on relief with Clyde
King and start him, too. I'm
counting on Johnny Schmitz. too.
"We have another kid named
John Podre who had q sensational
year at Hazard, KY. in Class D.
Then we'll have Chris Van Cuyk
back for another look. Jake Pitler,
my first base coach, thinks young
Billy Loes has a good chance"
Dresser thinks the Giants and
Brooklyn are the "solid" clubs II,
the league with the Phillies also
rating "A" If Curt Simmons comes
back in his 1850 form.
They tell me Boston will have
the best young pitchers" he said
|"But Wen have to wait and see
Eddie Stanky's club (the st. Louis
Cardinals) had a flock of good kid
pitchers last year but they've lost
most Of them to the Army. y
ITS hard to see anybody beat
ing out our regular eight men
Hodges, Robinson, Reese, Cox,
Pafko. Snider, Furillo and Cam
PAMELA.
Replacing Newcombe Is our big
job. We know it. But we have
some good kids who may do the
trick"
