Drake Player
Rejects Fix
Coach
BY the Associated Press

DES MONIES, Dec. 25.-Coach
Jack McClelland said today a
member of his Drake University
basketball squad was approached
to fix" the score of the Drake
Iowa State game last Tuesday.
McClelland, who also is Drake
athletic director, said that to
avoid causing the player further
embarrassment we are not re-
leasing his identification"
The Des Moines Register, how
ever, named the player as For
ward Ben Bumbry and quoted
him as saying the person who
approached him mentioned
$500 one time and $500 another
time" Bumbry said he told the
individual mo dice" and then re-
ported the incident to McClel-
land.
Wanted Eight-POint Spread.
Bumbry said, the Register re-
ported, the individual evidently
wanted Drake to lose by at least
8 points, preferably by 10 points.
Iowa State won the game in
Drake field house December %
by a score of $3.50. Bumbry was
the leading scorer for Drake with
II points. He is the teams top
scorer for the season with.an 18-
point average in seven games.
After receiving the report from
Bumbry, McClelland contacted
the FBI and the State Bureau Of
Criminal Investigation. He said
he was advised to take up the
matter with the Des Moines Po-
lice Detective Bureau.
Police Investigate.
The Register said Des Moines
police officer who investigated
the incident said he was COM
pletely convinced" the game was
an honest contest.
Police questioned Des Moines
man and said it is possible the
case may be referred to the Polk
County attorneys Office. The
man is not being held.
The Register quoted a police
officer as saying, Il doubt if we
have enough to prosecute him,
but the investigation definitely is
not closed" The officer said the
man admitted contracting "a cou-
pie of members of the Drake
team"
Bumbry, a senior student, is
from St. Louis.

DETROIT, Dec. 25.-Sneakers
probably will be in style at
Briggs Stadium Sunday when the
Lions tangle with the Cleveland
Browns for the National Foot
ball League championship.
With the weatherman fore
casting dip in the temperature,
the game may be played on a
frozen field. In that event, rub
ber-soled footwear would give
the players better footing than
cleats and make the action more
interesting for the fans.
It's an old idea since Steve
Ovens New York Giants put on
sneakers in the second half of
their playoff game with the Chi
cago Bears in 1884 and romped
to a 30-13 victory over their
skidding opponents. Coach Paul
Browns charges gum -shoed their
way to an 8-3 win over the
Giants in their 1850 playof for
the Eastern Division title, and
last year the Lions used them in
swamping Green Bay. 52-17.
Cardinals Used Sneakers.
In still another instance, the
Chicago Cardinals found sneak
erS invaluable in nosing out the
Philadelphia Eagles, % to 81,
for league honors in 1947.
Kickers, of course, will wear
regulation shoes. It wouldn't
make too much difference in
punting, but the lace-kicking
might suffer and the Lions, at
least, can't afford to concede
their opponents an edge in this
department. With the Browns
Lou Groza able to kick field
goals from almost anywhere in
side the 50-yard line, and Hor-
ace Gillom able to punt ~any-
where from so to 10 yards, kick
ing is expected to be an i'm
portant factor in deciding the
championship.

Injury to Phil Branch
Bad News to West Team

Christmas for four dozen of
Americas top football players
preparing for the January 2

practice as usual today under
a warm California sun-followed
by parties and exchange of
presents.
For the West camp at Stan
ford University, it was a some
what dismal holiday because of
a team physicians announce
ment that Phil Branch, Uni
versity of Texas guard. may miss
the game.
Branch, an all-Southwest line
man who was counted on to
handle a large share of the
Vests linebacking duties, is
suffering from a muscle tear in
his left leg.
The Texans actual playing
status will probably not be
known for several days. DR.. E.
F.. Roth yesterday ordered
Branch to stay off the injured
leg for two or three days and
then give it a trial.
1t was the second injury to
hit the West camp in the last
few days. Sam Morley, Stanford
end. came down with an ailing
knee cartilage and it was feared
he would be lost for the big
game. But DR.. Roth later said
Morley's leg will be "as good as
new"

MIAMI, Dec. 25.- Oklahoma
was scheduled to get a 15-hour
head start on Maryland in ac-
climating itself to Miami wealth.
er tonight. with the Sooners due
to arrive at $50 pm. for their
Orange Bowl date with the ma
tional champion Terps.
The arrival time was not too
popular with Miami and Orange
Bowl officials, because it will be
just about half time of the
North-South Shrine game being
played in the Orange Bowl to-
night.
That means this publicity con-
scious metropolis will lose a
chance to get more than one pic
ture of bowl events in Northern
and Eastern papers. If Okla
homa arrived in the morning or
afternoon, that might mean two
big stories and pictures the same
day. But with the Sooners ar
irving at night, bucking the ALL
Star game, that will reduce the
play. Miami takes such rela-
lively unimportant matters seri-
ously.
SOOners Won't Change Plans.
Coach Bud Wilkinson of Okla
homa would not change his
plans, however, and the Sooners
are scheduled to leave the uni
verSity airport at Norman, Okla
homa, at 4 o'clock this after
noon.
Maryland's scheduled takeoff
time from National Airport in
Washington is 9 am. tomorrow
which will make the time of its
arrival here about 1920. Okla
homa already will have con-
cluded one workout when the
Terps arrive.
Both the Oklahoma and
Maryland squads will receive
similar receptions. Barbara Nc
Cririck, the Orange Bowl queen,
and her four princesses will
meet the planes. along with w.
Bruce Macintosh, Orange Bowl
president, and officials. Some
body probably will remember to
bring along a few baskets of
oranges.
Oklahoma will practice at the
University of Miami field and
it's headquarters will be the
Emerald Isle Hotel on Miami
Beach. Maryland has selected
the Miami High School field,
and will stay at the Flamingo,
also on the beach.
Tatum Repeats Tale of Woe.
Coach Jim Tatum of the Terps
has been here for several days,
and he has repeated his tale of
woe that the Terps' pre-holiday
workouts were unproductive.
While the odds call for Mary
land hackers to give six or seven
points, Tatum said that if
Bernie Faloney's knee does not
respond to rest, Oklahoma should
be a two-touchdown favorite.
There repeatedly is a lull in
the wagering here until people
find out more about Faloney.
However, it is doubtful that any,
thing positive will be announced.
Nobody will know, including
Faloney, until he tests the knee
under competitive conditions.
The Sooners apparently are
operating under the theory that
Faloney will be ready because
Wilkinson is bringing with him
his fine quarterback of the 1852
season, Eddie Crowder. He will
play the role of Faloney in work.
