LAWRENCE. Kans.. Feb. S.
Phog Allen charged today that
widespread gambling again is
threatening basketball, less than
four years after the first expose
The 69-year-old Kansas Uni
versity coach-his real name is
DR.. Forrest C. Allen-dug up
some choice words in making the
charge.
"The dagger of gambling once
again is poised over the heart of
collegiate basketball" he said.
"The threat is pandemic (uni-
versally spread. The gamblers
are getting brave again and we
are in danger of slipping back
into the same sinking condi-
tion that prevailed before the
pre-expose days."
Supporting his charge, Allen,
now in his 38th season at Kan
sas, said he had received long
distance telephone calls before
one game in which the caller
sought information about the
physical condition of his team
and that "open gambling" pre-
vailed at the Big Seven tourna-

cember.

Phog, who called the turn on

discussing his charge of gam
