When the l962-63 Interhigh
basketball season opens in jan
uary two familiar faces will
be missing from the coaching
ranks, Bobby Hart and Herman
Hank Littman.
Both have decided to step
aside and "let the younger men
run things" Hart, 46, has put
in Is years of service as a
basketball coach, most of it at
Eastern High. For the last
three seasons he has been
coaching baseball and basket
ball at Ballou. He will retain
the baseball job.
Basketball is a demanding
game and makes it hard fer a
coach to control himself on
the BENCH" says Hart. "And it
was getting harder and harder
for me to sit and watch each
year. Baseball is really my
sport" He's won four Inter-
high baseball championships.
one at Coolidge and three at
Eastern.
A graduate of Wilson Teach
ers College, where he was an
all-around athlete, Hart started
coaching at Coolidge in 1916
after serving as a pilot in World
War II. The following year he
transferred to Eastern and re-
manned there as coach through
1851. He gave up basketball
for two years, first turning the
Rambler Cagers over to Frank
Kley. and then Littman. Hart
again took over IN 1858. When
the new Ballou High School
opened in 1859 he transferred
there as baseball and basket
ball coach.
Littman, SIS, is getting out of
coaching altogether. 1--WE had
a great deal of fun and glory
and enjoyed every minute Of
it," he says. THE younger men
can handle things better"
A graduate of New York Uni
versity, Littman taught at NYU
for four years before joining
the D. c. public school system
in 1885 as the baseball and
basketball coach at Roosevelt.
Twice his coaching career was
interrupted by calls to military
service, from 1871 through as
and again in 1919, when he was
recalled and named the Athletic
Officer of the Military District
of Washington.

DRAFT TWO DAYS AWAY
Woes PiIing Up for ALL

NEW YORK, Nov. 90 (AP)'.-
With the annual draft meeting
scheduled in two days, troubles,
problems and headaches con-
tinu6d to plague Joe Foss,
American Football League COM
missioner, today as he made
desperate, last-ditch efforts to
get his Keeling house in order.
It's important for Foss to
create a good image of the
future of the league by the time
the draft meetings begin in
Dallas Saturday because the
collegians will weigh the merits
of both the AFL and National
Football Leagues before they
Jump into the pro fold. Many
of them will be drafted by both
leagues-the NIL draft is
scheduled for next Monday in
Chicago-and then the annual
price battle will start.
Right now, FoSS is trying to
solve the following problems:

chiseS. New Orleans had hoped
to get the Oakland or Dallas
franchises and Kansas City
still hopes to nab the Oakland
operation.
But Foss' overriding woe is
the Titans. For the last five
weeks the league has been foot
ing the Titans' bills while all
sorts of rumors on the sale of
the club made the rounds. The
deadline for the sale set by
FoSs passed two weeks ago.
I'VE had a long session of
negotiations yesterday" said
Foss, who is staying here while
trying to get the Titans out OF
his hair. But I can't say there
will be a sale soon. You never
can in matters like this"
Strangely enough, all the ad-
administrative problems haven't
hurt the Titans' play. They've
won three of their last four
games and now have a So
record.

to Roosevelt again in 1854 and
remained there through 1856.
He has coached at Wilson until

New Yorker
Tells of Role
In Cage Fix

RALEIGH, N. c., Nov. 90
(AP) New Yorker told to-
day how he helped to arrange
a fix" for the North Carolina
State-M aryland basketball
game played here February Is,
1860.
Paul Franklin Walker, jr., 81,
of The Bronx, testified at the
trial of two st. Louis men,
David Goldberg and Steve
LekemetroS. who are accused of
backing fixers Joseph Green
and Aaron Wagman in bribing
N. C. State players to shave
points in several games.
Walker said Wagman called
him early in February. 1860,
and asked him if he knew any,
one who would be interested in
supplying money for informa-
ton on basketball games.
Walker said he called Frank
Cardone in Pittsburgh to see if
he was interested. He said
Cardone wasn't, but referred
Walker to Morris (Moe) Hey
ison of New York. Heyison,
he said. was interested but said
he could raise only $4,000 of
about $4,000 that Wagman
wanted. Walker testified that
Heyison actually raised $2.70O
or $4,000 and that he gave part
of it to Wagman and brought
$4,000 to Raleigh to give to
Green.
When he arrived, he said,
Green told him that N. c.
States Don Gallagher and Stan
Niewierowski were supposed to
be fixed" Niewierowski testified
yesterday that he and Gal
lagher were paid to shave
points in the game, Gallagher
getting $1,000 and Niewierow-
ski ST, $50. according to the in
dictmentS in the case.
Walker testified that under
the point spread" N. c. State
was supposed to win by less
than four points and actually
won the game by two points.
so, the gamblers won on their
investment.
Walker pleaded guilty sew
eral months ago on seven
counts growing out of the al
legged point fixing.
N. c. States coach, Everett
Case, also testified yesterday.
He said he did not suspect some
of his players were shaving
points until they played poorly
against Georgia Tech on De-
cember II, 1860.
