In February, the original disclosure involved fourteen players in four colleges around New York City—City Col- lege, Long Island University, New York »University and Manhattan College. Since that time, however, District At- torney Frank S. Hogan has continued his investigation into the worst college sports scandal in history and the ramifi- cations of the gamblers’ operations now involve two addi- tional colleges, In addition to the fourteen players of the four col- leges named, who have entered pleas of guilty to taking bribes, eight former players of Bradley University, of Peoria, Dlinois, one of the country’s top-flight teams, have hold down scores on two games. ly-eontrolled school in Ohio, has been involved with three players, two co-eaptains and one captain of the team ad- mitting being bribed to hold down the score of a game. The revelation of this scandalous conduct has given intercollegiate basketbal] something ofa black eye, al- though, one should note, most of the players and most of | payment of the money the teams have not been touched by the scandal, The guil- ty.players are not exclusively the younger type of college students; their ages run as high as twenty-seven years. Some are married men, with children, The deplorable discovery should not lead us to the quick conclusion that the younger generation is going to perdition faster than the pessimists have heretofore al- leged. Obviously, the men involved in fixing these games weére willing to get what they considered easy money without regard to principle or conscience but their con- duct does not offer sufficient proof for us to lose our faith and confidence in the vast: majority of -the young men now going to college throughout the nation.

If I can relieve her of an eco- jo} | man ambition threatens to be smoth- *|ered, can I make up to her for | dragging a hulk like me along?” Professor Hartley smiled. “I'll being smothered by economic bur- | dens, though I suppose her father rich, judged by your stand- he began.

It’s just part of her— | that kindness and gentleness to | those less fortunate than herself. | But I know she is deeply ambi- | tious. She has no money; it’s a long, uphill climb for a woman in her position. I could ease the way immeasurably. I'd gladly devote | my life and every penny I have to- | ward helping her to achieve her ambition. But have I the right to burden her with a-husband who is as helpless as a child?” “Not if you regard yourself as helpless, Peter,” said the older man. Peter flushed. “I know that, of course. I feel—well, I get along swell until I’m with Marcia. And then, there are so many things— | a million little things—I want to | do for her. Things that any man | with two good eyes could do, but | that are beyond me. Besides, Pro- | fessor, I want to see her!” | The little ery came straight from jhis heart, and the older man | winced a little. | Peter was flushed with shame at his outburst. “Sorry.
