Judge Saul S. Streit was sched- Wled to deliver his charge to the jury of eight men and four wo- men soon after court convened. Spivey, 23, seven-foot center, is accused of perjury in the college Babketball scandal as a result of his testimony before a New York County (Manhattan) grand jury last February, He is charged with falsely deny- that he accepted bribes to rig s for the benefit of gamblers and that he ever discussed “fixes” before games, The trial, which goes into its ninth court day today, was high- lighted by the testimony last week of Walter Hirsch of Daafiu,?., and Jim ‘Line of Odessa, Tex., ‘both former teammates of Spivey. , Line and Hirsch both testified that Spivey agreed with them to rig the score of a Kentucky game during the 1950 Sugar Bowl activi- ties at New Orleans.

Both Brown and Asst. Dist. Atty. Vineent A. G. O'Connor ‘spoke of the testimony by Hirsch and Line admitted lying to the grand jury and that it was their word against Spivey’s. O'Connor conceded in- consistencies in the two players’ testimony, but said they showed “character and rehebilitation in coming here and telling the truth.” 1 club and the only major “unde- feated team. Seton Hall hasn’t had a real good testing since it took sole pos. session of the unbeaten ranks tw weeks ago by pasiing Fordham Villanova with its respectable 11-4} record will be no easy hurdle, espe- cially since the game marks on of Seton Hall’s infrequent trip: away from its South Orange, N.

Fourth-ranking Kansas State meets Iowa State in a Big Seven Conference game Saturday and Fordham, No. 10, engages St. John’s of Brooklyn Thursday and Yale on Saturday. The stowdown in action didn’t slow down the upset pace very much. Colorado didn’t ‘figure to have a chance against Kansas but Aggies in Chicago Friday,and N.C. State was a strong favorite over North Carolina Saturday. Tulsa, leading the Missouri Valley Con- ference and ranked No. 11, was upended by Houston Saturday, 61-56.

It also could mean plenty of new indoor records if you can take the performances so far as a yardstick. In the glamor distance, the mile, for example, Don Gehrmann and Fred Wilt will not rule the favorites for the first times in years when the Millrose games, traditional campaign, held night. Young Fred Dwyer, are Thursday who, won't already captured two mile runs and one 1,000-yard affair this sea- son and hasn’t been beaten.

Warren Druetzler and Ger- many’s Rolf Lamers. MeMillen, the Olympic 1,500- meter runner-up, looked bad in his indoor debut at Washington three weeks ago, but he high-tailed it back to California ‘and has been working out there. He, too, is a young man ‘who can go with the best of them, Then there is Ollie Sax in the middle distantes ard Charley Cap- ozzoli in the longer routes.

Last year the handsome 38-year- old Mangrum man went into the final round here with a comfor- table three-stroke lead over the field. He finished the 72 holes five strokes ahead and, at 274, 10 strokes under par. In the $20,000 Los Angeles Open last Jan. 5, Mangrum at 54 holes was five shots in front, and he finished five strokes in front. Today, Mangrum was four shots in. front of his nearest threat, rookie pro Bob Wininger from Ok- lahoma City, and seven ahead of the. next nearest and another rookie, Lionel Hebert of Pittsburgh. ,Mangrum staged a triumphant tour of the 6,578-yard, par 36-35-71 Phoenix Country Club course yes- terday and when he was through he had knocked eight strokes off par. His 32-31-63 tied the course rec- ord and with previous rounds of 71-68, gave him a 54-hole total of 202. Mangrum, already winner of the Los Angeles and Bing Crosby events this year, birdied the first hole and banged out. seven more on the trip around the course.
