              —The Fresno State College Collegion-
C^aitoriai Comments}
Ail the Bradleys, City. Colleges, and Kentucky* in thel
United Sutes (and the indication is there are many colleges
which barely escaped last spring'»' extensive bribery
del) have put a black mark on the once clean reputatii
Schools, that for years had been admired*and looked'up!
' r their prowess in the college basketball family, '
young athletes lives, were bared.      ' ■   .       '
The reason can be only that college sports are taking on a
big business attitude. This factor had been evident for the
past decade and since the war with the veterans forming the
background for the best of athletic teams, the money-began
to circulate under the table.
When the entire squad of the Gty College of New York's
crackerjack basketball team confessed to throwing games,!
the scare was on and succeeding in vest igat i ons turned up the!
Bradley quintet's point-shaving experiences. The Bradley |
crew represented a small school and had compiled a fine
* ' ' ig the past two seasons. Many of the games
ican star and his teammates decided t.
ie easy money were played at variou
_^^^ _     it the country. At one rime the Bradleyites
revealed they bad participated in a fix in a game with the
University of'San Francisco team in the bay'area during
January. Gamblers followed the team from its home at Peoria
III., to fix that contest.
. The entire incident left a bad taste in the mouth of most
sports <fana.
Fixes on the football field have not been reached but
some incidents that happend on the gridiron this fall showed
that college sports need a good "cleaning up."
The case of a Drake University halfback, leading ground
gainer in the country, who was severely injured in the game
with a strong Oklahoma AIM team has caused considerable
discussion. The populace in Stillwater, Okla.. home of the
Aggies, had heard rumors the star Drake halfback would
not finish the game. How true these boasts were when
pl.'yn with more brawn than brains smashed the opposition
star's jaw on play one. Why? Not only because of his playing
ability, but because he was a Negro.
As a result of this "accident" two schools, Drake University and Bradley, have dropped out of the strong Missouri I
Valley Conference." What did the conference due toward dis-l
ciplinary action against the Oklahoma team? Nothing. I
The  only  possible  solution  is de-emphasization  of  the
sports programs of the nation's colleges. More severe pent
ties to the real culprits, the low form of humans who lurk
the dark corners of the gyms offering money to an
who undoubtedly needs the financial help.
Why all this fuss about the ways of college sports? Tol
call for a uniform set of rules, get college athletics back '
clean clothes, and to enforce strict rules of eligibility.
Now that Congress and nationally known jurists are taki
an interest in the evils of big business — college style —
is rime we ourselves reviewed the facts.
