Lamont
Released
On Bail
NEW YORK, Dec. 6----(/1 3 )—The
litate today blasted Daniel La
mont, accused as a "money man"
in the basketball fixing scandal,
as an insult to the profession of
bookmaking.
Lamont, wealthy Altoona, Pa.,
shoe manufacturer; was released
on $25,000 bail for a hearing Dec.
20 on bribe charges. He was ar
rested yesterday in Altoona.
,Assistant District Attorney Vin
cent A. G. O'Connor told a magis
trate Lamont is connected with
gambling elements in Altoona and,
Pittsburgh and has been a lead
ing Altoona bookie for years.
"It is an insult even to book- I
makers to call this man. a garnb
ler—the bookmakers who, al
though they break the law, deal
fairly with their customers. Thesel
fixers are nothing bu t thieves
who hide their filthy deals be
hind their wagers."
Lamont is accused of putting
up a $2,000 bribe for Harvey
(Connie) Schaff, for me r New
York University basketball star
now serving six months in prison.
MacArthur Fears
Federal Controls
Will Ruin Football
Sigma
of the
frame.
NEW YORK, Dec. 6—(AP)—
Gen. Douglas MacArthur tonight
expressed concern lest Ameri
can football "fall within the
eager clutches of rapidly expand
ing federal controls."
Praising the game as a builder
of battlefield leaders, MacArthur
said government regulation
would "destroy the very essence"
of sportsmanship on the playing
field.
He said in a speech • prepared
for the touchdown club of New
York that "an overbalancing em
phasis may in recent years have
been given to the revenue pro
ducing phase of modern college
football."
( This may have caused some
"occasional compromise of the
high standards of academic pro
ficiency in the attendant com
petition to secure and hold the
best available players," he said.
But he added that " no scan
dal of corruption, no hint of mal
feasance of play, has compro
mised the integrity of the game
itself."
"I have faith that any current
excesses in the competition to se
cure .players will be corrected
within the sport itself," he said.
- Penn. State's frosh sensation,
Lamont Smith, of Lehighton,
never engaged in cross-country
until he entered college. A for
mer mile champion, he finally
finished fourth in the IC-4A field,
was well up in the NCAA field
until he collapsed from fatigue.

State Lagers Work
To Improve Offense
Coach Elmer GroSs and assistant John.Egli have the Lion bas
ketball team back at work in an attempt to bolster the offense for
the Bucknell game Wednesday in Rec Hall.
Gross figures the Bucknell contest to be a good, close game.
Coach Jack Guy's team opened the season with a 65-50 triumph over
Juniata Wednesday night. The Bisons have their entire first string
back froM last year. Forwaid
Joe Gallagher averaged about 18
points a game last season, and
another forward, Don Strassner,
scored about 15 per game.
Last season State won two
games from Bucknell. The Lions
used a "freeze" in the first game
at 'Lewisburg and successfuly
halted the Bisons' fast offense to
win 25-15. This was the contest
which caused much 'turmoil
among Bucknell fans.
Lions Win Again _ _
Minor Leagues
Set Up 'Open'
Classification
COLUMBUS, o.' ' Dec. 6—(iP)—
The Pacific Coast drove home an
opening wedge in its long battle
to become a third major league
today when. the minor leagues
set up a new "open" classification
by unanimous vote.
If, the major leagues also ap
prove the action of the \ National
Association of Minor Leagues, the
Pacific Coast League will formal
ly apply for "open" rank with
partial relief from the draft in
1952.
'Wise Thing'
'We meet all the requirements,"
said Leslie O'Connor, coast lea
gue advisor. "There seems to be
no question about this being
passed by the majors. It's the
opening wedge to becoming a
major in from five to ten years."
Unable to agree on a new high
school rule governing signing of
schoolboys the minors deferred
action until 9:30 a.m. (EST) to
morrow on a compromise of three
proposals.
Vote on Options
Commissioner Ford Frick made
an unusual appearance before the
golden jubilee convention to urge
the minors to adopt some version
of high school rule. He said the
minors must not offend the gen
eral public by letting the current
rule expire Dec. 31 without adopt
ing a new one.
In a day jammed with action
after a week-long lull, the minors
also voted to rule out the 24-hour
recall of optioned players by ma
jor league clubs.
Yu ha's Condition
Still Critical
NEW YORK, Dec. 6 —(P)—
Scholastic football star, Johnny
Yuha of Indiana, Pa., was still
in critical condition today at New
York University-Bellevue Medical
Center. No date has been set for
an operation.
The 17-year-old senior fro m
Elders Ridge High School, near
Indiana, was taken to the New
York hospital this week for treat
ment of a broken neck and frac
ture of two vertebrae suffered in
a game Nov. 3.
rßtriAlr, - Dtennitti, lot
Several weeks later the Bisons
came to Rec Hall eager for re
venge but were walloped in a
comparatively free-scoring, 67-53
battle.
The Lion mentor was highly
pleased with the defensive play
of his cagers in theirsl-21 victory
over Ithaca, but believes the
dribblers will have to improve
their offense to 'beat the Bisons.
Throughout the early stages of
the Bomber game the Lions
couldn't work the ball effective
ly. Even when they , did begin to
pass well they still 'missed a lot
of scoring opportunities.
Ithaca was prepared for the
Nittanies' fast-break which had
worked so effectively in practice
titlts, Gross said. When the Lions
did fast break they missed many
of their setups.
Balanced Attack
State's scoring was balanced,
something which Gross expects
all season. Of the starting five
,Co-Captain Hardy Williams led
the team with 11 points; Joe
Piorkowski garnered 10; Herm
Sledzik had eight; Co-Captain
Jay McMahan, seven; and Whitey
Makarewicz, two. Freshman
Jesse Arnelle topped the reserves
with six points.
Gross was also pleased with
the play of his substitutes. % Be
sides Arnelle, Jack Sherry, a
member of Joe Tocci's freshman
team last season, showed some
offensive power, and two big
frosh, Jim Blocker and Jim Hill
controlled the boards. Another
freshman Ronny Weidenhammer
handled the ball well.
If Christopher Columbus had
deposited one dollar in the, bank
when he first landed in America,
and it was left there at 6% in
terest compounded semi-annually,
he would now have more money
than exists in the world today.
