Spivey, a sevenfpot giant, was charged with lying to a grand jury investigating the basketball “fixing” scandal when he denied that he ever “fixed” games while a player at the University of Kentucky or even discussed “filing” prior to any games. The 23-year-old sports star look the stand in his own defense andagain denied he took part in or had any knowledge of “fixing.” The prosecution, on the other hand, presented two of Spivey’s former teammates as witnesses — Walter ’.Hirsch and Jim Line. Bpt|i) testified that Spivey had taken part in “fixing” the Kentucky-St. Louis games played during the Sugar Bowl tournament in December, 1950. ' J In charging the jury Monday morning.

It was learned that the final vote taken by the jury was 9 to 3 in favor of acquittal, and one juror said that this score was “almost identical” with the first* vote taken many hours earlier. . nSpivey’s attorney, John Young Brown, said his next move would be \to ask formally for dismissal of the indictment. If that should fall, he would then ask for an immediate re trial. | | Pope Pius Reported As Greatly Improved VATICAN CITY t’P — Pope' Pius XII, wno suffered an attack of influenza and bronchitis last Thursday, was much better today and his fever had disappeared completely, the Vatican announced.
