AS A RESULT of this continuing horror story the city itself has suffered in moral prestige. And the curious fact that the disclosures of corruption have been restricted almost wholly to New York—and the Garden—has added to the common belief that New York is a cesspool of iniquity.
Against this libel, as symbol{zed by basketball, the city hasf
no defense. But there is always the court of public opinion. It is before this court that college basketball in New York stands today. The three educators who have reaffirmed thir loyalty to the Garden box office, pledging the re-| turn of New York University, Manhattan and St. John's, are on trial. They have filed a brief of
noble intentions.
Unfortunately it consists mainly of cozy rhetoric, and structural designs for committees, which may or may not be composed of able, knowing realists. | * = a | IF THIS action was meant to appease public indignation the impact was severely impaired the next day when D.A.

ment to the public that they are to take the conduct of the game out of the hands of their athletic directors and supervise it themselves? This would be a gainful step toward reassurance, for the background of the athletic directors does not inspire confidence. They seem to be subject to dictation by the Garden—specifically by Ned Irish, the promoter — and there must be a change in attitude if they are to put moral values first. 2 2 »
