3 Toledo U. Stars Admit Basketball Fix
Received $1750 From Gambler
By United Press
NEW YORK, July 25— Three Toledo University
stars have admitted receiving $1750 for fixing a basketball
game, but they. turned down offers to fix three others, District Attorney Frank 8S. Hogan announced todsy. The players, Cocaptains William J. Walker Jr. and Carlo Muzi of last year's team, and Robert McDonald, captain-elect of next year’s team, received the money for shaving the point spread in a game against Niagara on Dec, 14 at Toledc, Mr. Hogan said. Favored to win by seven points, Toledo won by only three, although to do so Toledo had to lose a 17-point lead with only three minutes to play.
Took Gambler's Money
Walker received the $1750 from Eli Klukofski, a New York gambler already involved in other fixes, Mr. Hogan said, and gave $250 each to Muzi and McDonald. The three players turned down attempted bribes to shave point spreads in Toledo's games against Michigan on Dec. 6, Illinois on Dec. 9 and Denver on Dec. 12, Mr. Hogan said. “The players Klukofski,” Mr. Hogan said,
