Accused Seattle Players Bound To Grand Jury SEATTLE — Two former Seattle University basketball players, charged with conspiring to shave points in a basketball game, waived preliminary hearings yesterday and were bound over to the grand jury. Charlie Williams, team captain, and Peller Phillips, a guard, were arrested by Federal Bureau of Investigation agents Feb. 17 and were charged with conspiring to shave points in the S. U.-Uni-versity of Idaho game Jan. 22. Attorneys for the players announced the decision to waive as the hearings began before a standing room only audience in the small court of U. S. Commissioner Walter J. Reseburg Jr. Robert C. Williams, assistant U. S. attorney, was about to present government evidence when attorneys Jack Tanner and Richard Kane announced their decision. Kane said the decision to waive was based on a desire “to get this thing going. We want to get a final determination as soon as possible.’’

“Give it here, fella. We got a game to win.” So says Cloverdale’s John Price (35) to Jim Chadd in the first game of the sectional semi-finals. Price was right, they did have a game to win. They upset favored Greencastle 74-62 before a jam-packed crowd.

Jack Molinas' Appeal For Hearing Denied WASHINGTON UPI —Former basketball star Jack Molinas’ appeal for a hearing on basketball fixing bribery charges has been denied by the Supreme Court. The brief order leaves standing decisions against Molinas in New York state courts which may cause him to spend 10 to 15 years in jail. Molinas also was convicted in New York courts on charges of conspiracy and an attempt to get another person to lie under oath. Molinas was charged with being the operator of a conspiracy between 1957 and 1961 which controlled the outcome of numerous college basketball games in various sections of the country.

st. Uwis and Bradley Notre Dame And Vanderbilt

Likely Candidates A A rr. • ii , -

Are Officially In Tournament

By United Pren International

NEW YORK UPI —A pair of Missouri Valley Conference basketball teams, St. Louis and Bradley, today appeared to be the most likely candidates for the two remaining berths in the National Invitational Tournament. Wichita eliminated Bradley ’from the conference championship race Monday night with a victory over Tulsa, but the Braves still have a respectable 16-8 record with two games remaining. Bradley also is the defending NIT champion. St. Louis still is in the running for the title and a possible NCAA berth, however. The Billikens are 17-7 overall and 8-4 in conference play. If St. Louis should take the MVC title, then Wichita would be in line for an NIT bid. Flordia State’s loss to Miami Fla. Monday night eliminated the Seminoles from possible consideration, and St. Vonaventure with a 15-6 mark was apparently the only team left in the running with Bradley and St. Louis. The selection of Fordham, Manhatten, New York University and LaSalle was announced Monday. St. John’s, Army, Boston College, New Mexico, Texas Western, Western Kentucky, Detroit and Villanova all accepted bids earlier.

Vanderbilt and Notre Dame are officially in the NCAA basketball tournament and Wichita and Oklahoma State are knocking on the door with credentials almost certain to be honored. Vanderbilt won an automatic bid to the big carnival when it clinched its first Southeastern Conference crown with a 79-64 victory over Auburn Monday night while Notre Dame accepted an at-large berth after downing Creighton 92-74. Vanderbilt needed the help of Florida's 58-56 triumph over Tennessee to gam its berthclinching title whereas Notre Dame required the aid mostly of a platoon of peacemakers as Creighton fought so frantically to ovei’take the Irish lead that three players fouled out and another was ejected for socking Notre Dame's Jay Miller. Wichita and Oklahoma State, meanwhile, clinched ties for the Missouri Valley and Big Eight Conference crowns, respectively, the Shockers by defeating Tulsa 59-48 and the Cowboys by downing Kansas State 69-60. Notre Dame, Wichita and Oklahoma State won their games at home but Vanderbilt scored its big victory at Auburn, Ala.

Sandy Koafax Arm Is "Perfectly Sound" VERO BEACH, Fla. UPI — Sandy Koufax reported his arm was "perfectly” sound again Tuesday and judging the reaction in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ camp, someone might think they had just clinched the National League pennant. Owner Walter O’Malley walked around beaming, clapping people on the back. General Manager Buzzie Bavasi began telling jokes and even the usually quiet and solem Walt Alston grew expansive. Koufax, completly unaware the excitment he caused, bummed a cigarette from Maury Willis sitting alongside him in a rather narrow dressing quarters the Dodgers use here and only laughed when his teammate took him to task. “I dunno, Koufax, I had a whoie pack wnen I came in here this morning and now look at what I have left,” Willis frowned. “I know I didn’t smoke that many and I know Claude Osteen didn’t, so I wonder who did?” Sandy exhaled and laughed at the same time.

Morgan Everson, averaging 28.3 points in his past four games, could jump into the Tiger record books this week. Everson needs 34 points to enter the all-time ten top scorers for the Old Gold. He has 650 in almost two seasons and is riding in 13th place behind Ron McCammack (651), Bing Davis (678) and Earl “Red” Gardner (683). He also could pass Tommy Johnson, who stands ninth now with 695. Everson’s opposite, forward

Stan Bahler, might leap over H o o s i e r Congressman Lee Hamilton in the final week of firing. Bahler, with 552, needs only five to tie eighteen place and Trester Award winner, and has another season to join the top ten with Everson. Coach Elmer McCall will stick with Dick Putt at center and guards Dan Schermer and Jack Hogan. The Tigers are 8-12 for the season after pasting St. Joseph’s here Friday night, 83-73. ; Wabash, 3-11, last won over the Milwaukee Branch of the University of Wisconsin. Its Feb. 26 game with Albion was cancelled. The DePauw-Wabash freshmen will collide at 5:45 in a event. Wabash won the first meeting. 81-79, on a last second 30-footer. DePauw's freshmen are 2-4 for the season; Wabash is 9-2, losing only to Ball State and St. Joseph's. DePauw has won two of its last three, bumping Valparaiso and Butler while falling at Indiana State.
