State High School Tourney
EntersQuarter-Final Round

GEORGIA-ALABAMA GAME:

Football Rigging Inquiry Starts

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first
of two articles, analyzing the state
high school basketball tournaments
in the tr-state area. Today's ar-
ticle deals with the Michigan tour-
ney. Tomorrow's article will report
on the tournaments in Illinois and
Indiana.)
BY BILL BULLARD
In an unusual situation for high
school basketball, four teams that
have not been beaten throughout
the season are still in contention
for the Michigan Class A cham-
pionship.1
The quarter-finals, to be play-
ed Wednesday night at various
centers around the state, match
the four unbeaten teams in two
games while two other games to
determine the semi-finalists will
be played also. Grosse Pointe (21-
0) meets Ferndale (19-0) in one of
the quarter-final games of the un-
beatens and Saginaw Arthur Hill
(19-0) takes on Grand Rapids
South (20-0) in the other.
Detroit Northwestern (15-2)
plays Pontiac Northern (17-3) and
Jackson (13-7) challenges Adrian.
(16-4) in the other quarter-final
games.
Winners Advance
The winners of the four quarter-
final games advance to Lansing
Friday night for the two semi-final
games. If form holds true, which
it often does not in unpredictable
high school basketball, Grosse
Pointe and Arthur Hill should be
battling it out for the champion-
ship on Saturday.
Grosse Pointe has the most ex-
plosive team in the state but Ar-
thur Hill can counter this with
the most consistent team in the
state and a rebounding advan-
tage. The Hillites rebounding pow-
er is due to the efforts of 6'10"
All-State center Craig Dill.

The Blue Devils have an All-
Stater also in 5'10" guard Gary
Spade. It is Spade who leads the
fast-breaking Grosse Pointe of-
fense and the pressing man-to-
man defense.
Of the four unbeaten teams,
Grosse Pointe, Ferndale, and
Grand Rapids South have never
won a state championship. Arthur
Hill won a state championship in
1943, the year after crosstown rival
Saginaw High won its first state
title. The Hillites are hoping for
history to repeat itself as Sagi-
naw won its second title last sea-
son.
Already three of, the teams
ranked in the top seven in the
state have been upset. Benton Har-
bor, a finalist last season and
unbeaten during the regular sea-
son, lost in the District Tourna-
ment a week ago by two points to
Holland. The Benton Harbor five,
ranked first throughout the sea-
son, had defeated Holland by 25
points several weeks earlier.
East Lansing Upset
East Lansing also was unbeaten
until the District Tourney when
the Trojans were defeated by
Lansing Sexton. Detroit Public
School League Champion South-
western with sharp-shooting All-
Stater Cliff Williamas fell to
Northwestern in the Regional fin-
als last Saturday night.
CLASS A
Grosse Pointe (21-0) vs. Ferndale-
(19-0).
Jackson (13-7) vs. Adrian (16-4).
Detroit Northwestern (15-2) vs. Pon-
tiac Northern (17-3).
Grand Rapids South (20-0) vs. Sagi-
naw Arthur Hill (19-0).

East Grand Rapids (16-4) vs. Unity
Christian (22-1).

son (20-3).

ATLANTA (MP-Atty. Gen. Eu-
gene Cook started his probe yes-
terday of' charges that the Ala-
bama-Georgia football game last
fall was rigged and said may in-
terview members of the Alabama
team.
Cook says he has not decided
whether to interview Georgia
players. But he said former Geor-
gia Athletic Director Wally Butts
and Alabama Coach Paul Bryant,
who were named by the Saturday
Evening Post in a story titled
"The Foobtall Fix" will be ques-
tioned.
Clay Offered
Italian Fight
For $80,000'
ROME, Italy W - Undefeated
Cassius, Clay of Louisville was of-
fered $80,000 yesterday to come to
Rome and meet Italy's all-con-
quering Franco DePiccoli' in a
battle 'of Olympic champions.
"Let Clay come to Italy," said
the 26-year-old DePiccoli. k'Frank-
ly, I don't think he'll last three
rounds."
The husky Italian won the
Olympic heavyweight crown while
Clay took the light heavyweight
title in the 1960 games in Rome.
Since the Olympics Clay has
won all 18 of his pro fights and
is the No. 2 ranking heavyweight
contender. DePiccoli, a left-hand-
er, is undefeated in 21 fights. He
is ranked 10th.
At Louisville, Clay responded to
requested comment in almost un-
broken rhyme. He said he would.
accept the challenge and, "This
will be my first one-round pre-
diction.
"I haven't heard about that of-
fer, but if it's really 80 grand I'll
be there--and that bum will fall
in the round I call.
"The last time I was in Italy I
shook the place up and I'm twice
as good now. I will knock him
out in the right time, and end it
up with a classy rhyme."

Others to be interviewed in-
clude Coach Johnny Griffith of
Georgia, Dr. O. C Aderhold, pres-
ident of the University of Georgia,
and the writer of the Post article,
Frank Graham Jr.
The attorney general said he
will either ask Bryant to come to
Atlanta for questioning o1 go to
Alabama at the Alabama coach's
convenience.
Phone Talk
The state investigation was or-
dered by Gov. Carl Sanders after
the Post charged that Butts gave
Bryant detailed information in a
telephone conversation a b o u t
Georgia plays, players and defense
eight days before the game. Ala-
bama won, 35-0.
George Burnett, the Atlanta in-
surance salesman who claimed in
the article that he overheard the
telephone conversation, said Mon-
day that "an impulsive desire that
the truth be known," led him to
provide the information to the
mag'azine.
In a statement, Burnett said,
"I was not motivated by anything
but an impulsive desire that the
truth be known.
Recall Facts
"I recalled the facts to my
friend Bob Edwards. He in turn
acted as a friend of the Georgia
coach in taking it to the coach,
Johnny Griffith."
Burnett said he gave a full
statement to the Georgia Athletic
Board and had turned over tothe
board his notes on the telephone
conversation.

T h e University of Alabama
trustees unanimously b a c k e d
Coach Pauj Bryant yesterday.
The board said it "does hereby
publicly express its confidence in
and support of Coach Bryant. ."
The resolution said the board
"regrets the public statements
which have been made whicn re-
flect on the character and integ-
rity" of Bryant.
Star Comments
Meanwhile, a star on last sea-
son's Alabama football team, said
yesterday that Coach Bryant does
not teach intentional brutality.
Lee Roy Jordan, the Tide's All-
America center and linebacker,
said, "The man who costs us a
personal foul penalty is benched
and doesn't play any more that
day."
The brutality question first
arose when an article appeared in

the Post in October which said
B r y a n t encouraged brutality
among his players.
File Suit
Bryant has filed suit against
the Post and Furman Bisher,
sports editor of the Atlanta Jour-
nal, the author, for $500,000 in
connection with an earlier Post
story.
Bryant told a statewide televi-
sion audience Sunday in referring
to the current controversy that,
"This article is another malicious
attempt to destroy me ane my
reputation for honesty and integ-
rity in order to affect the preent-
ation of my case in the pending
suit."
Jordan Speaks
Jordan, who said he could /speak
for the whole team, defended Bry-
ant against the current charges
and the allegation of brutality.
"Sure," he said, "the coach
drives us hard. He tells us to play
hard, to play to win. But he tells
us to do it right and do it
cleanly."

WINKS THINK
By Jan Winkelman
Varsity Soccer at Michigan
The most popular sport in the world is soccer. Over 700,000,000
people live in countries where it is the national pastime. The largest
athletic stadium in the world is at Rio de Janeiro: a soccer stadium.
The highest paid athletes in the world are soccer players. In Eng-
land, where betting is legal, several, players earn $150,000 a year on
outright salaries and up to $500,000 a year when their bets are
totalled.
Even in the United States soccer is played more than hockey,
which is so popular at Michigan. Soccer is also more widespread
nationally than gymnastics, which has taken on increasing na-
tional significance.
It is ironic that although there are 228 college and university
soccer teams recognized by the NCAA, there is no soccer team spon-
sored by the American university with the largest number of foreign
students: Michigan. The University obtains a majority of its foreign
students from the British Commonwealth countries and from the
countries of Latin America. In all of these countries soccer is the
national sport. The University maintains gymnastics. and hockey
teams, less popular nationally than soccer, but does not have a
soccer squad.
Back Varsity Soccer . .
A few years ago an abortive movement to institute soccer here
as a varsity sport failed. Most movements fail here. The problem
has again been brought up. This time the backers of a varsity soccer
team are organized, and are determined to make a successful bid for
the sport.
 Of the 228 nationally recognized college teams, 152 are organized
in sanctioned leagues. The Ivy League, Mid,-Atlantic Conference, At-
lantic Coast Conference, and Southern California Conference all
sponsor soccer leagues.
At East Lansing Michigan State University has a fully spon-
sored varsity soccer team. Purdue, Illinois, Indiana and Ohid
State all have official soccer squad representatives that play in
the fall.
Soccer is THE professional sport in Europe. Most Canadian uni-
versities sponsor soccer teams. High schools throughout the country
have developed soccer, especially in the East. Even at the University
there were over 120 soccer players who worked out during the fall for
the International league and th>e newly-formed soccer club.
Modest Proposal ..
The sponsors of a varsity program at Michigan plan to present
a petition before the Board in Control of Intercollegiate Athletics
when it meets around the first of April. They want recognition of
the now existing soccer club as THE official University representative.
Without this support, the club is unable to schedule matches against
other varsity teams, or to compete in NCAA tournaments.
Though hopeful of receiving some funds to work with, sponsors
of the varsity soccer team point out that they do not need a full-time
coach or expensive facility. The abundance of available talent negates
the need for scholarships-br a recruiting program in soccer.
Wines Field, Ferry Field, Palmer Field, and the grass area.
adjacent to the Stadium are all suitable as fields. Besides the five
Big Ten universities which sponsor soccer teams, there are squads
at nearby Kenyon College and the University of Chicago-not to
mention several nearby Canadian institutions.
