5. (iP) A group of strangers fleeced a several local businessmen of more than $1,000 with a counterfeit mutuel ticket racket, New Orleans Fair Grounds authorities said Tuesday. The strangers approached the businessmen on Sunday, saying they had winning tickets on a New Year's day race but could not stay in town to cash them. The businessmen ob tained the tickets at a few dollars be low their face value. i The hoax was discovered when the tickets were presented at the track Tuesday.

Fair Grounds authorities pointed out that they keep a record of all uncashed tickets and their sym bols. The tickets, originally with losing numbers, had been altered to show the number of Blank Dismay, which paid $30.20 for $2 in winning the third race last Saturday.

(P) The Rose Bowl carved up the largest financial melon of the some $2,500,000 that poured in from the New Year's day football games but two of the fattest individual slices went to the teams in the Sugar Bowl. North Carolina and Oklahoma received the fat purses at New Orleans better than $102,000 each without any commitments to share it. Principals in the Rose and Cotton Bowls were paid off handsomely but had to scatter some of their wealth among their conference brothers. Even so, it looked as if California and Oregon, the coast co champions, both would wind up with a bit moie than $100,000. Oregon not only receives its share of the Cotton Bowl profits but, as a Pacific Coast' member, gets a bit of the money taken in by the Rose Bowl.

While the Pasadena sponsors haven't completed their audit, the best estimate is that their game grossed $533,000 after taxes. This includes receipts from approximately 89,270 ticket sales and $100,000 for radio and television rights. Of the total, the Tournament of Roses Association gets about $129,000, leaving approximately $404,000 to be split between the Pacific Coast and Western Conferences. Here's how the two conferences den! out the dough: University of California, the host team in the bowl, gets half the conference share in this case, $101,000 and $25,000 goes to the conference treasury. What's left is distributed among the members.

California shares in this, too. The Big Nine divides the pot 11 ways. Northwestern gets two shares, one share goes to the commissioner's office and one goes to each of the other eight members. The Sugar Bowl collected around after deduction of taxes, from its 83,000 customers and dished it out in a less complicated manner. The change isn't counted officially but North Carolina and Oklahoma, the competing teams, appear sure to get $102,000 or more.

The rest, after expenses, goes to help pay off the stadium indebtedness, around $825,000. The Cotton Bowl at Dallas grossed $309,525.60. Uncle Sam snatched $50, 400 of this for taxes and the State Fair of Texas took 15 per cent of tht remainder for stadium rental. The competing teams, Southern Methodist and Oregon, were left with a paltry $108,912.47 each. S.

M. U. had to pay 25 per cent of its share $27, 478.11 to the conference. Oregon voluntarily voted to kick a hunk of its take to the P. C.

C. At Miami, the Orange Bowl's 60,523 persons paid $323,400, including taxes. About $41,000 was turned over to the city for stadium rental. Texas and Georgia, which furnished the enter tainment, received $75,000 each. The smaller bowls haven't finished all their figuring but several already have seen enough to recognize red ink.

The Fresno (Calif.) Junior Chamber of Commerce, sponsor of the Raisin Bowl, said it would lose between $3, 000 and $5,000. Harbor Bowl officials at San Diego said they "almost broka even" after dividing $62,500 of their $75,390 receipts between Nevada and Villanova. The Delta Bowl at Memphis drew a disappointing 15,000 peo ple half of the crowd expected. The Sun Bowl took in around $49,. 000, assuring West Virginia and Texas Mines $12,000 apiece.

The new Prairie View Bowl at Hous ton took in only $15,119 altogether and had to pay Wilberforce (Ohio) and Prairie View after expenses were lopped off the top. BASKETBALL s. College Southwestern La.

(P) The foreigners have gone home and from now until early March Southeastern Conference basketball teams generally will keep their best and worst within the family. Of eight remaining games this week six involve only Southeastern teams.

Tuesday night's Southwestern Mississippi game in Oxford and Saturday'? Loyola Tennessee game in Knoxville are the only two with out of league opponents. Two Southeastern games Friday are the headliners for this week: Georgin Mississippi in Oxford, and Georgia Tech Tulane in New Orleans. Mississippi is the only unbeaten team since Kentucky tumbled last week to St. Louis 42 40. Georgia lost a lot of its new foun4 prestige Monday when Fur man defeated the Bulldogs 71 56.

However, the Rebel Bulldogs game still ranks high as both teams are well up in Southeastern standings. Tulane's record would be nearly the best in the nation if Kentucky would leave the Green Wave alone. Tulano has won ten out of 12 their only losses being to the Wildcats. Tech has yet to play a conference game and the Yellow Jackets will be underdogs against Tulane. Tech's only deefats were in the east against Long Island and LaSalle.

Other Saturday games are Auburn Florida in Gainesville, Georgia Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Tech L. S. in Baton Rouge and Mississippi State Tulane in New Orleans. 1 During the first month against foreign teams the Southeastern won 57 games and lost 20 for .740 percentage. The figures lose some of their luster since most out of eonference opposition wasn't the strongest.

A majority of games lost by Southeastern representatives were to first class teams while most of the victories were over weaker opposition. Among teams defeating Deep South fives were: Oklahoma A. and Texas, Baylor, S. M. Pittsburgh, N.

Y. Long Island, LaSalle, St. Louis, Louisville, Rice, St. Johns, St. Joseph's, Arkansas, and Dartmouth.

J. Foster Miami Coach OXFORD, Miami of Ohio uses a very unsual free throw setup. It has been very satisfactory for us, and many teams play us differently. We don't know quite what to expect Miami's big men, Bill DuMont, six feet three and 210, and Bob Brown, six six and 205, take up positions under the basket. A team will ordinarily convert seven of 10 free throws.

We get possessim for sure on these occasions. Whether the opposition uses two or three men against my big fellows th still get half of the rebounds. Then we are in position for a fast break that will surely pit three men against two, The man attempting the foul shut has his back to his opponent, and consequently doesn't know which way the player is breaking. He has the psychological uneasiness of havinj to look for his man as soon as we gain possession. In the accompanying diagram, one takes the rebound and passes to three, who always breaks to the same side as the rebound.

Three immediately ass es to four breaking directly across the court. Four dribbles down the side Miami's free throw setup. while three is following up the pats by cutting through the middle. Five moves across court simultaneously with four. Four passes to three, who returns the pass after four has gone by his defensive man.

Four then has an easy lay up. The alternate routes are indicated for a rebuond that goes to the other In that case, four goes straight down, five maneuvers on his side and three again breaks through the middle, giving us much the same situation. INDEPENDENT CAGERS TO HOLD TOURNEY AT SIKES SIKES, Jan. 5. (Special) The Sikes Independent Basketball Tourna ment will be held here Saturday, January 22, and all independent teams interested are invited to participate.

i The entrance fee is $3 per team, and interested clubs are invited to contact Clio Adams, manager of the Sikes Basketball club, by writing box 96, Sikes. I paw, to start Bearden rewarded his NEW YORK, Jan. 5. () The joker who still speaks of golf as "an old man's likely will get a shock when the 1949 Walker cup matches are played at Winged Foot in August. It will be the first invasion of the United States by a British Walker cup team since 1936 and the kids who played on both sides then are now a btinch of grizzled old gaffers who aren't serious contenders for the team.

The 1936 leaders were Johnny Goodman, Scotty Campbell and Johnny Fischer for the U. S. and Hector Thompson, Jack McLean and Cecil Ewing for Britain. This year's American side likely will show such players as Willie Turnesa. Ray Billows, Frank Stranahan, Ted Bishop, Skee Riegel and maybe one oldster, John Dawson.

Thirteen years ago Dawson wasn't exactly sanitary in the eyes of the U. S. G. A. and never has been eligible for a cup team.

He's O. K. as an amateur now and may get his chance now that he's nearly too old for such competition. Receiving End Two Penn State footballers, Joe Drazenovich and John Smidansky, recently met in the heavyweight final of an intra mural boxing tournament, The lads really enjoyed throwing leather at one another for three rounds without a thought of defense. In the third round both were showing the effects and footballer Bob Higgins, who was watching and wincing as if he were taking every punch, finally turned to boxing coach Leo Houck in protest.

"Leo," said Bob, "why don't you stop this. I don't want either of those boys hurt" Shorts And Shells Cleveland's Bill Veeck, still steaming up that feud with Dan Topping of the Yankees, claims Dan is "the only man who ever fired a championship football manager and a cham pionship baseball manager in the same year.1 Bill Yeoman, who plays center on the Army football and basketball teams (he must be in a rut) is out for the remainder of the cage season with a busted hand. Charley Green and Buck Hood, from the two Austin, Tex, newspapers the American and Statesman decided to go whole hawg on Orange Bowl coverage when Miami folks called Texas a third rate team. They virtually stripped their sports departments of manpower, and still they couldn't get enough words out of Miami to describe the Texas victory over Georgia. A New Type 0 Gag The Big Seven Conference, of which Missouri is a member, is very proud of its rule that honest weights for football players must be listed in the programs.

They even invite disinterested sports writers to witness the weigh in. So when Missouri played Clemson in the Gator Bowl New Years Day, the program erroneously listed Dave Armstrong, Missouri end, as weighing 780 pounds instead of 180. Broadcaster Walt Kennedy noticed the typographical error and told Frank Howard, Clemson coach, "There's one player who'll be hard to move." Howard 1 ted intently and replied: "That's Don Faurot and his honest weight." curbbowl games sought Organization Moves To Curtail Rash Of Football Spectacles By Russ Newland SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 5. () Curtailment of the rash of football bowl games that sprang up this season appeared certain Tuesday as members of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and related groups launched their 1949 meetings here.

Dr. Karl Leib of the University of Iowa, president of the N. C. A. sounded the keynote on probable action to curb the growth of post season gridiron contests.

He said he "was opposed to the commercialization of college teams in post season games." He added, he "favored bowl games operated under the same conditions as the Rose, Cotton and Orange bowls. The East West game in San Francisco is in the same category as those mentioned." Dr. Leib, as spokesman for the organization that embraces the largest number of colleges in the country, said a report of a special committee appointed to make a survey of all bowl games would be presented to the membership this week. The committee is composed of Vic Schmidt, commissioner of the Pacific Coast Conference; Bernie Moore, commissioner of the Southeast Conference, and Horace Renegar, athletic director and assistant to the president of Tulane University. Other important items cn the agenda of the meetings, which run through Saturday, will be discussion of the N.

C. A. sanity code, studies of a committee report on future relations of television and college football. The American Football Coaches Association, holding its annual meeting concurrently, is prepared to debate the controversial issue of unlimited substitutions. Whether much will come of it appeared Tuesday to be a moot question.

It was more or less freely predicted the rule would remain unchanged. Lou Little of Columbia, chairman of the coaches' advisory board to the national rules committee, indicated a poH of the membership favored the legislation as it is now written. Among suggested changes to the ruling, which now permits substitutions of full teams when time is out, are unlimited substitutions only when the ball changes hands. Some replies to the questionnaire favored limitation of substitutes to three at a time. The principal topics will be discussed Friday, at a joint meeting of the N.

C. A. A. representatives and the coaches. SENIOR LEAGUE Team Won Lot Pet.
