KXINGTON, Sus North Slight Choice MONTGOMERY, Ala. UP) -Blue-Gray football squads took It easy yesterday on Christmas. Coaches let the players off with one workout instead of the twice daily routine in effect since practice started Saturday. However, it'll be back to the two-a-day grind today. After that, the college All-Star players will start easing off for Saturday's ame.

From all indications, the interactional tussle will be largely an aerial show, providing the weather is right. Both sides have emphasized passing in the workouts. The Yankees have Don Leahy of Marquette and Bob Bestwick of Pitt to engineer their overhead attack. The Rebels probably will depend heavily on Southern Methodist's Fred Benners and Louisiana State's Jim Barton. Their passing combination plus a rugged line and a strong running attack have made the Northerners early favorites.

D. Kirwan, faculty chairman of athletics, said the athletic board had granted Spi-vey's request and suspended him. Kirwan added that Spivey "will be reinstated if his name is cleared," and added that the cage star planned to continue his studies at the university. In a letter addressed to U. of K.

President H. L. Donovan, Spivey stated he has "never been involved in fixing a basketball game in New York, Kentucky, or any other state." Hn said he asked suspension until cleared of "false and malicious rumors that have linked me as well as other Kentucky players with the current basketball scandal." Vincent O'Connonr, assistant district attorney of New York, recently returned to that city after spending six days in Kentucky investigating "fix" angles. He said he wanted to talk to two or three Kentucky players or former players, but attorneys representing the unnamed players refused to allow their clients to talk to O'Connor. The New Yorker said the men were needed in New York to testify in the prosecution of what he termed "really big criminals" involved in game fixing.
