CAfCH A it WLL you ANV Court Game Is Surviving Stigma Of Bribe Scandal By SVO KROMSI1 NEW YORK Has college basketball in Madison Square Garden survived the stigma of the bribery scandals? At the half way mark of the schedule, figures show only a slight decline In the. average per as compared to last season, the difference being 1,685.

That Garden was tho focal point for the bribery scandals which rocked the very foundation- of the hoop game. But basketball, a highly interesting spectator sport as well as a favorite on the college winter athletic docket, is made of Sterner stuff. Prior to the bribery mess, four New York Ciiy colleges played most of their home games on the Garden court. NYU, CCNY, SI. Johns and LIU mot the top cage teams from all corners of the nation, Manhattan, St.

Francis and Brooklyn College were, also on the agenda for a few games each season. LAIKilC. These, schools have large enroll- jttonts, alurnni and followers. And the crowds flocked to tho Xcv York arena for the collegiate double-headers. But then came the rude awaken ing.

Players admitted shaving point margins and dumping games. The New York Districc Attorney's office revealed a sor did picture of athletes consorting with unsavory underworld char- actors, Some observers forecast tho doom of the sport, especially when out-of-town schools were discovered to have "point throwers' on their teams, too. LIU dropped intercollegiate ath k-tics. Authorities forced CCNY and Brooklyn to eliminate the Garden as the site for their basketball games. Thus the Garden was forced to cut tlie number of doubie-headei dates for this season.

But the attendance figures show no sharp decline. At the same half way point of the '50-'ol season, the Garden average attendance was 12,548, Al the same spot this season the average was 10,863. But two years ago C49-'50) the average was 15,800. Without any scandals 01 probes the drop was 3,252. Ned Irish, Garden executive and impresario of the sport there, believes the main reason for the attendance drop has been the scarcity of entertainment money.

Says Irish: "The overall picture of sports and entertainment in general throughout the country shows that attendance is down this, year as compared to last. Attendance has been lower this season on other annual Garden events such as the rodeo and the-horse show. "I do believe, however, that there are signs of an upward trend in the entire entertainment field. And that would include EXCOURAtilKG SIGN "An encouraging sign about the college games at the Garden is the increase in student attendance, NYU is selling 20 per cent more student tickets than a year ago. Yes, it looks like an upward climb from here." Of course that old bugaboo television also rears its ugly head in any discussion of Garden basketball events.

Irish didn't mention the increase in TV sets in the New York area which may cut into Garden attendance. An example of the effect of TV occurred recently St. Louis U. met NYU. Indications were that it: would be a good scrap.

Originally it was scheduled as the sec- oned game of the evening and second games of collegiate double-headers are televised. Then the game was moved up and off TV. The fans made a last minute box office rush. The result was the biggest crowd of the season. Maybe Irish is right.

Maybe the trend will be upward from here. Sports fans are a hardy breed, Give them good attraction they'll break any arena; down the doors of Basketball Scores HIGH SCHOOL Grant 50, Big Springs 45. Elsie 59, Venango 38. Winside 68, Osmond 34, Syracuse 48, Peru Prep. 41.

The 1950-51 Kentucky captain was closeted all day Wednesday with assistant district attorneys. Discrssio.v recRET There was no word as to what they discussed, but it was learned Hirsch gave his fullest co-opera- don. District Attorney Frank Hogan charged in an affidavit signed by O'Connor that Hirsch and two other Kentucky players, Dale Barnstable and James Line, accepted bribes to shave points in games played in Kentucky and Arkansas in 1949 and 1950, Barnstable already is under indictment, along with Alex Grpza and Ralph Beard, oh charges of accepting mpney to fix a game in New York.

STAR STARTS POORLY Not many people ever have seen such a sensational performance as Andy turned in Wednesday when she won the women's slalom ski race.

She was as good as beaten in the first 150 yards. At a relatively simple spot, Andry went "plop." But the 19-year- old Rutland, housewife bounded up and plunged headlong down he course at break neck speed. Her recovery was so amazing that she finished in the fourth best lime for the first run. On her second run she whizzed down the course in an amazing 1:03.4, two full seconds faster than anybody else did all afternoon. Her otal time for the two runs was .2:10.6 and Oss'i Reicherl of Germany, the first round leader, failed catch her by eight-tenths of a second.

Only 12 months ago that was. Now wo see that a seasoned big leaguer named Mickey Mantle has been asked to report a week earlier than the other Yankee outfielders for a little special instruction preparatory to taking over DiMaggio's old post in center field. STKXGI.E PREDICTS It is doubtful that baseball ever will produce a more improbable story than that of the Oklahoma flyer, and those of us who chanced to be around to watch Manager Casey Stengel's eyes pop the first time he saw the kid run from first to third will treasure U.e memory.

"He's going to run some fielders crazy," Casey prophesied. "Some umpires, too," Millions who watched the big play-off on television last fall will recall vividly the bizarre scene when Mantle suddenly fell headlong while racing for a fly ball and lay so alarmingly the heart skipped a couple of beats. KNEE HEALED The knee which snapped under him apparently was healed completely. Recent X-rays found nothing wrong, and Mickey says the member feels as strong as ever. The "phecnpm" should be in better mental condition than he was last season.

The osteomyelitis which makes him unfit for military service now is known to be a permanent affliction and t. should be no more of the vicious loiters which harassed him and his draft board from the time his name first appeared in the Yank lineup.
