Ideas on how to curb future bet-bribe scandals in basketball were as numerous as coaches attending their annual convention today. Some mentors blamed themselves for the mess, some blamed the background and homes of the players, and others said the responsibility lay with the country's general appreciation of "the quick and easy buck." All, however, expressed concern over the situation which now finds 17 players of New York city colleges charged with accepting bribes to fix the results of 20 different games during the past two seasons.

Ami yet, although Tatum is the brightest star on a team of stars, he is actually one of the most anonymous of all the Trotters. He is, at the same time, both the best known and least known of the game's major performers. The Goose is as particular about disclosing his afe, for example, as is Satchel Paige. Many fans insist they remember Tatum with the Globetrotters as far.

back as 19111 or 19:52, but owner-coach Abe Saper-stein, who has guided the team throughout its entire 24-year history, confirms with certainty that the Goose's first season was 1942-43. Tatum's debut in basketball, like everything else about his cage career, was highly unorthodox. It all started because of a rainstorm.

Tatum entered the service after his first season with the Globetrotters, and in the next three years, playing for the Lincoln, Army Air Base team, he perfected the dazzling overhead hook shot that is now his tradinark.

(TIG) WILSON of Chicago, Big Ten commissioner and NCAA mogul, agreed with Iba in part, but said he felt that if a college used a public arena for its games, the arena should be controlled by college officials and not by outsiders. Howard Cann, veteran NYU coach, and Frank McGuire, mentor at St. John's, Brooklyn, agreed that early home training also shared thp blame.

Tatum's most memorable experience, the Goose has another choice as the outstanding incident in all of his globetrotting, even though he wasn't a Trotter when it happened. It was back in 1940, when Tatum was playing his first organized basketball with a semi-pro factory team in Madison, Ark. "We went up for a game in Earl, Tatum recalls, "and when we got there we found the court was a two-room gym. One basket was in one room and one in another, and a door separated the two halves of the court. The Earl L-ain worked us over.

It was their home court, and they really knew how to get through that door." Surprising enough, the Goose acquired his famed nickname long before he played basketball.
