Fresno to face Diabios in
'do or die' game tonight
Wed, Feb. 6,1974, THE DAILY COUEGIAN-3
For the -Fresno State basketball team, the game tonight with
Cal State Los Angeles may be
the most Important of the sea-
The Battlln' Bulldogs have
found themselves muzzled In
their last three games and now
carry :a 1-3 mark In the pacific
Coast Athletic Association
roundball play.
The Dlablos of CSLA, on the
other hand, are 4-0 In league
play, not counting their loss to
Long Beach. That leaves the
Dlablos in fairly good position
for a shot at an NCAA district 8
playoff spot.
But Fresno coach Ed Gregory
• thinks his team still has a
chance at the title. "I think a 7-3
record will tie and possibly win
the :jPCAA.* ^his means one
thing1. The Bulldogs must win the
rest of their games to fulfill
Gregory's prediction.     -
Fresno has five of its last six
games at home and any coach
knows you have to win at home.
But, because of the many uses
of Selland Arena, the Fresno
cagers cannot get In much practice on the arena floor.
The Bulldogs are going to have
early by controlling the tempo
of the game. "They (CSLA) are
a good shooting team, and they
have quickness,* Gregory said.
"They play well tn the open court
running game, so It will be up
to us to play fe controlled game.*

starting only one senior, Alfonso
.Brlgham; a Junior, Billy Mal-
lory; two sophomores, Dwigfat
Slaughter and Tommle Llpsey;
and two freshmen. BobbyTaylor
and Terry Tate.
Llpsey prepped at Jefferson
High School In Los Angeles,
where he averaged 28 points a
game and was named all-City
and player-of-the-year. Taylor,
Tate and Slaughter were all top
preps In southern California.
Even If the Gregory-led Bulldogs can get by the Dlablos this
season, they will have to 'contend with them for the next
couple of years.
Gregory thinks the key to the
contest will be defense. "We
lake them play defense, If

Expected to start for Fresno

held out the possibility of

Bruce Hennlng, Fresno's 6-
foot-10 Junior center, has not let
the rough play under the boards -
in recent games stop him from
bringing up his rebounding average.
Although   he la 'handling It'
well," Gregory feels that forward Charles Bailey, one of the
Bulldogs'   top shooters,  Is "a
marked man.' Bailey has been
held down in scoring in recent
games, but still is scoring la
the high teens in most contests.
If Fresno Is lo beat CSLA, Bailey
will have to carry a trig share
of the scoring load.
At the other forward slot will
. be super sophomore, Roy Jones,
Jones has been playing consistently all season and shows an
amazing confidence In his shooting ability.
The ball handling of guards
Geoff Brandt and Dave Cumberland will be a key factor
against the Dlablos. For Fresno
to mount any kind or scoring
threat, it - must be able to get
the ball down court against the
CSLA full court zone press. A
couple of steals by the Dlablos,'

College basketball recruiting needs stricter enforcement
when the real fun began.
He got personal telegrams
from two state senators, encouraging to attend this school.
His family twice had to. have
Its  telephone  number changed.
One evening-, one college coach
went to the front porch, only to
be met by another coach on his
lng coffee In the dining room and
a Atfgrth was talking to the father
on the phone.
Two thousand people met the
young man at the airport when he
paid a visit to the city, while
three or four coeds ('Kittens")
lng a two-day stay on campus.
FlnaHy, after It was over,
Kent Benson decided to attend
Indiana University. He agreed
that the attention shown him at
the University of Kentucky was
fun, but he chose Indiana because he "wasn't looking Just for
Of course, Kent Benson is not
the typical high school recruit,
but his story is only the latest
example of the type of things that
go on nowadays when college
basketball coaches comb the
bushes for talent. At times,
they're bushwhackers, clubbing
their victims with attention.
The University of Kentucky,
according to Its athletic asso
ciation financial report, spent
$17,958.50 on basketball recruiting In 1973, more thandou-
ble what  it had been the year
This does not Include another
$10,000 the school spent on
scoutlng-recrultlng.
The Atlantic Coast Conference AVERAGE Is $37,000. One
coach In the Paclflc-8 Conference reportedly spent $150,000
on recruiting last year.
•I've been coaching for more
than 20 years now," said Ralph
Miller of Oregon State, "and I
can tell you that this'problem of
recruiting Is worse now than It's
A three-year suspension was
given to Long Beach State for
recruiting malpractices. Miller
said the current rules of the -
National Collegiate Athletic Association were reasonable, but
he thought It was 'about time we
enforced them."
But the coaches have said this
for several years now and the
problem exists In Just about
every comer of the country,
though in varying degrees.
First-year assistant Jim Har-
rlck of Utah State estimates "90
per cent of the coaches*.today
are honest, but he knows there
are Instances of shady golngs-
I  the high school where prep      this.1
Jackie Robinson
was being recruited.
"There were times when we
had two or three or four coaches
waiting around wanting to talk
to him,' said Harrick.
"People went to his home on
weekends without us knowing
about It. They flew tn from Oregon and Washington and Las
Vegas lo see him. I know they've
got a Job to do, but you can only
take so much."
Harrlck said he didn't think
giving a youngster a T-shirt or
a dinner was particularly bad,
but he noted that one school paid
a $200 phone bill for a prospect
and provided the player's family
with a $85 hotel room on a visit.
•Cheating Isn't that bad, but
It is going on, I don't care what
some coaches will tell you •
Harrlck said. 'Talking to a
prospect is good, I see where it
helped our kids last year. But
I,
Jim Williams of Colorado
State calls the whole operation
"cutthroat" antfaald he "doubted
If there are any kids today worth
spending time on."
Bob Cousy, former coach of
the Kansas city-Omaha Kings of
the National Basketball Asso-
resigned because "there
Is n
o life til
losing and playing basketball."
And Pete Newell, general
manager of the Lakers and onetime coach at USF, Michigan
State and California, said stories
of illegal practices are'a bloody
shame* and It was a "helluva
Indictment" of college athletics -
If, as some people say, you can't
get to the top without cheating.
" •Cheating' la not that extensive on the West Coast,* says
Frank Arnold, UCLA assistant
who is chairman of the National
Assoclstionof
es (NABC) Recruitment Committee. "Nationally, of the young
people we surveyed, I think maybe 10 per cent told us of under-
the-table things. But even that
is too many when you think about
It — one kid per team.*
•What It bolls down to,* said
Stan Morrison ol pacific, "la
that some people want to play
with a stacked deck. They've
forgotten that this is Just a game.
I don't like people who cut corners, but Just the other day I had
a youngster come to me and say,
'Coach, you're going to lose this
kid (a recruit) if you don't buy
him something.' If It ever came
down to that, roe having to buy
someone, then I'm going to get
out of the business.*
But, Uke one player saya,
'Just like they bought you, they
could also sell you. They, will
drop you like a scorched potato
If you don't produce.'
