CFTO paid $375,000 a year for Pitt Cagers Testity That Bribes Offered PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Two University of Pittsburgh basket. ball stars testified Tuesday that a dentist offered them lucrative bribes to shave points during games. John Fridley and Dick Fa- lenski, both seniors, told a crim- inal court jury that Dr. Edward Sebastian approached them with his offers in December, 1959. "He said he would bet on all Pitt games and would give me half of his winnings if I would shave points," said Fridley, one of Pitt's outstanding scorers. Fridley also claimed that Dr. Sebastian, a former instructor in the university's dental school, offered him a guaranteed ad- mittance to the school, a sena- torial scholarship, a $1,000 en- gagement ring for $400 and a car below wholesale price, " Falenski said he also was promised a scholarship and a guarantee that he would be ad- mitted to dental school If he shaved points. Dr. Sebastian has denied the accusations. Anita's Son Given Top Weight Sat.
