Allegations against the coach were stricken from the record Wed- nesday by a ruling of federal Judge H. Church Ford: Rupp's counsel asserted the charges were sham and false.

Out of said meeting will come the schedule for the 953 local senior baseball season. At the meeting will be a delegation from the COBL Sen- for Petes. They want into the group. Peterboro has already obtained official sanction for a junior team in the group, to known as the Liflocs. When the word gets around that the Petes want in too . . . we imagine the fur will fly. We don't imagine that the local Senior Transporters will sup- Jor the entry of a second am from Peterboro. The obvious reason for non- support is the double travelling expense to the Liftlock City. We don't imagine the entry will make the Peterboro jun- iors too happy either. The bat- tle for crowds would be as tough as any could be.

They defeated Accounts-Pay- able by eight points in the first game of the series played last Tuesday night at Simcoe Hall, and what with their holding a tremendous half-time advan- tage and coasting through the last half, one has to give them the favorite's role for the sec- ond and final contest to be Hlaved at the same place next esday.

Tri-Bells Meet Golden Bears EDMONTON (CP)--Two impres- sive records go on the line tonight when Toronto Nortown Tri-Bells and University of Alberta Golden Bears meet in the first game of the Canadian senior men's basket- ball final. i : If statistics mean anything, the edge in the best-of-five series goes to Tri-Bells. In 33 games to date they have lost only three, all to American teams. Alberta has a count of 29 wins and seven losses. All defeats came in the western intercollegiate play- offs. Golden Bears went through the regular season of the four-team Alberta provincial league un- scathed. Toronto, a Toileague team, had to be content with exhibition games this year. They took the Southern Ontario title against Tillsonburg Livingsons, Canadian champions last year, in straight games and handed out the same treatment to Sault Ste. Marie Gunners in the Ontario final and to Ottawa Byoukes in the eastern Canada fi- nal, Golden Bears whipped through the defending champion University of Manitoba Varsity Grads in two straight games in the Western Canada semi-final.
