Post Asked to Retract Article On Two Coaches
The Saturday Evening Post is urged to retract a libelous article accusing Alabama Coach Paul Bryant and Georgia official Wallace Butts of colluding to rig the Georgia Alabama game. Georgia Attorney General Eugene Cook leads a state inquiry, with potential interviews of players and involved figures, including Johnny Griffith and Frank Graham Jr. The move follows the Post's claim that Bryant and Butts shared game details eight days before Alabama’s 35 to 0 victory.
