Cribbing Scandal At William and Mary Shakes Oldest College

The College of William and Mary faces a major rebuilding after a cribbing scandal tied to the honor code. About 30 to 35 students were dropped, including first string football and basketball players, amid admissions of infractions and withheld identities. This follows a 1951 episode where athletes’ grades and transcripts were altered to aid eligibility. The basketball team lost five varsity players and the football team lost captains and several other players. In Brooklyn, the Dodgers acquired pitcher Russ Meyer in a three way deal, with the Mets, Braves, Reds, and Pirates also involved, reshaping the pennant race. Meyer could bolster Brooklyn with Preacher Roe and Carl Erskine in the rotation, while the Braves gained Pendleton and Adcock, and stockpiled with cash. The trade also sends signals of further maneuvering as teams seek starting pitching and lineup depth for the coming season.
