Florida football bribery tale tops reader account
A Florida State University scheme to fix a Florida Gators game sought $1500 from 21 year old Jon Macbeth of Pensacola to shave points in a 3 0 victory. Macbeth reported the plot to police and university investigators and played hard, while two alleged organizers Aaron Wagman of New York and Philip Silber, UF student, were arrested. Macbeth, a physical education major, described the approach, payments, and fear of repercussions but expressed relief the plan failed.

Rams Weigh Shift of Matson to Defense amid Loss
Rams coach Bob Waterfield floated moving Ollie Matson from offense to defense after Friday night’s 43-21 defeat to the Cardinals. He doubted the switch, citing Matson’s age, 30, and adjustment difficulty, while noting Ed Meador as the only Ram capable of man-for-man coverage. Waterfield hoped for better defense against the 49ers with Buck Lansford’s return as L.A. eyes improved trench play and a more balanced setup. Rookie end Carroll Dale earned team recognition as week’s pro player for a one handed touchdown catch.
