This year as in nearly all pre
vious years the football schedule
includes only three major games
to be played at home. Why all
three of these are with the Con
ference teams and are on an al
ternate basis. The other games
are all out of town, except for a
scrimmage with North Texas State
Teachers College of Denton. This
means three of our regular Con
ference games will be on the road
as well as all major non-confer
ence games including Texas Tech
at San Antonio, Louisiana State
Univ. at Baton Rouge, and Okla
homa at Norman.
The reason the Athletic Council
gives is that we make more money
on road games. Maybe we do and
maybe we don’t. They haven’t tried
major home games in so long no
one can say.
The whole story boils down
to the point that too many
things on the campus are fig
ured in dollars and cents. It
looks like the council could
aford to make a little less
money on at least one of the
non-conference games in order
to give the corps a break once
a year.
The Texas Tech game is play-
ied at San Antonio every year. This
game could alternate between
schools with very little difference
in the gate. At present the Red
Raider stadium will only seat!2,
"000 but that is always full, which
would at least guarantee each
school $6,000. This dosen’t com
pare too favorably to the stadium
in San Antonio, which seats 20,000
but the Athletic Departments of
both schools could aford the loss
until the new stadium is complet
ed at Lubbock. (It is being erected
now).
