Stewart, who Was in effect given the power of a commissioner by the faculty committee of the conference meeting here ovei* the week-end. declared that the banning of outside aid to athletes through rules “with teeth in them"; and a whole-heart ed pledge of co-operation from the athletic directors of all seven Schools had put the conference in fu|i accord with the so-called “pur ity ifode" recommended to the Na- tional Collegiate Athletic Asso ciation, and which is due to be actetl upon ih January. In fact, said diirlsfcfetary. the ebnference has gone even further. Npw financial aid in. any way outside the schocul is prohibited apt! ijthe aid that can be given by - the Schools has been raised suffi- eienfly to prevent I any objections to what may be obtained.

The sufprike resignation of ther justified for not, the school Coach Homer Norton caught the A&M campus, 'including the sports departftient, by surprise. As was the ctese last year, some rumors were speculating on the possibility of his contract being bought out, but this time they wert true, and when the money came in Mbnday night ho time was wasted closing the deal.

He has turned out. quite a few* Bowl teams in the, past but has iiotjdelivered for Ten nessee in the Iktet couple of years. He might be persuaded to come if handled right.

[IT tf etti Methfodist’s football br already knows its Cott opponent—Penn State time defense record agair infc this year and turne best total defense mark since 1937.. But if the Mustangs figure their best bet against the Nittany Lions is through the^air, let them cogi tate that on a percentage basis Penn State’s aerial umbrella the past season was the most effective in the nation. Only 27.2 per cent of enemy tosses found their mark, i On the customary basis of yards yielded per game, North Carolina State noteed out Colorado College fqr the pass defense crow-n, while Penn State hogged total and rushJ ing defense honors. The National Collegiate Athletic Bureau, in releasing final defehste 'statistics; today, did a little re search arid came up with the ift- fprmatioh that Penn State now holds both ground and air defentee records, [j ; ; J. j ' ■ 1 ■ Back in 1938 • the Staters siet three pass defense records thpt still stand. Foes that year com pleted only 10 passes jin eight games, for average gains; of 13.1 yards per game and 1.78 yards per jitess atttehipt. This year the Lions held their pine foes to an average of Only 17 ground yards per game. Against both rushes and passes Penn State yielded 7(5.8 yards per game, low- ekt since Shnta Clara’s record 69.9 in 1937. Thus Penn State not only reverse id the trend by setting a terrific defensive pace in a season dedicatl ed to offense, but the Lions alsb Won ' over-all statistical honbrs; They finished fourth in total of fense with 363.9. yards averaged per game, ami second in rushing offense behind leading Detroit; with 301,4. So the Staters hold a 287-1 yards per game advantage over their op-l ponehts’ [gains, followed by Notre Dame, 240.4, and Michigan 221.3. Michigan won the total: offense crowTi with the Irish second.

Suprisingly enough A&M pays a fairly good wage, estimated at $14,000 to its head football coach. And that is usually on ai five-year contract. Another point; is that A&M is, or left over froip last season. Take SMU, Texas, Rice, and TCU and; find much chance of beating them. The freshman steam had only about three men who have a chance of making the vgrsaty hext year. So the coach who takes over at has been, a big football school. But A&M will be W brave man. But at a new coach will d* consider his ; least the studght body will be be chances of turning out a good team hind him and give him a chance in the near future. Not that our to deliver.
