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

eienfly to prevent I any objections

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

few seasons \vith more hope and
vigor than it has in several yhars.
Someone who his a good reputa
tion behjhd hinp and gives hope of
delivering for A&M would be met
with opeh arms'Ky the whole school.
On that basis, Bob Neytand
w'ould best qupltfy. 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.
Siki Sikes Ss an Aggie-ex and
it is known that-he is interested in

which will be: a strong bargain

Several names have been men
tioned as prospects for a new head

land of Tennessee; Sliki Sikes, line
coach of Georgia Tech; and Harry
Stitelef, Aggie backfield coach.
Whtit is needejti as much as any-
shape.
Backfield Ci^ach Harry Stiteler

He knows the players, the,Organiza

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.

Although the f rst schei
track meCt for the Ag
until March 5/the in> cadet
relay team will gel iptq com|)ji
team spirit is spmebfody with gla
mour,* a “jrame coach.” Then, whe-
it is a good guess that Stiteler is
the choice. •!:
^ ‘Name ,, Coach May Not Be Easy To Get
TheA problem of getting a new
coach'! is hot so easy. 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. The [better known he
team will be much behind par,
the other Southwest Confer-
encgSrtimB have so much material
is, the
given.
The school Jnay
more [Support he will be
have to raise
their ante to get the cotech they
want, but that, could be dope easily
at a profit because the added gla'-j
ihour of a name coach would pay
off at the ticket window. ,
At the basketball game last
night the usually dull half-jtime pe
riod was brightened by the perr
formance of the Trampoline Club;
Nelson Davis tend Jerry Babin gave
te fine exhibition of somrr-saults
and leaps, while Jimmy Flower^
clown act brought (down the house..
Flowers [itaggered up to the tram;
poline ib the best inebriated spec;
tutor faShidn and began td do pre
carious tricks with a nonchola-ht
air.
The trampoline has been at A&M
only a month, and it wa.s surprising
that the boys turned in such a Fine
performance in such a short time.
The student body liked the program
so well that Sponsor C. L. Landis
unnouneikl that the club will give
a show at every basketball game
this seateon'.
