In order to win tonight and | continue their unbeaten ways, the | •iiinior Aggies will Imve to turn in their best game of the season. Spotty ball handling and an in ability hit the basket which marred play against STAC Sat urday may prove costly if it continues against Baylor. As yet the Fish-Bees haven’t lteen crow ded and a’ few missed baskets haven’t made much difference. With tougher competition coming up however, the Ags will need steadier play, for a few cold moments may be the deciding factor in a close game, A fpw members of the varsity team will undoubtly attest to this fact.

NEW YORK, Jan. 13 The “Sanity Code” lias been written in-i to the books but there were !ques-i tions today about how far the na tional Collegiate Athletic' Associa tion’? new- principles of conduct will go in eliminating subsidization of athletes. The men who spearheaded the drive against semi-professionalism, Dr. Karl LeiH of Iowa, NCAA President, acknowledges the code has its “loopholes.” “We still have the alumni prob lem,” he said. “1 don’t feel we have it under control and the code no doubt will require fur ther revision.” The: set of amendments, asjadpp- ted by the some 400 major colleges and universities of the NCAA Sat urday, strike? mainly at wholesale recruiting practices. The code stipulates: 1. Financial aid may be grant ed to athletes only on the basis of need and Scholarship qualifi cations for which any studejnt is eligiMe and only by regular agencies set up by the imititu- . tion. 2. College representatives can not offer financial inducements to prospective athletes although they can appnwuh these athletes and outline financial benefits of fered to all qualified students. i No tight hounds were placed on alumni groups which pay the freight for many athletes’ educa tion.
