that throws the! selection wide
open in the 8W(i Lloyd Messer-
smith of SMU, district chairman

[)[rat (letters ifco all SWC teams
asking if given the chance, would
they participate in the playoffs.
In replying for A&M, Athletic
director Bill Carmichael said
that (the Aggies were quite in
terested in these playoffs.
Any team other than Tcxau
winning the conference will get
the nomination. Should Texas take
the conference crown again, the
second place team would get the
nod. That could be a toss-up be
tween Baylor, SMU . and A&M.
