DALLAS, May 12 -(A?- The
S juthwest Conference facility com-
nittee, meeting at Houstop Friday
n ght, Is expected to restr ict par
ticipation of its member# in New
V ear’s Day Bowl gatnes and to
cut in each member of the confer-
e; ice op the proceeds of those that
d) participate.
iA committee has already made
its recommendations to the faculty
group but what they are was not
revealed today by James H. Stew-
aft, conference executive secretary,
Who said thW matter and the ques
tion of penalties for violation of
the rule on financial aid to athletes
vjould be the major topics of dis
cussion at the annual spring meet-
Last January 1 four confer-
fnce Schools had teams in bowl
games, bringing the demand
from some quarters that there be
biliiuit placed on such partici-
plttott.
: There were reports, that the fac-
ujltjy committee might not restrict
the number of teams hut accomp
lish the objective by reducing the
financial haul for the participants
\ lilihis Would be done by cutting in
ipll members of the Conference on
the money the participating team
rpceivhd.
Stlgwart has made recommend
ations regarding control of fin-
jancial aid to athletes. The rule
[now in effect limits such aid to
tuition, books, room, hoard and
laundry and bans all outside help.
[Stewart is recommending the
penalties that will be invoked
[for violations.
[ Another question up fm- discus
sion is expected to involve elimi
nation of B-team football which
hjas been allowed during recent
years as a means of providing
competition for as many students
uis possible during abnormal enrol-
ijierit.; Coaches favor return to the
did system of only varsity and
fjreshman teams.

record, and is one tenth of a second under
the Conference mark. Although he was
helped by a wind at hfc back this means
that the Arkansas flash will figure in the

Scott’s other accomplishments include
browing the javelin* close to 190 feet and
anchoring the Razorback’s crack sprint relay
