61st Spot Again;
Rjce 5th, SMI 8th
I By FRANK SIM31EN, JR.
Win or lose, it seems the Aggies can’t move from their
61st ppot in Paul Williamsons’ weekly football ratings. They
have been in the same place for three straight weeks and it
looks; as though nothing but a 63 to 0 upset of favored Texas
University will bring them out of it.

Aggie cage mentor Marty Karqw
raid yesterday that the athletic
department, in compliance with
rule changes made last spring by
the Research Committee iff the Na
tional Basketball Coaches Asso
ciation, is having rectangular glass
backboards erected on the basket
ball court in DeWare Field House.
He also stated that new ring as
semblies of a bright orange color
would he placed on the backboards,
Karow stated that both these
changes were being made because
the above' equipment was made
mandatory for all collegiate games
this year. : m
He continued by saying that the
Research Committee, after care
ful investigation, found that the
orange basket rings are easier on
player’s eyes in shooting and that
the transparent backboards will en
able many more spectators to wit
ness the game.
Karow concluded by stating that
these rule changes were made for
the good of the game and that he
did not believe that the new glass
backboards would hurt the Aggies' 1
chances for a successful season.
Cairns, another Razorback, was
fifth. '
Other contestants, in order of
finish, were: Willie Wilkinson,
SMU, sixth; Johnny Lester, SMU,
seventh; Ben Hays, TCU, eighth;
Jack Burrus, SMU, ninth; Tom
