Aggie Strcjng Point Is Distance Events By RAY HOLBROOK ] ibnadn*. ’ J ' 1 This spring’s Aggie track team lookw to the mile and two-pillo uvonts as tho mainstays by which _tho ('adots hopo to aofond their Houthwost Conference crown. > The distances, its those two eWrits are dubbed by cinder fol lowers, will be capably taken care of by last fall's conference cham pionship cross-country team. Led by junior Julian Herring, the bar riers made it two in a row for the Maroon runners. Add senior J. D. Hampton, 1948 cross-country champion and mile and two-mije record holder, and you have a potent group from which to choose. Sophomores Jim McMahon, John Garmany, Jack Jones, Alex Ortiz, and senior Jerry Bonnen are the Cross-country lettermen from Xvhom Coach Ray Putnam will have to pick this spring. Ortiz will be running the half mile, but all the rest will be shooting for pla-i ces in the longer distances. Hampton Looking Good At this time it is hard to tell just which boys will be in what events. Hampton has been looking particularly good at the two-mile, ,snd Garmany and McMahon have turned in creditable miles, Herring-js probably a sure thing in the four-tapper. Bonnen in his last year will probably stick to the two-mile, the event in which he has lettered for the past three Copipatitlon thli Mil to stiff, “ tion • r , n year will be wjgpva, the Til tbph star, |s seeking to fill the «hocii of Jerry Tnpmpson iind wjll tic tough l»| tiny event from the d«) through the Ivkn-mllc, lie was ilppod nl the tape by Herring In laat fiill’ii crosa-Vountry confci- •bee moot.

This strong competition makes it doubt ed if Hampton or anyone else will pe able to (repeat (his ’49 i feat of winning both distance events. From this wealth of distance material will also be molded a four- rpile relay which could easily be the best in the nation. With such proven millers as Hampton and Herbing aided by any two of the other four fine prospects, you have (he makings of a championship relay team such as A&M boastgd in the mile relay in 1948. t;.|: ft : J.

Paper Editors Say No to SW Gag Rule Galveston, Tex., Feb. 28—tfl’l— The Texas Associated Press Man aging Editors Association express ed opposition Monday to the South west Conference’s proposal to re strict interviews of football coaches and players. The association also criticized the Texas Intercholastic League for holding closed meetings. In annual session, the associa tion in a resolution said: “The Tex as APME, representing the major ity of Texas daily newspapers, .deplores any tendency on the part of the Southwest Athletic Con ference, or any other organization, to hinder the free flow of news.” The resolution came as the re sult of a proposal made to the Tex as Sports Writers Association last January that coaches and players at football games not be interviewed until an hour after a game -was over. James H. Stewart, executive secretary of the conference,’- in presenting the proposal to the Sports Writers Associa tion, said it Svaa the wish of the coaehoH and athletic directors of conference schools. He said it was felt that talking to a enaeh im mediately after a game Involved the danger of the coach, having Just finished (ft hard gpnie, saying something in the heal of the nr- caston that might reflect on the gartie or his nlnpnnent. If the enaeh Is Jglvon a '(cooling off" period such will not happen, Stewart pointed out. j The Sporlsj Writer* Association agreed to. utiidy the matter and have a eomnjdttee meet with the coaches at the spring meeting of the Southwest Conference in Aus tin. Sport*! Writers Out Action by tjhe managing editors, however, apparently obviates any action the sports writers might contemplate. The sports writers work for the managing editors. Charles A. Guy, editor and pub lished of the; Lubbock Avalanche- Journal, who with Felix McKnight, assistant mahaging editor of the Dallas Morning News, and Albert Nfbling, managing editor of the Sherman Democrat, made up the committee drafting the resolution, told the Managing Editors As sociation that “the Southwest Con ference has gotten too big for its pants. It seems to me it should be cut down to fit them.” “Let’s be honest with each oth er,”! he declared. “Inter-collegiate football in the Southwest Confer ence, as is the case elsewhere, is no longer just a schoolboy sport. It Is big business. The players no fonger merely ‘dp jar die for deaf old Siwash’. They!‘do °f die’ for board and room; tgiMon, spend ing! money an< L > n some instances, with an eye on a fat professional contract. Most of the material Texas papers run on Southwest Conference football is not ne,ws. It is publicity from which pat ronage is swollen to phy off sta- diuijn debts and astronomicail sal aries for coaches and others of ficially connected. We want news, at Ijeast some imes, and we should tell the Southwest Conference we expfect to get it—and prfnt it. There have been several recent indijeations that the Southwest Conference has gotten to big for its pants. It seem? tp n)c it should be cut down to fit thejm.” Tbe resolution said i tbc Texas Al’ME wants it eleajily undor- stood “that it will pot condone nuc|i restrictive practices and, as the immediate superior of the spoj'ta editors, will npt agree to this or any other suppression or regulation of news , , ; the Texas APME, representing the majority of Texas dally newspaper*, da phnes any tendohey Mi the part of (lie Southwest Athli'tle Confer* one >, or any other ofganluatlon, to hinder the free flow of news." McKnight said (he cbaeho* wore "grown men who ought to know whut they are snyinjf" ■ aod he saw no reason why aiiy comment the! might have on football should be restricted. The resolution took the Texas Intorscholastic League to task for having closed meetings on mat- tenf of eligibility, policiy, etc., tak- the View that the league was ljuhlic organization and of gen- interest to the public. The Texas APME deplores the praitice of the Texas Tnterscholas- '' League in excluding reporters dn its meetings,” the resolution said. -i ' ■ i ‘' I iterscholastic League officials ve said their rcasbn for ex- iding the press from meetings recause the school men would feel free to speak out on sub jects for discussion if they knew the the - i f r remarks would be quoted in press ;V. ■ Jl p ' - 4 ' JL -**'> ‘ •'tf ere ii: considerably om Fish fo Top Shape But tonight’* | game may turn rely different Schrickel has m cagers into demonstrated men pulled two ting the Baylor on Morris Bear- to be Coach the shape the first; wins in and the Austini throuj: with an to the of 6-6. with Steers ies twice two games llets.
