pinned White to the canvas with
both grapplers finishing the match

Frazier let White do all the
work, which included two long air

Aggie Strcjng Point

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

From this wealth of distance

honors were shared by both teams
with Leroy Miksch of the Fish

Black completing the same trick
for the Texas frosh.
The Aggies were behind during
the entire game and at one time
the Shorthorns held a 20-point

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

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

one >, or any other ofganluatlon, to

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 ‘'

team,
ThiSj whs the first time since
194(1 that the famed: Galveston

Tile win over the | previously
undefeated Buccaneers (was almost
entirely due to the ability of John
Gottlob, sophomore frjom Galves
ton. The ironical twis^ to this is
that Johnny began fencing under
the tutorage of the same Buccan
eers irt 1946.
The sabre team coxjldnit boast
the prowess that the epee t|eam ex
hibited. They came in k P < k ,r third
in the four team competition. The
only excuse that the sabre team
might offer is that the varsity
captain, Gus Mistrot, Vas out be
cause of an injury.
At first it looked asj if the Buc-
aneers were going to make; the
meet into a target pmotic^, but the
Aggies got hot and cljaned plows.
