Debated Sanity Code
t Reviewed for Public
This week in Dallas, one of the largest meetings of the National
Collegiate Athletic Association has been taking place. At the meeting
various questions between the conferences have been settled and oth
ers brought up.
Perhaps one of the most talked of questions that is receiving
serious thought at this meeting, as it does at all meetings, is the
famed “Sanity Code”. This code may be killed or given further
support at the meeting.
We believe that the student body of A&M and others affected by
this code, directly or indirectly, should know the real “Sanity Code”.
Below is a re-print of the “Sanity Code” from the NCAA’s constitu
tion.
Tomorrow, The Battalion will present the facts of the Southwest
Conference’s stand in the meeting, and a further explanation of the
NCAA.—The Sports Staff.

one who, engages' in sports for the physical, mentjal or social benefits

College athlete who takes or is promised pay in any form, for partici
pation in athletics does not meet his definition of an amateur.
Section 2. Principle of Institutional Control and Responsibility.
The control and responsibility for the conduct of both intercollegiate
and intramural athletics shall, in the last analysis, be exercised by the
institution itself.
Section 3. Principle of Sound Academic Standards. Athletes shall
be admitted to the institution on the same basis as any otheri students
uid shall be required to observe and maintain the same academic
itandards.
Section 4. Principles Governing Financial Aids to Athletes. Fi

tbouglv, originating from sources other than persons on whom the
recipient'may be naturally or legally dependent for support, shall be
permitted without loss of eligibility
(a) if approved and awarded on the basis of need by the
regular agency established in the recipient’s institution
for granting of aids to all students, provided, however, that
the aid thus awarded shall not exceed the amount of
tuition for instruction and for stated incidental institution
fees, or
if approved and awarded on the basis of qualifications in
which high scholarship on the part of the recipient is the
major factor and such award is made by the regmlar
agency established by the awarding institution for the
making of such awards, provided, however, that the
existence of such scholarship, felldwship or other aid and
its terms are announced in an official publication of such

missible under (a).
In. all cases the agency making the award of aid shall give the

(a) No member of an athletic staff or other official represen

aids permissible under Section 4.
(b) No member institution shall, directly or through its
athletic staff members or by any other means, pay the
traveling expenses of any prospective student visiting the
campus, nor shall it arrange for or permit excessive
entertainment of such prospective student during his visit

H AF eliminated K AF from con
tention in League E by scoring two
touchdowns in the second half and
winning 13-0.
The H AF offense did not swing
into low gear until the latter part
of the first half. Buzz Kennedy
was primarily responsible for the
ground eating attack on the win
ning airmen.
A hard blocking H AF line,
spearheaded by Jerry King, thwart
ed all efforts of the K airmen to
break through and break up the
H AF running attack.
Kennedy also threw some very
effective passes which loosened up
the defense so the H Flyers’ run
ners could break through the line
for impressive gains.
Although B TC controlled the
ball the majority of the first half,
they yielded possession of the pig
skin in the second half of the con
test to allow C AF to drive 55
yards for the winning TD.
Sonnenburg climaxed the drive
by circling end for 10 yards and
the six points.

Cadet Confidence
Wit! Determine
Future Victories
By RALPH E. GORMAN
Sports News Editor
Southwest Conference fans have seen 15 cage battles
reeled off since the beginning of the conference season, and
many would assume that it should be relatively easy now to
make a prediction or two in regard to the
eventual outcome of SWC basketball.
But the “relative ease” gains with com
plexness after each game.
Coach Presley Askew’s Arkansas Razor-
backs . . . considered tops in the Southwest
among the preseason dopesters, have taken
an embarrassing tumble to a spot just over
the cellar steps.
Up in Cowtown, the Christians of TCU
were destined to compete only with Dan
Suman’s Rice Owls, and their battle would
be for the warmth of the cellar, but they’re
seated at the throne today.
From Texas University came word that the Longhorns
would do well to finish fifth among the SWC cage powers,
and they now show a tie with A&M for second place.
That’s only a few of the major miscues in attempting to
predict another phase of athletics in our ramble-scramble
conference.
Coach John Floyd’s Aggies and the Owls are the only
members of the conference who are living up to expectations.
In Houston there was no way for the Feathered Flock to go
but up, as they finished the 1950 season in their poorest style
of many a year.
Owls Offer Little Opposition

Against Aggies Saturday . . .
McLeod, Fromme Lead Frogs
By JIM ASHLOCK
/
A&M’s quintet will be in for a
tough forty minutes of basketball
when they play host to the TCU
Horned Frogs in DeWare Field
House Saturday night.
Up to this time the Aggies stand
undefeated in Conference play,
downing Rice 51-39 and squeezing
by Baylor 55-53 in a sizzling over
time contest.
“They're tough. They have a
good ball team and a good coach,
and the team that wins Saturday
night will be the one that plays
the best ball.”
The content of the Frog five
verifies Floyd’s statement, since
coach Byron “Buster” Brannon’s
team is loaded with veteran talent.
George McLeod, 6’ 7” all-Con-
ference star from Houston who
paced his team in scoring last year,
is improved over last year and is
expected to be one of the sector’s
outstanding pivotmen.
Other returning lettermen will
include captain-elect Harvey
Fromme, James Knox, Ted Rey
nolds, Tommy Taylor, Bud Camp
bell, and Johnny Ethridge. Up from
the fish team will be Richard Al
len and Ken Miller, while two jun
ior college transfers, Johnny Tay
lor of Paris JC and Bryan Kilpat
rick of Kilgore JC, will also see
action.
Fromme, starting at forward, is
capable of dropping the ball
through the hoop from any distance
while Reynolds, the other forward,
is at his best cleaning the back-
boards. Both Fromme and Reynolds
are juniors.
Brannon has three sets of
guards, but Johnny Swain and
Ethridge will probably hold the
starting berths. Both are small,
but extremely fast and excellent
ball handlers. Brannon can also call
upon reserve guards T. Taylor,
Campbell, Taylor, and Elliot.
TCU specialized in fast breaks,
passing and breaking off their
pivotmen.
McLeod is also dangerous due
to his height and variety of shots,
his favorite appearing to be the
hook shot. But the Aggies style of
play, emphasizing ball control and
taking only the sure shots, has
shown a trend to take some of the
fire out of fast teams. This was
disclosed in the Rice and Baylor
games, in which the Aggies faced
fast breaking teams.
In the game preceding the var
sity game, A&M’s freshman team
