Farmers Play
With Changes
In Foul Rules
Aggie fans last night at De-
Ware Field House took a first look
at two major basketball rule
changes, and apparently liked what
they saw.
The new “one and one” rule
gives a fouled player a second free
throw if the first is missed.
This ends the option of the of
fensive team passing up the sec
ond free throw for out-of-bounds
possession. The second shot must
now be taken.
If the first shot sinks, the team
who fouled still puts the ball in
play in the regular manner, but
if the basket is missed, the fouled
player gets a second shot, after
which the ball is in play.
A while-shooting foul still
calls for two free throws.
The other major change makes
any foul committed in the last
three minutes a two free throw
penalty.
The tendency to deliberately
foul in a desperate effort to gain
possession of the ball is lessened
because of the potential two
points for the opposing team.

Coach George Attends
Important SWC Meet
Ray George, head Aggie football
mentor, left this morning for Dal
las where he will attend the annual
three-day winter meeting of the
Southwest Conference.
Athletic Director Bones Irvin
will leave tomorrow for another
important session of the confer
ence.
Limitations on athletic scholar
ships and athletic traveling squads
as an economic and de-emphasis
measure is the most important
business for the meeting.
A committee headed by Dr. Del
bert Swartz of Arkansas will re
port on recruiting and athletic sub
sidization.
There is no limit now on the
number of athletic scholarships.
The average per school is 125 to
130 a year for all sports. The cost
has resulted in most schools losing
money on athletics.
An athletic scholarship costs
from $700 to $1,300 a- year. Some
schools have heavy tuition charges,
others very little. SMU, for in
stance, charges $533. Traveling
Wrestling Club
Elects ’53 Heads
The Aggie Wrestling Club met
Nov. 26 and elected officers for
the coming season.
John Copeland was elected pres
ident, Raul Loustaunau, vice pres
ident, and Jerry Ryle, secretary.
The Club has arranged to
wrestle Texas, the Houston YMCA,
the San Antonio YMCA, and the
Dallas Athletic Club on a home
and home basis.
A state wide invitational AAU
meet is planned for April said
James W. Griffin, wrestling coach.
“We will also attend any tourna
ments that we can” Griffin con
tinued.
Blind Bogey Slated
In MSC Friday
The weekly Blind Bogey con
test will be held Friday in the
MSC bowling alleys.
The contest Friday is open to
students only. Other bowlers hold
their contest on other days during
the week.
Each week a model score is se
lected at random from a box. The
score may be anything from a 70
to 150. The person who records
his game oil Friday and comes
closest to the selected score wins
a prize.
In this way, every bowler has
a chance as he wouldn’t have to
have a high score to win.
squads also are unlimited hut the
proposal to be considered would
restrict them to 38 to 45.
Another matter is division of
the proceeds of television in foot
ball among the conference mem
bers on the same order as Cotton
Bowl receipts. Only a few games
are televised each year and some
schools do not participate.
Use of a fifth official—the back
judge—in football again will bo
considered along with the question
of whether the pre-season confer
ence basketball tournament,'sched
uled this month for the second
year, is to be contineud.
The track meet may be set for
May 15-16, this year instead of
May 8-9 as previously provided.
The purpose is to get it closer to
the NCAA meet and also not to
conflict with the Texas high school
track meet May 8-9.
Whether there will be a discus
sion of conference expansion is not
indicated. The faculty committee,
governing boy of the conference,
in turning down applications by
Texas Tech and Houston last win
ter, passed a resolution that in the
future schools would be admitted
by invitation only. Thus no appli
cation may be made.
Houston is reported to feel it
stands a better chance sifice its fine
football season in which it won
eight out of ten games and won
the Missouri Valley Conference
title.
Coaches meet today and coaches,
athletic directors and business
managers of athletics meet tomor
row.
Manager of MSC Alleys
Geiger Qualifies As
Bowling Instructor
By JERRY ESTES
Battalion Sports Staff
John M. Geiger, manager of the
MSC bowling alleys, recently com
pleted a Joe Wilman bowling
school in Houston, which makes
him one of the most qualified
bowling instructors in this area.
Wilman is recognized by the
state of New York as the top |
bowling instructor in the United
States. He is the only instmetor
credited with teaching certified
bowling recognized by the Texas
Bowling Proprietors Association.
The Wilman school was conduct
ed in only four' locations in the
Southwest. The places were Hous
ton, San Antonio, Dallas, and New
Orleans. Approximately 75 in
structors were graduated from the
school in Houston along with
Geiger.
Being graduated from the bowl
ing school, Geiger is qualified to
teach beginning bowlers, advance
bowlers, group instruction, and un
orthodox bowlers.
After completing four days of
instruction, a test consisting of
one problem and 20 questions was
required to receive the certificate
of graduation. A grade of 85 or;
better was necessaiy to pass, and
Geiger made an exceptionally high
grade.
Men who have gone through
the Wilman school are given a
badge to wear bearing the name
of the school. The badge is valued
highly among bowling instructors.
Geiger came to A&M in 1949
after serving in the armed forces.
He began wmking as a pin hoy in
1950, bowling when he had the
chance. He was a member of the
1949-50 team.
In 1950, the bowling club was
moved to the MSC, and Geiger
was elected president, becoming
the first leader of the club or
ganized under the MSC.
Under Geiger’s guidance, the
team won every match. A full con
stitution also was drawn, up while
he was president.
In 1951, Geiger was appointed
desk clerk, and in May of 1952, he
was promoted to the job of man
ager of the MSC bowling alleys.
Geiger was graduated in 1952
with a degree in Animal Husban
dry. He is married and has a boy,
Malcolm Conrad, age one.
