THE BATTALION
Thursday, February
Council Decitled?
Mike Ready
If Offered It
Ky JIM ASH LOCK
Assistant Sports Editor
Today we see the first strong indication that after long
weeks of squabbling, bickering, bad publicity and a generally
fouled up situation, the athletic council and board of directors
might agree on a man for A&M’s head coach vacancy.
This morning the athletic council holed itself up in an
other of its closed sessions, the doors clanging shut at 10
a.m. Yesterday afternoon the system information office
announced that a meeting of the board of directors had 'been
called for 2 p.m. today.
That is a fair indication that the recommendation of
the athletic council is already decided, and the board is wast
ing no time in making a decision on it. Whatever the decis
ion will be, it should be announced before the day is over.
Mike Michalske is the only
candidate remaining from an
original list of 45 > for -the Aggie
coaching job. Reports have it that
Mike has been O.K.’d by the
athletic council on two occassions,
but that the directors, the group
with the final say, have turned
him down both times.
Yesterday it was implied over a
Dallas radio station that Kentucky
coach Paul (Bear) Bryant is a fop
contender for the job. Just how he
stands in the race, isn’t known for
sure.
Asked yesterday how he felt
about the whole situation, Mi
chalske said, “I should feel
hurt, but I don’t.” He said that
the council has been “very de
cent and considerate with me,
and our relations have been on
the best of terms. I’ve already
been before them two times
and have told them everything
they might w ant to know about
me. I don’t expect to be inter
viewed in tomorrow’s (today’s) ■
meeting.”
Concerning the contract that will
be involved if he gets the job,
Michalske said that “it will be a
longer contract than the ones
customarily awarded coaches here
in the past. Maybe a three or four
year deal.”
Boring May Start at Guard
Before Home Town Fans
Guard Joe Boring has improved i said Coach John Floyd yesterday,
so much within the last few weeks Boring will replace either Joe
that he probably will start against Hardgrove or Pat McCrory. He was

Varsity Swimmers
Lose Two in Florida
Michalske Has ‘Open Mind’
“I have an open mind toward the situation,” said Michal
ske when asked if he would stay on as line coach should some
other candidate receive the head post. ’Tve been approached
by representatives of other schools, but all before Coach
George resigned. I’m still under an A&M contract and have
no plans for leaving, regardless of the decision reached by
the council and board.”
As to his opinion of Barlow (Bones) Irvin as an athletic
director, Michalske said he wasn’t sure just how one would
define a “good’’ athletic director.
“If his. job is to get the athletic department out of the
red financially, then he lias done an exceptionally fine job.
I’ve never known definitely just what all is involved in the
athletic director’s job. One thing ‘is certain, and you can
quote me on it—My relationship with Mr. Irvin lias been
wonderful, and we’ve always understood one another per
fectly.”
‘I’m Not Mad’
Mike Michalske
The A&M varsity swimming
team lost to Florida State, 51-33,
in Tallahassee Tuesday night, after
a 56-28 loss to the University of
Florida in Gainesville Monday.
Last week the Cadets outpoint
ed Georgia Tech and Emory uni-
versity in Georgia.
Aggie Don Horne won the 100
yard freestyle in both Florida
meets, covering the distance in
55.3 seconds at Gainesville. The
only other event A&M won against
Florida State was the 400 yard
freestyle relay.
Gayle Kipple won the 150 yard
individual medley and the 440 yard
freestyle in the University of
Florida meet. He also won the
medley in the Georgia Tech and
Emory meets and the freestyle
against Tech.
Florida State won 8 of the 10
events and set new pool records in
the 220 yard backstroke and the
200 yard breaststroke.

las Sunset. Floyd will start John
Fortenberry and James Addison at
forwards and Roy Martin at cen
ter. Martin worked out yesterday
with a leg bruise but is expected to
be ready for the Mustangs.
Harry Hearne, 6-7 sophomore
center who recently joined the
team, has been showing lots of im
provement over his performances
on last season’s freshman team,
said Floyd.
Tuesday night the Mustangs
were virtually eliminated from
SWC title contention by Texas. The
loss gives SMU a 2-3 conference
record and a 9-6 season record.
SMU will take a 75.5 per game
scoring average into the contest,
considerably higher than the Ag
gie average of 51.4 And the Mus
tangs have four top-notch scoring
aces in Derrell Murphy, Ronnie
Morris, Art Barnes and Tom
Miller.
The Aggies will be making their
sixth try for their first conference
victory.
A&M’s Fish will meet Allen
Academy in Bryan Friday night.
The Freshmen beat the Ramblers
earlier in the season in DeWare
field house.
Asked for an opionion on the
way in which A&M’s athletic
program is conducted, Michal
ske said, “I’m not mad. Thais .
one thing a coach learns early
in this business.” To this state
ment he added the words now
famuos around the athletic de
partment: “I am not dis-
QUEEN
NOW SHOWING
satisfied in any way, and have
no complaints or gripes.”
, \
Michalske expressed no doubt
that evidently there are those on
the athletic council who oppose his
being recommended for the head
coach job. He says, however, that
he does not know who these in-
>dividuals are, and that apparently
those favoring him are in the
majority, since it is now public
knowledge that he has twice been
recommended by the council.
From this indication, only the
board of directors stands in the
way of his landing the job.
Whether they will back down and
accept Michalske if he is again
recommended by the council is noT
known, but so far as is evident at
present, the ‘directors still want a
big name coach.
• If the board again refuses the
athletic council’s recommendation,
then the resulting fireworks will
probably rock the MSC right off
its foundation. The council and
nearly everyone else intersted in
the situation wants a -coach right
now, be he Earl Blaik of Army or
“Weepy” Jones of Yippy-Hoopy U.
