SWC COMMITTEE—Members of the Southwest Conference Faculty committee have a
laugh as they met in Waco. The members are (left to right) Dr. Delbert Swartz, Ark
ansas; Dr. E. D. Mouzon, SMU; Howard Gru bbs, executive secretary; Dr. H. E. Bray,
Rice. Back row, W. L. Penberthy, A&M; Dr. J. D. Bragg, Baylor; Dr. Gus Hodges,
Texas; and Dr. Henry Hardt, TCU.
Penberthy Party To
Rejection of Tech
A&M’s vote to table the problem
of Texas Tech’s entry into the
Southwest conference until the De
cember meeting of the conference’s
faculty committee was the deciding
one in Waco Saturday.
The faculty committee, which de
cides upon entrance of new mem
bers, turned down Oklahoma and
failed to decide on University of
Houston, whose motion was not
seconded.
A&M Reverses Vote
Dean of Men Walter Penberthy,
A&M’s repi'esentative to the SWC
group, could not be reached for
comment after the meeting, accord
ing to reports. His vote was a
reversal of A&M’s position last
year, at which time the A&M dele
gate voted for Tech.
Reason for the reversal is
thought to be worry on A&M’s
part over recruiting of -West Texas
high school players.
Other conference schools against
allowing Tech to enter were SMU,
Rice and Arkansas. In favor of
admitting Tech were Texas, TCU
and Baylor.
Select Meet Sites
In other business, the confer
ence committee selected the site
of the 1954 cross country meet
(A&M), abolished the half-a-game-
won, half-a-game-lost ruling in
baseball in cases where a playoff
game would have a bearing on the
Conference championship; made
Detroit Agog
Over Williams’
Hatting Show
DETROIT—May YJ— (IP)
Tha city of Detroit—famed
for cars and Ty Cobb—was
still buzzing today over the
wonderous batting exploits of
Ted Williams.
Players, managers, sports writ
ers, the milkman, your neighbor
next door—just about everybody— !
still spoke in awed tones of Wil
liams’ one-man show Sunday in a
double header against the Detroit
Tigers.
Hits Eight for Nine
Playing with a pained shoulder,
the 35-year-old outfielder of the
Boston Red Sox returned to regu
lar duty and lashed out eight hits
in nine times at bat—including two
home runs. He scored three times
and knocked in seven runs.
“That was one of the greatest
shows I have ever seen,” said Wil
liams’ manager, Lou Boudreau.
“With the big guy back in the
lineup, it’s bound to improve mo
rale on this club/’
“The Greatest”
“I’ve never seen anything like
it,” added Red Sox Coach Del
Baker, “and I’ve seen some great
players, including Musial and Di-
Maggio. He’s just the greatest,
that’s all. Anybody who can hit
like that without spring training
has to be the greatest.”

PHILADELPHIA, May 17
(TP)—The St. Louis Cardinals
drove Robin Roberts to cover
tonight with an assortment of
extra base hits, including
three homers, and coasted to a
8-0 win over the Philadelphia Phil

the tune of 8-4.

Joe Presko went the distance for
.the Cards in the regular game,
winning his third without a set
back. Roberts was charged with
the loss, his fourth against the
same number of wins.
Roberts, who hurled a one-hitter
his last time out, didn’t have his
stuff tonight. The first Cardinal
to face him, rookie leftfielder Wal
ly Moon, an Aggie-ex, hit a homer
into the leftfield stands. From
that point on to the fifth, Roberts
looked a little more like the puz
zling righthander he usually is.
In the preliminary carry-over
game, Murray Dickson held the
Cards in check for the three in

a pair of runs to one for the Cards.
In the last eight years five

Nearly Always
Are On Top
The Texas Aggie weights team
has won the Southwest conference
shot put championship 22 of the
last 23 years.
A&M is the only Southwest con
ference school whose shot putters
have ever gone past 50 feet. The
leading weights man this year,
Bobby Gross, has improved nearly
four feet since last year’s SWC
meet. In 1953, Gross put the shot
48-11%. In Waco Satux’day, he
did 52-4.
Two other Aggies turned in out
standing performances at Waco.
They are sophomores Tom Bonor-
den and Harry Cox. As a fresh
man last year, Bonoxden was beat
en by shot men from four other
SWC schools. Not one of those
men has approached him in dis
tance this year. His improvement
has been moi’e than 10 feet.
But the big surprise took place
Saturday in Waco when Cox, a 6-3
sophomore from Vera, pushed the
16-pound ball 47 feet. His
vious best distance was around 32.
Cox’ showing insure^ the Aggies of
at least the first three places next
year.
Another help next year in the
weights will 'he fi’eshxnan Herman
