{ / Battalion Editorials Page 2 THE BATTALION TUESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1955 Texas Christian Repeats Congratulations to Texas Christian uni versity are in order for at least two reasons. Its students not only experienced the sat isfaction of hearing their school announced winner of the 1954 Southwest Conference Sportsmanship trophy during the halftime activities in the Cotton Bowl New Year Day game, they also faced only the chore of en graving their school name under last year’s winner. They should have no trouble with the spelling since Texas Christian university was the 1953 winner. Other conference schools should begin now to mend their conduct fences if they want to ease TCU out of first place, because if the Horned Frogs win again this year, they may try to claim the trophy on a per manent possession basis. A Deathless Holiday Perhaps we harp exceedingly long on safe driving when A&M students leave the cam pus for holidays and other occasions, but we reap the benefits when we can report that no Aggie was killed or seriously injured dur ing the long Christmas holiday period. It only goes to prove that if you drive carefully and sanely, life can last a pretty long time. You might as well stretch it out as long as possible if you’re enjoying it. TCU Wins Trophy Again This Year Texas Christian university,, for the second straight year, was awarded the Southwest Conference Sportsmanship trophy during half time at the Cotton Bowl game Sat urday. Other schools in order of their places are as follows: Rice, second; Southern Metho dist university and Arkansas, tied for third; A&M fifth; Baylor, six th; and University of Texas, sev enth. The trophy was awarded by Fred L. Livingston, Arkansas, president of the Southwest Conference Sportsmanship committee. Win ner of the trophy was announced in a meeting of the committee ear lier Saturday. Committee members arrived in Dallas Dec. 30 for a banquet and show, followed the next day by the Cotton Bowl banquet and student dance at the SMU student union. Purpose of the sportsmanship code is to further good relations between conference schools. It in cludes pre-game, game and post game courtesies, along with team participation. The sportsmanship committee was started seven years ago by Jimmy K. B. Nelson, then co-editor of The Battalion. The first pre sentation was made in Houston in 1948 to SMU.
