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.
