V A&M Says y Go To Bowl known Source JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Texas A&M’s football team may get permission to play in the Sugar Bowl or Gator Bowl, The Associated Press learned last night. A reliable source, who would not let his name be used, said it is very possible the conference will relax probation for the Aggies so they can go to New Orleans or Jacksonville for a post-season game. On the verge of winning the Southwest Conference title, A&M is on conference probation for re cruiting practices and ineligible to fill the usual champion’s role of host team in the Cotton Bowl at Dallas. That ban will be continued, the source said, but the conference might let the Aggies go to another bowl.

D. Mouzon Jr., president of the Southwest Con ference, said permission had not been given to Texas A&M to play in any bowl game. “If the ban were to he lifted, they could play in the Cotton Bowl,” he said. The Gator Bowl is strong for a match between a Southeastern Con ference team and another strong opponent from outsije the SEC area for its nationally televised game. Butz said prime consideration is being given Georgia Tech, Auburn, Mississippi, Tennessee and Vander bilt in the SEC, Arkansas of the Southwest Conference and two in dependents, Navy and Pittsburgh. There are reports that Navy is virtually lined up for the Cotton Bowl, and if Mississippi wins the SEC title, it probably will be in the Sugar Bowl. That would bring about a game between Georgia Tech and Texas THRU SATURDAY A&M or Ai-kansas or Pitt in the Gator Bowl, depending on which other team went to the Sugar Bowl with Mississippi. Ag Bowl Chances Appear Hopeless Chances for A&M playing in some bowl game this y.ear ap pear hopeless at the present time despite a story issued by the Associated Press to the con trary. It should be noted that the source, however “reliable”, refused to give his name. Dr. E. D. Mouzon, president of the Southwest Conference, re vealed last night that permission had not been given A&M to play in any bowl game. “If the ban were to be lifted, they could play in the Cotton Bowl,” he said. A&M’s representative on the Southwest Conference Faculty Committee, Chris H. Groneman, said last night that A&M “could not play in the Cotton Bowl.” PROBABLE STARTERS Saturday At 1:30 FISH YEARLINGS 4g§§f wt. Name Pos.

Game time is 1:30 in Memorial Stadium. Commenting on the Fish team yesterday Coach Paul Bryant re marked, “I’ve taken a look at ’em this week, and I didn’t like what I saw. As a team they’ve gone back ward instead of improving.” The Aggie freshmen and varsity have at least one thing in common. Both are undefeated/ in conference play and each has a tie to mar its record. As a result, both are atop their respective loops. Texas freshmen would like noth ing better than to spill the Aggie Fish, who by winning Saturday can sew up the Southwest Conference championship. A tie or loss to the Shorthorns would leave the title in doubt with Rice and SMU still in the running. A&M will enter the contest, the final for both teams, as a slight favorite. The Yearlings, although winless thus far, have moved along fast since their opening game loss to the Baylor Cubs, 7-48. They were defeated by the Rice Slimes, 13-20, and the SMU Colts, 13-0, before tying the TCU Wogs, 7-7. The Fish downed TCU, 27-6, Bay lor and Houston by 7-6 scores and played Rice to a.19-19 tie last week. Leading the Fish invasion this weekend will be a pair of ^11-stat ers and two Pennsylvanians in the backfield, with a high school All- American and a great tackle pros pect in the line. Quarterback Jackie Hathorn, all- state tailback from Port Neches, runs the Aggie split-T. Chunky Joe Pascuzzi, Fish leader in five departments, iSid triple threat Luther Hall, who gained all-state honors at Dallas Sunset, are one- two in rushing from their halfbacjc positions. Big John Tracey, an other Quaker state product along with Pascuzzi, made the switch from end to fullback after the Cub game and is currently third : rushing. Don Usry, 200-pound end from Cleburne who was picked on the all-state, all-South and All-Ameri can schoolboy teams, was one of the most sought-after athletes in the nation. Raymond Doucet, al though light for a tackle at 187 pounds, has been a consistent standout in the aggressive Fish forward wall. ★ WESTERNS SHIRTS ★ WESTERN PANTS ★ WESTERN BELTS ALTERATIONS FREE Leon B.
