Expense Proposal OK’d DALLAS, (A > ) — Athletic direc- tors and football coaches of the Southwest Conference Thursday endorsed an NCAA proposal that would permit the college to pay expenses of a prospective athlete to the campus instead of the alum ni. Under present rules the alumni can pay the expenses of a high school star to the campus but the coach can not participate in any way. The coaches prefer that they be permitted to take from the alumni fund sufficient money to pay the expenses, this as a safeguard against over-zealous alumni mak ing the ante too big.

Coach Ken Loeffler’s five opened their home season with a 69-60 victory over St. Mary’s Monday night. Strangely enough, the home court has been worth about 20 points to the Aggies, who seem to lose their heads on an opponent’s floor. Wednesday in Huntsville the Cadets held a seven-point lead at halftime, only to see it go by the boards as the Bearkats scored with two seconds remaining in a wild second half to win, 59-58. A&M leaves Sunday on a five- game southern swing ending up in Miami, Fla. on Dec. 18. Monday the Aggies play Loyola in New Or leans, battle Mississippi Southern in Hattiesbux-g Wednesday, Flor ida State in Tallahassee Thursday, Georgia Tech a week from tomor row and Miami on the following Tuesday. The Fish opened with a loss to Allen Academy, 60-58, and will start Wayne Lawrence at center, Dave Corson and Jim Anderson at forwards with Bill Edge and Tom Wallace at the guards tonight. Loeffler will probably start Neil Swisher, Jack Schwake, Jim Mc- Nichol, George Mehaffey and Ken Hutto against Trinity. The Bat fa lion College Station (Brazos County), Texas Friday, December 7, 1956 PAGE 3 America Concedes Olympics to Russia MELBOURNE, UP) — Russian athletes grabbed 12 first places ,at the Melbourne Olympics yesterday, and moved far ahead of the United States and all other nations in the unofficial points table. ’ American officials conceded to the Soviets “gi*eater depth” after Russia’s gymnastic precisionists and muscle men of the mat un leashed a landslide of gold medal triumphs which sent them into an insurmountable point lead in both the American and European count ing systems. One American official who de clined the use of his name said: “We manage to do all right in things like track and field where performances are clocked and measured, and in basketball where points are counted, but put us in sports where decisions are left to the opinion of judges and w r e take a lacing. They say ‘So here are the great Yanks. We will show them.’ ” The Russians won seven gold medals in men’s gymnastics and five in wrestling for their biggest day of the games while America’s 36-year-old domination of the men’s high diving board was broken by Mexico’s Joaquin Ca- pilla. The diving result provoked strong protest from Karl Michael, U. S. diving coach, who criticized the judging of Hungarian and Rus sian scorekeepers at the water side. This was just one of the out bursts during a day marked by rancor and disputes. At West Melbourne Stadium where Russian gymnasts rallied to beat out the gifted Japanese for top honors, Tom Maloney, an American judge from the U. S. Military Academy at West Point, N. Y., said: “The Japanese got a real fleecing. I never saw such unfair judging. To my mind the Japanese are the best gymnasts in the world.” STANDINGS Russia United States Australia Germany 69014 5581/4 2491/4 206 Hungary 187 Britain Italy 170% 168 Sweden 153 Japan ............ 132 France Romania 101% 98 “ Finland Czechoslovakia .... , 91% 69% Poland 67 ~ Turkey 55 Iran 48 Canada 47 FRIDAY EMLrUiil 1 I JOANNE DRU • P£TER RKCH| 'Warriors CINEmascopE 8 — A L S O — added attraction SOJJW- 'NViX THE SOUTHWEST COOTEREHttl 1 TOC BACKS IN THEIR MOSTl [ ElECTRIFYING PERFORMANCES 1 1 * BOBBY LAYNC . . .
