f
Aggie Probation Ends
SWC Pins on New Rap
By JIM CARRELL
Today for the first time in two
long years, A&M finds itself with
out the yoke of either NCAA or
Southwest Conference athletic pro
bation, but finds itself falling on
hard times again, this time with
the blame being shifted from foot
ball to basketball.
A SWC athletic probation period
for football recruiting violations,
dropped by the conference last
May, but continued to its entirety
by the NCAA, at last comes to an
end.
However, as it ends, another
cloud rises on the horizon of
Aggie hopes. The SWC in a
meeting in Austin brought up
changes of new violations,
these against basketball and
A&M finds itself once more in
an unhappy position.
On this occasion, in another ap
parent case of passing the buck,
the SWC faculty committee refer
red the latest recruiting problems
of A&M to the president of the
college for his action.
President D. W. Williams of
Texas A&M College, yesterday
stated, “I have received no official
communication from the confer
ence. All I know so far is what
I have been able to read in the
newspapers.”
“I have not met with the
Athletic Council and I have no
idea what action will be
taken,” he continued. “I will
not speculate and can’t pos
sibly say at this time.”
When asked whether he had met
or talked with Coach Ken Loeffler,
Williams replied in the affirmative,
but also said, “We arrived at no
decision.”
However, Williams said he would
“reach a decision prior to the meet
ing of the NCAA on May 31 in
Chicago.” It is expected a decision
will be reached within the next
two or three days.
These most recent rules viola
tions by A&M have been levied at
Basketball Coach Ken Loeffler and
are three in number.
The charge is violation of a rule
prohibiting the tryout of prospec
tive athletes. Secondly, violation of
a rule prohibiting excessive fin
ancial aid to student athletes and
that there were two violations in
this instance. One for transporta
tion of a prospective student from
Pawtuckett, R. I., to College Sta
tion to enroll in A&M and the
other, the provision of a roundtrip
airline ticket for a basketball play
er by a representative of A&M.
The third violation charged was
that of “lavish entertainment” of
prospective students.
The executive secretary of
the SWC was directed to call
to the attention of President
Williams of A&M these find
ings and that he report thro
ugh his faculty representative
to the next meeting of the
conference the corrective or
disciplinary action he has
taken or his reasons for not
taking any action.
Dr. Chris H. Groneman, A&M
faculty representative to the SWC
and chairman of the A&M athletic
council, said yesterday that he had
talked with Coach Loeffler since
coming back from Austin.
On being questioned as to what
took place in the conversation be
tween him and Loeffler, Dr. Grone
man replied, “We discussed the
meeting in Austin and the proceed
ings that took place.” Coach
Loeffler was in Austin at the time
but was in another meeting.
Dr. Groneman also denied
the authenticity of and labeled
as incorrect a statement made
by one of the state’s leading
dailies that “the Athletic
Council met recently and de
cided to buy up the remaining
year of his (Loeffler) con
tract.” The newspaper also
stated that Coach Paul Bryant,
A&M athletic director, refused
to approve such action, saying
that Loeffler was still coach.
However, a reliable source in
athletic circles at A&M yesterday
maintained the truth of this state
ment, saying that he had himself
heard of this decision made
by the Council.
The SWC in passing up the
issue at hand for the time being
also gave the NCAA first chance
to take punitive action for A&M’s
violation of SWC rules.
Previously the SWC had removed
the probation which they ^-hud
placed against the school after the
NCAA had taken a similar position.
Then the NCAA in Decem
ber refused to lift their proba
tion when a motion to do so
was made by Dr. Edwin D.
Motizon, Jr, of SMU and died
for lack of second.

Texas Wins SWC Titles
Smallwood Leaps
To New Record
By J. BARRY HART
Emmett Smallwood and Herman Johnson produced the
only Aggie firsts as the Texas teams swept both ends of the
1957 Southwest Conference track and field extravaganza
Friday and Saturday in Austin.
Smallwood, the Galena Park junior who had been in
jured most of the season, leaped 25-1% in the broadjump to
erase the oldest mark in the books. The previous record,
24-9%, was set in 1922 by Rice’s Mike Hale.
Johnson came within a foot of Darrow Hooper’s discus
record—throwing a fine 169 feet. The Aggie senior also
captured second in the shot put behind Baylor’s Larry
Cowart.

Winton Thomas and Texas’
John Novey tied for the pole
vault title for the second
straight year at 13-6 with
A&M’s James Clark right on
the heels up a new point total
high with 114 5/6, erasing the old
mark set by A&M in 1951—114
with the Aggies taking a poor
second at 39. The Shorthorns won
the freshmen division, edging Tex
as Tech by three points. The Ag
gie Fish were sixth.
SMU’s Don Stewart leaped
6-10 7/8 in the high jump, 3/8
of an inch higher than A&M’s
Walt Davis jumped in 1952.
Smallwood took second behind
Roy Thompson, Rice, who ran a
fine 22.6 in the 220-yard low
hurdles and Eddie Bussa finished
behind SMU’s John Emmett in the
quarter mile.
