The Battalion College Station (Brazos County), Texas
Conference Plans No Action
In Aggie Basketball Incident
DALLAS (A 5 )—Ab Curtis, assist
ant secretary of the Southwest
Conference, said yesterday the con
ference plans to take no action
on an incident at College Station
Tuesday when Texas A&M basket
ball fans bombarded officials and
players with trash and swai’med
onto the floor.
Don Rossi, one of the officials
for the A&M-TCU game, visited
Curtis yesterday to report infor
mally on what happened.
“Rossi said it was a wild scene,”
Curtis said. “But we don’t do any
thing unless we get an official pro
test. The school itself generally
takes corrective steps through its
student leaders.”
The incident began with about
four minutes remaining in the
game and with TCU leading by
more than 20 points.
TCU’s Kenneth King was ejected
for landing an elbow uppercut on
A&M’s Jack Collier.
Then Collier and TCU’s Ronnie
Stevenson exchanged words and
staged a brief scuffle.
A crowd of Aggies rushed onto
the floor and was met by A&M
coach Bob Rogers and the A&M

“The fans were going after the
officials,” Rogers said today, “but
we held them off. I shouted for
the people to get back into the
stands and they did.
“I don’t know whether we owe
anybody an apology. If we do, I
guess we’ll apologize. But I don’t
think anybody has a complaint.
I’ve seen lots worse happen on a
basketball court.”
TCU coach Buster Brannon said
“that kind of thing happens. I’d
rather forget about it and think
about our next game.”
A shower of paper cups and pa
per airplanes had fallen around the
players during most of the game,
which TCU won 76-64.

al infielder, was brought up from
Rochester this season. He had bat

Class A handball is coming to a

V Chemical game for the cham
pionship.
In the quarterfinals in Class A
footbball yesterday, A Ordinance

neet A Ordnance in the semifinals
today.
In the other bracket, A Athletics
took a 16-15 squeaker from A In
fantry. The athletes scoi'ed extx-a
points after each touchdown. The
teams were fairly even on penetra
tions. Squadron 17 will meet A
Athletics today, since they took a
12-0 victory over C Field yester
day. The field artillery team had
no penetrations while the “ground-
pounders” racked up eight.

Slater Martin Uninterested
In Longhorn Coaching Post
AUSTIN UP)—Slater Martin,
University of Texas basketball
star a decade ago, said yesterday
he was not interested in becoming
head basketball coach at his alma
mater.
“Take my name off the list be
cause I’m not interested now,”
Martin said from Philadelphia, Pa.,
in' a telephone interview with the
Austin American. “It’s just a lit
tle too early yet. Maybe in a coup
le of years it might change.”
Martin said he wired Texas, Ath
letic Director Ed Olle not to con
sider him as a successor to Mar
shall Hughes.
Hughes, 41, announced his re
signation last month. The Long
horns are in the midst of one of
their worst basketball seasons.
Martin’s refusal was the second
time he has turned down a job
with Texas. He was offered the
freshman coaching job three years
ago when Hughes moved up to
coach the varsity, the Austin Am
erican said.
Olle said he did not know about
Martin’s decision.
“We aren’t close to the stage of
hiring a coach yet.” he said.
Martin was reportedly boomed
for the job by exes because of his
star playing in the Southwest Con-
Maryland and Virginia con
tributed the 100 square miles to
form the District of Columbia on
which to locate the national seat
of government.

PORT SLANT
By BOB WEEKLEY
s
A&M Saturday night will host the Bear basketball team
and any members of the Baylor student body that might
travel to Aggieland to back their team.
For two consecutive years Aggies have traveled to Waco
to stand up for their team as the 12th Man and returned
from the parochial school with tattered clothes and bruised
pride.
But act like real Aggies Saturday, Ags! Yesterday the
Southwest Conference announced it plans to take no action
on the incident that occured in the final minutes of the TCU-
A&M game Tuesday. In handing down the statement Abe
Curtis, assistant secretary of the conference said:
“We (the conference) don’t do anything in these cases
unless we get an official protest. The school itself generally
takes corrective steps through its student leaders.”
A&M is lucky that such a soft-spoken verdict was handed
down. If the officials had been mobbed it is entirely possible
that the school could have been placed on some type of pro
bation which could have severely hampered the school’s athle
tic program.
The school is also lucky that numerous technical fouls
were not called on the home team because of the cup throw
ing and name calling that took place during the game.
Not only do such actions as this hurt the basketball
team, but it also damages the reputation of the school and
its students. It takes only one incident caused by some un
thinking student to damn the school for years.
Schools that have resorted to physical violence during
athletic contests have been heavily censored by the press in
the past. People over the state have taken notice of this
and the schools concerned have been hurt in both enrollment
and their public relations.
There has not been an incident of this type at A&M
for years and there will not be one this year. Aggies will
prove they are men and act like tradition has dictated in the
past.
Revenge will have to come on someone else’s home
grounds.
