The 18-man NCAA Advisory
Council also ’Slapped a one-year
probation on Gustavus Adolphus
College of St. Peter, Minn., for
playing in a noncertified post-
seqson football game last year.
Walt Byers, executive director
of the NCAA, explained the Cin
cinnati probation will not keep its
athletic teams out of postseason
events or NCAA championships.
The council ordered Cincinnati
to make an adjustment in its stu
dent-athlete financial aid setup
and report in October. Byers said
the Council then can either lift
the probation if the report is satis
factory or impose stringent penal
ties if corrections are not made.
Byers said the problem arose
when Cincinnati gave 13 football
and basketball players grant-in-
aid financial asistance which to
gether with their on-the-job sal
aries put them over the NCAA-
allowed limit.
All-America Oscar Robertson,
the nation’s leading basketball
scorer last season, was not in
volved, Byers said.
The Council’s action yesterday
left 12 cases still pending for pos
sible penalty. Byers did not com
ment on the remaining cases.

Longhorns Hold
As Conference Relays Near
By BOB WEEKLEY
Battalion Sports Editor
New records could be chalked up
right and left next weekend when
the Southwest Conference track
and field teams gather at College
Station for the annual SWC meet.
Defending champion Texas again
is almost a sure thing to gather
in the honors, but the race is ex
pected to be a bit tighter with Rice
and SMU pushing the Longhorns
for the finish line.
The Steers finished first last
year with 91 points followed by
SMU with 47 and Baylor with
3414. The Aggies finished sixth
in a field of seven with a meagre
15 points. Eddie Southern, the
Texas flash, will again return to
pace the Longhorns in their bid
for the title. Southern was high
point man in 1958 with 15 points.
If the present season marks are
any indication of what to expect
May 8-9, five new records will be
set. Best bets are in the 190-yard
dash, 449-yard dash, mile run, two-
mile run, and the mile relay.
Texas’ Hollis Gainey has turned
in a 9.4 effort in the 190, one-tenth
of a second better than the old
record set in 1940 without any
wind. A 9.2 has been turned in as
late as 1956, but there wais over
a 10 m.p.h. wind pushing the ath
lete. Arkansas’ Terry Ai'ehz and
Bill Hollis of Baylor are Gainey’s
nearest competitors in this event
with identical times of 9.6.
Little Joe Villarreal of Texas
could break his mile mark set in
1957 of 4:10.5 with any luck. The
short-legged senior has posted a
4:10 this year and is reported in
excellent shape, A&M’s Richard
Hickman is rated fourth in this
event with a time of 4:27.7.
The 440-yard dash could be the
most exciting event of the day
when Southern toes the marks for
Charlie Thomas Never Lost
A College 200-Yard Race
the start in this grueling dash. The
old record of 46.9 was set in 1950
and Southern has equalled this
time easily this year. Expected to
push the Steer is Rice’s John Em
mett whose best time has not been
reported as yet.
Sweden’s Jan Ahlberg, running
for SMU, is the big gun in the
two-mile run with a timing of
9:09.0 this year, almost a cinch to
beat the old record of 9:24.4 set
in 1951. No one is close to Ahl-
erg in this event.
Texas could set a new mark in
■e mile relay, bet'ering their time
of 3:11.6 set last year. The iden
tical crew returns this year with
the exception of Holt, who grad
uated. Gainey will run in his place
along with Southern, Wally Wil
son, and Drew Dunlap. Their best

was an All-American sprinter at
Texas and one of the nation’s top
small college coaches at East Tex

Southwest Conference 220-yard

champion in 1954.
A native of Fosteria, Tex., Thom

high schools. In eight years of
running track the speedy Thomas
wms beaten only twice in the 220-
yard dash. Both times were in the
high school division of the Border
Olympics.
An All-American sprinter both
in high school, NCAA and AAU,
Thomas ran on the Texas sprint
relay team in 1954 which tied the
existing world record of :40.5. He
also ran on the winning 400-meter
relay team in the Pan American
Games at Mexico City in 1955.
P’dlowing his freshman year at
Texas, in the summer of 1951,
Thomas toured Europe with an
AAU team running in Scotland,
Ireland and England. He also
helped stage a track clinic at Puer
to Rico in 1953.

Conference titles before coming to
A&M, and placed high in the NAIA
meet each time.
