THE BATTALION
Writer Raps Athletic Transfers
After Frosh Year at School
BY HAROLD V. RATCLIFF
Associated Press Sports Editor
The battle of the Texans is
schedueld Saturday in the Cotton
3owl. Officially it’s Texas vs.
Oklahoma but Oklahoma has so
many Texas boys on its squad
you might as well call it Texas
vs. fexas.
Ccjach Bud Wilkinson of Okla
homa has said he couldn’t get
along without the Texas boys.
Southwest Conference schools,
however, wish he would at least
try. And a few showings like
Oklahoma made against North
western might convince Wilkinson
that he ought to.
The University of Texas seldom
has a boy from out of state on
its team. This year there are none.
But there’s only one other mem
ber of the conference that can
make that same claim—Rice.
You’ll find California, Oklahoma,
Washington, Arkansas, Wyoming,
Mississippi, Missouri, Maryland,
Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Alabama,
Wisconsin, South Dakota, Ken
tucky and New Mexico represent
ed on the rosters of the other mem
bers of the league.
Arkansas doesn’t confine itself
to boys from its own state either.
For instance, there are athletes
from Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma,
Wyoming, Missouri and Mississip
pi on the Arkansas squad this
year. There should be no objection
to Arkansas getting Texas boys,
however, because Texas is South
west Conference territory.
But since Southwest Conference
schools go into other states for
their athletes they shouldn’t criti
cize Oklahoma for coming into
Texas. There is, however, a- legiti
mate way to cut down on Okla
homa snaring Texas athletes —
beat Oklahoma enough that it
won’t be so attractive for the boys.
Most of them who go to Oklahoma
do it because of the Sooners’ great
winning record.
Texas took a step in the right
direction when it beat Oklahoma
last year. Now that the Sooners
also have taken a humiliating beat
ing from Northwestern, the Tex
ans’ journeys into Oklahoma
should be trimmed down. Boys
don’t want to play on a team that
gets beat by big margins.
While there’s no rule penalizing
boys who transfer from Southwest
Conference schools to colleges in
other areas, there\ ought to be. It
is obviously unfair for a South
west Conference school to bring in
a boy and pay his expenses under
an athletic scholarship while a
freshman and then have him trans-

fer to some college in another
state. The other college is getting
a boy already developed for varsi
ty play at the expense of the
Southwest Conference school.
More unfair than that is for
the boy to have a year of laying
out under the transfer rule at the
expense of the school to which he
transfers and then have three
varsity seasons. In other words,
the boy hasn’t been penalized any
thing for jumping his chosen school
and going to another college—in
fact, he has benefited. He gets
another year to further develop
himself as a football player, then
as much varsity time as he would
have had at the Southwest Con
ference school.

By BOB
Jones Ramsey, the Aggie’s
Sports Publicity Director who
feels more at home on the road
than in a house, traveled to Hous
ton Tuesday to speak to the A&M
club there.
The way the program turned
out he followed the University of
Houston coach, Hal Lahar, up on
to the speaker’s platform.
Lahar waved a sheaf of statis
tics during his speech on the
Cougar team saying statistics don’t
lie, and proceeded to prove by use
of them how his Houston team
won or lost.
Ramsey’s turn to speak came
and he strode to the platform,
turned and looked at Hal, and
said, “Maybe statistics don’t lie
for your team, Hal, but they sure
do for the Aggies.” It brought
down the house.
What Ramsey was talking about
could have been the pi-evious two
games the Farmers won. Each
team they played outrushed them,
made more first downs and threw
many more passes. The Cadets
won only one battle of statistics
. . . they were on the big end of
the score.
In their first game of the year
things were just the other way
around. The Aggies won every
thing against Texas Tech but lost
the game. The answer lies in that
Tech made the big plays when
they counted the most.

Aggies in their last two victories.
They made the big play when it
counted the most, and it hasn’t
been just one individual coming
up with that big play in each
game. Bob Phillips knocked down
several passes. Randy Sims made
a field goal attempt good. Allen
Goehring recovered a fumble.
They are all big plays that could,
or did, lead to victory.
What the Aggies need now is
each man trying for that big play
every minute he is in the game.
A concerted effort that lifts the
whole team above their playing
level.
★ ★ ★
Thursday night at 7:30 the first
home football game of the year
rolls around. The A&M freshmen
tackle the TCU Wogs, with the
young Aggies rated a seven to ten
point favorite.
It doesn’t cost an Aggie a dime
to see the Frosh play. All you need
to do is bring your identification
card along and walk right in to
your seat on the 50 yard line.
Last year 300 students at the
most found their way to Kyle
Field to watch the Frosh play in
any one game. A turnout like that
is a disappointment to both the
team and the coach.
Two hours away from the study
table won’t cause an “F” in any
one course. Take the time out to
watch these future Aggie greats
play.

Paul Brookshire, Sport Editor
of The Bryan Daily Eagle, proposes
in his daily column that Bryan and
College Station jpin forces in hon
oring Wally Moon with a dinner.
Moon is the former Aggie great
now playing with the Los Angeles
Dodgers.
Brookshire offers these perti
nent statistics on Moon and why
he should be honored with a din
ner.
Moon batted .302 in 145 games
and was ranked 19th among Nati
onal League hitters. He had 19
home runs and 11 triples while
committing only four errors all
year long.
The native Texan now makes his
home in Bryan.
Word came today from James
O’Connell, secretary of the Brazos
A&M Club, that his organization
had decided to sponsor that dinner.
A great many Aggies, foriper and
present, should be on hand to
honor the great Dodger Athlete.
