SWC Begins Forty-Seventh
Football Season Next Month
By HAROLD RATLIFF
Associated Press Sports Writer
The Southwest Conference be
gins its forty-seventh football sea
son next month with prospects of a
great race and the opportunity to
make a strong national showing.
The league didn’t do too well last
fall except that it had a close and
exciting campaign for the cham
pionship and drew its largest at
tendance in history. Intersection-
ally, the record was 11-9-1, with
losses to most of the big ones.
Victories over Louisiana State,
Florida and Oklahoma were of
most importance but the confer
ence couldn’t handle Georgia Tech,
Missouri, Ohio State, Navy, Kan
sas, Mississippi and'Nebraska and
got only a tie with Pittsburgh.
This year Mississippi, Louisiana,
Kansas, Pitt, Georgia Tech, Flori
da and Ohio State again are on
the schedule and the conference
appears in better shape to win
them than last year.
The league never has been the
national leader except in a five-
year pex-iod of the 1930’s. In that
time—1935 to 1939—there were
three national champions: South
ern Methodist in 1935, Texas Chris
tian in 1938 and Texas A&M in
1939.
The conference was organized in
1914 as a means of combatting
professionalism and getting rid of
the tramp athlete. The colleges
then were banded under the Texas
Intercollegiate Association, which
had no transfer rule and allowed
freshmen to play varsity football.
A fellow just moved in and played
immediately no matter where he
had been before.
Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma
k & M, Southwestern, Arkansas,
Baylor and Rice were the original
members. S o ut h e r n Methodist
came in in 1917, Phillips was a
member for a short period. Okla
homa and Southwestern soon quit
and Oklahoma A&M gave it up in
1925. Texas Christian entered the
league in 1923 and it was 1956 be
fore there were more than seven
members. Texas Tech was taken
in that year.
The conference took 20 years to
climb into the national picture but
it should have been sooner. It was
1929 before the league got a man
recognized All-America and 1935
before it could boast of a concen
sus selection. However, in 1927 it
had Joel Hunt and Rags Matthews
and they should have been on the
All-America. They just weren’t
recognized in time. They had to
go out and play in the East-West
game before anybody noticed
them.
The great showing of Hunt and
Matthews should have tipped the
other sections of the country off to
the fact that the Southwest had
good football players as anybody.
But the outsiders apparently
thought it was a fluke or some
thing.
There have been three seasons
when no champion was declared—
1916, 1918 and 1933. Actually,
there never appeared any reason
for not naming a champion in
1916. Texas that season beat
Southern Methodist, Oklahoma
A&M, Oklahoma, Arkansas, South-
Football fans may now start
making application for tickets to
the third annual Bluebonnet Bowl
post-season grid classic to be held
Saturday afternoon, December 16,
at Rice Stadium in Houston.
The sale of tickets for the' Blue
bonnet Bowl is being handled this
year for the first time by the Rice
Athletic Association. Ticket infor
mation may be obtained by mail
(Post Office Box 1892), by phon
ing JAckson 6-1161, or coming by
the office in person at Rice Gym.
Application forms are currently
being processed for mailing to fans
who purchased tickets by mail for
the 1959 and 1960 games, and have
a pi'iority until September 15 to
exercise their option to buy tick
ets in the same location, relates
Rice Athletic Business Manager,
Emmett Bxuxnson.
westex-n and Texas A&M and lost
to Baylor. Its 5-1 record was the
best in the league.
In 1918 there was no champion
because so many players were in
the service—it was World War I.
In 1933 Arkansas won the cham
pionship on the field but lost it in
the committee room. Ulysses Sch-
lueter played 10 minutes against
Texas Christian, Baylor and Rice
and he was found to have played
at Nebx-aska before coming to Ar
kansas. So he was ineligible and
Arkansas’ title was forfeited.
Baylor is credited with the cham
pionship in 1915—the first year of
the conference. But that was the
season a fellow named Thomas M.
Stonerod was the Baylor quarter
back. He was found to have played
at Carnegie Tech in 1912. While
there was no resident or graduate
i-ule there was a transfer xmle, so
Stonerod was ineligible. Baylor
forfeited the championship but this
fact is not carried in the records
of the conference and today Bay
lor is listed as 1915 champion.
All other applications will be
stamped on receipt and will be
filled in the order received for the
best seats available and to fill in
where former ticket holders do not
apply.
Grandstand seats for the 1961
game will be $5.50 each, while end
zone reserved seats are $2.50 each.
Across-the-counter sales will not
begin until fall, and af£er all early
mail applications have been filled.
One of the nation’s top major
bowl games, the “success story” of
the young Bluebonnet Bowl has
been phenomenal. Some 55,000
saw Clemson beat T.C.U. (South
west Conference co-championship
team) in the inaugural game of
1959, and a virtual sellout in the
70,000 seat Rice Stadium saw pow
erful Texas and Alabama in a dy
namic struggle last December.
