On the play, however, Syracuse was detected running into or roughing the kicker and was penalized 15 yards. Notre Dame, although time had run out, was given another play and kicked the field goal for a 17-15 victory. Controversy has raged ever since over whether the call was according to the rules. Dave Nelson, University of Del aware coach; and Elwood Geiges, a former official and member of the NCAA liules Committee, were assigned to adjust the rule. Geiges and Nelson said they amended the rule to allow a pen alty and another play—extension of the game—in such situations. In the same situation, however, if Syracuse led and had the ball and committed a foul, the period would not be extended. Ex-Houston Coach Returns To Colgate HAMILTON, N. Y.

FREE PARKING TA 2-0139 - TA 2-0130 THE BATTALION Thursday, February 15, 1962 College Station, Texas Prairie V lew Leads AP Poll By The Associated Press Pi’airie View of Texas and Grambling of Louisiana ran one- two in this week’s Associated Press small college basketball poll, but there are likely to be some changes made. Prairie View clung to its lead despite a loss Saturday night to Southern University and another Monday night to Jackson (Miss.) State to put its record at 15-2. However, the voting by a regional board of eight selectors was based on games through Saturday. Grambling, tied for second last week, won two games and took over undisputed possession of the runner-up spot. But Grambling suffered a setback this week when six players, including Albert John son, were cut from the team Tues day due to scholastic deficiencies. Hofstra of New York and Ken tucky Wesleyan gained the most ground in the poll. Hofstra climbed from fifth to third and Kentucky Wesleyan advanced two notches to fourth.

After the Red Raiders had won some 20 straight games at home, they now have a losing streak there. TCU’s Horned Frogs broke the jinx on Feb. 6 and the Mustangs did it on Feb. 13. , J ... . Now three teams are tied for the top position m the SWC (SMU, A&M and Tech with 6-3 records) and its any one’s guess who is going to come out with the title flag. It may seem that SMU has the upper hand on the Raiders and the Aggies. With only five games remaining on schedule, the Ponies have three of them in Dallas—against Rice, 1CU and Arkansas. „ „ ^ , „ ., „ Out of the five contests left on tap for the Red Raiders, only two are in friendly-Lubbock Coliseum. Tech plays the Arkansas Razorbacks in West Texas on Feb. 17 and its home schedule is over on Feb. 27 when the Aggies come to town. Three of the Aggies’ remaining five games will be in G. Rollie White Coliseum—TCU, Arkansas and Baylor. The two on the road are of course, Tech and the rugged Rice Owls in Houston. ' ■ ■ 'it Since the semester break, A&M’s Carroll Broussard has been his old self. The Aggies have played four SWC games since the spring term started—against TCU, Rice, SMU and Texas—and Broussard has scored 87 points for a 21.7 av- "^Not only has his point production been up, but Carroll has been clearing the boards much more often. It is Tather obvious that he has shaken the chronic back injury that bothered him during the first part of the season. Out of the 19 games the Aggies have played thus tar this season, Broussard has been the leading team scorer nine times and has been A&M’s top rebounder eight times. Broussard is still very much behind his 1960-61 season when he scored 538 points for the season and 339 in SWC play. So far this season, Broussard has dropped 325 points through the hoop in season competition and 153 in the South west Conference games. / Despite his decrease in scoring this winter, Broussard continues to break his own school record for scoring witll every point he makes. Dick Hickerson, the Aggies’ star first baseman for the> 1961 season who signed a professional contract after ful filling his collegiate competition, is back in College Station and is awaiting the start of spring training. Dick inked with the Baltimore Orioles and played with the club’s team in Arizona this past fall in the Arizona In structional League. He was eighth in the league in hitting as he averaged .331. He will report to training in a few days and everyone is wishing Dick well.
