George Tedford
George Tedford, junior sprinter from Shreveport, La., will
be carrying even more of the load now that A&M’s ace
quartermiler R. E. Merritt has come down with infectious
mononucleosis. Tedford will run on sprint relay, mile relay
and 440-yard relay at the San Angelo Relays this Saturday.'
He ran a fine 49.0 off the blocks at the Abilene cinder meet
last weekend.

Texas Needs New Conference
By HAROLD V. RATLIFF
Associated Press Sports Writer
Hardin-Simmons isn’t going to
de-emphasize football. All that talk
about doing away with athletic
scholarships has died down. The
alumni moved in and helped the
athletic program right itself. So
Hardin-Simmons will be playing
a major schedule again come fall.
Which brings up the question
of a new conference that will take
in the schools that need such an
alliance in order to get football
on a paying basis.
There appears little doubt but
that the Border Conference, of
which Hardin-Simmons is a mem
ber, will break up finally at the
spring meeting in May. There now
are only three members of the lea
gue — Hardin-Simmons, Texas
Western and West Texas State.
Arizona State University and New
Mexico State are leaving with the
windup of spring sports. Arizona
quit last year.
So what’s to stand in the way
of a brand new conference taking
in Hardin-Simmons, West Texas
State, Texas Western, Arlington
State, Trinity, Tarleton State
(which reaches foui;-year status
next year), Abilene Christian and
possibly Lamar Tech.
Lamar Tech already has been
suspended by the NAIA and may
get the same treatment from the
Lone Star Conference. It’s all be
cause Lamar Tech went to the
NCAA basketball playoffs instead
of the NAIA.
Lamar Tech is a big school with
an outstanding athletic program.
It could enter the new conference
to its advantage and the advantage
of the other schools that might
come into the proposed league.
Nothing officially has been done
about such a conference but there
are quite a few people who want
Red Schoendienst
MayTurn Active
FORT LAUDERDALE. Fla. <A>)
— Red Schoendienst, who retired
as an active player at the end
of the 1961 season, probably will
be reactivated as a utility in
fielder with the St. Louis Cardi
nals, Manager Johnny Keane said
Wednesday.
Schoendienst, 39, is listed as a
nonplaying coach but he has been
used in a pinch-hitting capacity
and as a late-inning replacement
as second base in exhibition games
this spring.
Schoendienst appeared in • 72
games last year, mostly as a
pinch hitter, and batted .300.
it. Claude Gilstrap, coach of Ar
lington State, thinks it would be a
fine idea.
He says Arlington State, which
is playing a tough independent
schedule, has been hurting because
it has to make long trips and play
schools that do not have a natural
rivalry.
This fall Arlington State will be
playing Mississippi Southern at
Hattiesburg and Memphis State at
Memphis. Why wouldn’t games
with Texas Western and Abilene
Christian College be better?
“There just isn’t any interest
in a game you play 600 miles a-
way with some school that has no
common interest,” observes Gil
strap.
Also, all colleges need to be
in a conference of some sort so
there’ll be something to play for
and some good strong rivalries. A
college can’t even get publicity on
its athletics unless it’s in a con
ference of some kind. Its games
mean nothing.
2 Tragedies Hit
Ag Track Team
Illness and a broken leg have
dealt the A&M Track team a
severe blow.
R. E. Merritt of Andrews,
Coach Charlie Thomas’ top-rank
ed quartermiler, is sidelined
with what has been diagnosed
as, infectious mononucleosis.
The diagnosis came just a few
hours before sprinter Pat Mit
chell of Columbus suffered a
hairline fracture of the fibula
bone in his left leg striding
through a 440 on the Kyle Field
track.
A&M team physician Dr. Hen
ry C. McQuaide said Merritt will
be out of action for at least two
weeks and Mitchell for the sea
son. Both are hospitalized.
Merritt sat out a quadrangular
meet at Abilene last Saturday
with what was throught to be
influenza. His accomplishments
this spring had included a 48.1
quartermile, 9.9 seconds one-
hundred yard dash and legs on
the Aggie 440-yard and one-
mile relay teams clocked in best
times of 42.0 and 3:16.8, respec
tively.
Dr. McQuaide said Merritt will
not be running in meets for at
least two weeks and it could be
even longer depending on the
severity of the illness.
Mitchell has had leg trouble
since he ruled the schoolboy
sprinters while a junior in high
school at Gainesville. He missed
most of last season with a pulled
muscle.
Texas is big enough to support
two conferences for its small col
leges. The Lone Star Conference
is a good one but it is so large
no other schools can be admitted.
Therefore, another conference is
needed to take in the excellent ath
letic program carried on by the
Schools now having to play it in
dependent.
