And that there should be a ruling in the NCAA against the signing of college ath letes off the campus. Chandler went on to say that Johnson may have led the Aggies to a national collegiate champion ship next season, but now he’s gone. Johnson, the rangy shortstop, was a near unanimous choice to this spring's All-SWC lineup after leading the Aggies to second place in league standings. During Johnson’s first varsity season, he registered a .288 bat ting average while slugging three home runs, three doubles and 12 singles for 27 total bases. Over the entire year he hit .309. He also starred in the field and completed the conference slate of games with, a .859 fielding aver age. The versatile star, while playing exclusively shortstop this past sea son, can also play second and third base.

RATLIFF Associated Press Sports Writer Coach Frank Broyles of Arkan sas advocates an 11-game foot ball season and the schools that win enough to get the fans out will agree with him. That actually would mean a 12- game season for the teams that win a lot because they get the bowl spots. It’s nothing new but it has been some time since there were sea sons like that. The NCAA clamped down and set a limit of 10. It is doubtful that the NCAA will heed the request for a return to the 11- game situation because it is con cerned with charges of overem phasis. That was the reason the season was limited in the first place. However, it would appear that the football coaches have a legiti mate request. Football season lasts only 2 1 /£ months—11 weeks. There is no reason why a game shouldn’t be played every week and there is no need for each school having to take off one week per season. Baseball extends for 11 weeks and the schools play two or three games every week. Basketball runs 14 weeks and the schools usually play about two games per week. Track gets in 11 weeks with a meet or two every week. Why should they make an excep tion of football, the sport that pi - o- vides most of the revenue for op erating the athletic departments. Of course, a school that loses most of its games wouldn’t care about adding a game. Say Hardin- Simmons, which hasn’t won one in two years, or Southern Method ist, which is doing well to win two. Adding a game would just mean losing more money. Back in the thirties there were 12-game seasons in the Southwest Conference. In 1935 Southern Methodist and Texas Christian each played 12 in the regular sea son. SMU also played in the Rose Bowl and Texas Christian in the Sugar Bowl. Texas A&M had a 12-game sea son in 1936. Rice had them in 1930 and 1936. Southern Method ist had four, Texas Christian five, Texas Tech one. Texas Tech played as many as 11 games until 1954. Baylor had an 11-game season in 1922 that it lived to regret. Trouble was that one of its games was an affair between the second teanf and Phillips University. Baylor had a mixup in its sched ule that season, finding that it had two games in a single week, one with Arkansas and the other with Phillips. Arkansas was a confer ence game and Phillips wouldn’t let Baylor out of the contract so both had to be played. Ted Lyons, who was noted for his baseball (he went from the campus to the big leagues) was put in charge of the second team and told to play Phillips. The Baylor first team beat Arkansas 61-13 but Lyon’s team wasn’t as fortunate—it took a 47-0 drub bing. COLLEGE MASTER VI 6-4988 ping To A&M r ithin the past week, five wslL .

There will be a sudden hush in the church, then the strains of the wedding march will peal forth and she will take her father’s arm and start up the aisle, her measured, steps symbolic of the very real hesi tation she will be feeling. She would not be human if she did not hesitate. These steps she is about to take are the most important steps of her life. She is poised on the threshold of another existence in which the pronoun she uses will be “We” and not “I.” Soon she will learn to think of another before she thinks of herself. Presently, she will come to know fully the meaning of the word “share.” As she moves forward, she falters for just a second. Then her step be comes sure, her lips curve in a smile. The church through which she walks is dear and beloved to her—and so is the man who stands waiting for her beside the altar. Her marriage, blessed by faith, is beginning where all marriages should begin—in the Church. THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . . ALL F9R THE CHURCH ! The Church Is the greatest factor I on earth for the building of char acter and good citizenship. It is 3 storehouse of spiritual values. With out a strong Church, neither de mocracy nor civilization can sur vive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (I) For his own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the sake of his com munity and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, whicl* needs his moral and material sup port.
