THE BATTALION
SWC Allows Each Member
22 Frosh Football Signees
By HAROLD V. RATLIFF
Associated Press Sports Writer
The Southwest Conference has a
plan under which each member is
allowed to sign 22 boys to letters
of intent to become freshmen in
football. This means they will not
be able to go to another conference
school without loss of eligibility as
both a freshman or sophomore.
The idea was to cut down on the
recruiting strife to make it pos
sible for a coach to sign a boy and
then know that there was no
danger of an-opponent taking him.
The coaches also said this was
better for the boy, since it removed
the strain he would be subjected
to if he had to have all the scouts
visiting him repeatedly.
A LIMIT was set by the confer
ence fathers because they didn’t
want any school to have an ad
vantage. If it was unlimited, it
was argued, the big schools might
sign all the top boys, therefore, a
limit meant the proper distribution
of the better athletes.
The coaches, who never have
enough players in their opinion
(they didn’t think so even in the
two-platoon days), weren’t satis
fied. They decided the figure was

too low and that it handicapped
them in their recruiting. They
decided to sign any number they
wanted to to letters of intent but
file only 22. The others would be
covered by a gentleman’s agree
ment among the coaches stipulat
ing that they .would honor each
other’s unfiled letters. The coaches
were, in effect, changing the rule
worked out by the conference
fathers.
The agreement was a hastily
arranged affair and no specific
rules were worked out. Boys who
were not on file but wanted to
change to other schools were not
covered. The coaches figuned to
get around that by a system of
releases. In other woi’ds, if a boy
wanted to change to another school,
the coach of that other school
would get a release on the boy
from the original school. Of
course, if the original school didn’t
want to release the boy he couldn’t
change, under the gentleman’s
agreement. Actually it would
seem in a case like this the boy
should be the one to decide since
he wasn’t legally bound under the
letter of intent rule.

The first event will be swim

less urged athletic officers to get
their units over to the pool and
practice. As a rule the outfits
have been waiting until the day of
the race to discover who can and
cannot swim. The results have
been surprising.
Two other items of importance:
Each unit will be issued a foot
ball and scrimage practice for
freshman flag football will be held
Oct. 1-4.
Oct. 8 is the day scheduled for
the start of basketball, handball
and ping pong for upperclassman.
On the same day freshman will be
gin flag football, horseshoe pitch
ing and bowling.
This year the intramural pro
gram will have four senior manag
ers. They are Jim Guiberteau, John
Vumwalt, Mike Shively and Paul
Smith. Again this year the pro
gram will be under the direction
of Charles E. McCandless.
Liston Takes Title
With 1st Round KO
CHICAGO UP) — Sonny Liston,
an. immense hulk of a man with
an unsavory past, became the
new heavyweight boxing champion
of the world Tuesday night by
knocking out Floyd Patterson with
a stunning left hook to the jaw
in 2:06 of the first round.
The flash ending came as a
surprise to the stunned crowd at
Comiskey Park because it was the
first real solid punch of the fight.
Not since Rocky Marciano
stopped Jersey Joe Walcott in the
first round in a Chicago defense
in 1953 had a heavyweight title
fight ended with a first-round
knockout.
This was the third fastest of the
nine first-i*ound KO’s scored in
this division’s title history and
only two seconds more than Joe
Louis required to drop Max Sch-
emling in their historic rematch in
1938.
The fastest knockout in heavy
weight title history was the 1:28
by Tommy Bui’ns over Jem Roche
in Dublin, March 17, 1908.
Liston, carrying a weight ad
vantage of 25 pounds, had domi
nated the early moments of the
bout before he pulled the trig;
on the left hook.
