About The Battalion. (College Station, Tex.) 1893-current | View Entire Issue (Oct. 17, 1962)
FROM THE i ^ideii SPORTS SECTION • a The following will be an expla- ption, perhaps only a eonglomera- ■on, of the “policies” of the ’62 ports staff of The Battalion. In the first place, although we re so-called journalists, we are hashamedly pro-Aggie. This only ‘'i® eans ’ however, that we want to ie the Cadets win every game and j>ery divisional championship they ay in every sport. And, accord- g to journalism textbooks, sports- riters are the only ones allowed show the least bit of bias in ■leir writing—so we reserve that Ight. I At the same time we don’t feel I our duty to act solely as morale- Isosters. We will, however, from Jme to time “sneak” in something of that nature if it is not too un ethical. ineS By Jim Butler f/. ir an! cadets Tom II a Secondly, we feel that it is our |uty to do as much as possible to OFS lather the cause of minor sports Jt A&M. Our thinking here is that ost of the major sports here are ell-covered by most of the big ity dailies, whereas athletic ac- e caiu ; l v ^' es con fmed to the campus, Ihich seldom receive any publicity, Jet af^ld somewhere. il ShiJa I g e j n g students, and members of HI I limited staff, we are unable to re, 1, ive as much coverage to these linor sports as we’d like. We seini- Zeti' need the help of members of the various clubs and teams in accumu lating information. The minor sports to which we refer are those like handball, wrestling, skydiving, fencing, bowl ing and many others. We feel that these are an integral part of ath letics at A&M and that they in volve a large number of Aggies who deserve recognition. With regard to intramurals our thinking is the same as that cited above about minor sports. It is an important phase of the sports program at Aggieland. There was a time in the not-too-distant past when the intramural program at A&M was the largest in the coun try. It still ranks among the leaders and we are proud of it. We would like to see it rank on top again, but, more important, we want to see it receive the overall student interest it used to. There are a number of men and students who devote a generous share of their time and efforts in an attempt to make intramurals a benefit to the students of A&M. Sports at A&M—all of them— are good. They only infringe on the academic aspects of this school when the participants and sup porters allow them to. Those who are skeptical might change their minds if they would participate.

Head Blocks Called Unsafe By TMA The Texas Medical Association has declared that “helmet” or “head blocking” may result in serious deformities or damage to the nervous systems of football players. This statement, along with a recommendation that the practice be discontinued in junior and senior high school football was released by the TMA Tuesday. “Chronic damage to the brain, neck or spinal cord are the residual consequences of this practice,” ex plained Dr. Robert G. McCorkle of Austin, chairman of a special TMA committee to study the prob lem. He added, “and death can results if the injury is severe enough.” County medical societies are being notified of the special com mittee’s recommendations, and have been asked to act locally by acquainting coaches and trainers of the danger in the use of “helmet blocking.” Local societies will re quest that this technique be dis continued. >g.” Individual winners for D-2 were James Parks, Rudy Gomez, Don Simmons, John Allen, Robert Hux, Charles Massay, Bill Spaw, Boyd Wilson, and A1 Lederer.

Main TA 2-1941 SWC, Big 8, To Agree Soon By HAROLD V. RATLIFF Associated Press Sports Writer The Southwest and Big Eight Conferences are going to work out an agreement to recognize each other’s letters of intent. The Southwest has had this little recruiting weapon for a number of years but the Big Eight is just now adopting it. Bud Wilkinson, coach of Oklahoma, once said he didn’t approve of it; it smacked too much of professionalism. UNDER THE LETTER of intent a schoolboy athlete signs up to attend one of the conference schools. He can’t go to any other school in the conference without forfeiting his freshman and sopho more years of eligibility. That didn’t mean, however, that some school outside the Southwest Conference couldn’t sign him. Oklahoma signed quite a few of the letter of intent athletes, which brought howls of discontent from the conference members. Some of the coaches hinted that Oklahoma liked it that way—it would just wait until the boy was locked up so far as the Southwest Conference was concerned then move in and take the athlete since there was no competition from any of the conference schools. It would seem that Oklahoma would want to go on like that but now it develops that the Big Eight, of which Oklahoma is a member, has decided it wants the letter of intent and also an agreement with the Southwest that the two leagues will recognize each other’s letter. Obviously the Southwest is get ting the better of the deal. South west Conference schools seldom sign athletes from the Big Eight area. This year there are only six in the entire conference that are Oklahoma boys. There are none from Kansas, Iowa, Colorado or Missouri. OKLAHOMA, on the other hand, has 18 Texas boys on its squad. But with the agreement Okla homa won’t be signing any of the Texas lo ! or of intent boys, thus there will be a frlloff in the num ber of Texans on the Oklahoma squad although Oklahoma still will be able to recruit Texas boys. The Sooners will only have to pass up the youngsters who have signed letters of intent. Now Oklahoma will have to start recruiting in Texas as soon as the date falls; it won’t be able to let the South west schools in effect do recruiting for it. The agreement between the two conferences will only affect them and won’t apply to any other league unless it should by chance want in.

Professors Launch Attack On Waists During Lunch A group of A&M faculty and staff members have launched a “double-barreled attack on the waistline.” According to Carl W. Landiss of the Department of Health and Physical Education, the first workout of the Faculty High Noon Physical Fitness Class was held at noon Wednesday. Landiss said the class will be offered Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the lunch hour anu all faculty and staff members are welcome. The class is primarily for conditioning, but if interest is sufficient and the physical condi tion of the participants merits, there may be recreational sports offered also, he added. The “double-barreled attack” re fers to less intake of food with in creased exercise, explained Landiss. Attempts will be made to improve the muscle tone of the partici pants. Landiss’ wife works on campus and he doesn’t go home for lunch. He said that he had been taking advantage of the lunch hour to get in some exercise. Landiss said' that this gave him the idea that others might like to join him. He added that a number of men had expressed like desires to him. The P.E. department has _iiered a physical fitness cl as., for St<. and Faculty members at 5 . .m. on weekdays for about avo years. This time, howe'r :, was found to be inconvenient for many who wanted to participate, said Landiss.
