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.

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.

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.
