RATLIFF Associated Press Spo er Texas probably has more foot ball independents than any other state in the nation. Naturally, Texas wouldn’t have anything to do with it if it couldn’t have the most. But the point is that a dozen colleges are playing an aimless schedule and something should be done about it. They should have the privilege of playing for some thing. Once virtually all of Texas’ col leges were in conferences. Thei’e were the Southwest Conference, the Missouri Valley Conference, the Texas Conference, the Lone Star .ConT^Jt’ence, the Border Con- fere'hce. the Gulf G^a&t Conference ;u|d v, dfher :: such sel-ups. 1 W£ WANT YOUR TIRE BUSINESS and We think You 'll enjoy doing business with us!

No Money Down WhenYpij Trade Your Old Tires Steve Parker ’64 Campus Sales Manager SHELTON COLLEGE AVE. AT 33rd. Today there are only the Lone Star Conference, Missouri Valley Conference and the Southwest Con ference. The Texas Conference, the Gulf Coast Conference, the Border Conference and the others have passed to the limbo of the forgotten. Only one school—North Texas State—is a member of the Missouri Valley. It’s a good bet that North Texas would enter some good conference in Texas if it came along. THE INDEPENDENTS playing in Texas this year are Houston, West Texas State, Texas Western, Austin College, Abilene Christian, McMurry, Trinity, Texas Lutheran, Arlington State, Tarleton State, Austin College and Corpus Christi. Houston quit the Missouri Val ley Conference several years ago and has been an independent look ing for a conference ever since. Houston would like to be in the Southwest Conference and would take the Southeastern if the Southwest never is available. Houston is big enough and has an adequate program to make it worthy of membership in the Southwest Conference. However, it may never make it since Rice, another Houston school, is a char ter member and obviously would n’t want Houston in the league because of the local competition that would ensue. Rice also would object to playing Houston on grounds it might become too hot a rivalry. West Texas State and Texas Western eventually should wind up in the new conference that Ari zona and Arizona State quit the Border Conference to get into— the Western Athletic Conference. AUSTIN COLLEGE probably wouldn’t want in a conference un less it was one that included only colleges that do not give athletic scholarships and pride themselves on playing only the boys who come to school primarily for an educa tion and pay their way while there. Then, that leaves Abilene Chris tian, McMurry, Trinity, Texas Lu theran, Arlington State, Hardin- Simmons, Tarleton State and pos sibly Corpus Christi. The latter would have to put more emphasis on football than it now does in order to compete. Hardin-Sim- mons might still have an idea of getting into a conference like the Western or of just going on as an independent. Most of the Texas colleges play each other. In one instance there is a round-robin among five of them. Why not organize a conference and when they play each other it would be playing for something instead of just having a football team because it’s more or less cus tomary. A CONFERENCE encompassing Abilene Christian, Hardin-Sim- mons, McMurry, Trinity, Texas Lu theran, Arlington State and Tarle ton State should be a very good one. And it ought to double the crowds at least, so that the schools might make enough at the gate to pay expenses. Texas 28, SMU 7; the Steers needn’t be as impressed with the Mustangs as everybody thinks. TEXAS TECH 3, Rice 0; it’s about time for the Raiders and Rice’s luck is about worn thin. TCU 21, Baylor 14; contrary to the statistics, the Frogs can move the ball better than the Bears (against the Bears, at any rate.) Wyoming 20, Air Force 13; the Cowboys have corrected early- season troubles and should finish out in fine style. Ohio State 34, Iowa 20; the poor Hawkeyes are going to be trying so hard, too. Navy 21, Notre Dame 18; it’s the Midshipmen who might explode. LSU 14, Mississippi 6; it ought to take more than the Rebels to get through the Tiger defense. Auburn 19, Florida 12; the Ti gers like that unbeaten slate too much to let the determined Gators get revenge for last year. Brigham Young 26, New Mex ico 14; the Cougars should get their revenge for last year. Oregon 17, Stanford 6; the Ducks don’t care if the Indians did beat Washington.
