Page 4 College Station, Texas Friday, February 26, 1965 THE BATTALI^^N Texas Tech Ruled Ineligible; Aggie Cagers Get New Life TECH’S NORMAN REUTHER . . . shown in action against the Aggies Feb. 9. A&M-Baylor Dual Meet Here Saturday The A&M-Baylor dual track meet has been re-scheduled for LUBBOCK Off*) — Texas Tech, leading the Southwest Conference basketball race, withdrew from championship consideration Thurs day because it found one of its top players—Norman Reuther—scho lastically ineligible. Tech also will not participate in post-season playoffs for what Howard Grubbs, executive secre tary of the conference, termed “an honest mistake.” None of Tech’s games will be forfeited and it will play out the schedule. The team from the re mainder of the conference that finishes with the highest percent age will be champion and play in the NCAA. Dr. J. William Davis, chairman of the faculty athletic committee, told a called news conference at 6 p.m. that it had been belatedly discovered that Norman Reuther, Tech’s star forward, had not passed the required number of accumula tive hours over the past two semesters. The news hit basketball-con scious Lubbock and the South Plains like a bombshell. Davis told newsmen in a pre pared statement that Reuther, one of Tech’s top scorers and rebound ers, had passed only nine hours during the fall semester and 10 last spring for an accumulative total of 19 hours, one shy of the required number. He said, “In an effort to ascer tain the eligibility of all the bas ketball team members, I asked for a preliminary report from the registrar’s office shortly after mid term. In receiving the report,” Dr. Davis said, “I inadvertently did not notice that Reuther’s hours for both semesters did not meet the minimum requirements for South west Conference eligibility. “Last Wednesday,” he said, “Howard Grubbs, executive secre tary of the Southwest Conference, called me and said the discrepancy in Reuther’s record has been dis covered during a routine check, and asked that we investigate.” Saturday afternoon at Kyle Field. The field events begin at 2:30 p.m. and the running events start at 3 p.m. The meet was originally sched uled at this time but had been postponed earlier in the week be cause of the icy weather. A&M track mentor Charley Thomas and Baylor coach Clyde Hart agreed over the telephone to re-schedule the event after conditions im proved. By LANI PRESSWOOD With the suddenness of a bolt of West Texas lightning the Aggie- Texas cage duel in Austin Satur day night has taken on a com pletely new complexion. The removal of Texas Tech from title consideration has thrown the Southwest Conference race into a four-team dogfight. A&M, Texas, 9MU, and Baylor all have a chance at the crown. The Mustangs have an 8-3 record, Texas and Baylor are both 7-4, and A&M owns a 6-5 mark. For the Cadets to win, they must take all three of their remaining contests. Besides Texas, Tech and SMU are also on the schedule. If the Ags captured all three, if Texas beat Baylor, and if Baylor stopped SMU, the championship would wind up in a four-way tie. Saturday night’s action will bear heavily on the eventual outcome of the race. Baylor and SMU will be battling in Dallas while the Aggies and Steers are warring in Gregory Gym. Shelby Metcalf’s Aggies are riding a three-game winning streak as they roll into Austin. Twice in the last three contests the Ags have cracked the century mark in scoring. In those clashes the Cadets have displayed a run-and-shoot offense and a full-court zone press on de fense much of the time. The Aggies will likely counter with SWC scoring leader John Beasley at center, Ken Norman and Bill Gasway at forwards, and Paul Timmins and Dick Rector at the guard posts. Bradley will probably start big men Larry Franks, John Paul Fultz, and Mickey White. At the guard slots he will choose among Jimmy Clark, Mike Gammon, and Paul Olivier. A capacity crowd is expected for the 8 p.m. tipoff. The A&M Fish close out their season in a prelim against the Texas Yearlings at 5:45. After we finish this set... let's head for 'Charlie's'... Don't call a cab. I want to show you my new wheels- a new Dodge Coronet. Who's the guy who keeps waving? My Dodge salesman... good people. Clued me in on all the jazz that comes standard on a Coronet 500." "Like bucket seats, full carpeting, padded dash, console, spinners, backup lights and a wild V8 for kicks... oops, there's my cue...” "Black is the color of my true love's Coronet..." Coronet makes your kind of music, and the price won't leave you flat. Dodge Coronet SOO OODGE DIVISION CHRYSLER MOTORS CORPORATION Tennis, Swim Teams Compete Against St. Edwards, Texas The Aggie tennis and swimming teams both travel to Austin for this weekend’s competition. The tennis team will challenge St. Edward’s Saturday while the aquamen are taking on the Uni versity of Texas squad. There will be six singles and three doubles matches during the tennis meet.

Coach Adamson said the outlook for the A&M-UT dual swim meet looks like a tough battle for the Cadets. He said UT has had a fine year with a strong team.
