THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Thursday, June 17, 1965 SWC Expansion Still Being Debate TED NELSON Quartermiler Ted Nelson is A&M’s only entrant in the NCAA Championship Meet to be held Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Nelson, the SWC 440-yard dash record holder, won his latest meet, the Southern Federation Meet in Houston. His time was 46.3, an all-time personal best _ and an A&M school record. Matson May Make US-Russian Meet By The Associated Press A&M’s Randy Matson, the world’s top shot putter, has de cided to pass up the upcoming NCAA championship meet be cause of a knee injury but may be able to compete in the U.S.- Russian track meet in Moscow July 31. Matson received the good news over the weekend that he may be able to perform in the Russian meet although barred from the qualifying National AAU meet by the NCAA-AAU feud. Only those competing in the AAU meet are eligible for the team but in Matson’s case he can get on the team by virtue of his injury. An exception probably will be made since he could not compete in the AAU because of the injury. Col. Don Hull, executive direc tor of the AAU, said he felt Mat- son would be welcomed to the Prep Sprint Star Signs With A&M The Aggies have signed the New Mexico state high school dash champion to a track schol arship. A&M Coach Charley Thomas announced he has signed Bill Lowery of Carlsbad, N.M. High. Lowery won the state 100-yard dash and was second in the 220 and also anchored the winning 880-yard relay team. His best time in the 100 is 9.7 and his best in the 220 is 21.3. A&M coach Henry Ransom has also announced the signing of Dallas golfer Bill Manor to a scholarship. team and that all Randy had to do was apply and then show he had recovered sufficiently to compete. Matson found out exactly what was wrong with his left knee last week when an orthopedic surgeon said he had a chronic ligament strain that had caused bursitis. The surgeon shot his knee with medicine and told him to start working on the weights. So Matson will return to the practice field confident that he will be ready to compete by the Russian meet. He is employed for the sum mer in the packing department of Metallic Building Co. in Hous ton. r I'/MiDNEK You’ll Always Win The Showdown When You Get Vour Duds Don* At CAMPUS CLEANERS WHY START THE COLLEGE MASTER NOW?

RATLIFF Associated Press Sports Writer Arlington State now is being advocated for membership in the Southwest Conference. Houston long has been an ap plicant and seems to have the background, size and accomplish ment to warrant it. North Texas State has reached a stature that could fit into the Southwest Conference setup. West Texas State has ambi tions to better itself and its growing athletic program and physical makeup cause its back ers to dream of attainment. Trouble is that the more candi dates there are, the less chance of anybody getting in. The conference now has eight members. This provides the op portunity for a round-robin and also enough games against teams of other areas to keep the na tional image alive. A conference can’t maintain national regard if it plays only among itself. The faculty committee, gov erning body of the conference, has" a year-old resolution in the books that it will not increase its membership beyond eight schools. The resolution did not consider the academic or athletic qualifi cations of other colleges. It merely dealt with size of the league. “A maximum conference mem bership of eight is excellent; a larger number would be unwiel dy, particularly in football. Any expansion beyond the present membership eight would make further expansion almost inevita ble, causing eventual disruption of the conference as it is now known. The inevitable conclusion is that enlargement of the con ference would most definitely be harmful to its future develop ment,” said the resolution. What the conference fathers were saying, in a nutshell, was that if one school was taken in, it might be all right since there still would be two dates open for each school to play top intersec tional games, which probably would be enough. But if one school was taken in, then the other that felt qualified would think they ought to get the nod, too. But to maintain this attitude the present Southwest Confer ence schools will have only top intersectional games on the schedule and not play any of the schools of the same area or low rated intersectional opponents. They can’t do that and uphold their theory that both the round- robin and a big intersectional schedule are needed, too. The schools that want to get in can just point to those games and say “How come it wouldn’t be better for us to be in the confer ence filling in those dates?” The resolution is not binding. It can be changed at any time and schools are not forbidden to make application. This stand by the conference fathers is not ir revocable. From a practical standpoint, perhaps the attitude of the con ference is correct. But there’s another thing to be considered: Should the conference stand in the way of a school’s ami better itself?
