RATLIFF Associated Press Sports Writer Bonham was penalized for giv ing its football players copies of a religious book. The price of the book caused the school to ex ceed the awards limit of the Texas Interscholastic League. A boy can receive awards cost ing no more than $15.00 a year. The Bonham football players al ready had received $15.00 letter sweaters. There was considerable agita tion over the penalty because it was pointed out that a church, which gave the books to the boys, had only the highest of intentions and was not seeking to reward anyone for athletic ability. However, the League found it still was a violation of the awards rule and Bonham was suspended from competing for the champion ship this year and put on proba tion for two more years. If Bonham thinks its plight is rough it can gain solace in the knowledge that it wasn’t setting a precedent—these things have been happening to schools for 40 years as the League sought to uphold an amateur status by assessing penalties on the basis of the rule and not on intent. The first big case to test the amateur situation came before there was an awards rule. But there was an amateur rule that said a boy could receive nothing of valuable consideration. Thus Jitter McKinney, the Lufkin quarterback, was found ineligible in 1943 because fans had given him money to buy a suit of clothes. The intent was good—McKin ney was being helped and wasn’t being recruited or being paid for his services. The fans had nothing to gain by the gift. But the district committee went by the rule and didn’t consider the intent. At the same time that the Bon ham case was being investigated by the League, Bledsoe High School was being disqualified in track because a boy represented the school in League activities although his father, a minister, had moved from the district. Bledsoe said it had given the boy an opportunity to compete be cause it feared he would drop out of school if it didn’t. The intent was good but a rule had been violated and the League felt it had to penalize the school to up hold its policy of going by the rules and not by intent. Meet The Grid Staff Jack Hurlbut Jack Hurlbut, a Texan who played his collegiate football at Alabama, is the defensive back- field coach on the Texas Aggie staff headed by Gene Stallings. Hurlbut was a versatile athlete at Aldine High in Houston, com peting in football, basketball, track, and baseball. He played freshman football at Rice, then transferred to Alabama where he was a quarterback and defensive halfback for three sea sons. He was with the Crimson Tide in three bowl games, Sugar in 1961 and 1963 and Orange in 1962. Following his graduation in the spring of 1964, he went to Gal veston where he coached junior varsity football and swimming last fall. He left Galveston at midterm to join the Aggie staff. At Alabama, Stallings coached the defensive secondary while Hurlbut was performing and on announcing his hiring, the new Aggie head coach said, “I feel that Jack will be a great asset to our staff because he is a native Texan and because he played offensive quarterback and defensive halfback, giving him all-around experience. Too, I am sure that he will do an outstand- ing job recruiting.” The 24-year-old Hurlbut re cruits for the Aggies in South east Texas. “This is the best thing that has ever happened to me,” Hurlbut said in regard to being named to Stallings’ staff. “It’s a great break for me, and I feel very fortunate to get the opportunity to work for Coach Stallings.” Hurlbut is married to the former Gail Galloway of Houston. They have a son, Stephen Craig, almost two years^ old. JACK HURLBUT Matson Now On His Own WARSAW, Poland <A > )—Randy Matson of Pampa, Texas, left the U.

Stallings said he did not like the ruling because “it will make liars out of the coaches.” Ex plaining, he said that he foresees coaches eventually guaranteeing a renewal of the two-year scholarship. When coaches who adhered to the rule came to see the player, they would be out of the running for him because all they could offer is a two-year scholarship. Instead of this Stallings sug gested that the NCAA allow four-year scholarships and give the school the right to cancel them if the athlete refused to play for no reason other than laziness. Stallings went on to say that he did not want to cancel scholarships belonging to athletes who either were injured or did not have the ability but tried. Upon being questioned, Stall ings reaffirmed that those play ers that had left the A&M squad after he had become coach had left not because of any urging by him, but on their own motivation. Several future Aggie athletes participated in the two all-star contests held during the school. In the basketball tilt. Sonny Benefield of Sweeny scored 22 points for the victorious Soutk while Plainview’s Ronnie Peret fouled out early with nine points, In the grid clash, Roland Rainey of Bonham, a fleet half back, played with the North, On the South squad wen tackle Gordon Klunkert of Sat Marcos, halfback Joe Wood of Waller, quarterback Charlis Riggs of Galena Park, and end Joe Townsend of Bastrop, Minlccftrl Supplj 92S 5* Co!
