Bonham Not 1st
School To Feel
Wrath Of TIL
By HAROLD V. 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.

Cornell won the first Intercol

pionship in 1895
Gene Stallings, head Aggie
football coach, attacked the new
SWC ruling limiting scholarships
to two years while he was at the
Texas High School Coaches
School in Dallas.
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.

Benefield of Sweeny scored 22
points for the victorious Soutk
