A quick pin by fish George
Hollwildell in the 123 pound class
put A&M ahead 5-0. Freshman
Danny Shilk showed much poten
tial in his second period loss to
130-pounder Robert Magdaleno,
one of Houston's outstanding
wrestlers.
One of the highlights of the
afternoon was the 137-pound
bout between A&M’s Don Jacobs
and Dave Flores, the 32-year-old
coach of the all-star team. Jacobs
edged him 6-5 to put A&M ahead
8-5. The second and last Aggie
loss of the day occurred when
fish Scott Wheelis lost a hard-
fought decision as Houston tied
the score 8-8,
Putting A&M back in the lead
was fish Mike Bishop, weak from
days of not eating in his attempt
to make the 152-pound limit. He
pinned his man in the first period.
Two more freshmen who added
to the Aggie score were 160-
pound Larry Hembree, who de
feated his opponent 7-0 and Bruce
Davis, who pinned his man in
the third period. One of the out
standing bouts of the day oc
curred when Mike Dodd used the
guillotine split to pin 27-year-old
Richard Ross in the first period
of the match.
The climax of the afternoon’s
meet was the heavyweight match
between A&M’s Dave Henderson
and Houston’s John Cook. Al
though Cook outweighed Hender
son by 35 pounds, Henderson
pinned him in the first period of
their match to end the scoring at
31-8.
After the meet, Coach Weider
stated that although he had had
much confidence in his wrestlers,
he did not think they would beat
Houston so badly. He added that
they would have to be even
tougher when they meet Houston
again at A&M on January 15th.

FROM THE
inea
By Larry R. Jerden
Well, after ten years, here we
are again. On probation by the
Southwest Conference.
Whenever this happens, it is
quite natural that the restricted
school come forth with some
gripes and/or explanations. This
is as it should be, because no one
else is going to carry the torch
for the offended party.
As the offended party’s news
paper, we intend to raise a few
questions and defend our man in
the athletic department.
First of all, we are fully behind
Coach Stallings in his actions,
and believe that anyone honestly
appraising the situation will
agree with him, also.
For instance, is it really fair
for an athlete who quits to re
ceive the same scholarship as a
boy who competes for the full
season, sacrifices for the team
and the school, often to injury
to himself?
This, obviously, isn’t fair to the
boys who play, to the school, or
to the fans.
And, after Coach Stallings
cleared the physical education
class in question with the execu
tive secretary of the SWC, why
did the conference come back and
declare it illegal?
Most glaring of all in our eyes
is the unequal treatment of
schools placed on probation. When
the Aggies are placed on proba
tion, it seems the rule to bar
them from bowl games and place
full sanctions on them. The same
was true of SMU this past year.
But what about those powers
of the gridiron, Arkansas and
TU?
They were both placed on pro
bation for illegal recruiting prac
tices, but for some reason, (win
ning ?) there were no sanctions
imposed.
Something does seem awry. I
wonder if it could be tried under
the equal opportunities act?
Coach Stallings has said that
he and his staff discussed the
situation with each boy when he
decided to quit, and even encour
aged him to stay. He also said
that the boys agreed that the
university had no responsibility
to send them through school after
they quit. And, finally, he de
clared that not one boy came ask
ing for money or other support
after he quit.
To those honorable men in
the SWC, either they did not
believe these statements or they
did not matter to them.
If they did not matter, they
should have. If they doubt the
integrity of Coach Stallings, then
he is not the man to be the Ag
gies’ head coach ... or they are
not the men to run the SWC!
The decision has been made,
and it won’t likely be changed,
but that sure doesn’t make it
right.
DALLAS, Dec. 14—Teams that
dominated the 1965 Southwest
Conference football campaign
likewise hogged the honors on
the All-SWC Academic named
this week by a panel of seven
area sports writers.
Champion Arkansas qualified
three, while TCU, which shared
runner-up honors with Texas
Tech, led the balloting with five.
SMU placed two, while Texas
Tech, Texas, Rice, Baylor and
A&M qualified one each on the
15-man selection.
Three of the players — Jack
Howe of Texas, Doug January
of SMU and Jackie Brasuell of
Arkansas—were consensus all/-
Conference players on the field
in the 1965 campaign. Howe
made the consensus selection as
an offensive center but the aca
demic team as a defensive tackle,
which was his normal position
on defense.
January was an all-Conference
defensive end, while Brasuell was
an all-Conference defensive half
back, leading the league in punt
return yardage. In 1964 he had
been the leading ball carrier on
Arkansas’ undefeated champion
ship team.
The all-Academic selection:
Ends —< Doug January, SMU
(defense) and Sonny Campbell,
TCU.
Tackles — Wayne Barginear,
Texas Tech, and Jack Howe, Tex
as (defense).
Guards — Tom Mur rah, A&M,
and David Cooper, TCU (de
fense) .
Center — Randy Stewart, Ark
ansas.
Linebacker — E. A. Greshman,
TCU.
Backs — Steve Landon, TCU;
Jim Lindsey, Arkansas; Bill De
fee, Baylor; Chuck Latourette,
Rice.
Defensive backs — Jackie
Brasuell, Arkansas; John Rich
ards, TCU, and Ronnie Reel,
SMU.
Sports writers participating in
the poll were Burle Pettit, Lub
bock A vanlanche-Journal; Jack
Agness, Houston Post; Jack
Keady, Arkansas Democrat; Joe
Heiling, Austin American-States-
man; Roy Edwards, Dallas News;
Jim Browder, Fort Worth Press,
and Dave Campbell, Waco News-
Tribune.
