The Unfair Flip
The Texas Longhorns did it again! They can have the worst team
in the Southwest Conference and still manage to win the champion
ship. This time it was in baseball.
After TCU had beaten Texas A&M Saturday, 4-0, behind the
tight three-hit pitching- of Tom Gramly to throw the SWC into
a four-way tie between A&M, TCU, Texas and Baylor, conference
officials tossed a coin to decide the conference representative in
the NCAA play offs. As usual, Texas won.
But Texas is lucky. They will not have to be embarrassed in
Omaha, Neb., during the NCAA playoffs because they must first
meet the University of Houston in a two-out-of-three series, and
with the team the Longhorns have, they will be lucky to get by
Houston.
Of course this is incidental to the whole thing. What confer
ence officials should have done was to have a’ playoff between the
four teams to decide the representatives. But no, conference fathers
gave the excuse of finals exams coming up and there would be
no time for a playoff since a district series would have to be played
before the Omaha tournament. No time!
The NCAA playoffs are not until June 13. Houston and
Texas will play Wednesday and Thrusday of this week so what is
the winner going to do for two weeks before the national playoffs ?
A SWC playoff between the four teams which tied for the
lead at a neutrial site would have been much more appropriate.
The winner would at least have known that he was the winner be
cause he beat his competitors on the field, not on luck.
The coaches of the teams involved expressed disappointment
in the way the conference representative was decided.
“It’s ridiculous,” TCU coach Frank Windegger said. “We play
all season for the championship and the chance to get to the playoffs.
Then it’s decided by a coin flip. Ridiculous.
“I’m going to fight to have the rule changed. Even if we had
won the flip, I would have wanted the rule changed. It’s just not
fair to the kids,” Windegger concluded.
The rule which Windegger wants changed was initiated in
1954 and states that a coin flip will decide the race in case of a tie.
The rule which the 1954 statute replaced stated that the team which
had gone the longest number of years from the playoffs would go.
If this rule was still in effect, Baylor would have been the confer
ence representative because they have not won a major title since
1924.

Jimmy Duffey, Texas Chris
tian’s talented second baseman,
was not only one of two unani
mous selections but also player
of the year in Southwest Confer
ence baseball.
and certainly measured up to a
real utility man.
James Scheschuk of Texas
edged Joe Staples of Texas A&M
for catcher.
Tommy Gramly, Texas Chris
tian’s brilliant pitcher, was the
other unanimous choice on the
all-conference team.
The six coaches picked a 14-
man squad and named four play
ers each from Texas Christian
and Texas A&M, three from
Texas, two from Rice and one
from Southern Methodist.
Matson Back!
Throws 69-2l/ 2
Baylor, the other conference
member that tied for the cham
pionship with Texas, Texas
Christian and Texas A&M, failed
to land a man.
There was a tie at one posi
tion—Forrest Boyd of Texas and
Parke Davidson of Texas Chris-
tion each got three votes for
shortstop.
Billy Crain, Texas A&M first
baseman; Lou Camilli, Texas
A&M third baseman; Mickey
Yates, Texas Christian outfield
er; Ronnie Waldo, Rice out
fielder, and Gary Moore, Texas
pitcher and outfielder, all lacked
one vote of being unanimous.
Moore was named to the utility
outfield position but he also got
votes for pitcher and outfielder
Randy Matson, the giant of the
shot put, faced his stiffest com
petition during the weekend and
easily beat them.
Matson putted the iron ball 69
feet, 2% inches at the Coliseum
Relays in Los Angeles and beat
Neal Steinhauer of the Universi
ty of Oregan by five feet. Stein
hauer, before the relays, had a
better toss than Matson.
In the discus, Matson threw the
platter 195 feet, 11 inches to
average an earlier loss to John
Cole of Arizona State.
At the Fresno Relays the next
day, Matson threw the shot 66
feet, 4 1 / 4 inches.
The Los Angeles toss was the
best in the nation this season
and only a foot away from his
own world’s record.
Gil Smith, Southwest Confer
ence sprint champion, finished
third in the 220 in 21.3, but it
took a photo finish to decide the
winner as the three top positions
finished in a dead heat.
Squadron-9 became the Class A
softball champion by defeating
F-2 in the championship game.
Other winners in the tourM'
ment were Sq-11 in Class B awl
the Physicers in Class C.
In the Class A competition,
Sq-9 and F-2 opened the tourna
ment by defeating G-l and Al,
respectively.
