The Dallas Morning News
claimed Sunday that other confer
ence schools had complained about
alleged recruiting violations at
A&M and that the school was
currently under investigation.
The distribution and sale of
football game tickets by athletes,
issuance of complimentary tickets
to high school coaches and players
and transportation and entertain
ment of prospective athletes were
among the charges cited in the
Dallas paper.
Gene Stallings, Aggie Athletic
Director, denied that A&M had
offered inducements to athletes
or that it had given tickets to
athletes to sell. ,
“Texas A&M has done every
thing it can to live within the
rules of the NCAA as set down
by the Southwest Conference,”
Stallings, 1967 SWC Coach of the
Year, said in a statement to the
Associated Press.
“I don’t know of anything we’re
guilty of, although I do know the
investigator for the conference
has checked us,” he said.
Stallings refused to comment
further on the subject to the Bat
talion Monday.
The Aggies came off conference
probation only a year ago and
celebrated with the SWC champ
ionship and a win over Alabama
in the Cotton Bowl.
The 1965 probation came as a
result of taking away athletes’
scholarships when they quit var
sity sports and for too many
spring grid workouts. ,
The “extra” spring workouts
were acredited by the conference
to a PE 317 course, although the
course had earlier been approved
by Howard Grubbs, executive sec
retary of the SWC.
In 1964 the conference placed
Southern Methodist University,
Texas University and the Univer
sity of Arkansas on probation for
almost identical recruiting viola
tions. Although SMU’s sentence
included sanctions, none were im
posed on Texas or Arkansas.
The Aggies were last accused
of recruiting violations in 1955,
when Paul “Bear” Bryant was
head coach. The conference
charged Aggie-exes with over-
zealous recruiting of such pros
pects as Bobby Manning and Tom
Sestak, now all-AFL performer
with the Buffalo Bills.
The sanctions against the Ag
gies that year provided that the
team not participate in any post
season games and that all the
prospects that had been signed
be released from their contracts
and be allowed to sign with any
SWC school of their choosing.
Despite the black clouds left
by the unproven charges, spring
training for the defending con
ference champions is advancing
at full speed.
In a controlled scrimmage Sat
urday the Maroons rolled over
the Whites, six touchdowns to
none, behind three touchdown
scampers b y fullback Wendell
Housley.
Housley’s runs were of one,
two and four yards while Tail
back Larry Stegent had a five
yard score and Johnny Weaver,
a freshman, scored from 29 yards
out.
The other score was made by
All - America linebacker Billy
Hobbs on a 40 yard intercepted
pass return.

less runs tomorrow. If this is
true, the Texas Aggie baseball
team may be in for a long run
drought as they get back into
action today against the Houston
Cougars in a 1 p^m. Kyle Field
doubleheader.
Over the weekend, the Aggie
nine scored 49 runs in a three-
game series with Texas Tech at
Lubbock. Coach Tom Chandler
hopes there will be no truth to
the old superstition as his Ag
gies will play their last two non
conference games of the 1968
season.
The Aggies started off Fri
day’s doubleheader with Tech on
a unhappy note, losing 13-11.
They reversed the tide in the sec
ond game as they rolled up a
17-6 victory. On Saturday, Tech
again scored six runs but the Ag
gies added even more as they
pounded the Red Raiders 21-6.
The hitting hero for the Ag
gies in Saturday's game was
outfielder Dave Elmendorf. The
Houston athlete socked three
home runs and knocked in seven
runs in the Aggie rout. Catcher
Joe Staples also hit for the cir
cuit to add to the Aggies 17-hit
attack.
A 55-mile-an-hour wind was a
definite factor in Friday’s games.
Tbe pitchers were at a disadvan
tage as the gusts of wind came
right back at them and aided the
hitters tremendously.
The Aggies are now 6-4 in the
Southwest Conference and 15-6
overall and are now in third place
behind Texas and Texas Chris
tian.
