The reprimand amounts to little more than a slap on the wrist and carries no sanctions against A&M. The violations were all con cerned with the giving of compli mentary tickets to prospects for away games and for the paying of travel expenses to places other than the athlete’s home or the campus. A&M’s violations were of a minor nature, thus calling for the relatively light penalty, accord ing to Dr. Monroe S. Carroll of Baylor, the SWC president. “We considered the offense much lighter than the one in 1965 and the penalty was in per spective,’’ Dr. Carroll said. Coach Gene Stallings, Aggie athletic director, and Dr. O. D. Butler, A&M’s faculty represent ative, were both praised by Dr. Carroll for their cooperation in the investigation. “No one has ever been more diligent in seeking out the truth than Dr. Butler; and Coach Stall ings was very cooperative when he appeared before us, answering questions in a very forthright way,” Dr. Carroll said. The reprimand was approved unanimously by the Conference, with A&M voting to accept the statement. Howard Grubbs, executive sec retary of the SWC, said the chances appear very slim that the NCAA will review the case or request the files. “You will have to ask the NCAA if they are going to in vestigate the case,” Grubbs said. “But I cannot think of any time in the past in the SWC when the NCAA has requested our files or has ever increased the penalty and I don’t see why they would this time.” Grubbs said that he couldn't comment on whether or not any “private reprimands” were is sued. Writers attending the Sat urday press conference, however, learned that Texas University was found guilty of violations and reprimanded. Southern Methodist had two charges leveled against them but was not found guilty on either one.

They were eliminated from the Southwest Conference baseball crown even though they swept a two-game series from the Rice Owl nine. Two things: Texas Christian’s three-game sweep of Texas Tech, and last-but-not-least, the SWC rules? makers, caused the Ag gies’ plight.

The best the A? gies can do is 12-5, thus the elimi nation of the Maroon and White All that is left for the Agtfie now is to sweep this weekend 1 two-game series with Texas Austin and by doing so, km the Longhorns from a chance at the title. But, the real culprit in the Af gies’ case is the SWC Rules Con mittee (or whatever name the; go by). At the start of the season, ruling was made that any rained out single game of a three-gaiw home-and-home series would no! be rescheduled. Due to the frequent rainy weath er early in the season, there werf several cancellations. Thus, the SWC moguls put out a new de cree. This time, they said, that four rained out games would he replayed. This caught everybody up at the time. However, later in the season, the Aggies lost their last game with Baylor to the elements. This time, the rule stuck. No replay. Friday afternoon, the Aggies came from behind to top the Owls 10-5. The league-leading hitting attack of the Aggies was in evi dence all weekend as they added 10 hits in Saturday’s 6-2 win to the 13 hits in Friday’s game. In Saturday’s game, Doug Ran tied Rocky Thompson for most pitching wins, as the freshman hurler posted his fifth victory. The Aggies now possess the best overall record at 21-7 (Texas and TCU are 20-8). Now everyone will await this weekend’s Austin results. If the Aggies sweep the series, TCU is the champion. If there is a split, Texas and TCU tie. If Texas takes both games, Texas is champ. Whatever happens, the 1968 SWC baseball season will prob ably go down as an anti-climatic one.
