An Equal Opportunity Employer
By JOHN PLATZER
Aggies everywhere heaved a
huge sigh of relief Saturday as
the Southwest Conference Faculty
Athletic Committee cleared
A&M's football program of 13
of 17 charges lodged against it
and issued a reprimand on the
other four.
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.

Aggies Out Of Baseball Race
By GARY SHERER
The Aggies suffered a unique
fate over the weekend.
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 Horned Frogs finished their
SWC games Friday and Saturday
by taking three games from the

Red Raiders. TCU finished to
season at 13-5. 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.
