OU Caught In Grade Tampering Case!
By RON JENKINS
Associated Press Sports Writer
NORMAN, Okla. (A 5 ) _ The
University of Oklahoma Sooners,
the nation’s No. 2-ranked football
team last year, will forfeit eight
of its wins, including its Sugar
Bowl victory over Penn State,
because of recruiting irregulari
ties.
Athletic Director Wade Walker
told a press conference the school
would forfeit every game in
which freshman Kerry Jackson of
Houston, Tex., the top quarter
back this spring, played. That
will mean Oklahoma will retain
victories over only Kansas State,
Iowa State and Nebraska.

loss.
In addition, Walker said, the
resignation of offensive line
coach Bill Michael had been
asked for and received.
Walker said the high school
transcripts of both Jackson and
Mike Phillips, also of Houston,
had been tampered with. He
said Michael had admitted he
had knowledge of the transcript
irregularities.
Head Coach Barry Switzer
said he had assured Dr. Paul
Sharp, the university president,
that no other member of his staff
was involved in the incident.
Walker also said that Jackson
had stayed in the athletic dormi
tory during two visits to the OU
campus when he was a high
school senior.
Both the transcript tampering
and the dorm stays are violations
of Big Eight Conference regu
lations, and the conference is in
vestigating, Walker said.
Walker said both Jackson and
Phillips will be ineligible to take
part in varsity athletics this year
at Oklahoma, which won the Big
Eight football title last year.
“However, there is no evidence
at the present time that either
Jackson or Phillips had any
knowledge of the tampering or
of any wrongdoing whatsoever,”
Walker said. “As a result, every
effort will be made to encourage
them to continue their education
at the University of Oklahoma.”
Switzer said he did not learn
of the investigation until this
week.
Oklahoma had finished the sea
son at 11-1, including the Sugar
Bowl triumph. The forfeits will
drop the record to 3-9.

PLAN FOR THE FUTURE-ORDER NOW
(Don’t find yourself wishing years from now that you had purchased
a copy of the yearbook. Do it now and be glad for years to come.)
The Aggieland is now offered on an optional basis, rather
than being included in student services fees. This means
you should request that a copy be ordered for you when
you preregister. All you have to do is check the “yes” box
beside the appropriate entry on your Housing Authoriza
tion card, and payment will be included in your total state
ment for room and board, tuition and related fees.
STUDENT PUBLICATIONS DEPARTMENT
The Housing Authorization Card also includes provisions for the standard $2 fee for
students desiring to have their individual picture published in the yearbook.
Asked if former head Coach
Chuck Fairbanks had any knowl
edge of the transcript tamper
ing, Walker said, “I can’t answer
that. I do not know.”
Fairbanks is now head coach
of the New England Patriots of
the National Football League. He
left the Sooners several months
ago.
The loss of Jackson, the first
black quarterback in the school’s
history could be critical to the
Sooner grid fortunes. A sopho
more this year, he was far out in
front for the No. 1 quarterback
ing job.
Asked what effect losing Jack-
son would have on the team, he
said, “We’re competitors and
winners and we have to rise to
this challenge.
“My concern right now is for
these two young men. I will en
courage them to stay and seek
an education and later perform
as athletes.”

A&M trounced Baylor 6-1 Sat
urday and defeated Rice 5-2 yes
terday to bring their SWC rec
ord to 23-12.
“We got off to a slow start at
the beginning of the year,” said
coach Omar Smith, “but lately
we’re really putting it all to
gether.
“The boys are really deter
mined to win the Southwest Con
ference championship or at least
finish really high.”
Bill Hoover continued his win
ning streak while the doubles
team of Dan Courson and Carter
Lomax suffered their first loss
in nine matches to Rice’s Jorge
Berman and Emilio Montano.
The Aggies play defending na
tional champions Trinity today
at Varsity Courts at 1:30.
“Trinity graduated some of
their team of last year,” said
Smith, “but they’re still a team
not to be taken lightly.”
The Aggies are now 13-4 in
dual matches. They lost to Hous
ton, Oklahoma, Corpus Christi
and West Texas State.
After Trinity, A&M travels to
Austin Saturday for a match
against Texas and returns here
for a makeup match against
SMU next week.
“These will definitely be our
toughest matches,” said Smith,
“but the boys are real confident
that they can win.”
The SWC meet will be held in
Austin April 26-28. The NCAA
Championships will be June 18-

Longhorn freshman Keith
Moreland has opened a big gap
over fellow frosh David Bux
kamper of A&M in the Southwest
Conference batting race.
Moreland, a Carrollton Turner
High School graduate, is batting
.462—69 percentage points over
Buxkamper.
A third sacker, Moreland is
carrying on in the fine tradition
of Longhorn cornermen who have
won seven of 20 batting titles
from 1946 through 1965.
Texas, nearing its ninth
straight SWC title or a title
share, holds a two-game lead
over the Aggies.
In the pitching department,
Texas Christian’s Ricky Means
has the most victories—five. He
has lost one game. Texas’ Ron
Roznovsky upped his record to
4-0.
The Longhorns host Rice in a
three-game set this weekend then
close the season with three games
at Texas A&M.
