Possible Rice infractions before SWC spring meeting HOUSTON )_A once-delay ed decision on allegations that Rice University illegally distri buted tickets to players during the 1971 football season may be acted on this week at the South west Conference spring meetings. SWC faculty representatives, athletics directors and business managers will meet at the Hous ton Oaks Thursday through Sat urday to discuss rules infractions, the energy crisis, split basketball seasons and many other topics. A final decision on Rice is ex pected to be one of the prime topics of the three-day meet but Rice Athletic Director A. M. “Red” Bale said he didn’t anti cipate Rice being found guilty of any infractions. Bale said the only reason a final decision was not made at the SWC winter meeting in Dal las was because one of the per- Handball club cops awards The A&M handball team re turned last weekend from the Texas State YMCA Champion ships with several top perform ances.
