Bylaw limits staff sizes
By PAUL McGRATH
Battalion Sports Editor
Come August 1, National Col
legiate Athletic Association (NCAA)
Bylaw 12-1 goes into effect.
This legislation for all Division I
schools (schools of major calibre
constituting one of the three NCAA
divisions) concerns the limitations of
coaching staffs in both football and
basketball. Adopted in August of
1975, Bylaw 12-1 was later modified
at the annual NCAA convention last
January.
The ruling calls for the employ
ment of no more than one head
coach, eight full-time assistant
coaches and two part-time assistants
for football. For basketball, the
member institutions are limited to
one head coach, two full-time assis
tants and one part-time assistant.
The Division I schools however
may have a single volunteer coach
who must be uncompensated. In
addition, one graduate student en
rolled in the institution may assist in
coaching in either sport without fal
ling under the limitations. Payment
for services is limited to remunera
tion for normal educational ex
penses. Also, an unsaid number of
student-athletes may assist in either
sport if they remain full-time stu
dents completing degree require
ments and can receive no further
compensation other than the finan
cial aid given them as student-
athletes.

Neither the volunteer coach, nor
the graduate and undergraduate as
sistant are allowed to recruit or to
scout off campus.
Provisions are made for two addi
tional part-time coaches if an in
stitution sponsors a sub-varsity
football team. Basketball has no
such provision.
The bylaw considers such posi
tions as recruiting co-ordinator,
wieght coach, academic counselor,
dormitory supervisor and other like
postitions as an “other organized ac
tivity,” thus falling under the coach
ing limitations. An exception is
made if that individual’s function is
done department-wide, such as a
recruiting co-ordinator who super
vises recruiting for all intercol
legiate sports.
The bylaw was made and passed
by member schools following a
study concerning financial problems
in collegiate athletics. It is in the
same vein as the prior legislation af
fecting size of travel squards.
Texas A&M Athletic Director and
Head Football Coach Emory Bel
lard said he “will conform to the
rule, but not support it.” Bellard
said he thought there mav have
been ulterior motives involved
rather than financial alone. He said
the bylaw may be a disguise for a
move towards equality instead of fi
nancial stability stating that most of
the schools favoring the bylaw were
already under the limit.
“I’m not a support of this,” Bel
lard said,. “I think it is an institu
tion’s prerogative to determine the
size of its staff just as they do in the
engineering department (for exam-
ple) .”
“I’m not certain they (the NCAA)
are going to accomplish their goals,”
Bellard said. “You can pass all the
rules and regulations you want to,
but you’re not going to improve a
university by passing a rule. I don’t
think you legislate stability from an
economic standpoint. As I said, I’m
not a supporter of this, but we will
conform to it.”

Bellard said athletic programs
should be able to continue with
what has proved successful in the
past, including large coaching staffs.
Smaller schools may be using the
legislation as a device to bring the
larger institutions down to their
level’ he said.
As far as A&M is concerned, Bel
lard, who is starting his fifth year at
. the helm of the athletic department,
said his staff is set. The eight full
time assistants will be defensive
co-ordinator Melvin Robertson, of
fensive co-ordinator Tom Wilson,
offensive line coach Dan LaGrasta,
offensive backs coach Donnie Wig-
ginton, line coach Bob Stanley, de
fensive end coach R.C. Slocum,
linebacker coach John Paul Young
and defensive line coach Paul Regis
ter. The two part-time assitants will
be receivers coach Chuck Moser
and kick returns coach Dean
Campbell.

USC takes track
crown from UTE!
The University of Southern
California brought to a halt the win
ning skein of the University of Texas
at El Paso as the Trojans ran away
with the 55th National Collegiate
Athletic Association (NCAA) track
and field championships.
Southern Cal scored 64 points to
UTEP’s 44 in winning the last
Satuxday’s meet held for this bicen
tennial year in Philadelphia, Pa.
Last year the Trojans were third
behind the Miners and UCLA. For
the West T exans, it was the first de
feat in a major meet in two years.
The Miners won the outdoor and
indoor crowns last year as well as
this year with an additional victory
in cross country.
The meet was highlighted by the
world record efforts of Long Beach
State’s Dwight Stones. Stones
cleared 7-7 feet on his first attempt,
breaking the old mark which he
owned of 7-6 1/2 feet. It was his
64th lifetime attempt at the record
height.
Arkansas State’s Earl Bell, who
set a world mark in the pole vault 10
days ago at 18-7 1/4 feet, cleared
18-1 1/4 feet for a new NCAA stan
dard. Bell, holder of the previous
outdoor mark of 18-1 feet, also holds
the indoor record of 17-2 feet.
Texas A&M failed to qualify a
single man for the finals although
hurdler Shifton Baker had his best
time ever in the 400-meter inter
mediate hurdles. Baker was clocked
in 50.64 during a preliminary heat,
over two-tenths of a second faster
than his previous time of 50.88.
Baker, a junior from Elgin, did qual
ify for the Olympic trials in Eup
Ore., less than two weeksfn
now.
Sprinter Ray Brooks was disqn
ified in the 200-meter dashdmi
the prelims for running out of
lane. Tony Wheeler, a freshi
half-miler from South Afria
unable to run because of an injin
achilles tendon.
Steve Stewart, another.tjp
freshman, placed twelfth in tlie
cus defeating Texas’ defend
NCAA champion Jim McGoldm
McGoldrick scratched on his
two attempts after a poor thiw
162-0 feet.
Texas A&M assistant track
Ted Nelson expressed dispk
with the meet’s facilities at Fra
Field, saying that many events*)
run into the wind. The inside In
were noted as seeming a bits*
and therefore only five lanes#
used.
Despite this sour ending, Nel
said he was quite satisfied will
team’s performance during
year. “Our team has comeal
way this year,” he said. “(Hi
Coach) Charles Thomas andl
think it would be near theyeai
had. Were really proud of our
team, they did a good job fi
Our guys rose to the occasion
did real well.”
The Aggies lose only 11
from a youthful team which
third in the Southwest Confei
the least on any SWC school,
the returnees and incoming
emits. Nelson looks for
plateaus next season.
