Texas And Aggies Lead Southwest
Teams In Conference Titles Won
. By HAROLD V. RATLIFF
'#> Sports Writer
The forty-sixth Southwest Con-'
Wnence football campaign opened
mst week with Texa- favored to
7ln <« championship and by so
•ouig move out of dan«er of losinK
Ms leadership
The conference's official list of
cftamptons shows Texas lo have
won eight times and tied twice. Tex-
as A4M has eignt tiUes and one
-and Texas Christian seven
championships and one tie
Texas A&M could take over the
U it won the championship but the
Aggies are given about as much
chance as a straw in a West Texas
wind of doing it.
Actually, it would appear that
Texa* ought to have ten cham-
pionships and two ties In 1916 Tex-
•s had a 5-1 record and second
J>Lace Baylor 3-1 but the conference
lathers decided there wmild he no
champion that year tor some unex-
plained reason
Then, in 1918 Texas had t-0 with
victories over Texas Christian.
Rice. Southern Methodist and Texas
AAM. while Oklahoma had 2-f) But
no champion was declared obv-
iouslly because it was a war year
and the conference officials thouKht
the teams weren't Rood enough
Since too many top players were
in the service
In another year. 193.T it would
appear that co-champions should
llave been declared in^ead of the
Botaticm no champion " That is
the season Arkansas had a t-1 re-
cord and Baylor and Texas Christ-
ian 4-2 but Arkansas uas found
to have an ineligible player, a tei-
low who played a total of ten min-
utes against TCC, Baylor and Rice
So the championship was forfeited
and nobody got it
it would appear that Baylor and
TCU ougnt to have been declared
co-champion* since eacn lost to
Arkansas and would have had a
5-1 record wnen the Arkansas gam-
es were forfeited. Texas A A.M.

Slavs Are Angry
Over Alleged Fix
ROME — Yugoslavia jumped
angrily today into the wrestling
-( andal ro< king the Olympic gam-
It charged Russia and Bulgaria
with immorality in sports and an
"overt fix'' of a wrestling match
which. Belgrade said, cost the
Yugoslavs a first place gold medal.
Simultaneously, the Olympics
reeled under a boxing scandal, fif-
teen of the 30 ring referees and
judges were fired in the aftermath
of an incident with cold war over-
tones. It stemmed from protests
over a boxing decision awarding
a fight to a Russian over a Briton
who appeared to most ringsiders to
have clearly won.
Ousting Judges
Brings Peace
For Olympics
ROME — The International a-
mateur wrestling federation an-
nounced after a lengthy meeting
that there was a "suspicion of col-
lusion" between the Russian and
the Bulgarian, competing in the
Greco-Roma nclass.
President Roger Coulon. of the
international wrestling federation
gave this explanation of why the
Russian was allowed to kayo his
first place medal:
"The suspicion of collusion is not
proof of collusion. The Russian
wrestled to win. He also defeated
the Yugoslav. In justice, we can-
not take away his 'the Russian s'
medal."
Under the complicated Olympic
scoring system, the Russian had
to pin the Bulgarian to keep his
first place hopes intact.
In boxing. A Gillardi. an Italian
member of the judging panel of the
international amateur boxing as-
sociation. said the shakeup in jud-
ges* and referees was the result of
numerous protests from various
nations
A British boxing official threaten-
ed to pull out his team as a result
of the decision which favored Oleg
Hrignriev of Russia over Francis
Taylor of Britain. Gillardi said:
We now have the most compe-
tent judges and referees and we're
sure they can do the job in the
last two days of the boxing tour-
nament." Me added:
"It was a clear cut case of jud-
ges having their pencils ready to
mark certain boys even before the
bouts were run off."
The ousted judges, whose names
were not revealed, have been told
of their ban but have been advised
to remain on the scene to void
embarrassment, in the Olympics,
officials normally come fiom many
nations.

Russians Leading
In Games Points
ROME — Going into Satur-
day's competition. Russia led in
the unofficial team point score
with 25!>'2. The U. S was second
with 2t0 Germany third with 158.
Australia fourth with 87. and Italy
fifth with 8.V7.
The I'nited States finished seven-
th in the olvmpic water polo tourn-
ament. losing ft-4 to Romania Satur-
day in its final gam"
A 6-3 German victory over Hol-
land prevented the United States
from ending up eighth where the
Dutch finished
Romania had little trouble beat-
ing the Americans in the consola-
tion bracket game.

No Surprises
(By ASSOCIATED PRESS>
Texas schoolboy football season
got going Friday night and there
wasn't a surprise anywhere, the
favorite all came through in their
first games.
There were only a dozen games
in class 3-A and neither of the de-
fending co-champions. Brecken-
ridge and Cleburne, played. Also,
the top favorite, Sweetwater, waits
until next week to open their cam-
paign.
In class 2-A top-ranked Olney
looked good in a 20 to 12 victory
over Albany, one of the favorites
in class one -A.
Taylor, a team that could take
the championship, was impressive
in hlasted Gonzales 53 to 18. Bell-
ville, another front-runner in pre-
season estimations, beat sealy 15
to 2.
In class one - A a well stacked
Crowell whipped Iowa Park 30 to
14.
Stamford, a team that's playing
purely for fun this season, romped
over Quanah 29 to 14 to continue
an unbeaten string that started
year before last although the Bull-
dog victory over Rrady in the 2-A
finals of 1959 was forfeited. Stam-
ford was found to have had an ine-
ligible man.
Stamford can play the district
schedule but it will count neither
way. for Stamford or against the
opposition.
The top schoolboy division, class
4-A, starts competition next week
