BC Restores Tempe In Only
Major Piece of Legislation
The only piece of important
legislation that was handled at
the annual meeting of the Bor-
der Conference directors meet-
ing which was held at Hotel
Windsor Friday noon was that
of restoring Arizona State of
Tempe to good standing in the
Conference.
Arizona State of Tempe under-
went a period of probation dur-
ing the past year for alleged eli-
gibility violations during partici-
pation in a game with another
member of the BC.
Other than this matter the
Conference handled only routine
matters voting to table most of
the real business until the win-
ter meeting in El Paso in De-
cember. Heated Discussion
One of the heated discussions
that arose at the meeting was the
one regarding a conflict of
ideals between the North Cen-
tral Association the NCAA and
the Border Conference in regard
to athletics. Three Border Con-
ference members Arizona Ari-
zona State of Tempe and New
Mexico A. & M. are members of
the NCA which does not allow
the awarding of scholarships on
athletic ability alone but con-
demns the practice of outside or-
ganizations "sponsoring" promis-
ing athletes through their four
years of eligibility.
The BC is definitely against
such outside aid and the con-
flicts which split the loop in half
has everyone discussing. Com-
missioner Emil L. Larson in the
discussion said that the confer-
ence will have to adopt a "wait
and see" policy until the next
meeting of the NCA schedule in
June which will take up the
question of scholarships.

BREAKING THE TAPE in the mile run is Stuart Dowlen as he
crosses the finish line to win the first place honors in the annual
Border Conference spring track and field event Dowlen's was th
only first place award that Hardin-Sinunona received durinf the
track meet.
No definite action was taken on
the enlargement of the confer-
ence although the door was op-
ened for future developments
along this line.
Freshman Participation
A proposal was adopted in re-
gard to freshman participation in
NCAA title playoffs ruling that
the conference follow the NCAA
policy in regard to freshmen in
such playoffs where freshmen are
not allowed to compete.
The conference further voted
to continue the freshman rule in
varsity athletics turning down a
bid to return to the old freshman
rule.
Another definite action was to
adopt the regulation set forth by
the NCAA in regard to holding
tryout camps for high school ath-
letes. The NCAA does not allow
such practice.
Transfer Rule Stands
After a -discussion it was de-
cided to keep the present rules
on transfers. A motion was made
to change the rule to make trans-
fers from junior colleges eligible
after a one year's residence and
without a one-year penalty but
this did not pass.
A proposal to bring back spring
training in basketball was tabled
until the winter meeting along
with a bid to restrict the size of
traveling squads for the various
conference sports.
Tempe was awarded the site of
the spring meet in 1954 with next
year's session going to Tucson.
Alfred Thomas Jr. registrar of
Arizona State of Tempe was elect-
ed president of the Border Con-
ference for the coming year with
Dr. E. J. Knapp chairman of the
Physics department at Texas
Western as vice-president. C. Z.
Lesher registrar at the Univer-
sity of Arizona was named secretary-treasurer
for the 22nd
straight year.

to continue in the engineering
program he will have finished all
but major requirements for a
Bachelor of Arts degree.
This co-operative plan is simi-

effect at Texas Tech in the fall
whereby a student may earn a
Bachelor of Arts degree and a
Bachelor of Science degree from
that school in a period of five
years and one summer.

ONE OF THE MAJOR CHANGES that took place at the
meeting of the "big brass" of the Border Conference was the
final decision that none of the BC schools would be allowed to
"invite" any high school students to try out for their college
team. But the prospective student could comq to the campus
however but the coach could not say a thing to him about try-
ing out or what he could help him with.
Now this seems to be asking almost too much on the part of
the coaches of the Border Conference. What harm will it be to
ask a few boys to come and try out with the team in spring
training ?
WELL THE LONG WAITED FOR EVENTS of the Border
Conference spring sports are now water under the bridge re-
sults : For the third consecutive time the H-SU golf team under
the fine tutorship of E. W. Ledbetter brought home the bacon
so to speak which was the only winners' trophy that the
Cowboys have to show off for this year; with Stuart Dowlen
Poke miler being the only other winner from the forty acres;
our tennis team played good tennis but' just didn't have what
it took; and the remainder of the track team tried but to all
thanks and good luck in the future. l
FINISHING WITH A "BANG" the Cowboy baseball team
ended the season with the best baseball record that any team
bearing the name of Cowboys has ever had. In the dressing
room before the next to the last game Coach Grba told his boys
that he enjoyed the season with them and if he could ever do
anything to help them in the future he would be glad too
words like these are the ones that the players like to hear and
will use.
To those who helped to suport the team while they were in
town thanks a great deal both from yours truly and the
players ; and to those who never made a showing a Blue Sox
Stadium well that is just too-o-o bad!
w
BOTH THE GOLF AND THE BASEBALL teams made a
great showing for themselves this year winning the BC crown
in golf and having 12-8-1 record in baseball with this in mindr
what kind of talk is this going around about dropping both
sports from the intercollegiate schedule!
