SWC, BIG EIGHT:
Two Loops Agree on Letter of Intent
DALLAS (P - The Southwest
Conference announced yesterday
it had reached an agreement with
the IBig Eight Conference under
which there will be a mutual
recognition of letters of intent in
order to better control recruiting
of football players.
Under this agreement an athlete
signing at one of the 16 schools
of the two conferences would be
ineligible to transfer to another
without loss of his freshmani and
sophomore years of competition.
The agreement was reached by
telephone between the Southwest
Conference, meeting here, and the
Big Eight, meeting in Kansas City.
The date on which athletes may
be signed was set as the first
Tuesday preceding Feb. 15. Next
year, when the agreement goes
into effect, the date will be Feb. 12.
Compromise
The Big Eight had preferred
March 1 but compromised with the
Southwest Conference, which had
a Feb. 1 date.

Howard Grubbs, executive sec-
retary of the Southwest Confer-
ence, said the agreement was in
the interest of both athlete and
the school.
It will slash the time the school
has to spend tn recruiting, remove
arguments that might arise over
a school in one conference taking
an athlete from a school in the
other conference, and therefore
cutdon on the competition for
Helps the Boy
It helps the boy, Grubbs pointed
out, because it removes the pres-
sure. The athlete no longer will
be courted over a period of months
and can apply himself to his stud-
ies in high school.
The boy will sign what is termed
a pre-enrollment application, with
no fnancial aid mentined Wen
eligibility he then will be given
financial aid.
The two conferences agreed
there would be no limit on the
number of pre-enrollment appli-
cations. The Southwest had been

MADISON (A)-Wisconsin found
the going easy in its first home
basketball game of the 1962-63
season yesterday and set down
Texas Western 73-59.
The Badgers, sixth ranked in
the nation, showed flashes of the
form that carried them to a sec-
ond place finish in the Big Ten
last season.
-Defensive Trouble
The Miners, beaten Friday
night by Marquette 77-65 in the
first game of their Wisconsin in-
vasion, had trouble defending
against Wisconsin's fast break.

ures, led by 6'8" Jack Brens with
19 points. Noland Richardson top-
ped Texas Western with 18. Wis-
consin had a shooting percentage

State cracked Kansas' defenses
for 15 straight points last night
and then hustled its way to an
81-62 victory, its first of the sea-
son.
Pete Gent led the Spartan scoy-
ing with 22 points, 14 of them
coming in the first half. Marcus
Sanders added 20 points.

over Cincinnati.
The Royals frittered away a 16-
point second half lead, mostly in
the last two minutes after defen-
sive ace Wayne Embry fouled out.
Rudy Larusso scored seven
points and Baylor two sparking
the final rally that tied it 118-all
in regulation play.
Under Protest
Cincinnati protested a decision
that nullified Oscar Robertson's
field goal attempt with four sec-
ond left in regular play. That
would have given them a two-
point edge. The basket was scotch-
ed a ruling teammate Hub Reed
had called for time-out previously.
Robertson headed both squads
with 42 points. Baylor's 33 were
tops for the Lakers.

NEW YORK (A') -- The New
York Knickerbockers defeated the
Detroit Pistons 87-78 in a Nation-
al Basketball Association game
yesterday by rallying to outscore
the Pistons 38-28 in the second
half of the low scoring game in
Madison Square Garden.
The victory, the first the Knicks
have been able to score over the

season, provided New York with
a three-game winning string.

end of the first period and by
50-49 at halftime, scored only
nine field goals in the second
half. They got 16 points in the

second half, as the second-place

place Boston 102-97 Saturday

third quarter, pulling within two

No 'Hiding Out'-
The t~vo conferences agreed that
there would have to be a 72-hour
period from the signing date before
an institution or the alumni of
the institution could pay the ex-
penses of the athlete to visit the
campus. This is to prevent a school

must be filed within one week
after it is signed. If the boy gets
a notice within two weeks that it
has not been filed, he becomes
eligible to sign at another school.
Failure of a boy to pass the en-
trance examination at one of the
schools will obviate the agreement.
He can then go to another school
without loss of eligibility.
KANSAS CITY (A')- An inter-
conference letter of intent for
high school athletes was agreed
upon by the Big Eight and South-
west Conferences yesterday and
hailed as a forerunner of similar
agreements involving all the na-
tion's major athletic conferences.
The agreemnent covers only oot-
ball. The two conferences agreed
on Feb. 12, 1963 as the signing
date for all high school athletes
in both leagues. The SWC has had
a letter of intent for several years,
the Big Eight since October.
Can't Jump
Once an athlete signifies his In-
tention of enr-olling at a school,
he cannot then change his mind
and jump to another school In
either conference, without a stiff
penalty. If he does, he won't be
eligible for two years and then
will have only two years of foot-
ball eligibility.
The faculty of men of both the
Big Eight and SWC approved the
agreement, first of its kind in the
nation, at their quarterly meet-
ings which ended yesterday in
Kansas City and Dallas. They had
met several times in recent months
to work out the agreement.

nandez was still in anguish as
police climbed into the ring to
quiet the turbulence.
Griffith was ahead oni points at
the time of the blow which brought
the fight to its unexpected end-
ing.
The time of the knockouts was
one minute, 34 seconds.
