Interscholastic League Announces Eligibility Rule Chan,
Press Box
Sports
By Burt Hhelton
In the realm of college foot-
hall several members of the
Lone Star conference seem
quite upset over the league's
suggestion that freshman grid-
tiers be allowed to play on the
varsity squad ... in fact North
Texas, East Texas and West
Texas state colleges are threat-
ening to withdraw for set-up
and form a new conference.
They should like for lli<>
new league to include the
three mentioned grid dele-
gations, together with Hard-
in-Kininions university, How-
ard Payne, and Oklahoma
City university.
When approached on the sub-
ject by an Abilene scribe, Coach
Frank Kimbrough, HSU men-
tor, said he had not been inform-
ed concerning such an idea and
gave no indication the Cowboys
would be interested in such a
set-up.
Another suggestion made last
year for a new conference was
to include Texas Tech, HSU,
Centenary, Louisiana Tech, Ok-
lahoma City U., and Oklahoma
A. and M. in a tri-state league.
No doubt that would be a real
conference that in a few years
would rival the Southwest loop
in interest.
The Cowboy vs. Tech con-
flicts always draw a box of-
fice sell-out, hill Tech stands
too good a chance to play
with the Southwest loop
within only a few short sea-
sons to he interested in such
a proposal. Tech is growing
and developing fast . . . not
only in enrollment, and
curriculum, lint also in atli-
letlc undertakings . . . and
something will have to he
done about the situation.

AUSTIN — The Interscholas-
tic League of the University of
Texas will announce in the
1938-3!) Constitution and rules
several changes in eligibility
rules R. J. Kidd, director of ath-
letics of the League, announced
yesterday.
"Beginning with the 1940 sea-
son the League will abolish the
eight-semester rule and the four-
year participation rule and sub-
stitute an eighteen-year age
rule," idd said. "In announcing
this change the League has in
mind two purposes. First, to
permit the participation period
to correspond with the age pro-
vision of the State Department
of Education, and second, to
equalize competition between the
11 and 12-year high schools", he
continued.
Were 11 Yr. Systems
"In 1932, when the Texas high
schools adopted the eight-sem-
ester rule, practically all the
high schools were 11-year sys-
tems. Prior to the adoption of
the eight-semester rule a con-
testant was allowed ten semes-
ters in high school before he be-
e: me ineligible.
"Soon after the adoption of
the eight semester rule a 12-year
high school called for an inter-
pretation of the rule. League of-
ficials ruled that in 11-year
schools, a school shall start
counting semesters in the eighth
grade and in 12-year systems
I he school shall start count-
ing semesters in the ninth
grade. The 11-grade system
quite generally were of the op-
inion that the interpretation fav-
ored the 12-year systems and
since the 12-year systems were
on the increase in Texas, the
i-sue had to be definitely settled.
Start With Eighth
"Participating schools by a
vote of 281 to 181 decided to
county semesters from the
count semesters from the
eighth grade in all school sys-
tems. This adoption will exclude
seniors who made normal pro-
gress of a grade a year in 12-
grade systems from participating
in football. One can readily ss/:>
that bona fide high school stu-
dents will be denied the priv-
ilege of participation on the
high school football team. To eli- j
minate this condition League of-
ficials plan to abolish the eight-
semester rule and the participa-
tion rule in 1940 and substitute j
the eighteen-year age limit.
"In my opinion such a change .
w'll strengthen football in Tex-
as and at the same time equalize j
competition between the 11 and :
12-year systems."

Christian will be in a fight for
the conference title," Norton
declared. "I expect my Aggies
to be u; against Southern Meth-
odist for third place.
Norton indicated that he con-
sidered this season one of train-
ing for a championship team for
1939 because of its present boun-
ty of sophomore material, but
many Texas A. and M. fans are
betting now that their team
will be at the to]) of the column
this year.
