Despite the silehce all the
wfo around on University of
Houston’s bid t o enter the
Sontlprask Conference, there
at* strong indications it will
edme up fdr a decision at the
May 8-9 meeting at Lubbock.
Houston obviously isn’t re-
vealing its hand and the
Southwest Conference is, as
usBal, professing to know noth-
ing about It.
The latter is a reasonable at-
titude — applications do not
go directly to Die conference.
They have to be submitted by
omk of the members because
any school to get into the
league must be invited.
Just who is going to sub-
mit Houston ish’t known but
somebody is pretty certain to
have already been lined up.
It seems quite appropriate
that Houston should make its
bid at the home of Texas
racing in tte middle of the pack I Tech, a school that fought for
SO years to get into the league
and just wouldn’t take no for
an answer.
Tech bounced back and ham-
mered on the door even after
the conference fathers took a
vote and burned the ballots so
nobody would know how they
stood.
It won’t be the first time
for the big university at Hous-
ton to try to crack the barrier.
But this time Houston has more
guns t o back its contention
that tt should be in the league
that now has eight members.
The school has grown into a
a giant (17,500 students), Its
athletic program is big time
and it offers a potential in at-
tendance that cot Id appeal to
those who consider the finan-
cial aspects.
They’re not supposed to
think about the comm erefai
angles priomrily but don’t get
the idea that the colleges and
universities don’t consi der
them. Rightfully so.
quite successfully with a laager
rttembershfp, such as theTWg
Ten And Southeastern, and that
substitution of* Houston fbr
some of the intersec tional
games now on the schedule
might be beneficial.
Any Way, it is reasonable to
Assume, advocates add, that a
conference game would be a
a better draw than the aver-
age intersectiorial game.
Texas Tech, with a smaller
potential than Houston, gave
the conference a boost. Tech
has made a fine contribution
to the league and the mem-
bers all will admit it. Could
it be that Houston might make
a similar contribution?
Anyway, prospects of Hous-
ton being considered at the
Lubbock meeting has drawn it
out of the doldrums. The cbii-
ference folks can’t give their
cut down on the colorful inter-! usual predcition that “nothing
sectional games. These are out of routine is due to come
answered with the observation up and ft will be a very quiet
that other conferences operate meeting."
Big time athletic programs
must be financed. There have
be*n too many colleges forced
to quit football because tbe
wherewithal didn’t Colne in at
the gate and even tbe faculty
had to sacrifice to make up the
deficit.
Red Drew, former coach of
Alabama, coined the expression
( perhaps with tongue in
cheek) that "ft’s not whether
you won or lost but how many
paid to see the game.”
Houston appears to be get-
ting support from several di-
rections. Student newspapers
at some of the conference
schools, notably Rice and Tex-
as, are advocating that the big
university at Houston be ad-
mitted to the conference.
The pleas of opponents are
that it would make the con-
ference too large and would i
