Sports Desegregated At Texas University
AUSTIN, Tex.—(UPI)—The University of Texas yesterday became the first school in the Southwest Conference to racially desegregate its sports program.
Most schools in the eight-memer conference except Rice and Arkansas were expected to slowly integrate.

Coach Darrell Royal, athletic director at Texas, said he would allow any eligible student to try out for sports.
"WE WILL RECRUT anyone who will fit in our program," Royal said. "That is anyone who qualifies academically and athletically."
Texas' football team is undefeated this season and top-ranked nationally.
Frank Broyles, Arkansas coach, said he was "too busy" to comment on Texas' action. Gov. Orval Faubus has said he would oppose any move to integrate athletics at the state university.
Rice, a private university, has a stipulation in its charter which prohibits Negroes. A spokesman, however, indicated sports probably would be desegregated when, and if, the school is integrated.
Southern Methodist University was the first team in the league to play a team with Negro athletes.
SMU, Baylor, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, and Texas Christian all were viewing the Texas decision with interest and as a guide to the future.
"I don't think it will be any problem for our athletic department," SMU's Matty Bell said. "to start recruiting Negroes if they can find thletes who meet requirements cholastically as well as athletically."
ROYAL SAID HE had no particular athlete in mind as the first Negro player in Texas' history. The school's regents ruled Nov. 9 that color bars were not part of its policy. It was left to department heads to integrate. Royal's announcement followed that directive.
The other athletic directors, whose regents have not specifically banned segregation in sports, generally were casual in their reactions.
Rice's Jess Neely said, "If they're going to integrate, I don't see anything else for them to do but go all the way. However, I don't want to ee them get all those good boys."
R. C. Goodwin, Texas Tech president, said he was sure his school would follow Texas' example, although the subject had not been formally discussed.
Trio Presents Gershwin Hits
The Ottawa University Concert Lecture Series will sponsor an appearance of the Mitchell-Ruff Trio at 8 p.m. Friday at the Ottawa University Auditorium.
The Trio, which has given concerts across the United States and the Soviet Union, will play a unique classics-jazz type of music, that will feature an arrangement of tunes by George Gershwin, called "Sketches of Gershwin."
Willie Ruff, who plays French born and bass in the trio, has an M.A. degree from the Yale Conservatory of Music.
This type of music was developed by the Trio because of the musical backgrounds of the members.
Pianist Dwike Mitchell has studied at the Philadelphia Academy of Music, and has appeared as a piano soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra.
Ruff and Mitchell have toured the Soviet Union with the Yale University Russian Choir, at a time when jazz was banned in that country.

is it me...or Jack Winter!
It's you, princess, when you have the Jack Winter look. But whoa...take a minute to learn about the subject of stretch.Because once you put yourself in Jack Winter stretch pants,you are going to get the eye test. Be darn sure you can pass. Questions. Should you wear stretch pants? What kind of figure does it take? Most all figures are flattered by stretch, whether angular, triangular, or a figure eight.Even if you have an hourglass figure where all the sand has sunk to the bottom,
stretch pants can do quick subtracting. You won't need a grease job to slip in, but there's no sag, bag or bind either. Jack Winter cuts 'em just right...lean and ladylike...proportioned in your proper leg-length. So it's you and Jack Winter getting all those straight-on, slant-eyed, turn-about-face looks. You and Jack Winter causing that campus stir.
