White Oak Roughnecks and the tough Sundown RouRhnecks battled to a 6-6 stalemate in the Class A semifinals at Buck-aroo Stadium here Saturday afternoon with White Oak DALLAS, Dec. 14 Of) The Southwest Conference decided to frettinjr the decision on penetrations, 2 to 1. The victory put White Oak into the championship finals day to defy the Texas Interscholastic League on Its rigid amateur rule Involving the letter of intent. against the undefeated and untied Mart Panthers, who smashed Jourdanton in their semifinal clash Friday night, Schoolboy athletes now mav be signed to those so-called applications for financial aid while they still have high school eligibility S2-7. It will mark the second time in history and the first time in 20 years that a Gregg county eleven has reached the left.

finals in the state playoffs The conference tried to soften Both of White Oaks penetra tioni time in the first half while Sundown sot it only penetration the blow by passing a rule that would suspend the letter of intent from becoming binding until the athlete's transcript of high school previously faced. "Our boys played a terrific game and they put out in the third quarter. that little something extra every time they needed it," he said. White Oak's first penetration came the first time the East Tex credits was accepted for college entrance. Both teams started gambling ans got the ball when they reached Sundown's 13-yard line without scoring a they lost the ball on a early, although neither of them could make it pay off.

Taking the opening kickoff. Sundown reeled he doesn't he can play." The league has held that a letter of Intent is "valuable consideration" and- violates its amateur rule. The fart that the conference won't make the letter of intent binding until the boy has entered college doesn't change the Interscholastic League's views in the least. Williams said. "The league has never accepted the Southwest Conference's view that the letter of intent is not valid until the boy enters college," Williams declared.

"Our opinion is that when a boy signs a letter of Intent that is a contract. Today's action is not going to change our rule on that." The action on the letter of intent, which included moving up the signing date in all except one sport, was co-featured with reprimands of four conference members SMU. Rice, TCU and Texas for technical violations of the recruiting rules. SMU got into the most hot water. Grubbs was instructed to write these schools, outlining the violations and to ask that in the future coaching staffs be properly instructed on the rules.

Rice and SMU were both reprimanded for transporting boys to places other than the schools seeking their athletic ability. A Rice coach was criticized for taking one boy ajong with lm to see another boy. So was SMU. SMU was reprimanded for transporting friends of prospective athletes to Dallas when they came In different conveyances than the prospective athletes. SMU was slapped on the wrist for excessive entertainment of those friends of athletes.

TCU was reprimanded because of the visit of an athlete to the campus in company of an alumnus on a day when his high school w-as In session. In this case TCU had prior knowledge of It and did not warn the alumnus. Texas' reprimanded involved a coach paying the expense of transportation from his own pocket then being reimbursed by the Alumni Assn. This was against the rules at the time it occurred. Since then the rule has been changed and it would be legal now.

None of the athletes or coaches involved were named. Under the new format of the letter of intent the boy will submit an application for financial aid but it will not be formally acted unon until a period of not less than 10 days following submission of his high school transcript to the college. During the time his application Is on file, however, other conference school can accept an application from him. furable.
