Conference Bowl Fees Shape Future of Southwest Teams
The New Year’s classic rules require bowl participants to contribute 25 percent of net gate receipts or 10 000 dollars to the general fund, whichever is larger, limiting open bowls to Cotton Sugar and Orange for Southwest Conference teams. Reports say Odessa coach Joe Coleman will replace Howard Lynch at Amarillo next season as Lynch nears the end of his contract. Texas A M dominates pro baseball contacts with nine SW collegians turning pro this summer, four from A M. Dallas could crown champions across all three Interscholastic League divisions, with six city high schools in the city conference.
