Spikes, Doke, MeredithTop Alluth west TeairBy HAROLD V. RATLIFFDALLAS (if — Jack Spikes, Texas Christian’s mighty fullback; Don Meredith, Southern Methodist’s talented passer, and Maurice Doke, leader of Texas* steel-pronged defense, were the top players in Southwest Conference football this season.Just a step behind were Jim Mooty, Arkansas' fine all-around halfback; Wayne Harris, Arkansas’ terrific center, and Bob Lilly, Texas Christian’s massive tackle.And a close enough to whisper in the ears of those fellow* were Monte Lee, consistent Texas wingman; Don Floyd, Texas Christian’s star offensive tackle,and Rufus King, the gritty Riceguard.ROUNDING OUT the all-Southwesst Conference team selected for The Associated Pressby the seven coaching staffs were Albert Witcher, brilliant Baylor end, and Rene Ramirez the strong runner from Texas.Texas and Texas Christian each placed three, Arkansas two and Rice, Baylor and Southern Methodist one each.Spikes, Meredith and Doke were the only unanimous choice but most of the others only| lacked a vote or two.IT HASN'T happened oftenfor one team to furnish both allconference tackles as did Texas Christian. But just watching Lilly and Floyd tvork only once would convince an observer there were no finer tackles in the country. Lilly was best on defense, Floyd on offense buteach had plenty of the otherquality.*There were close races for two positions. Henry Christopher, the punting wingman ofSouthern Methodist, was just one vote away from Witcher. Charley Milstead of Texas AM, Ronnie Bull of Baylor, Marvin Lasater of Texas Christian, Glynn Gregory of Southern Methodist, Jack Collins of Texas and Lance Alworth, the Arkansas sophomore sensation, were very close to Ramirez for the fourth spot in the backfield.SPIKES LED the conference in rushing with 660 yards. Meredith topped in passing with 105 completions for 1,266 yards andMinor LeaguesStrt SessionRav, EdisonTande InClass AAAABy THE ASSOCIATED PRESSWichita Falls plays Abilene in the headliner of the quarter-5T. PETERSBURG, Fla.The minor leagues opened their 58th annual convention today faced with the perennial bonus, player and money problems.The agenda included 28 pro-! posed amendments and for the j first time in almost two decades, radio and television are not listed on the legislative docket. The minors apparently have become resigned to the fact that no relief measures against radio-TV network broadcasting into their territories are feasible as long as Congress declines to pass control legislation.SHARPEST debates duringthe five-day sessions probably will center around plans to set up an unrestricted draft of all minor leaguers and a free agent draft, attempts to amend the present first-year draft and an-about the new inter-league trading which became effective Nov. 20, and runs through Dec. 15. The big leaguers are biding their time until the major league meetings starting in Miami Beach next Monday.There is an undercurrent of talk concerning major league expansion and the proposed third big league. American League President Joe Cronin said he expected a report from his three-man fact-finding committee on expansion.Colts. 49ersDueShowdown11 touchdowns.Floyd, Meredith, Mooty Spikes are repeaters on the team from last year.
