Walton, the 6-11 Player of the Year in college basketball the past two seasons, suffered a back injury against Washington State on Jan. 7. He didn’t return to action until last Saturday at Notre Dame, a game in which the Irish ripped off 12 consecu tive points in the final 3i/2 minutes to overcome a 70-59 deficit for a 71-70 victory, break ing the Bruins’ record 88-game winning streak. Although he scored 24 points, Walton wasn’t at top strength and was unable to perform at peak effort in that game, grab bing only nine rebounds. But he has appeared stronger in practice this week.

The President, who received the club’s Bonehead of the Year award in 1972 for sending plays to the Miami Dolphins before their losing Super Bowl effort that year, sent the message on the eve of the club’s annual banquet. The club composed of a group of Dallas business and professional “I want to extend heartiest con gratulations to A1 Hirt, who is accepting the honor this year for the no-show fans,” the President said. “I understand those are the ones who buy game tickets and then stay home to watch on TV— which Bob Hope says is like sepa rate honeymoons.” By KEVIN COFFEY, Sports Editor Crowd control at basketball games was the major complaint!^ p ropc concern of the Southwest Conference Sportsmanship Committee at;, t j ons to \ annual meeting in Dallas. Just about every school griped at every omL ^ y because ice was thrown on the court, referees were cussed-out andlieclions. complained because “A&M plays too physically.” Rules am Basketball was not the only complaint, just the major one. k rson Curt of the incidents during 1973 included Baylor’s pelting of Mario Brc-ia behind with hot dogs in Waco, SMU coach Bob Pruitt attacking BobGobii ut ca P s 0 Dallas, Rice exhibiting signs with less than publishable phrases anda prevent was cut with flying ice in Lubbock. I All these incidents occurred when A&M was the visiting team.EF 16 , m ‘ Aggie fans were not without fault. "the^exe Texas complained because we cheered when Roosevelt LeaksiM men , hurt on Turkey Day. Rice said we “overreacted” to their bir;|i e g e r epr halftime performance. Tech said we painted their campus maroomj area re white, SMU said we have “rowdy fans.” And then there is always;;Exact det matter of the Rice victory tree. 1 will i When it got to voting, TCU said they didn’t deserve .U«ges or sportsmanship award. Arkansas, 1972’s winner, felt they should 6,1 worke again. SMU seemed totally out because football coach Dave Se |®® ently admitted to illegally paying football players. A&M and Rice seerj ? ? n . doubtful at best. ' E, Texas got A&M’s vote in the first round. Tech and Baylors , rox j ma t enough votes to make it to an elimination round and the km to 500 switched to the eventual winner. Tech. A&M didn’t get a single vote Hets is i In short, Texas A&M has a reputation of being sorry losers. So# of the more notable unsportsmanlike activities in the SWC h|| involved A&M. We’ve had a few fights with Baylor that reee?«)UF extensive play in the state’s newspapers and this year’s Rice inciieir was widely publicized. ^ Time for a change Nixon said in the telegram he is “delighted” that the Bonehead Club plans to retire its award after this year. 1M “I have truly enjoyed the good humor and fun associated with the Bonehead Award, and I am grateful to all of you for having been given the opportunity to participate,” he continued. Referring to the reason for his winning the award, the President said, “My only regret is that Miami Coach Don Shula waited two years before using the Super Bowl plays I gave him.” The Dolphins defeated Nixon’s favorite Washington Redskins in the Super Bowl last year. Other winners of the Bonehead of the year award included Jim my “the Greek” Snyder and field goal kicker Tom Dempsey. The university has taken some positive steps towards elinmii this trouble and image. Student leaders from visiting schools jU i n{ invited to “sportsmanship luncheons” during football season. rj, e x 0Uc Association of Former Students is seeking ways to make the Ai| uge 0 f x image more progressive. All of these steps are taken in the rij lees, direction but the real burden of shedding this image falls on il pe 1 students of this institution. Id, am Saturday night, one of the largest A&M basketball crowds oil page i time is expected for the Rice game. There will be media representabi t° r > Ber from around the state.
