UCLA waits as No. 2
LOS ANGELES UP) — Coach
John Wooden stressed two main
things Thursday in preparation
for UCLA’s return game against
Notre Dame Saturday night, even
though All-America Bill Walton
is stronger than he was last week.
“We are working on our of
fense against a man-to-man
pressing defense and on our re
bounding,” said Wooden, who
denied that the over-all work is
tougher than usual in preparing
for Notre Dame.
“Although I believe both cate
gories will improve if Walton is
back to being all right, we must
still give attention to improve
ment,” Wooden said.
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.

Nixon cites
‘"Boneheads ’
DALLAS (A*)—President Nixon,
who was called a “bonehead” in
the sports world long before
Americans had ever heard of
Watergate, sent a tongue-in-cheek
telegram Thursday to the Dallas
Bonehead Club.
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.”

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. Our student body will be on trial. Manypeo? of
are expecting some sort of vindication from A&M because oft! th '. s
“Mob’s” halftime performance. Extra police will be stationed in ( f en<

I hope that these extra precautions will prove totally unnecessa; icq,. ,
