Staff Sports Writer
Do you consider yourself a sports
freak, an avid sports fan or an aver
age sports fan?
With the recent expansion of pro
sports, it’s just too hard for some
people to keep up with sports. If you
wonder what you are classified as,
here are the definitions:
A sports freak is someone who
studies sports like a daily religion.
He reads at least one major news
paper daily, the sports section only.
He gets at least two weekly
magazines. He also gets more than
four monthly magazines. Add to this
total special sports magazines and
you have a walking encyclopedia on
sports. About one per cent of the
population falls into this category.
The avid sports fan is one who
knows his local college teams and
pro teams only. He reads at least
one column every two days, but
usually only something related with
one of his teams. He knows most of
the players from his teams but that’s
about the extent of it. He usually
realizes his limitations and relies on
sports writers for his information.
About 15% of the population falls
into this category.
Last we have the average sports
fan. He follows his local college
team or pro team and thinks they
are the greatest. But only when he
talks to anyone outside of the area.
With his fellow home team fans he is
constantly complaining and griping
about his teams' play.
He always knows more than the
coach and for a ten buck ticket he
owns the team. When discussing
sports he overcomes his lack of
knowledge by telling you every
thing he knows in two minutes. He
likes to impress you with his “pro
fessionalism ”.
In which category do you think
you fall?
Let’s test your general knowledge
of sports. In baseball the National
and American League make up 24
teams. In the NFL and WFL (at its
inception) there are 38 franchises.
The NBA and ABA add 28 franch
ises. The NHL and WHA total 32
entries. This means the Big Four of
pro sports total 122 franchises.
A sports freak can name at least
120 allowing for only two mental
lapses. The avid sports fan should be
able to name at least 80. The aver
age sports fan will be less than 61.
Knowing franchises is minor to a
sports freak. He would know at least
1,500 players in the Big Four. He
studies pro box scores of every game
to gain a complete thoroughness.
Then consider all the major col
lege football teams there are and
you can see the problem for the
fans.

If you have waded this far and still
think you’re a sports freak try the
following five questions:
1. Rick Barry is currently back for
his second go around in the
NBA, but in his ABA tenure
what team did he lead to the
ABA championship?
2. What NHL goaltender played
for the Philadelphia Atoms Lac
rosse team this summer?
3. Denny McClain came to fame
with the Detroit Tigers but on
the way down made three more
stops. Name them.
4. Joe Namath was also an excep
tional baseball player in high
school turning down pro offers
from two clubs. Name them.
5. What quarterback is the only
player to be a first round draft
choice bv the AFL, NFL and
WFL?
If you come up with the answers
turn them into the Batt notice box in
the Reed McDonald Services
Building Room 216. We will publish
your name if you give the correct
answer. This will become a daily
feature of the Batt with one question
per day.

last 1,000 tickets and “if the Aggies
sell all of theirs it will be sold out.
The game will be nationally tele
