Dave Gruber scored two points, while Bill Dickup, Duane Heuer and Kurt Schroder each scored one. Dic kup made the two assists for the Ag gies. By TONY GALLUCCI Battalion Staff Writer I refer everyone to yesterday’s column in the Bryan Eagle by Sports Editor Joe Kammlah. He said it all. I am still hot under the collar about Tuesday’s game. There have been many times I have been angry about referee calls but not like this. Had I been coaching, there just might have been a riot. Some might disagree, but I think that the story above Kammlah’s col umn written by Associated Press writer Denne Freeman is basically trash. I agree with Kammlah and I’ll go a step further. I think the call by Paul Galvan actually lost the game for the Aggies. There is a nine point spread between the points A&M should have had and the points SMU earned. The Ponies won by four. Freeman banters about punishing the players and coaches guilty of misconduct and does exactly what Kammlah accuses people of doing, putting referees on a pedestal. F reeman allows no means of control ling the behavior of officials. Various quotes are given by Southwest Conference Commis sioner Cliff Speegle that amount to whitewash. I said it last week and I’ll say it again, Speegle should shape up or ship out. As might be expected referee scores are low. In fact, they are not only the lowest scores attained for refs this season, but one is the lowest I have ever given. Remember also that this grading system is based largely on home crowd reaction and the SMU fans were as disgusted as anyone at Gal van’s costly call. Galvan received a 27.50. The low score was due to several calls of which six of 11 were judged to be highly controversial. The previous low this season was earned by John Kloza with a 36.73. Now the killer. Jim Ashmore, as sisting Galvan in Dallas did a good job of assisting, at least with bad calls. Only one thing was different, Ashmore was consistent. Consis tently bad, earning him the alltime low score of -4.42. That’s negative 4.42. That’ll be tough to beat. There are few redeeming factors. But A&M Coach Shelby Metcalf said it best. “We still are the ones who can control our own destiny. Texas Tech is in town tomorrow for the biggest game of the season. If the Ags beat Tech, win all of their home games and beat Rice on the road, they get the bye to the last round of the championship tourney. I have the feeling the Ags won’t stop with anything less than the title — with or without Paul Galvan.

Zip- Associated Press INNSBRUCK — John Curry, the Olympic gold medalist in men’s fi gure skating, said Thursday night that he took “blows and knocks” to change the thinking that has domi nated judging in the sport for a de cade. “I’m proud to say I was one of the people who changed it, ” Curry said at a news conference. The skater, whose remarkable style resembles ballet more than gymnastics, said he most appreciated that old accusa tions against him — “that I wasn’t athletic enough, virile enough” — are gone. “There were times when I asked myself whether I was doing the right thing,” Curry said. The answer always was the same — persevere. “What people make of it is their own affair,” he said. “I didn’t think I lacked virility or whatever. In any case, whenever you believe something 100 per cent inside, it doesn’t matter what any body else says.” Curry, 26, a Briton who lives in New York and Denver, said his win ning freestyle program included three triple jumps and was designed so that the judges would see his ath letic abilities. “But I don’t think I made an artis tic compromise. I chose more bravado music than I had before, and it was successful.” Curry said he wanted to be the Olympic champion “who skated without making a mistake.” But he recognized it was impossi ble to please everyone. He received about 70 telegrams during the day. “There were a couple that weren’t nice -— then there always are. ” He was asked if he ever felt he had given too much to skating. “Oh, no,” he said. “I’ve done the thing I like doing best all the time. Everybody said ‘you’ll never make it.’ Well, look.” WHAT: TEXAS A&M SOCIAL AND RECREATIONAL DANCE CLASS Instructed By: Professional Dancer, Manning Smith Sponsored By: Free University Committee Begins: February 17, 7-9 p.m. Where: Room 228-229 of MSC Cost: $7.50 per person Registration is February 17 and 18 in the Student Programs Office during the hours of 10 am to 5 pm.

MCDONALD’S McDonald's intramural HIGHLIGHTS McDonald's Flickerball Fun, Fast Flickerball is a fast-paced and extremely exciting game played by teams of 7 men each. The object of the game is to move a football across a 50-yard field and either hit a 4x6 board or put the football through the 1x2 foot hole in the center. The ball is thrown at the board and 1 point is awarded if it is hit as opposed to 3 points if the ball passes through the hole. The players may move away from their goal or laterally ac ross the field, but no forward motion is allowed. The ball is moved from goal to goal by pas sing from player to player, just like a pass in football. The pass must be overhand and must employ the use of only one hand. If the ball hits the ground before the receiver catches it (an incomplete pass), it goes to the other team. If a defensive player touches it during the pass, however, it is a free ball and the first person to have pos session gets the ball. If the ball goes out of bounds, possession is determined by the last player to touch it, with the other team getting it. This does not include attempted goals that are touched by a defender before going out of bounds. As the players pass the ball around, de fenders may try to block passes but may not touch the members of the opposing team or a foul is called. No player can retain pos session for more than five sec onds, so the ball is almost con stantly in motion. When mem bers of opposing teams have joint possession of the ball, a jump ball is held, much as in basketball. As you can see, the game of flickerball incorporates ideas from both football and basket ball and has the action and speed of both. Watch and Enter # Above- Kenny Robison (white pants and shirt), of BSU shoots at the board in the foreground in flickerball competition against M-Band last week. The ball hit the board so Robison chalked up one point as his team won by a score of 10-2. Below- Vince Godinich of K-2 tries for a ringer in horseshoes competition against Brooks Schramna and Lewis Jue of F-l, who won 15-14 and 15-9. ■JHK * *7” ...
