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.

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.”

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.
