A&M should stop its welfare program to its ungrateful brethren in the Southwest Confer- lence. Our athletic pro- Igram, specifically foot- |ball, must stop giving a Ihelping hand to these jSWC parasites. Athletic director JWally Groff said A&M fhas provided the bulk of the SWC money during the last 10 years. "In the last decade we (A&M) have easily provided the most income to the SWC," Groff said. "We put a lot of money in the till for distribution for the eight SWC members." With the Southeastern Conference signing a television deal with CBS, the SWC and Big 8 have been working with ABC on a contract of their own , which, combined with a joint ESPN deal, might be worth $80 million. But the problem with the contract is it in cludes all SWC schools. With the possible television deal with ABC, the athletically weaker schools- Texas Christian, Southern Methodist, Houston and I Rice - are still part of the SWC. Why? Until 1996, when the contract will take ef fect, the deal gives these undeserving pro grams the chance to buy time as SWC mem- bers. These schools can maneuver a deal or 1 hope the Texas Legislator can muscle A&M and the University of Texas to keep the sta- mo ; all our A'orld allte is going." sJerdstod iter jocks, pursue simi is through 1 “ work tote linment, te oftware, Ai ?s and beef nt during;: ' Sunday nijj :omputerte| crating sys " said Kesf unuchsus ar with sd| 1 1969 by A See Handout/ Page 4 Hockey team continues quest, highlights empty day for USA The Associated Press LILLEHAMMER, Norway - No medals Monday for America — not for Bonnie, and not for Picabo. A shot at one, for the U.S. hockey team after their first victory of the Olympics. A fired-up American team (1-1-3) blis tered Italy for five first period goals as they swept into the last spot of the medals round with a 7-1 victory. With Peter Fer raro scor ing twice, the U.S. grabbed a 5-0 lead be fore the first 15 minutes were gone. They out- shot the Italians 47- 16 in domi nating the game.

The gold went to Rus sians Oksana Gritschuk and Evgeni Platov, with their teammates Maia Uso va and Alexander Zhulin — the reigning world champions — taking the silver. Speedskater Bonnie Blair missed her record setting sixth medal by .03 of a second in the women's 1,500-meter speedskating, while it wasn't close at all for skier Picabo Street, who finished in 10th place in the women's combined after a second in the down hill portion. Russia's Lyubov Egoro va earned her third gold medal in Lillehammer to tie the all-time Winter Games record of six. Egorova anchored the winning Russian squad in the women's 20-kilometer cross-country relay — her ninth Olympic race and ninth medal. Blair could have be come the biggest U.S. medal winner in Winter Games history by finishing in the top three. “Three one-hundreths of a second away ... that was a real strong race for me/' Blair reflected. Her time of 2 minutes, 3.44 seconds was a personal best, and “that's what I'm most happy about,” she said. Blair, who skates for the record again in the 1,000 Wednesday, finished fourth. Gold medalist Emese Hunyady of Austria and bronze-medalist Gunda Niemann of Kubiak to leave for NFL job From staff and wire reports Texas A&M's quarterback coach will reportedly leave the Aggie football team to assume the same position with the NFL's San Francisco '49ers. Gary Kubiak has been with A&M as a running backs coach since 1992 after spending eight seasons with the Denver Broncos. Head coach R.C. Slocum named Kubiak to his current po sition after firing Bob Toledo, A&M's offensive coordinator and quarterback coach, on Jan. 3. An official announcement of Kubiak's departure is expected to come today at a 2 p.m. press conference.

Germany both wept on the ice-block medal stand — Hunyady tears of joy, Niemann tears of frustration. Hunyady, who defected from Hungary nine years ago, won Austria's first ever speedskating medal. Gold-medal favorite Niemann, who wiped out in the 3,000 last week, was two seconds slower than her personal best in her disappointing third.
