A&M’s swim team hits the water
here tonight in the Southwest con
ference meet with probably the
best chance in 10 years to cop the
crown according to coach Art Ad
amson.
“If we do a teriffic job in the
backsti'oke, breaststi’oke and the
sprints, we could win,” said Adam
son.
About 70 crack swimmers and
divers from SMU, Texas, Rice and
A&M assault the records in one
of the most balanced meets in con
ference histoi'y. SMU, Texas and
A&M all have strong contenders
and any of the three could take
the title. Rice, the only other team
in the meet, is. not a contender.
SMU is defending champion and
eased to victory in the recent SWC
relays at Dallas by two points over
second place A&M, while the Ag
gies finished two above Texas.
Since then the Cadets have top
pled both SMU and Texas in dual
meets. A&M throttled favored
Texas in Austin 44-40 and crush
ed SMU in Dallas 52-32. Texas
downed SMU in Austin last week
51-33.
If past performances indicate
anything the Aggies could write
two new records. A&M’s speedy
300-yard medley relay trio of Nor
man Ufer, John Speich and Richard
Weick is unbeaten this season, and
has consistently bettered the exist
ing SWC recojd of 3:05.3.
In the 200-yard individual medley
Weick has splashed past all rivals,
and negotiated the distance here
earlier this year in 2:17.5, one sec
ond under the conference record.
The conference meet has two
more events than the dual meet,
an extra diving event and the 1,500
meter marathon. Texas is stronger
in both, and is expected to pick up
additional points here.
Only event on tap today is the
finals of the 1,500-meter freestyle
starting at 7:30. Texas’ Charlton
Hadden is heavily favored to win
the event.
Preliminaries in the 50-yard free
style begin Friday morning at 10.
Friday at 2:20 begins the semi
finals of the 50-yard freestyle, and
preliminaries in the 200-yard back-
stroke, 220-yard freestyle, 200-yard
