Coach Pat Patterson says his team could jump to as high as second piace in the SWC stand- lings if it can get a few breaks. Last year the Aggies finished fourth in the standings behind champion SMU, the University of Texas at Austin and the Uni versity of Arkansas. The five new signees will all be eligible for varsity swimming this year, since freshman are al lowed to compete in varsity swim ming. Those boys signed were Steve Prenctice and Bobby Willoughby of Pasadena and Steve and Dan Sonnenberg of Spring Branch Memorial. Prenctice won the 100-yard back stroke and 200-yard indi vidual medley at the State High School Invitational meet on the letters, golfers sign with A&M University of Texas at Austin campus. Willoughby, Patterson says, is the key to success, noting that his success in the butterfly would make a lot of difference. Duncan Cooper of Midland has joined the Aggies. Cooper placed third in the state meet this year in diving. Twins Steve and Dan Sonnen berg, are what Patterson calls the most versatile of his new swimmers. The Texas A&M golf and ten nis teams are a long way off from their regular season but when they get there they’ll face problems. The golfers, who were second to the University of Texas at Austin last year must replace ] as their top twosome, Richard Ellis and Duke Butler. To get the ball rolling, coach Henry Ransom has signed two folfers to scholarships. Clay Do ji. zier from A&M Consolidated and thi Chet Edwards of Houston Memo- rial have signed. The Aggie netters lost only one man because he was a senior and not only return nearly their en tire team, but Jon Ragland who missed last season with an in jury. Doug Carson Steve swims the breaststroke and the sprint free-style medley and Dan the distance free-style backstroke and individual med ley. Tom Sparks, a senior from Ardmore, Okla., competes in the sprints, free-style and the back stroke. Sparks, an architecture major, was limited in the amount he swam last year due to his heavy class load, Patterson said. He also said that Sparks took courses this summer in order to be able to swim with the Aggies this fall. Eric Wolff and Mike Hicks are both top guns who were freshman last year. Wolff, from Albuqurque, swims the distance free-style. Hicks, from Farmington, N.M., swims the 200 individual medley and the backstroke. Coach Patterson said he has hopes for Doug Carson, who he said should be an All-American this year. Carson placed in the top six in every event in which he swam in last year’s conference meet. The Aggie swimmers begin competition, Patterson said, at about the same time of year as the basketball season. Six prospects for basketball Six new basketball players will be on hand this fall when the Texas Aggies open their 1970 campaign. All but one of the players will be on the freshman team. Tim Teichelman, 6-6 transfer from Blinn JC, will be bidding for a spot on the varsity this fall. Freshman prospects include Jack Vest, 6-8, from Kerrville; Johnny Mayo, 6-7, from Taft; Bobby McKee, 5-10, from Dallas Thomas Jefferson; Joe Arcienaga, 6-3, from Lynwood, Calif; and Randy Knowles, 6-6, from Geneva, Ohio.
