THE BATTALION Pdge 10 College Station, Texas Wednesday, February 9, 1972 Tankers host TCU TCU’s Homed Frog swim team comes to Aggieland tonight for dual meet action to be hosted by the Aggie swim team in its second home meet of the season in Downs Natatorium. A&M, who is 6-4 on the season in dual meet action, will be going for victory number seven against the Homed Frogs, with compe tition slated to get underway at 4:00 p.m. In dual meet competition last Friday against the LSU Tigers in Baton Rouge, freshman free- styler Doug Meaden toppled two school records to secure first places in the 500 and 1,000 yard freestyle events, but his pace was not enough for the Aggies to defeat the Tigers who downed the Aggie tankers by a score of 66-46. Meaden swam the 500 in the time of 4:55.35 and the 1,000 in 10:18.37 to take junior Eric Wolff’s place on the school rec ords list in those events. He was joined in his record breaking by sophomore Steve Prentice who set a pool record in the 200 yard backstroke in the Tigers’ pool. Depth, the problem that has been hampering the Aggie swim team since the beginning of the year, brought about the downfall of the team again. The team is large in numbers, but not enough swimmers have the experience to turn in qualifying times. Although A&M secured six first places out of 13, inability to qual ify enough second and third place times caused the Aggies to come up short again. Other outstanding performances were turned in by Doug Carson in the 200 yard breaststroke with a time of 2:22.0, Lester Hamann in the 200 yard freestyle in 1:51, and Eric Wolff, who swam the 100 yard freestyle in the time of 50.2. All three swam to first place points in these events. Second place qualifiers for the Aggies included Eric Wolff in the 200 yard freestyle; Steve Prentice, 200 yard individual med ley; Greg Rippey, one meter div ing; and Mike Hicks in the 200 yard backstroke. U.S. team looking forward to match with Russians SAPPORO, Japan OP) — The hockey game between the United States and Russia is certain to jam the 10,000 capacity of the Makomanai covered rink. After losing to Sweden in the Class A round robin, the youth ful, hard-checking Americans stormed back to upset Czeehos- lovakia 5-1. The Russians, mean while, had their reputation tar nished by a 3-3 tie with Sweden. “The boys have really got their tails up,” said Murray William son, the American coach. The well-conditioned, precision skating Russians have won the Olympic title the last two times but Americans still remember the historic U.S. upset for the gold at Squaw Valley, Calif., in 1960. Rick Chaffee of Rutland, Vt., and Bob Cochran of Richmond, Vt., are given the best chances of the Americans in the men’s giant slalom, although Europeans are favored. The downhill winner, Bernhard Russi of Switzerland, is not en tered. The top contenders are Gustavo Thoeni of Italy, Jean- Noel Augert and Edmund Brugg- mann of Switzerland. Two Russians are favored in the women’s 5-kilometer cross country. They are Galink Koula- kova and Alevtina Olunina. U.S. entries include Allison Owen of East Wenatchee, Wash.; Martha Rockwell of Providence, R.I.; Bar bara Britch and Marie Mahoney, both of Anchorage, Alaska. A Russian, Alexander Tikho nov, also is expected to take the gold in the biathlon, a 20-kilom- eter test of cross-country skiing and shooting from prone and standing positions. U.S. biathlon representatives, conceded little hope, including Jay Bowerman, Jr., of Eugene, Ore., son of the U.S. Olympic track coach; Peter Karns of Jack- son, Wyo.; Dennis Donahue of Essex Junction, Vt., and Dexter Morse, Aspen, Colo. Cowboy star Duane Thomas indicted on marijuana charge By CLAYTON HICKERSON Associated Press Writer GREENVILLE <A>) — Duane Thomas, the Dallas Cowboys running back, was indicted by the Hunt County grand jury Tuesday, along with his younger brother, Bertrand, on charges of possessing marijuana. They will be arraigned before Judge Hollis Garman Feb. 22 in 196th District Court. Meanwhile, their original bail of $5,000 each is continued. Thomas, who was excused from appearing before the grand jury, met with his lawyer, Larry Green, in a nearby office and then left town almost immediately. Officers told the grand jury they found two small sacks of marijuana in the car in which Duane, 24, and his 21-year-old brother were riding near Green- Schoolboys sign By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Defending Southwest Confer ence champion Texas, resurgent Texas A&M, and Southern Meth odist bagged most of the quality schoolboy football stars Tuesday as Southwest Conference football coaches coaches fanned out to harvest a bumper crop of talent. Arkansas pulled off a surprise and Oklahoma made its usual raid across the Red River to steal away one of the native sons. Baylor signed some top junior college prospects as new coach Grant Teaff operated under the recruiting gun for the first time. Texas Christian, Rice, Houston, and Texas Tech were lagging be hind in the early going—particu larly the Red Raiders who have had good success in the past sev eral years. Texas landed four of the top 14 rated blue chippers in the state in quarterbacks Larry Miller of Austin Reagan and Marty Akins of Gregory-Portland and lineback er Rick Fenlaw of Amarillo and tackle Ricky Burleson of Fort Worth Richland. The Aggies—under a full head of momentum under new coach and former Texas assistant Emory Bellard—signed All-State end Richard Osborne of San An tonio Lee, All-State tackle Dennis Smelser of Odessa Permian and Catholic All-America performer Glen Bujnoch, a 6-5, 225-pound ville Jan. 30. They said they stopped the car because it was similar to one reported stolen. In fact, it had been loaned to the football star as a promotion measure. Before going into the grand jury, deputy sheriff Norman Gray, one of the officers who arrested the Thomases, comment ed: “If I can’t get an indictment on this, I could never get an indictment.” Asked if ^ny pressure had been brought to bear on him to go easy on the Cowboy back, Gray said: “None whatever.” Gray said that when he seached the car with Highway Patrolman Wendel Jeter so as to check its engine number, they noticed the smell of marijuana smoke. Furth er search turned up the two sacks of marijuana, he said. with top teams lineman from Houston Mt. Car mel. Another highly rated player to join the fold was Dallas Hill- crest’s Jeff Hesla, an excellent defensive back. Southern Methodist grabbed All-State running backs Wayne Morris of Dallas South Oak Cliff and Tammy Hollingshead of Brownwood and All-State line man Curtis Crouch of Dumas. Arkansas surprised by taking quarterback Mike Kirkland, who was rated on the Dallas Times Herald’s top 14 blue chip list, away from Houston which was believed to have the inside track.
