A&M Water Polo, Swimming
Teams Making Big Ripples
By KEVIN COFFEY
A&M aquatics have made a big
splash in recent years under
coach Dennis Fosdick and the
future seems to hold more of the
same success.
Over the last two years the
A&M water pole team has com
piled a 40-6 record while the
swimming team finished a sur
prising third at last years South
west Conference meet.
Both teams, which work hand
in hand, have done a lot of trav
eling. Last year the swimming
team went to Brazil while the
water polo squad made a trip
to California this semester. Fos
dick said that more such travel
plans are in the making.
“Swimming in the whole con
ference is improving,’’ said Fos
dick. “Times that won races
three years ago won’t even place
today.”
Fosdick attributes this rise to
excellence to competitive and in
creased recruiting by most SWC
schools.
Not only are the times improv
ing but the facilities are to. Uni
versity of Houston, TCU and
SMU all have new pools while
Texas and Texas Tech have plans
to build new ones.
A&M has not been left out in
the cold by the increased recruit
ing. All-America swimmers Tom
Heholt, Mark Dupuis, Casey Cut
ler, Jim Yates, Mike Vander-
hurst, and Gorden Brown have
all joined the Aggies fold and 30
members from last years team
are returning for another sea
son. Fosdick also recruited six
all-state swimmers among other
talented athletes.
“The Water Polo team helps
our recruiting because a lot of
out-of-state boys wouldn’t come
here without one,” said Fosdick.
“It also helps keep us in shape”.
Swimming team stars return
ing from last years team include
Eric Wolff, Steve Prentis and
Doug Meaden.
All scored heavily in last years
SWC meet with Meaden winning
the 1650 yard freestyle event.
Highlights of the 1973 season
include a dual meet with Texas
here Jan. 19 and the SWC Cham
pionships March 1, 2, 3.

Thinclads Go To Monroei
For Indoor Track Meet!
Coaches Charles Thomas and
Ted Nelson will take a 25-man
Texas A&M track squad to Mon
roe, La., Saturday to compete in
the 28-team Northeast Louisiana
University Invitational Indoor
Track and Field Meet.
“There’s a lot of good people
at this meet,” head coach Thomas
said. “It will give our athletes
a chance to compete with some
of the best in the nation to see
how they compare.
“This meet is especially good
for us in that it gives our kids
something to work toward in the
fall and the meet itself comes at
a time when you can’t work out
doors.
“It won’t work give us a total
picture of how our boys will com
pete because no one will double
up in events. Only one event per
man is best this early in the sea
son.”
Sophomore Doug Brodhead will
not compete in the meet due to
the severe foot trouble suffered
last season that would be aggre-
vated running on the wooden sur
face in Monroe.
Thomas puts most of his hope
of winning first place in A&M’s
two mile relay team of Harold
Davis, Pat Bradley, Willie Black
mon and Horace Grant.

Toughest Game So Far
Aggies Host Colonials Monda
By BILL HENRY
Battalion Sports Editor
Texas A&M will try to stretch
its undefeated streak to five when
George Washington comes to G.
Rollie White Coliseum Monday
night. Tipoff time is 7:30 p.m.
“George Washington will def
initely be the best team we’ve
played this year,” coach Shelby
Metcalf said. “They are the same
caliber team as Oral Roberts,
Houston and Brigham Young
which we have coming up on our
scheduled soon.”
“We need an opportunity to win
a big game and we’ll be given
that chance Monday night. They
are a fine, fine basketball team
with a lot of height and talent.”
The Aggies boosted their rec
ord to 4-0 with a 67-64 overtime
victory over Oklahoma State in
Tulsa Wednesday night. Senior
co-captain Bob Gobin came off the
bench in the second half to hit
five-for-five from the field and
rally the Aggies from a 10-point
deficit.
“Gobin is like a relief pitcher
in baseball for our basketball
team,” Metcalf said. “He took
the big shots in the Oklahoma
State game and made them. It
was worth the trip to Tulsa just
to see Bob play well.”
Metcalf wasn’t all smiles about
winning his fourth straight game,
however.
“It was a carry over from the
Angelo State game,” he said.
“We weren’t aggressive and that
was a real disappointment. We
didn’t get to practice before the
game and thus didn’t get to work
on our mistakes.
“We haven’t improved as much
in the past 10 days as I thought
we would. We’ve got to work on
our defense. And, if we don’t
improve, we’ll be lucky to win
one of our next seven games.”
George Washington is also 4-0
for the season with a g a m e
against Rice in Houston Saturday
before coming to A&M. The Co
lonials have beaten Loyola-Balti-
more 72-62, Long Island 77-75,
VMI 85-73, and Lehigh 85-69.
Probable starters for George
Washington will be 6-2 soph
Keith Morris (4.3) and 6-3 soph
Pat Tallent (18.5) at guards, 6-7
senior Mike Battle (23.0) and 6-4
junior Tom Rosepink (6.8) at
forwards, and 6-11 soph Clyde
Burwell (12.8) at center. Battle
is the leading rebounder with 12.3
per game while Burwell is grab
bing 11.0 caroms per contest.
Three of the Colonial starters
are off a 17-1 freshman team
which was rated No. 1 in the East
last year.
Aggie starters will likely be
6-3 senior Mario Brown (12.8) at
the point position, 6-6 junior Ran
dy Knowles (17.8) and 6-7 junior
CS Swim Club
In Houston Meet
The College Station Swim Club

in age from six to 19.

YMCA at 8 a. m. Saturday and
Sunday and will conclude each
day about 7 p. m.
Chuck Tone (12.3) atthe»i)
6-7 senior Jeff Overhouse (i
at the high post, and 6-8^
more Cedric Joseph (10.0) it
low post. Joseph is the l«t|
rebounder with 13.5 per

house 8.8.
A&M this season has aven|
86 points per game comparti
the opponents’ 72 and has

margin in four contests.

The Church..For a Fuller Life..For You
Take another look at these stairs.
You’re right, there are no landings!
Risky business climbing stairs without
landings. And stupid, too, since they don’t
go anywhere.
There are people who would sacrifice
almost anything to get to the top. They
talk excitedly about the ladder of success.
But in their eagerness to climb, they often
choose a stairway to nowhere.
One day the stone masons and cement-
pourers will catch up with the structural-
steel men. Then a building will enfold this
stairway. It will have meaning and pur
pose. It will be a stairway to somewhere.
Our churches are busy building spiri
tual values into the structure of our society.
As these spiritual values enfold man’s quest
for success, the man on his way to the top
becomes a dedicated servant of God and
the community.
