A&M Tankers Outswim Texas Tech
Ags Qualify Five Swimmers for National NCAA Competition!
The A&M swim team qualified
five swimmers for national
NCAA competition as it defeated
Texas Tech, 63-50, in a dual
meet Friday and the women took
second in a six-team relay meet
Saturday.
Both meets were held in A&M’s
P. L. Downs Natatorium.
The women’s 400 medley relay
posted a 4:42.1 minute time with
Jeanne Collins, Babs German,
Carol Hempill and Margaret Mc
Lean swimming the qualifying
minimum. Steve Prentice, men’s
team captain, swam a :54.0 sec
ond 100 backstroke in the first
leg of the 400 medley relay, giv
ing him the right to compete in
NCAA nationals.
“Many individuals swam times
as good or better than those
posted near the end of the season
last year,” said coach Dennis
Fosdick.
Mike Vanderhurst exemplified
this with his :54.4 second butter
fly leg in the 400 medley relay.
He shaved several seconds off his
fastest time of last season with
the swim.
In the 200 free style, Doug
Meaden and Jim Yates posted
good times for this time of year
with a 1:49.0 and a 1:50.7, re
spectively. In the other two indi
vidual freestyle events, freshman
Bill Cunningham proved himself
posting a :22.8 second 50 and a
:49.5 second 100.
“We’ve never swam this well
this early in the season before.
Not just single individuals did
well, but three of four people in
the same event turned in good
times. I’m very proud of both
the men’s and women’s teams,”
Fosdick said.
UCLA Still No. 1;
N.C. State Waiting
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Their heralded showdown now
less than one week away, UCLA
and North Carolina State easily
retained the two top spots in this
week’s Associated Press college
basketball poll released Monday.
The Bruins, who raised their
record to 3-0 by beating Southern
Methodist 77-60 Saturday night,
continued to head the pack, re
ceiving 1,022 points in the voting
by a nationwide panel of sports
writers and broadcasters. The
Bruins received first-place votes
from 45 of the 52 members parti
cipating in this week’s poll.
North Carolina State, 2-0 after
routing East Carolina 79-47 and
Vermont 97-42, is second with
910 points, including six first-
place ballots. The Wolfpack will
get a chance to take over the top
spot when they meet UCLA Sat
urday in St. Louis.
There were no changes among
the top five. Indiana, 3-0, held
onto the No. 3 position with 750

The women turned in good
times, but of more importance
were their first place finishes
over the University of Texas in
the 200 free and 200 medley re
lays, the two relays offered in
state competition. Texas took
first over A&M last season at the
state meet.
“There is a lot of talent to be
developed and worked with on the
women’s team, with the state
championship in its reach. All
the hard work that some of the
guys have put in is really paying
off and coming out of a winning
water polo season helps. Both
teams have ine thing on mind:
to win,” Fosdick said.

BUFFALO <A>)—O. J. Simpson
of the Buffalo Bills is within
striking distance of Jimmy
Brown’s season rushing record of
1,863 yards and a prayer away
from the 2,000-yard mark.
Can he do it with only one
game left in the regular National
Football League season ? For
that matter, will the Bills let
him?
O. J. needs only 61 yards in
the game against the Jets at New
York Sunday to wipe out the
mark that Brown set with Cleve
land in 1963.
Since Simpson has rambled for
100 yards or more in each of 10
games this season, his chances of
shattering Brown’s record are
excellent.
But to hit the 2,000-yard pla
teau, Simpson would need 197
yards, a much more formidable
task. But that kind of yardage
is within Simpson’s ability, as he
proved in the season opener at
New England when he ripped off
250 yards for an NFL record.
And in Sunday’s game against
the Patriots here, Simpson ran
for 219 yards on a snow-coated
field as the Bills trimmed New
England 37-13. The yardage gave
Simpson another NFL record—
100 or more yards in 10 regular-
season games.
That eclipsed Brown’s record
of nine. And it enabled O. J. to
tie another of Brown’s marks.
Until Sunday, Brown had been
the only player to get two 200-
yard games, rushing for 232
against Dallas and 223 against
Philadelphia en route to his 1,-
863-yard season 10 years ago.
Patriot Coach Chuck Fairbanks
said the Jets can stop Simpson
“if they break both his ankles.”
Bills Coach Lou Saban was
rather philosophical about rec
ords. “I’m not going to kill off
O.J. for a record,” he said. “Win
ning against the Jets is the only
important thing.”
Wide receiver Bob Chandler
was more enthusiastic about
Simpson’s record prospects.
“There’s nobody who wants to
get the record for O.J. more than
the guys on this team,” Chandler
said, “and that’s because none of
us have ever, ever heard him
mention the record.”
Simpson, looking forward to
the Jets game, said, “That’s go
ing to be a lot of yards to get
next week.”
He noted that the Bills have a
chance to crack Miami’s year-old
team rushing record of 2,960
yards. Buffalo needs 177 yards
on the ground to turn the trick.
“If I can break the individual
record and if the team can beat
Miami’s record, it’ll be the big
gest day of my life/’ Simpson
said.
SWC Gives Nod to Gals
DALLAS (AP) — The South
west Conference opened its doors
for women to compete in intercol
legiate athletics Saturday, raised
ticket prices, and issued six pri
vate reprimands, but failed to dis
cuss an investigation into the 1971
Rice football program.
The SWC faculty representa
tives issued a statement saying
the conference “shall be a regula
tory body for participation of stu
dents in each intercollegiate ath
letic activity in which the South
west Conference declares a cham
pionship.
“This opens championships and
competition to any student eligi
ble for participation.”
In the original wording of the
SWC constitution the word “men”
was in place of “students.”
“You might see a pretty girl
running out to the huddle to give
a play next year in football unless
that rule is changed” said execu
tive secretary Cliff Speegle.
A committee was formed to
discuss the part that women could
play in intercollegiate athletics.
The SWC faculty representa
tives did not discuss an investiga
tion triggered by a free lance
writer’s book about payoffs to
Rice football players.
“All the facts are not in on the
case,” said Speegle. “The private
investigation will be pursued. We
have a rule that the information
must be in our hands 20 days be
fore a meeting.”
The private reprimands Satur
day came from what SWC presi
dent Neils Thompson of Texas
described as “minor recruiting vi
olations.” The offenders were not
named.
The football tickets were ad
justed from $6 to $7 for intracon
ference games.
The SWC also voted for strict
ly junior varsity competition
across the board in all sports, eli
minating freshman teams. Junior
varsity football will likely be
played on Monday and the player
is eligible to compete the next
Saturday. However a player can’t
compete in a Saturday varsity
game and play for the junior var
sity the next Monday.
In other action, the SWC:
• Voted for a rotating schedule
for nine years with each team
playing the other twice a season
when Houston enters the 1975-76
SWC basketball campaign.
• Set April 5-6 as the date
for the SWC spring faculty meet
ing at Rice.
• Set April 22-23-24 as the
date for the spring tennis meet;
April 24-25 for golf; and May 18
for track all to be held at Rice
University in Houston.
• Formed three separate com
mittees of faculty representatives
who will make their own investi
gations into alleged violations of
SWC rules and report their find
ings to the conference.
• Approved letters similar to
pamphlets used in the Atlantic
Coast Conference to advise school
boy recruits just what are the
SWC recruiting rules. This was
requested by the football coaches.
• Approved a request by Rice
University that basketball player
William H. Sparker be declared
eligible because he dropped out
the first semester due to illness.
