Making presence known
Foreign athlete strong competitio

The foreign athlete is rapidly
making his presence felt in intercol
legiate athletic competition.
However, there is plenty of con
troversy surrounding the ruling
which allows these athletes to com
pete in college-level competiton.
There are two major arguments
against them. First, many foreig
ners enter college as 21-year-old
freshmen. Also, the foreign athlete
may be depriving an American ath
lete of a possible scholarship.
Their supporters say he provides
more competition and as a result
team competition is closer.
TAMU is among the hundreds of
two-and four-year colleges who
have foreign athletes on scholar
ship. We have two Ghanans in track
and cross country and two
Ecuadorians in tennis. These four
student athletes have set academic
as well as athletic goals for them
selves in college.
Jacob Yemme is a sophomore
miler who ran 3:57 in his specialty at
his high school in Ghana. His Peace
Corps coach wrote the track coaches
of several colleges in the United
States and told them of Yemme’s
achievements. Many colleges of
fered Yemme a full scholarship and
he chose Texas A&M because
Coach Charlie Thomas had the most
convincing and responsive attitude.
Yemme said running for a college
in the United States has definite ad
vantages over running in his home
country. In Ghana there is more
training and fewer competitive
meets, and the colleges there offer
no athletic scholarships; only
academic aid is available.
AdolfTingan is a sophomore and a
1:52 half-miler on the track team.
He was a high school friend of
Yemme’s in Ghana and received a
full athletic scholarship too.
Tingan feels his presence will be
nefit his teammates because he will
create more competition and help
others to set higher goals for them
selves. Tingan is studying agricul-i
tural economics and hopes to workl
developing the farmlands of Ghana.
Their assessments of their value
to the team is shared by the majority
of the track and cross country team
members. One teammate said, “No
one resents them. They fit in well
with the team.”
The number one courtman on the
tennis team is an Ecuadorian, Bill
Wright. Wright, a senior account
ing major, received a half
scholarship his freshman year and a
full one the following year when he
took over the number one position
on the tennis team.
When Wright returned to school
this fall from Ecuador, he brought
back with him a recruit named
Eddwing Teran. Teran, a freshman

‘QUALITY FIRST”
ited States Olympic Pentathlete,
Ron Merrin, captured second place.
Robert Hurly, representing the
Dad’s Club, took third. Rice’s
David Ladyman grabbed fourth
place. The visual competition was
supervised by a team of four judges.
Scoring is made when one fencer
“touches” the other. The first man
to receive five touches against him is
the loser.
In the electrical foil competition,
A&M’s Denise Gordon finished in
fourth place. In electrical foiling,
the score is counted automatically
when either foil—which is wired to
the scoring box—touches the metal
lic uniform of the opponent.
This was the second match for the
team. Previously the team domi
nated a novice match staged at Rice.
The team’s next match will be at
Frank’s Sabre on October 12.
The fencing team is backed by the
A&M Fencing Club. Entirely self-
supporting, the ten man team last
year sent four members to national
competition.
The Fencing Club is headed by
Hammond and meets four times a
week. Membership is open to
everyone interested and those not
having their own equipment can
have it provided by the school.
