Edwards Investments Since 1887- 1119 Villa Maria 846-7703 By paul McGrath Battalion Sports Writer You could say that Svante Rasniu- son came to Texas A&M because Alabama didn’t want him. But it would be stretching the truth a lit tle. Rasmuson joins Coach Dennis Fosdick’s swim team as a freshman just off a plane from Sweden. He is just one of several talented newcomers expected to rejuvenate the Aggie swim team after a disap pointing 1974 season. Rasmuson is basically a sprinter in the 100, 200 and 500-yard frees tyle categories. He is currently ranked number one in Sweden and is a candidate for the Swedish Olympic team. How the talented Rasmuson was obtained by the Aggies is almost a story in itself. He was scouted by Alabama swim coach Don Gambril in the 1973 World Championships in Europe. Gambril asked Rasmu son to come across the Atlantic to swim for the Crimson Tide (with a name like that a school has to have good swimmers). However, Rasmuson injured his back and his departure for the States was delayed a year. He spent his time recuperating while also serv ing in the military. After recovering, he was again contacted by Gambril. This time the news was not so cheery as Rasmuson learned he would not be able to re ceive a scholarship. Gambril informed Fosdick about his prospect and said to the effect that Fosdick had better grab him before it was too late because he (Gambril) did not want Rasmuson swimming against him with some other Southeast Conference school. The Aggie coach wrote the young Swede last spring and later signed him to a scholarship. Rasmuson says, “I don’t think I could have had it better anywhere else. The dorm and the food is fan tastic. “Usually in Sweden we workout three times a week and I used to teams, we swim for clubs. This is the first time I ve swam for a school team.” Rasmuson is not playing on the water polo team, but is instead try ing to get a sore shoulder back in shape. “I wish I could play water polo better because I think it is a good way of getting stronger, he said. His injury stems from an earlier injury to his back. Before, the pain was also in his shoulder and a mys tery to most doctors. Finally, a chiropractor analyzed his problem and “cured him in three days. After his recovery he moved from the number seven to the number one freestyler in Sweden. relay a week before school start#!

FREEMAN Associated Press The Southwest Conference’s six unbeaten teams place their perfect records on the line Saturday with the oddsmakers rating only Arkan sas as an underdog. The Razorbacks, who whipped Air Force 35-0 last week, tackle the sizeable chore of playing Oklahoma State in Stillwater. Oklahoma State has beaten Arkansas 26-7 and 38-6 the last two times the teams have met. Arkansas is a one-point underdog despite a high-octane backfield featuring quarterback Mark Miller, and running backs Ike Forte and 100 Jerry Eckwood — all three yards plus gainers last week. Rice, which shocked Houston 24-7 last week, and Vanderbilt, a 17-7 winner over Chattanooga, are rated even for their clash in Hous ton. Vanderbilt holds an 8-7-1 all- time edge against Southwest Con ference teams. Texas was a 19-point choice over Washington in an afternoon game at Seattle. The Longhorns strapped Colorado State last week while Washington was tumbling to Arizona State. The preseason SWC favorite Texas Aggies take on Louisiana State in the Bengal Tiger’s lair at Baton Rouge with the experts giving the Aggies, who lead the nation in defense, a four-point edge. Baylor’s well-rested Bears could be facing a furious Auburn team in Waco. Hoping to send retiring coach Ralph Shug Jordan off in Intramurals The uncompromising ones.
