GIGANTIC SAVINGS! OVER 5000 TITLES TO CHOOSE FROM (JUST ARRIVED] TEXAS A&M BOOKSTORE In the Memorial Student Center Has good credentials Newcomer seen as big asset By ALAN SMITH Battalion Sports Writer It seems as if Coach Dennis Fos- dick intends going the “whole hog on the aquatic scene. Not only has he swept the men’s water-polo squad to fame and fortune in tidal- wave fashion, but he also appears to have discovered another “Fos spe cial”. She appears in the form of Californian Jeannie Buckles, a 19- year old sophomore transfer from Long Beach State University. Buckles has the distinction of being the first female swimmer to receive a full scholarship at A&M, and what s more, she feels that this is only the beginning of the boosting that women s sports is getting in col leges. Jeannie Buckles "If women s sports are going to progress, the colleges are going to have to start handing out more scho larships and better facilities, said Buckles, referring to the all male athletic dorm. Anyway there are no feathers in the fact that she is quality. It is no surprise to find out that she was coached by the official assistant woman s swim coach for the upcom ing Olympic games in Montreal, Coach Jim Montrella. Montrella has already produced a wave of Olympic stars including Steve Jenner, Ann Symmons, Dana Schrader and Susie Atwood, who splashed her way to a bronze medal and a fourth place in Munich. Buckles specialty is backstroke, which was the only weak link in Fosdick s women s squad last year. “Jeannie is the depth that we need. Last year we really hurt for a point scorer in the backstroke. She can be counted on for a place in top competition, said Fosdick, refer- Pro injuries on rise NEW YORK (AP) — “I've never seen anything like it, said Washington Coach George Allen, surveying his team’s injury list. The opinion is shared by others in the National Football League, whose list of players injured badly enough to miss the entire season now num bers 127. determine if the number of injured is at record levels. It does appear to be higher than normal. With six weeks gone, and eight remaining, in the NFL s regular season, the 127 players on the season-long injured reserve list equals more than 11 percent of the 1,118 athletes it takes to stock each of the 26 clubs with 43 players.

Asked about her personal ambi tions, Buckles said, “I would really like to win state, and make it to the finals at nationals. I would also like to make it to the Olympic trials in June. Her personal bests so far are ex cellent, 62 seconds in the 100-yard backstroke, 2.17 in the 200-\ aid backstroke, and 55 seconds in the 100-yard freesty le — which is no f ish story. “I was offered a scholarship to Colorado University, but I turned it down to come here, the spirit here is fantastic, and the people are so friendly, she said. “The weather here is great, it’s so nice to see blue sky all the time. (Her home is 20 minutes from Los Angeles, where blue is any thing but a dirty word.) The former Lakewood Aquatic Club star is an agriculture major. She is a potential star, and should prove to he a tremendous asset to the swim team, and especially to A&M. Coach Fosdick s recruiting trip to California this summer in fact yielded two twinklers — the other will arrive in the spring from Saddleback Junior College in California.
