Fosdick keeps saying things like the team has got potential, and his assistant coaches, Larry Schueckler and Skip Cox are the best he’s ever had. The Ags are expected to do no bet ter than fourth in the Conference meet. Fosdick says, “It’s nice to see the team starting time-slashing so early in the year.” The women also made a good showing, beating Lamar 75-19. Jeannie Buckles qualified for wo men’s nationals in her Friday per formance. She swam a :29.34 in the 50-yard back event. Debbie Starr also qualified for nationals with a :25.04 50-yard freestyle. The 13th day of February just happens to fall on a Friday. That is also the same day the Texas A&M track team departs for Oklahoma City to take part in the United States Track and Field Federation meet. An omen perhaps? It’s a little late though, because ill winds have already blown Coach Charlie Thomas’ way. Thomas has his top half-miler out with an injured achilles tendon, his best hurdler is just reiovering from knee problems, the team’s most promising distance man flunked out of school and a needed polevaulter is suffering with a sore leg. These are in addition to a few malingerers who forgot what their scholarships were for. game inafi stSML [e-mar ■gest c at M It is well known the two medal-grabbers, Russia Germany, subsidize theini with government funds.

Meanwhile, the United States is on its way to making its best showing ever in the winter portion of that international extravaganza known as the Olympics. With eight medals gathered thus far, the Yanks are just four shrt of their previous high meet i 1932. It was surprising, but nice, to learn that the Olympic Committee was unafraid to take action against a Soviet athlete who had taken a pro hibited drug. This is quite an achievement for the politically conscious IOC, but the Russian national hockey’ team (comprised mainly of the same players that manhandled five NHL teams) skates on unmolested. « u £,f s - _ , Ld folio The Canadians must to; e ]| | ia( J well-occupied because tki ; } to t a nd soundly whipped in the title] 1 A nother zany affair occurra | Rice gym about a week agi 1 several former Owl bast ^ players challenged the preses JX1I- to a game.
