Records fell and personal best
times dominated the scene as the
men’s swimming team beat Texas
Tech, 80 to 33.
Coach Dennis Fosdick is still in a
state of shock over what the swim
mers managed to pull off. “I was ex
pecting an extremely close meet, but
the guys started swimming out of
their minds.”

meant Svante Rasmuson bettering a
1973 school record for the 200 yard
freestyle by .75 of a second. Another
example was Bob Leland’s 2:11.07
200 yard breaststroke event. This
was a drop of a second from his old
record.
Another swimmer making re
markable strides was freshman
walk-on Bruce Hoak who shattered
the old school record for the 1,000
yard freestyle event. He started
swimming as a high school sopho
more and has impressed Fosdick
enough to make the cut for the
18-man traveling squad, limited by
SWC rulings.

Yates.
The rest of the team backed Yates
up with a performance that only the
number of first place wins can illus
trate. Out of 13 events, the Ags took
10.
Even diving is well staffed, al
though only one man is diving for
A&M. He is sophomore Ronald
Faulkenbury and is turning out to be
as good a diver as the Ags have seen
in a while.

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.

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

players that manhandled five NHL
teams) skates on unmolested.
