Three A&M point-getters, flyers
Don Wederman and Bill Yates along
with Olympic-class swimmer Erik
Rasmuson, were hospitalized during
the weekend for flu infection.
“I just hope the rest of the team
can stay well,” said Coach Dennis
Fosdick. Conference is two weeks
away for the men and a sick team
could prove disastrous to the 18 man
traveling squad.
The SMU meet provided another
chance to shatter school records with
a team consisting mostly of
freshmen.
that’s going to be used for confer
ence,” said Lien. “It gives you a
mental picture of what to prepare
for. The pool has a good feel and
atmosphere. ”
Another record was broken by
senior Steve Moore, in an event he
did not want to swim until this meet.
Moore bettered Larry Schueckler’s
old record by .07 seconds in the
400-yard individual relay.
“Moore’s swim gave the team the
confidence and inspiration to make a
good swim individually. He set the
pace, ” said assistant coach Schueck-
ler.
“The team swam about as well as
could be expected swimming tired
and about ready to taper, said Fos-
dick.
The coaches from the other
schools are going to have to consider
A&M a threat at conference, said
Schueckler. He said that previous to
the SMU showing, most SWC
coaches thought A&M wouldn’t have
a chance at a fourth place finish.
“When we swam UH earlier, they
had shaved down and tapered and
beat us, but at SMU we were even
and we beat them (UH),” said
Schueckler.
The final team scores at the SMU
meet were SMU 707, A&M 371, UH
347, UTA 183 and OSU 115.

Freshman Roger Lien bettered
the 1650-yard freestyle mark set by
Doug Meaden. Lien swam a
16:52.14, nearly 10 seconds better
than the old record.
“I expect to be swimming near a
16-flat by conference time,” Lien
said. This time would put the
freshmen in contention with the dis
tance swimmers, but would not start
to touch the strength of UT or SMU.
