The Bears showed little respect for the Aggies as they took two of the three-game series. Burl Coker scattered 11 Aggie hits, raising his record to 3-4, but it was not until the last inning that the Bears secured the victory. Wood got on base on a fielder’s choice, stole second and went to third when the catcher’s throw went into center field. With two out, Macko, who had two runs batted in, singled to left off reliever and loser Kirk Campbell, 0-1. Luke Perstridge aided Baylor with a solo homer in the sixth inning. Baylor is now 7-5 in conference play and 15-13 overall. The Aggies are 24-4 for the season and 7-2 in league play. The loss dropped the Aggies to third place in the standings behind Houston and Texas which both have 11-1 records.

Sports briefs The A&M men’s swim team left yesterday for the National long course Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) meet. The meet serves as the pre-olympic qualifying meet for the United States’ team. After last week’s dismal perform ances at the NCAA national short course meet, assistant swimming coach Larry Schueckler said the meet should be extremely fast. Few swimmers did better or met their entered times at the meet, Schueckler said. The A&M swim mers followed this rule as breaststrokers Brad Swendig, Bobby Leland, Don Wedermann and Svante Rasmuson didn’t meet their entered times. At the AAU meet, A&M entered 12 of its 15-member squad. Schueck ler said two A&M swimmers will especially benefit from the 50 meter pool length. Rasmuson, who is Swedish, had always trained in meter-length pools until he came to A&M this year. Leland swam his best time, qual ifying for the Olympic trials and sixth place national ranking, in last sum mer’s long course AAU competition. % *' -m NOON SPECIAL MONDAY-FRIDAY 11-2 DAILY STEAKS & SEAFOODS Chicken Fried Steak, French Fries or Baked Potato, Salad and Texas Toast. 317 N.

When Don began her career at A&M as an instructor in the Health & Physical Education Department, there was not even a hint of an ath letic program for women. But, some interested people, including Don, wrote up a proposal for a women’s athletic program and submitted it to the Athletic Council. Don says that Dr. Samson, Chairman of the Athletic Council helped the most in getting the pro gram off the ground. The first year the women com peted intercollegiately they paid for their uniforms, food, transportation and accommodations. The second year the program shared the Babe Didrikson Zaharias Trophy which is awarded to the best all-round wo men’s program in Texas. This year the program has a $104,000 budget. With one of the leading programs in the state, Don says her goal is to have all of the teams competing and winning in na tional competition. Twenty thousand dollars in scholarships was given to 55 women in eight sports this year. Only two full scholarships were given. The eight intercollegiate sports open for women at A&M are softball, basketball, volleyball, golf, tennis swimming, gymnastics and track. Don coached nearly all the teams the first two years. This year she has part-time coaches for the teams, but still coaches the basketball and softball teams, herself. The coaches are young and inexperienced on the most part, but Don says they do a good job with the team members. “They’re not receiving much pay, but they’re very dedicated. They also work hard at getting better players to come and participate in our program,” she said. Improvement has become a habit with the teams as they continue to place higher in state and national competition each year. The softball team was second in Texas for the second year in a row. Cindy Gough, the freshman shortstop for the team seems to have a bright future ahead of her. She also started for the basketball team. The basketball team tied for fifth in the state this year, compared to placing seventh last year. They finished the season with a 19-11 rec ord. Don noted that 60 per cent was a pretty good season for a team with seven freshmen. Don said that the volleyball team did not do as well as they could have at the state tournament, but that they got to the tournament was an improvement over last year. The gymnastics team will send five women to the Regional meet. They have taken several team honors at State, which they had not done be fore.
