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.

Dons leadership builds
up A&M women s athletkM
By CISSY AUCLAIR
Kay Don is head of the women’s
intercollegiate athletic program at
Texas A&M.
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.

HOUSTON — Quarterback Lynn
Dickey, who has viewed most of his
five National Football League sea
sons from the Houston Oilers bench,
says he’s looking forward to shedding
his good Samaritan role.
The hard-luck former Kansas State
star figures he can become a devil of a
quarterback for the Green Bay Pac
kers.
“My years of putting in my time on
the bench as a good Samaritan are
over,” Dickey said Tuesday, an
ticipating consumation of a rumored
deal Friday that would send him to
Green Bay in exchange for quarter
back John Hadl and cornerback Ken
Ellis.
