These volunteer janitors comprise the sixth ranked nationally A&M water polo team. Recently recognized by the Uni versity for National Collegiate Ath letic Association competition, the A&M water polo team placed sixth in the national tourney held in Long Beach, Calif. While concluding their season with a 19-4 record, the Aggies won only one of three tournament games, which was still good enough for sixth place. Finishing ahead of A&M were Stanford, UCLA, the University of California at Irvine, Santa Barbara and Arizonia. Loyola of Chicago and Pittsburgh finished behind the Ag- gies. Coach Dennis Fosdick’s team had a chance to place higher, but fell to Arizona 12-9 in a hotly contested match. The Ags lost to UCLA 18-3 and defeated Pittsburgh 21-13. “I think we did very well for our first year in the NCAA,” Fosdick said. “Everyone seemed to be im pressed with us.” He pointed out that while most of the teams at the meet were primarily composed of water polo players (that is, players recruited because of their water polo ability), A&M is a team made up primarily of swimmers. This aids the Aggies to some degree in such areas as speed and manuev- ering in the water. after their fellow Aggies. do Despite having dominated water polo in the Southwest for the past five years, only recently has the A&M team received the recognition it takes to attract more talent. California is the nation’s Mecca for swimmers and water polo players.

Women win tfflfrl polo championm The Aggies’ semi-soft schedule at the end of their regular season was a partial reason for the team not doing better, said Fosdick. “We need to schedule some tougher teams later in the year,” Fosdick said. He added that the Ag gies usually peak (are at their best) around October. “We haven’t played anybody strong since then” he said. Texas A&M takes an annual trip to the West Coast to go against some of the sterner competi tion found amongst the California schools. They pay for the trip with the money earned from cleaning up He says A&M’s showing at the tourney will help recruiting. “I had a hard time warming up the team because of the number of ques tions I tried to answer from kids in terested in A&M,” he said. Not only youngsters became in terested as several schools, such as Loyola and Pittsburgh, are consider ing adding A&M to thier schedules on home-and-home basis. In the past, the Aggies had to supply the funds to travel and play against top flight competition.
