By PAUL McGRATH Battalion StatT With all of the warm-up meets out of the way, the Texas A&M track team now focuses its eyes upon the Southwest Conference indoor meet held this Friday in Ft. Worth. The Tarrant County Convention Center will house the fourth rendi tion of what is now an annual event in the SWC. The top contenders this year include defending indoors champ Baylor, Houston, Texas A&M and last year’s outdoor champion, Texas. Texas A&M Track Coach Charles Thomas voices uncertainty about the meet. “It’s all a question mark,” he said. “There’s four teams that have a chance. I think we have a chance, but it depends on a lot of things. ” The Aggies finished sixth in last year’s meet. Thomas has not yet been able to determine his 24-man travel squad due to injuries and illness, but said he should have his team ready by Thursday. Freshmen Kent Figgs and Reggie Jameson both have leg strains and may or may not be ready for Fri day’s meet.

With a lot of help from his team mates, he said, “We tried to throw a monkey wrench into the intricate workings of the conference cog at Fayetteville. We didn’t.” But when the Ags returned home to face cqllar-dwellers TCU at home, neither Swanson nor team mate Wibie Foreman needed any help. Against TCU, Foreman con tinued his recent inspired play. He gathered a career high of 23 points to tie Steve Jones for scoring hon ors, while Swanson broke out of a recent s/ump of sorts to gather in 12 rebounds to lead the Ags. The two post-forwards picked apart the Horned Frog defense as Steve Sylestine, Dave Goff and John Schlicher kept the ball moving inside. “It’s about time we got a win,” said Swanson after the TCU game. That win moved the Ags back into .500 territory and the ensuing 93-60 victory over Rice moved them back into the winning column and upper division standings. The Ags have not finished in the lower division in six years, and the year it will happen again, is not in sight.
