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. However, Chuck But
ler, out much of the indoor season
due to illness, will he compel*

“We’ll have 24 there,”,
said. “I don’t know whichVJ

Aggie starter Wally Swanson was
asked recently for a quote concern-
ing the team s p/ay af Arkansas.
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.
The main reason for the success
this year, considered dry by many
