Last year SMU won all the events
in the meet against A&M, but Nash
said this year the gap may have
closed a bit. “They are a little bit
weaker and we have come up a bit,”
he said.
Nash said the SMU women will
have a small team, but a high quality
one with proven national performers
and will probably hold the upper
hand.
And on the men’s ledger, Nash
said if the team wins one event it will
be an improvement over last year,
and any win after that will be icing on
the cake.
The Aggies will host TCU at 4
p. m. today in what Nash calls a tune-
up before the big SMU meet. Nash
said he will use freshmen and those
who don’t get to swim much in the
men’s matches.
But on the women’s side, Nash
said he expects it to go down to the
last event, the 200-yard freestyle re
lay. “What they did in one year of
recruiting is unbelievable,” he said.
“They really turned it around.”

The Baylor Bears have a busy
schedule planned for Saturday.
They intend to defeat the Rice
Owls, accept an invitation to play in
the Cotton Bowl on New Year’s Day
and then collectively say to the rest
of the Southwest Conference:
“I told you so.”
Unless the Owls rise up and unex
pectedly smite the Bears, the South
west Conference championship race
will officially come to an end. Baylor
already has a share of the title wrap
ped up and would grab all of the
crown, as well as a spot in the Cotton
Bowl, with a decision over Rice.
Baylor was given little considera
tion when the year began, despite
the fact the Bears were coming off a
win in the Peach Bowl and had key
personnel returning.
Coach Grant Teaff, normally the
most mild mannered of men, has
even gotten a little huffy lately about
what he feels has been a lack of
attention paid to the Bears’ effort.
“This,” he said last week after the
win over Arkansas, “has been no
miracle.”
And because Baylor would like to
earn some post-season recognition,
the Bears — if they do make it to the
Cotton Bowl as expected — would
enjoy facing a team of national
repute.
Although Teaff has not said so,
there is speculation the Bears would
really like to face Notre Dame. But
the selection of the guest team is
quite jumbled going into the
weekend, with a host of possibilities
open to the Cotton Bowl committee.
The jumbling will begin to be un
jumbled as games are completed
Saturday, because that is when bowl
committees may officially extend in
vitations.
Until then it is best to concentrate
on the games:
Baylor (8-1) at Rice (4-5) — The
possibility of an upset is not all that
remote, and if it should happen the
Texas Longhorns and SMU Mus
tangs could leap back into the Cotton
Bowl picture. Baylor has a bit of his
tory on its side, however, and will be
seeking a little revenge as well.
When Baylor won the SWC title in
1974—the first the Bears had won in
50 years — they cinched the undis
puted crown with a win over Rice.
But the last time Baylor played in
Rice stadium, two years ago, Rice
won a 24-10 upset. It was one of the
lowest moments in Teaffs tenure at
Baylor and it marked something of a
turning point in the Bears’ football
program. Since that loss, Baylor has
put together a 16-5 record, including
a win in the Peach Bowl last year
over Clemson.
SMU (7-2) at Texas Tech (4-4) —
The Mustangs are certain to receive
a bowl bid, probably to the Holiday
Bowl in San Diego to face Brigham
Young, if they beat the Red Raiders,
and may get one even if they lose.
Even though SMU’s winning streak
is only at three games, it is the
longest in the conference and the
Mustangs’ freshman quarterback
Lance Mcllhenny is building quite a
success story for himself.
SMU, however, has not won in
Lubbock since 1968. That, coin
cidentally, was the last year the Mus
tangs went to a bowl — defeating
Oklahoma in the Bluebonnet Bowl.
Texas (6-2) at TCU (1-8) — It
appears the Longhorns will be get
ting a bowl bid as well — speculation
centers on the Bluebonnet Bowl
against North Carolina — if they can
whip the Homed Frogs, who are en
joying the heady feeling of victory for
a change.
The TCU players honestly have to
feel they can whip Texas if they can
play as they did during the fourth
quarter against Texas Tech last
week. For the last dozen years,
however, this has been the most one
sided rivalry in the conference.
TCU last defeated Texas in 1967
and in the next 12 games the Lon
ghorns outscored the Homed Frogs
by an average of 45-8. Included in
those games have been such scores
as 81-16, 69-7, 58-0 and 52-7.
Texas A&M (2-6) at Arkansas (4-4)
— As amazing as it seems, this game
could wind up deciding which club
finishes last in the SWC. Neither
team has won in a while and the
Razorbacks, if they lose this one,
could be headed toward its worst
season in 27 years.
