The University of Houston’s
swim teams swept Texas A&M
Saturday in a dual meet in
Houston.
The Cougar men’s team
swam past the Aggies 77-36,
while Texas A&M’s women’s
team lost 75-72.
The women’s team won six of
sixteen events as its record fell to
3-4. The women had to swim
without number one swimmer
and team captain Tracy John
ston. Johnston was involved in a
minor car accident Friday and it
was decided that she should not
swim, Coach Mel Nash said.
Michon Breisacher won the
50- and 200-yard breaststroke,
while Maureen Beiter won two
diving events off the one- and
three-meter boards. Dee Ann
Fowler won the 200-yard but
terfly.
The women’s 400-yard frees
tyle relay team also earned a
first. Members of the relay team
are Fowler, Phillis Burns, Susan
Marks and Eileen Doull.
Nash said: “Houston has a
very small team, but with high
quality. They have several
Olympians from other countries
on their team.”
Since both women’s teams
were so close in ability, he said,
the meet involved a great deal of
strategy.
Friday, the women’s team
hosted Southwest Texas State
University, defeating the Bob
cats 77-55. The Aggies won ev
ery event.
In the men’s loss to Houston,
the Aggies received good per
formances from several swim
mers. Rick Walker, currently
12th in the nation in the 500-
yard freestyle, won three events:
the 500-yard freestyle, 1000-
yard freestyle and 200-yard in
dividual medley.
Craig Buchmann placed
second in the 50-yard freestyle.
He finished behind a swimmer
from Hong Kong who is fifth or
sixth in the world in this event,
Nash said. Mike Hoche finished
second behind Walker in the
1000- and 500-yard free-style.
Nash said that Walker’s win
in the 200-yard individual med
ley was particularly impressive.
Walker defeated Houston’s
number one swimmer by six
tenths of a second after trailing
by three seconds at the 100-yard
mark, he said. Walker competed
in this event eight minutes after
winning the 1000-yard freestyle.
“The meet was a bit dis
appointing ... we were close in a
lot of races,” he said.
The women’s team will host
Lamar University Friday and
both teams will compete at home
Saturday against Texas Tech
University.

HOUSTON — University of
Houston officials hope track
and field record holder Carl
Lewis — declared scholastically
ineligible for the spring semes
ter — will have two years of eligi
bility remaining when he re
turns to the school.
Lewis did not wear the
school’s track uniform in indoor
competition this past month.
The school is expected to con
tend that since Lewis did not
wear his Houston uniform dur
ing indoor meets in New York
and Los Angeles this month that
he did not compete as a member
of the Cougars’ team.
If that opinion is upheld by
the NCAA, Lewis, who set the
indoor long jump record earlier
this month with a leap of 28-1,
would still have two years of eli
gibility remaining.
Lewis, a junior, was declared
ineligible Saturday night. Lewis’
world-wide travel cut into his
school work and he did not pass
enough hours during the fall
semester to remain eligible.
Blazers
surprise
Celtics
United Press International
BOSTON — Boston Celtic
coach Bill Fitch, who is known to
be philosophical when his team
is winning, thinks two straight
losses at home have taught the
world champions something.
“This was a lesson,” Fitch said
shortly after the Portland Trail
Blazers had beaten Boston 123-
119 Sunday afternoon at Boston
Garden. Two days earlier, the
Celtics were upset by the Seattle
Supersonics.
The lesson, said philosopher
Fitch, was simple: don’t make
mistakes, especially mental
errors, in a physical game.
“It’s a game of mistakes and
when you make mistakes every
time down the court you’re
going to lose the game. This was
a lesson of the difference be
tween winning and losing,”
Fitch said.
The loss dropped Boston to
30-1 1, although the Celtics are
still in first place in the Atlantic
Division of the National Basket
ball Association.
