The Texas Tech swim teams
were all wet after Saturday’s
meet with the Texas A&M men’s
and women’s teams in P.L.
Downs Natatorium. The
women’s victory was their
second in two days, following a
home defeat of Lamar Universi
ty Friday.
Despite an attempt by Texas
Tech to psych-out the Texas
A&M women’s team, the Aggies
scored an 83-66 victory over the
Red Raiders.
Aggie swim coach Mel Nash
said the Texas Tech women’s
team put signs, slogans and ban
ners on their swim suits. They
also brought a dummy dressed
in fatigues with “C.T.” across it
that was hanging from a cross
and a sign saying “I’m a Raider
swimming fan,” Nash said.
Texas Tech’s women also co
vered the walls around the nata
torium with Raider signs and
placed more signs in the
women’s dressing room, he said.
Nash said that the Texas
Tech women’s team was rested
before the meet and their times
reflected it. The meet began
poorly for the Aggies, with Tech
winning Five of the first eight
events.
When the teams took a break
for the diving competition at the
end of the fifth event, Texas
A&M trailed 39-31.
The Aggies won the one- and
three-meter diving competi
tions. Nash said they were unex
pected victories, since Texas
Tech has two of the top six di
vers in the state.
Darcy Wilson won the one-
meter competition and fresh
man Tracy Tips won the three-
meter competion. Tips has only
been diving competitively since
September.
Winning the diving events
helped change the tone of the
Aggies
(continued from page 13)
several early outside shots by the Aggies surprised him and his
teammates.
“I really thought we could win ... we played very well,” Thomp
son said. “Anytime we play like that, we’re going to win. They (the
Aggies) fooled us with their outside shooting. I think the refs called
a good game — they let us play, but at Baylor (where the Lon
ghorns lost 69-59 Tuesday night), they were calling everything.”
Holmes said the Longhorns’ younger players, w T ho include Har
per, starting freshman guard Jack Worthington and forward Carl
ton Cooper, must learn to handle the pressure of close games.
Cooper entered the game early in the second half to replace
Montgomery, who started the game as Wacker’s replacement.
Although Montgomery is an effective scorer, his lack of rebound
ing and aggressiveness prompted Lemons to replace him with
Cooper.
“We’re a pretty young team,” Holmes said. “They (the younger
players) are going to help us out a lot. Right now, they need to
regain their confidence.”
Following the game, Lemons said in reference to Cooper: “Late
in the game, I think we found out who our best player was.”
Texas A&M Coach Shelby Metcalf said the Aggies, who host the
Houston Cougars tonight at 7:30 in the coliseum, must start win
ning at home in order to keep pace in the SWC race.
“We need to beat Houston ... we’re 4-0 on the road (in the SWC)
and 1-2 at home,” Metcalf said.
“I talked to someone Saturday night who saw the Baylor-
Houston game (which the Cougars won 99-78 to break a four-
game losing streak), and he said he’s never seen a college team play
better. There’ll be a mismatch in size everywhere except for Reggie
(Roberts, at 6-2) and Rob (Williams, Houston guard, at 6-2), but
we’ll be giving up anywhere from one to six inches everywhere
else.”
Houston forwards Michael Young and Clyde Drexler, both 6-6,
along with 6-9 center Larry Micheaux and 7-foot center Akeem
Abdul Olajuwon, form the size differential which Metcalf referred
to. With the Aggies starting three guards and two players under
the basket, Houston will have a substantial advantage in size.
Probable starters for the Aggies will be Woods and Riley under
neath, and Roberts, Naulls and Woodley at the guard positions.

meet for the Aggies, Nash said.
The 200-yard breaststroke
completed the Aggies’ turnar
ound. The Aggies swept the first
three places with Tracy John
ston taking first, Michon
Breisacher second and Marva
Mitten third. Johnston also won
the 400-yard individual medley.
Other victories for the Aggies
were Debbie Scheider in the
200-yard backstroke, Susan
Capshaw in the 500- and 1000-

ler, Philis Burns, Scheider and
Eileen Doull in the 400-yard

The women had defeated
Lamar 85-64 on Friday, one of
the team’s biggest rivalries, Nash
said.
But the women weren’t the
only ones winning this weekend.
“The men’s meet was a joy,”
Nash said. The Aggies’ 79-33
victory ranks them fifth in the
conference behind Texas, SMU,
Arkansas and Houston. The
Southwest Conference is one of
the top two swimming confer
ences in the nation along with
the PAC-10, Nash said.
Rick Walker led the men as
they won 11 of 13 events. Wal
ker, the nation’s 12th-fastest
500-yard freestyle swimmer,
won the 1,000-yard freestyle

Walker also won the 500-yard
freestyle. Kevin Londrigan won
the 200-yard freestyle and was a

by John Wagner

Although the Texas A&M
men’s track team won only one
first place in the Dallas Times
Herald Invitational track meet,
Coach Charlie Thomas was en
couraged.
Thomas’ squad members re
turned from Dallas with several
good performances under their
belts, and he was excited about
the progress they had made in
the past few weeks.
“We’ve made some big im
provements lately,” Thomas
said. “We’ve had two good weeks
of practice since returning from
the Christmas break and we’ve
really improved since our last
meet.
Kevin McGinnis was the first-
place winner for the Aggies.
The senior from El Paso threw
the shotput 58-11 to take first in
the open shotput competition.
Senior Darryl Shoemake
