Aquatians
to swim
in AIAW
nationals
The Texas A&M Aquatians, a
synchronized swim team
coached by Marti Nix, will com
pete for the first time in the
AIAW national meet this
weekend. The meet is being
held at Ohio State University.
Five members of the team will
participate in the competition:
Diana Tedder, Elizabeth
Embree, Cheryl Stuart, Dawn
Payne and Dawn Ruggles. The
Texas A&M team became a var
sity squad at the beginning of
the semester, qualifying it for
the national meet. Although the
Aggies do not receive funds
from the Athletic Department,
the varsity status enables them to
swim in meets like this one.
Synchronized swimming
combines dance, gymnastics and
swimming skills and includes
two types of competition. In one
form, figures are executed indi
vidually and judged on the de
gree of difficulty. In the other
forms, group and solo routines
are set to music and performed.
The Aggies won a meet with
the University of Texas in Au
stin earlier in the month, win
ning the top two places in the
senior, junior and novice divi
sions. Tedder, Embree and
UT’s Terry Allan won the top
three spots, and Ruggles and
Stuart took the top two places in
the junior division.
In the novice group, Anne
Sheppard, Dawn Gaston, Betsy
Robison and Maria Giamfor-
tune finished in the top four
places.
The Aquatians will host their
annual watershow April 22-24,
with this year’s show titled
“Aquanotes.” The event starts at
8 p.m. and tickets are available
in the Memorial Student Center
and through any members of
the team.

WBA champ wants out
‘Forgotten’ Weaver
a burned out boxer
United Press International
NEW YORK — People tend
to be best at what they like to do,
but Mike Weaver doesn’t like
fighting. And he’s the World
Boxing Association heavyweight
champion.
Contending heavyweights
hope he doesn’t acquire a taste
for it.
“I don’t like to fight,” said
Weaver, who has signed to de
fend his title against fifth-
ranked Randall “Tex” Cobb. “I
want to get out of it as soon as I
can.”
In fact. Weaver did not put
on a pair of gloves until he was
19.
“I was in the Marines at Camp
Lejeune and got into a shoving
match with this guy,” Weaver
said. “I hit him once an 1 knock
ed him out. He was the
heavyweight champion of the
base and the coach there asked
me to come to the gym. That’s
how it all started.”
Weaver, who has held the
WBA title in virtual anonymity,
could have made millions with
his half of the title. However, he
has been tied up in legal battles
with his manager, Don Manuel.

Last year, he was signed to meet
Gerry Cooney — who faces
World Boxing Council cham
pion Larry Holmes in a $20 mil
lion fight on June 11 — but the
WBA threatened to strip him of
his title if he didn’t meet James
“Quick” Tillis. Weaver opted to
keep his title.
“I’m the forgotten cham
pion,” said Weaver, 29. “I don’t
get the respect and recognition I
deserve as a champion. I’ve had
legal problems with my mana
ger. Instead of fighting, I’ve
been all tied up with those
things.”
Weaver, who won the title
with a 15th-round knockout of
John Tate March 31, 1980, has
fought only twice since winning
it — stopping Gerrie Coetzee in
13 rounds in October 1980, and
taking a unanimous decision
over Tillis last October.
Cobb, a 26-year-old native of
Abilene, recently suffered a
broken arm in a braw l outside a
Philadelphia bar. The arm
appears to be sound again and
Cobb will have a chance to test it
against unheralded Jeff Shell-
berg April 19 before facing
Weaver, either in late May or
late June.
