Stanford is the nation’s No. 1 ranked team by Swimming World magazine going into the three-day meet starting Thursday. Defending champion Florida Gators are strong again, but Texas has already re ceived a confidence booster. Texas’ Lady Longhorns earned the women’s NCAA swimming and diving title last week. And the Longhorn men will be swimming in the same pool where they earned the national title in 1981. While Stanford boasts the greatest number of individual champions, the new NCAA rules allowing for 16 scored places in the finals may favor the depth of the Gators and the Horns. Texas Coach Eddie Reese said, if he had to bet, he’d put his money on his brother and the defending cham pion Gators. The Gators are coached by Randy Reese, Eddie’s brother. Florida boasts five ’84 Los Angeles Olympi ans. “They are tough because of their depth,” said Texas’ Reese. “It will be hard for any team to stay with them for three nights.” UCLA, Cal-Berkeley and USC also will field strong teams. “The last time Texas won they were at home in their own pool and it really gives them a big edge,” said SMU Coach George McMillion. The 1985 championships return all but one of last year’s individual champions. Texas Olympian Rick Carey re tired from collegiate swimming, even though he was only a junior. Olympian Pablo Morales of Stan ford, last year’s individual high point winner, heads the list of returnees.

There also will be a foreign flavor to the meet. Jon Sieben of Alabama, who won the gold medal for Austrialia in the ’84 L.A. Games, is the current world record holder in the 200-meter but terfly. Jens-Peter Berndt, the East Ger man who was ruled eligible by the NCAA in late February, has qual ified in three events for Alabama. Berndt defected in the Oklahoma City Airport in January. He will swim in the 400-and 200-yard indi vidual medleys and the 200-yard backstroke.
