THE BATTALION
Ste,
Thinclads Host
Triangle Meet
Here Saturday
Matson Slated
In Exhibition
The Aggie cindermen will kick
off the outdoor track and field
campaign here Saturday in a tri
angle varsity meet with Rice and
the University of Texas. Field
event start at 3 p.m. and running
events one half hour later.
In an added attraction, fantastic
freshman Randy Matson will give
an exhibition in his specialty, the
shot put. It will be the first oppor
tunity for A&M fans to see the
state champion perform in Kyle
Field.
Tossing from a new ring re
cently built within the stadium to
give onlookers a better view, Mat-
son will try to beat his Texas
record of 62-5.
AGGIE TRACK MENTOR
Coach Thomas’ cindermen open home action Saturday.
Also on the agenda is pole
vaulter Fred Hanson, Rice’s Olym
pic hopeful, who will compete un
attached. Hanson cleared 16 feet
several times in 1963.
Possum Walk Star
Gains Momentum
Though in his first year on the
Aggie varsity, John Reynolds is
fast becoming the most popular
player in the squad. The common
chant from the fans in the late
stages of a game is “We want
Reynolds.”
The 6-3 guard from Possum
Walk has gained his popularity for
his often rowdy nature and clown
ing around. But few fans realize
the talent and potential underlying
that spirit.
“I have confidence in John,”
Coach Shelby Metcalf says. “He’s
going to be a real fine ball player.
Even when he was sitting on the
bench and not playing, he worked
just as hard as the boys ahead of
him.
“Now with his improvement,
we’re able to play 10 men a game
instead of nine. And he just keeps
getting better all the time,” Met
calf added.
In Metcalf’s book, Reynolds is a
“tremendous competitor.” This is
understandable when you hear

about Reynolds’ five brothers and
five sisters.
Basketball trainer Roy Don Wil
son, the Bard of the Brazos and
A&M’s answer to Cassius Clay,
wrote this poem about Reynolds.
The Hatchet Man
He tortted out on the basketball
floor
And the fans gave out with a
mighty roar.
They knew the game wasn’t go
ing to plan
When Metcalf sent in the
Hatchet Man.
He ran down the court kind of
rough and rowdy
And if he spoke at all, he just
said “Howdy.”
He travelled to the games wear
ing black and white
And just like Sonny, his stare
was a fright.
To some he compared with Beas
as the jester,
But to his teammates he was the
great protector.
Folks all about inquire of his
hometown.
When told Possum Walk, they
seldom frown.
It is true asset to be one of
his friends.
No matter what he’ll stick to
the end.
His talk is country and the truth
is his word,
A poem of a finer guy you never
heard.
Slated to run for the Aggies in
the 440-yard relay are Robert
Martin, Pat Mitchell, Richard Hall
and Ted Nelson.
Nelson will also be seen in the
440-yard dash along with Jerry
Anderson. Running against them
will be Rice’s Jimmy Ellington and
Charles Barnhil of Texas.
Hall will run with Jimmy Tarr
and Art Johnson in the 100 while
Hall and Martin vie in the 220
against the Longhorns’ Keith
Owen, national junior college 220
champion. Gene Darby, Rice’s
sprint ace, will also be in that
event.
Sophomore Don Kooser will go
in the high hurdles against Long
horns James Cooper and Steve
Sansom, and Rice’s Southwest Con
ference winner Bobby May. May
will also compete in the 440-yard
high hurdles against A&M’s com
petent John Collins.
In the mile run, Texas’ Richard
Romo will be shooting at the meet
record of 4:08.7. The Longhorn
star posted a 4:05 last season as a
freshman.
A&M’s big Danny Roberts will
be heaving for his old meet record
of 57-1 in the shot put with team
mate Bill Ward. Roberts and Ward
will also be in the discus along
with David Glover for the Aggies.
In the high jump, Collins and
Cecil Wood will perform for the
Aggies. Collins holds the meet
standard at 6-614. Collins will
also be in the broad jump along

loff in the pole vault and Ed Redd
