Eddie Mc- Kaughan, 185 pound sophomore, will get the starting nod against the Bears. McKaughan was thrust into the limelight when previous starter Dan Mcllhany left the TCU game with a knee injury. Mcllhany’s playing status for the rest of the season is still indefinite. Coach Hank Foldberg praised McKaughan’s performance against the Frogs. “I thought Eddie held up real well under the pressure. He’s defi nitely a better passer than he showed against TCU. All he needs is a little more game conditioning.” McKaughan was a three-sports star at San Benito. In addition to his football quarterbacking, he ran the sprints on the track team and was a baseball pitcher. Robert Cortez, a Fish lineback ing standout, and Texas’ Jim Helms were other cogs in the Grey hound backfield during McKaugh an’s senior year. McKaughan started the first two games his Fish year but was side lined for the remainder of the sea son with a broken nose. He sat out last season as a red- shirt. “Now I’m glad they did it,” says McKaughan, “It matured me and I learned a lot s^bout football.” The accounting major seized the second team slot early in fall drills and has held it all season. If Foldberg decides to install Charles LaGrange as McKaughan’s back-up man instead of redshirting him, it will create an ironical situ ation. LaGrange, a Rio Grande City product, edged out McKaughan for high school all-district honors. Donny Anderson, Texas Tech’s junior flyer, has impressed Mc Kaughan more than any other in dividual this year, though Southern California struck him as the best team. He ran the sprint-out pass pat tern in high school and still prefers it over the dropback pass. Arrow Cum Laude, an all-cotton oxford with an all-tapered body.

Bible, speak ing on a tape recording, declared . . . “Joel Hunt was the greatest football player that ever lived.” . . . A little later Homer Norton declared, “John Kimbrough was the greatest fullback that ever lived.” Norton said his all-time back- field would contain Red Grange, Jim Thorpe, Bronco Nagurski and John Kimbrough. When Dan Mcllhany left the TCU game early in the second quarter with an injured knee, he had hit on two of six passes for 29 yards. The Aggies finished with four completions in 14 tries for 61 yards. The injury cost Mc llhany his SWC leadership in completions as he fell to second behind Terry Southall of Baylor. Had A&M‘s kicking game been mistake-free this year, the Ag gies might be 3-2 rather than 0-5. A blocked punt gave LSU a touch down and the Tigers won by 3 points. A blocked punt gave Tex as Tech a safety and a short punt set up another touchdown. Tech won by 4 points. A low snap- back and fumble on a punting situation gave TCU a touchdown and the Frogs won by 5 points. TCU Coach Abe Martin says . . . “The majority of the teams in the SWC this year are about even. Breaks will decide most of the games in the conference.” . .. Mcllhany’s knee injury could force Charles LaGrange into the quarterback picture this year. Early plans had been to hold La Grange out so he would have two more seasons of varsity play left. The Texas Aggie Band makes its first out-of-town trip Satur day for the Baylor game in Wa co.

By LAN I PRESSWOOD A broad-shouldered young- man stepped into a Tot shot put arena Friday night and fired a shot heard roic the world. Aggies everywhere rejoiced when news of Randy Mi son’s Olympic performance was flashed back to the stati He was edged by a mere five inches by Dallas Long for gold medal. Long immediately announced his retirems from the shot put ring after his winning throw. This means that Texas A&M University is now t| collegiate home of the world’s finest shotputter. Matson 66’3i4” throw in Tokyo becomes more fantastic the long you think about it. Little over a year ago, a strongboy from Pampa, Tex; was creating headlines for his schoolboy shot feats. H peak performance saw him register a 66’10” throw wii the 12-pound ball. Seventeen months later, that same athlete is throi ing the 16-pound college shot virtually as far. In his ton: drive to the Olympic silver medal the A&M sophomore t; left sports writers and weightmen alike staggering ini wake. Many forget that Randy also set a national scholasr schoolboy record in the discus and that some observers co; sider that his potentially best event. He was awarded first team all-state basketball honoi while playing for Pampa’s 4-A Harvesters. Ag Baskets Coach Shelby Metcalf last year said, “They’d have to pc up steel backboards if Randy decided to come out.” Mate is still debating whether or not to compete for the Cad; cage team next season. His high school track coach said that he could havJ picked out any event on the program and reached tli summit of it if he worked hard enough. The in-the-flesh object of this lavish praise is a seri ous, unaffected, likeable student. He posted a 2.5 his firs: semester at Aggieland. The Aggie Adonis has brought fame to himself, hi; school, his state, and now his nation. We offer you out congratulations, Randy — and our gratitude.
