Matson Impressive Aggies Defeat Baylor In Dual Track Meet By GERALD GARCIA Battalion Sports Editor Texas A&M’s Randy Matson is back. The giant shot putter and dis cus thrower from Pampa had his best “double” performance of the year as the Aggies beat the Bay lor Bears, 82-53, in a dual meet Tuesday night at Kyle Field. Matson, who has been in a slump and hampered by a knee injury since he returned to the track campaign after a fling with the Aggie basketballers, threw the shot GS-KP/i and the discus 191-6^ Both tosses were from the same rings in which he had the greatest double feat in the world last year. “I haven’t practiced since I hurt my knee Wednesday and did not expect to do as good as I did,” Matson said. Emil Mamagila, A&M’s diving coach and Matson’s weight train ing coach, thought his prize pupil did very well in both events. “He was coming across the ring very well, especially in the discus. He is still at 235 pounds, but he should be at full strength by the Southwest Conference meet in Austin on May 7,” Ma magila explained. Besides Matson’s two firsts, Coach Charlie Thomas’ track- sters took seven other blue rib bons. © VOLKSWAGEN Authorized Se/ot • Service end Perte Come end See Hickman Garrett Motors 1701 South College Phone 822-01!

Wayne Brandt of Baylor, prob ably the best 100-yard man in the SWC, but who has been out with injuries for most of the sea son, won his specialty with a 9.6, but was hard pushed by Smith of A&M who had a 9.7. Smith did not have any trouble in winning the 220 as he coasted for the last 90 yards and looked over his shoulder several times to see where his closest pursurer was. Brown’s leap in the broad jump was his best since the triangular meet here over a month ago. The Aggie broad jumper who is one of the best in the conference was very pleased with his perform ance and was mobbed by his teammates after his jump. A&M will compete again Fri day in Austin in a triangular meet with Texas and North Tex as State. Following is the summary of the meet: (Only the top three finishers are listed.

Superman, in this instance, is Texas A&M’s world champion shot putter, Randy Matson. Immediately behind him is a cigar-smoking Texas transplant, Emil Mamaliga, in his youth a target of beach bully sand kickers. “I was like a skinny coat hanger until I started working with weights,” the well-built div ing coach commented. “My broth er and I niade some weights out of pipe and concrete when I was 13.” Buoyed by weight programs, Mamaliga earned All - America swimming honors at McKinley High School in Canton, Ohio. He proved weights and swimming mix well by capturing All-Ameri ca laurels on Ohio State’s nation al championship swimming teams. THE HUSKY physical educa tion professor came to A&M in 1947. to assist in swimming and diving coaching. He has become a noted weights’ specialist and rehabilitation expert. His book: “Body Development Through Weight Training” is used in col leges and high schools throughout the nation. Mamaliga’s remarks are pride ful about his most famous pro tege. “Randy’s a good one,” he smiles. “He has a wonderful sense of humor. He wants to get so big and strong he can tear a door off its hinges.” Matson and Mamaliga huddle daily to draw “battle plans” for the Big “R” to regain weight and strength. “Randy dipped to 235 pounds because of the flu,” Mamaliga ex plained. “He began a program March 20 and pushed his pounds to 242 for the Texas Relays last weekend.” MATSON WEIGHED 258 when he hurled the 16-pound shot a world record 70 feet, 7% inches last May. He scaled 260 for his 1964 Olympics’ Silver Medal Per formance. “Randy has to add weight and strength to regain his balance point in the ring,” Mamaliga re marked. “He’s limited by an in jured knee. As the knee flexi bility improves, we will alter his weights program to build strength and resistance.” Unlike many track fans, Mama liga is happy Randy played bas ketball. “Randy is better all-around for having participated,” he said. The weighty problem of wheth er the 6-6 Pampa strongboy will play football next year is often posed to Mamaliga. “No com ment” is his standard answer. ALL ATHLETES at Aggieland are eligible for weight programs directed by Mamaliga. Two of A&M’s elite exes who toiled under Mamaliga’s watchful eyes are weight man Darrow Hooper and pro golfer Bobby Nichols. Weight programs tie in natur ally with rehabilitation programs, Mamaliga feels, though not all persons should lift weights. Re cuperating heart seizure victims, at Mamaliga’s suggestion, often walk in chest-deep water to build resistance. The amiable professor is as careful in prescribing programs as a doctor is with drugs. “YOU HAVE to consider your goal,” Mamaliga said. “. . . de termine exercises to be done . . . how fast . . . weights to be used . . . time for each exercise. A sure way to harm youngsters is to put a bunch of pictures on a wall and tell ’em to go work with the weights.” Basic anatomy and fundament als of body mechanics are stressed in A&M’s adapted programs. “We give students a basis on which to install programs for special needs when they become coaches,” Mamaliga explained. Mamaliga is quick to emphasize that weight training programs are not designed to make muscle men of athletes. “When athletes feel strong,” he contends, “They don’t mind get ting in there and mixing it!” Economy Shoe Repair & Boot Co. 509 W.
