THE BATTALION
National Parachute Meet Set Here Saturday
About 100 Parachutists
Expected To Compete
The sky over Hearne Municipal
Airport will be invaded by a mass
of nylon and human bodies Satur
day as the 1966 National Col
legiate Parachute Meet kicks off
its aerial competition.
Approximately 100 sport-para
chutists will compete in the
various style and target accuracy
events Saturday. Oklahoma State
and Texas A&M will field the
largest teams of 19 and 18, re
spectively.
Other teams include the Air
Force Academy, The Citadel and
West Point, who placed first in
the last collegiate nationals. Also,
teams from Montana State, Kan
sas State, East Texas State, Uni
versity of Houston, University of
North Dakota and the University
of Texas will attend.
The A&M Parachute Team,
who placed second in the last
National Collegiate Parachute
Meet at Geneva, Wis., will enter
seven jumpers in the advanced
Aggies Seek
Tennis Title
Never in history have the Tex
as Aggies won the Southwest
Conference tennis championship.
But, right now they lead the
standings with a 23-1 record, have
lost only eight points in their last
62 and present a tremendous chal
lenge to defending champion and
pre-season favorite Rice.
The Aggies play Baylor here
Saturday and close out SWC play
against Rice in Houston next
Tuesday. Rice is now second at
15-3 and faces SMU and TCU be
fore finishing against the Aggies.
Following a loss to Lamar
Tech, Coach Omar Smith’s Ag
gies have run off nine straight
wins. In order, they beat LSU,
8-1; Minnesota, 8-1; Pan-Ameri
can, 4-2; Michigan State, 6-3;
Texas Tech, 6-0; Texas, 5-1;
Oklahoma City, 7-0; SMU, 6-0
and TCU, 6-0.
The six-man varsity squad in
cludes Richard Barker, Luis Ro
jas, Joe Tillerson, Dean Dyer,
Ricky Williams and Pete Faust.
If the Aggies get past Baylor,
6-0 and Rice sweeps its matches
with SMU and TCU, A&M would
need only a 3-3 split with the
Owls to win the title. Even a 4-2
loss would give the Aggies a tie.
Aggies Compete
In Triangular
Randy Matson will be out to
regain his winning ways in both
the shot and discus and Gilbert
Smith will be out to avenge an
earlier loss to Baylor’s Wayne
Brandt in the 100 when the Ag
gies, Baylor and Texas Tech clash
in a triangular track and field
meet Saturday in Lubbock.
Matson last Saturday lost for
the first time in the discus in the
Civitan Relays at Memphis, Tenn.
John Cole of Arizona State won
with 185-8. Matson threw 180-3.
Randy won the shot with a 63-
foot effort.
Brandt beat Smith in the cen
tury during a dual meet at Col
lege Station April 12. Brandt ran
9.6 and Smith was second at 9.7.
The Aggies will leave for Lub
bock Friday afternoon.

competition and 11 in the novice
class competition.
Those team members in the
advanced class include David
Decker, Bob Richardson, Skip
Heard, Dave Burrus, Mike Linz,
Fred May and Bruce Head.
The remaining team competi
tors are John Kunzman, Ken
Mattoon, Russ VanHellen, Mac
Kendrick, Dick Tracy, Randy
Panell, Tom Glaser, Mike Haynes,
Wic McKeen, Joe Evridge and
Terry Garrett.
Plans were made to house the
more than 80 visiting sport-
parachutists at the Texas A&M
Research Annex, but those plans
have had some amendments.
Being Aggie-oriented, the A&M
team failed to make arrange
ments for female jumpers.
That’s right! Some of the coed
schools are bringing coed para
chutists.
The team first became aware
of female entries when the Uni
versity of Houston sent its entry
fee and individual checks. One
of the checks was signed by a
female.
The World’s Champion U. S.
Army Parachute Team, who will
act as judges for the meet, will
make a jump early Saturday
morning to determine the wind
condition and aid the jumpers in
spotting for their target. Wind
velocity exceeding 18 knots will
probably cancel the jumping.
Aggie Gets First Taste Of
Parachute Competition
By JAMES SIZEMORE
John Kunzman, Aggie sport-
parachutist, will get his first
taste of parachute competition
in a big way Saturday as he and
17 others represent the A&M
Parachute Team in the 1966 Col
legiate National Meet at Hearne.
“He is one of our most promis
ing novice jumpers,” says Bob
Richardson, team member and
advanced jumper. To enter com
petition as a novice, the para
chutist must have less than 50
jumps. Kunzman has 43.
If the weather holds good for
the weekend, then it will rain
parachutes and a rare collection
of skydiving talent over Hearne.
In this case, spectators from the
area will be treated to a rare
view and a tremendous demon
stration of a collegiate compe
tition.
JOYOUS JUMPER
Quartermaster Fred May of the Parachute Club gives a
briefing on jumping preparation to Carol Murphy, a secre
tary at Aggieland. May was preparing for the Collegiate
National Parachute Meet at Hearne Saturday.
Read Classifieds Daily
Kunzman, a sophomore archi
tectural construction major from
Ottumwa, Iowa, is also a li
censed pilot. He is one of six
licensed pilots on the club and
has about 180 hours of air time.
Kunzman is also one of the four
active pilots who regularly fly
jump-planes as the team jumps
each weekend at Hearne Muni
cipal Airport.
Being a Yankee, it would seem
unlikely that Kunzman would
ever wind up at A&M, but, as it
happens, he ran into an Aggie-
ex. Kunzman spent four years
in the Air Force and met an of
ficer at Offit Air Force Base
who had graduated from A&M
and this officer influenced his
coming here.
Kunzman joined the parachute
team here in September, 1965,
and has been quite active since.
To retain his novice rating, how
ever, he has avoided making
many jumps lately because it
would move him into the ad
vanced parachutist class with
more than 50 jumps.
As a novice he will compete
only in target accuracy events,
but he may possibly fill out one
of the spots on an advanced team
before the weekend is over. Al
so, because of the number of
people entering competition, he
may be called on in the event
of a pilot shortage.
It should be a busy and in
teresting weekend for Kunzman
and the other 17 parachutist on
the team competition roster, but
it is a good bet that the visiting
teams will be just as busy trying
to beat the Aggie team on their
own drop zone at Hearne^
