Fish Look Good, Too Soph Gridders Impressive Page 6 College Station, Texas Thursday, December 8, 1966 THE BATTAUON Read Classifieds A&M sophomores show plenty of promise for future Maroon and White teams, pacing the 1966 Aggie grid team to a 4-5-1 sea son, a 4-3 Southwest Conference mark and leading the squad in every department of statistics. Quarterback Edd Hargett, who didn’t play his final three games in high school or any freshman football, led the way for the sophomores. The 5-11, 185 pound slinger from Linden-Kildare set new A&M records with 285 pass attempts and 132 completions. He had a neat .498 completion aver age \ and netted 1.532 yards with his longest toss going 55 yards for a touchdown to leading Ag gie receiver Tommy Maxwell, also a sophomore. Maxwell, who missed A&M’s final game with Texas due to a kidney ailment, received 27 pass es in his nine games for 445 yards and four touchdowns. An other sophomore, Bob Long, was second in pass receiving with 23 Promising Fish Footballers Ready For ’67 Spring Drills The Fish football squad fin ished its 1966 grid season with a 2-2-1 record while producing sev eral top prospects for Aggie var sities of the very near future. Ross Brupbacher is the prime candidate among the freshman ground-gainers. Brupbacher led the Frosh with a net 247 yards in 59 carries for a fine 4.2 yard average. Bruce Kemph had 138 yards in 45 tries for a 3.1 yard average and Barney Harris net ted 137 yards in 55 carries. Jack Woodward only carried the pig skin seven times, but had the longest Frosh run of 30 yards and 44 total yards to his credit, an average of 6.3 yards. Harris, a product of San An tonio MacArthur, took the helm of the Aggie Fish most of the season. While quarterbacking the team, Harris completed 36 of 86 passes for 732 yards and seven touchdowns. His longest pass was for 59 yards and a touchdown to Bob Young against the Texas Tech Picadors. Harris had nine interceptions against him and owned a .419 completion record. Jimmy Adams, a 6-2 end from Houston Waltrip, was the lead ing pass receiver. Adams caught 14 passes in the five Frosh games for 311 yards and one touchdown. His longest reception was for 55 yards. Larry Stegent was next in pass catching with nine for 183 yards and two TD’s. Young had eight for 181 and two TD’s. Kicking specialist Mark Mose ley tied with Stegent and Harris for the scoring title with 18 Shotput King Approaches Final Season Fabulous Randy Matson, the giant weightman from Pampa High, in the Texas Panhandle, is approaching his final track sea son at A&M and coach Charlie Thomas looks for it to be his greatest. “It will be difficult for Randy to improve on his personal best of 70 feet, 714 inches in the shot but he just might,” Thomas says. “Early indications are that he is heading for a great year. Phys ically and mentally, Randy is already in the best shape ever. His weight is up to 258, exactly where it was when he set the world record.” Thomas said the most encour aging thing is that Randy is stronger than ever now. He al ready has surpassed his personal best in lifting weights and he has done this in all of his exercises. His bad knee still gives him trouble at times but it has not kept him from developing his lower body. The Aggie coach said that Mat- son has been on a more rigorous weight training schedule than ever and that he has been work ing five days a week, alternating with weights to develop his upper body one day and his lower body the next. The big Aggie hasn’t been throwing the shot and discus much but will commence working on those techniques shortly. He will compete in a few selected invitational meets before the regular outdoor season be gins. Due to a recent NCAA ruling, Matson will not make definite statements concerning which meets he will enter because if he does, he then must follow through. But, a tentative list of meets that he might enter are these: Jan. 1—Sugar Bowl, New Orleans. Jan. 7—San Francisco All-American IndooiS Jan. 14—Lubbock Indoor. Feb. 4—San Diego Sports Enterprises Indoor. Feb. 10—Will Rogers Games, Fort Worth. Feb. 11—Dallas Indoor. Feb. 18—Either Golden Gate, San Francisco, or Mason-Dixon Games, Louisville, Ky. Feb. 24—Maple Leaf Games, Toronto, Canada. points. Moseley tallied his 18 with 12 extra point kicks and two field goals. Stegent and Harris each had three touchdowns. Harris also doubled up as the Fish punter. He kicked 32 times for a 34.5 yard average. His longest boot was 52 yards against Baylor. Brupbacher had the most yard age in punt returns with 38 in three tries. Stegent had three returns, too, but only 12 yards.

Stegent had four for 82 yards. Brian Christen had two for 47 yards and the longest Fish return of 31 yards. Stegent and Gary Gruben tied in the pass interception category, each with three.

All summed up the 1966 Texas Aggie Fish showed plenty of de sire and untapped talent to aid Aggie Head Coach Gene Stallings and the Maroon and White var sity as they continue to build for 1967. catches for 250 yards and three TD’s. Senior Larry Lee topped Long’s yardage with 328, but only had 22 passes to his credit. Wendell Housley, sophomore halfback, was the leading ground- gainer for the Aggies. Standing 6-2 and weighing 200 pounds, Housley netted 548 yards in 155 carries for a 3.5 average. Junior Bill Sallee was next in yards with 231 in 51 carries for a 4.5 norm.

Maxwell led the way with four touchdowns and a two- point conversion for 26 points. Kicking specialist Glynn Lindsey, a senior, held the second position with 15 extra points and two field goals for 21 points. Long and Hargett each had three TD’s and Housley had two. A&M’s defensive safety, soph omore Curley Hallman, led the Aggies in punt returns. Hallman had seven returns, h i s longest and A&M’s best was for 20 yards. Long had five returns for 23 yards and Sophomore George Walker had four for 22 yards. Hallman also had the most pass interceptions for the Aggies with five. His 36-yard return against Baylor was the longest for A&M. Two seniors, Tuffy Fletcher and Lawson Howard, trailed Hallman with four steals apiece. Howard had the only pass interception re turned for a touchdown. Housley and Long were number one and two in kickoff returns. Housley returned 11 kickoffs for 255 yards while Long took seven for 89 yards. But Curington gets credit for the best run.
