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.
Jimmy Piper had only one return,
but managed 35 yards for the
longest Frosh return.
Harris was tops in the kickoff
returns department with eight for
125 yards. His longest was for
23 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. James Selvidge
was a key man on defense with
three fumble recoveries to head
the Fish in that department.
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.
Lloyd Curington, a senior from
Houston Austin, posted the best
average with three carries for 15
yards and a five yard average.
In the scoring department,
sophomores held four of the five
top berths. 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. In A&M’s
season ender with Texas, Curing
ton caught a lateral from Long
and raced 67 yards before being
tackled. Added with Long’s seven
yards on the front, the run went
for 74 yards—A&M’s longest.
