THE BATTALION
Pag-e 4 College Station, Texas Tuesday, May 2, 1967
Offense Stopped
The defense remained top dog
in the latest first team match at
Saturday’s Kyle Field football
scrimmage.
As the spring training pro
gressed to the halfway mark, the
“maroon” defense continued to
show great promise, led by the
heads-up play of Robert Cortez,
Grady Allen and Gary Kitchens.
The defense stopped the of
fense on two series of downs and
threw them for losses each time.
As a reward, the “maroon” de
fenders went to the showers early.
In the offense’s match against
the second team defense, the run
ning of Wendell Housley led to
five scores for the maroons.
Housley scored three times and
Edd Hargett and Charlie Riggs
tallied once each in the five series
of downs.
Housley scored the first time on
a 10-yard strike through center,
culminating a 70-yard drive.
Riggs and Hargett took turns
piloting the club in the success
ful drives.
The second team offense also
was stymied by the first defense
but did manage to make three
first downs.
This week’s schedule calls for
workouts tonight and Wednes
day, Thursday or Friday and a
scrimmage Saturday.

Matson Continues Record
Setting Ways In Relays
By JERRY GRISHAM
Randy Matson continued his
record-breaking ways last week
end at the Drake Relays in Des
Moines, Iowa as he won the shot
put and the discus with tosses
of 68-3% and 189-7%.
Matson’s shot mark was a new

the dual win, he became the first
athlete to win two events over
three straight years in the 58-
year-old track meet.
In all, nine meet records were
broken and one was tied.
Jim Ryun, the world record
holder in the mile, shared equal
billing with Matson in the event
as he anchored the Kansas relay
team to a world distance medley
relay record with a 3:55.6 mile.
Ryan ran the fifth best mile
of his career as his team was
clocked in at 9:33.8, two seconds
off the world, American and na
tional collegiate record of 9:34.0
set by UCLA in 1965.

The Aggies have come through
with three victories in their last
four outings.
“They started out the year
playing like sophomores, which

run the remainder of the game.
