EXPERT HELP
Tut Bartzen, former top tennis amateur and co-director
of the Texas Tennis Camp, instructs Sandra Chastain, a
camper from Amarillo, on the correct way to serve.
Randy Matson of Texas A&M
turned in dual victories in the
shot and discus events last week
end in the NCAA track and field
meet in Provo, Utah.
In the shot put ring Friday
night Matson set a NCAA meet
record with a toss of 67-9%, over
three feet beyond second place
finisher, Neal Steinhauer of Ore
gon, who is considered the second
best shot putter in the world and
is the only person to beat Matson
since the 1964 Olympics. Stein
hauer hurled the shot 64-2.
Saturday night. Mighty Matson
completed his second double vic
tory in the meet in two years as
he sailed the discus 190-4 to claim
the discus title.
Last year’s winning marks were
67-Va and 197-0.
Matson was late in entering
the meet and a wire service re
port caused concern among A&M
officials when it blamed Dr. C. H.
Groneman, the A&M athletic fac
ulty chairman for the incident.
A&M track coach Charlie
Thomas later said he was mis
interpreted and misquoted con
cerning Matson’s entry in the
track meet.
Thomas said the facts of the
matter were:
“I inadvertently failed to get
Randy’s official entry papers in
to Athletic Director Barlow
Irvin’s office on time. At Provo,
Utah, an NCAA entrance com
mittee held a special meeting and
allowed Matson to enter late since
he was defending champion in
both the shot and discus.
“I appeared before the com
mittee, apologized for the late
ness of the entry and accepted
the responsibility for its lateness.
“There were others allowed to
enter late, too. However, this was
the first time A&M had been in
volved and I guess we received
some bad publicity because Randy
is a world champion and his name
is news.”

Tennis Courts
Kept Jumping
By Campers
The Texas A&M tennis courts
have never been busier than this
week as the 143 members of the
Texas Tennis Camp have been
hard at work on the Aggie courts
from 8:15 in the morning until
5:45 in the afternoon.
The ninth edition of the camp,
and the seventh to be held at
A&M, is under the direction of
Clarence Mabry, coach of the
Trinity University team and Tut
Bartzen, a former top-ranked
tennis amateur from Fort Worth.
Twelve leading players and
coaches from throughout the
state assist the two directors in
teaching the youngsters the fine
points of the game.
The ages of the campers range
from 10 to 18 and include some
of the best high school tennis
players in the state and out of
it. There are members from
Colorado, Mississippi, Louisiana
and Kansas.
“We’ve held the camp at A&M
for the past seven years,” Mabry
said, “because we think it’s the
best possible place in the state.
There are plenty of courts for
the kids to practice and with
these new varsity courts the
benefits are even greater.”
Mabry said that the whole
goal of the camp was to get the
students to give 100 per cent
Effort toward becoming good
tennis players.
He said that the ratio between
boys and girls attending the
camp was about 50-50 with the
boys perhaps having a slight
edge.
The eight hours a day which
the campers spend on the courts
is devoted to instruction on each
stroke, practice and play. Par
ticipants are divided into divi
sions according to age and abili
ty. There are beginning, inter
mediate and advanced groups.
Much time is devoted to the
basics of tennis as the instruc
tors try to instill in the young
players the small points of play
which go toward making a good
player into a great one.
The coaching staff play match
es from time to time in order to
demonstrate the correct tech
niques.
A&M has profited from the
camp. Joe Tillerson, a top play
er on the Aggie varsity squad is
an ex-camp member and was
picked as ideal camper during his
participation in the camp.
The latter part of the camp
will include a tournament to de
termine the best players. Awards
will also go to the “most im
proved” players and a boy and
girl “ideal camper” will be
chosen.
Social activities during the
week have included a dance in
the MSC Ballroom last night, and
a special Parents’ Night is sched
uled for Saturday to complete
the camp.
A waiting list for the 1968
camp has already been estab
lished. This year’s camp was
booked up three months in ad
vance.
