Pag-e 4 College Station, Texas Friday, May 10, 1968 THE BATTALION Matson, Mills In Striders’ Meet /if? • i WINNING FORM Aggie pole vaulter Martin Rollins, shown here winning the SWC competition at Fort Worth last weekend will compete with the Houston Striders Saturday in an invitational meet at Houston’s Jeppesen Stadium. (Photo by Mike Wright) All YOU Do Is Talk About It Non-Reg, But What Are YOU Doing? ^ Ho'lhe, r e r k s / <srrut By JOHN PLATZER Randy Matson and Curtis Mills, perhaps Texas A&M’s most well known senior and freshman, re spectively, will don the uniform of the Houston Striders this weekend. The occasion is the Striders’ Invitational Meet Saturday in Houston’s Jeppesen Stadium. Top amateur teams from throughout the nation will compete for med als at the meet, including armed forces and California squads. MATSON, fresh from his vic tory over Dave Maggard and George Woods in California’s San Antonio Invitational, is looking at the meet as tune-up for the Amateur Athletic Union Cham pionships and the Olympic Trials the last two weekends in June. The world record-holder began his serious training a few weeks ago and has been working out six days a week with an emphasis on the weights. The main concern of Matson at present is of hitting a peak too early in the season. Matson won the California meet with a Gd-lOVz toss while Maggard threw 65-10 and Woods of Southern Illinois threw 65-9. Matson has said that expects a battle between himself, Neil Steinhauer, Woods and Maggard for the three spots on the U. S. Olympic Team. Rice’s Collins Named Top Owl Athlete ijuJi {Lo-ryt*-* /f/scaJ? UJx/Jt' DALLAS (A>>—Jay Collins, All- Southwest Conference defensive end and winner of Rice Univer sity’s coveted Bob Quinn Award, was announced Thursday as the school’s athlete of the year. He will represent Rice at the annual Southwest Conference Lettermen’s Association awards luncheon here May 16. Each of the eight conference members designate an athlete of the year to be honored. Previously named were Greg Pipes of Baylor, Gary Overbeck of Texas and John Scovell of Texas Tech. Collins, co-captain of last year’s team, made excellent classroom grades while majoring in engi neering. He also participated in campus student government ac tivities. SCHOOL OF HARD “KNUCKS” Atlanta Braves catcher Charley Lau, in discussing how to catch the knuckle-ball in the current issue of SPORTS Magazine, says: “There are two schools of though on catching the knuckler. Unfortunately, neither of them works.” Give your lace an education in closeness. Without making it smart. The new '68 Norelco Tripleheader 35T gives you a shave so close, we dare any blade to match it. And it won’t nick or scrape either. Let this be a lesson to you: in independent lab oratory tests this Norelco Tripleheader Speedshaver®—with floating Microgroove™ heads, rotary blades and pop-up trimmer — shaved as close or even closer than a leading stainless steel blade 2 out of every 3 times. What more could you want? Maybe the new Norelco Rechargeable Tripleheader 45CT. Same great Norelco shave and features. Works with or without a cord. And this Pow erhouse delivers nearly twice as many shaves per charge as any other re chargeable. More features, too, in cluding a 115/220 voltage selec tor so you can really shave any where. Let that be another lesson. /Vore/co ®1968 North American Philips Company. Inc. —the close, fast, comfortable electric shave. 100 East 42nd Street, New York, N. Y. 10017 Woods is scheduled to throw against the former Pampa star in Houston as is high school sen sation Sammy Walker. Walkqf, of Dallas Samuell, is the only schoolboy in history to break the 70’ barrier and holds the world schoolboy record at over 72. It will be the first time for Walker to ever throw the 16 pound ball in competition al though he does practice with it. MILLS will be making his first appearance since finishing second at the SWC Meet in the 440. Mills ran his career best of 46.1 in the Fort Worth Meet while running behind Dave Morton who was timed in 45.5. Besides competing in the 440, the former Lufkin athlete will run the leadoff lap for the Striders in the mile relay. During the season, Mills paced the Aggie mile relay team to a best time of 3:09.8 and a third place spot in the conference meet. Other Aggies competing in the Jeppesen meet will be Martin Rollins, the SWC pole vault cham pion, and Jack Abbott, hurdler. Abbott recorded the confer ence’s third best season time in the 120-yard hurdles with a 14.2. ROLLINS became the Aggies first 16 foot pole vaulter with a 16-1effort in the team’s first meet of the season. The initial effort stood up all season as the best in the SWC. A 15-8 mark gave the Aggie senior from Alabama the SWC championship in his specialty.
