Dallas, Atlanta Set Battle For Matson an A SURE TWO Jack Davis of A-2 goes up for a sure two points in intramural basketball battle with F-2.

(^)—The Dallas Chaparrals of the American Bas ketball Association plan a bidding war with the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League for the services of Olympic shotput king Randy Matson. “We are planning to really go after him,” said Max Williams of the Dallas club. “He would be a tremendous draw. “Matson has got a lot of talent and is a tremendous jumper. Of course, he would be too heavy to play right away.” Matson was an excellent bas ketball and football player at Pampa, Tex., High School. He played basketball his junior year at Texas A&M and was impres sive until he twisted his knee. The Chaparrals wouldn’t say how high they were willing to bid, but said they would offer Matson a bonus and a multi-year contract. Williams said Matson wants to make his home in Dallas because he eventually wants to go into banking. “He plans to come and see our operation soon,” Williams said. Frank Wall, general manager of Atlanta told The Associated Press that the Falcons had been in touch with the medal winner and figure Matson “will talk with us before he signs with anybody.” Wall said Matson was a “great prospect.” “He has tremendous speed for his size and would make a tight end, offensive tackle or a great defensive end,” said Wall. Commenting on the Chaparral threat to bid high for Matson’s services, Wall said, “I guess it just depends on whether Matson wants to play football or basket ball. We certainly don’t plan to get into a bidding war. We’ve been through that before.” Wall said Matson visited the Falcon training camp before the Olympics got underway. AGGIES Round-Up The intramural story continues: In Class A Flag Football, Squadron 11 and 10 fought to a scoreless tie but Sqd. 11 was awarded the victory on penetrations. This give Sqd. 11 an undefeated record for the regular schedule. Er-2 pulled the upset of the day when they edged by F-2 in another scoreless duel again with penetrations deciding the margin of victory. Both companies finished with 3-1 records, but E-2 will represent the league in the playoffs. In other football games, Sqd. 2 downed Sqd. 3, 14-6, but Sqd. 3 will go to the playoffs anyway by virtue of their 3-1 record. Class B Basketball action saw A-2 emerge as the cham pions as they bombed F-2, 40-28. Picard was the leading scorer for the winners, tossing in 18 points while Stooks and Mitchell contributed 8 and 7 respectively. Sargent and Woodrow both scored 10 points for F-2 in their losing effort. B-l and Sqd. 4 were the third and fourth place finishers. In. Class C, the only action was in bowling with the Mexico Club defeating the Luthem Student Organization, 464 to 367, to earn a semi-final playoff berth against the Physics Club. Members of the Mexico Club are Carlos Garza, E. Martinez, and G. Currielche. (Continued From Page 1) back while another sophomore from Houston, Dave Elmendorf, is expected to take Long’s spot at wingback. Filling out the Aggie backfield will be quarterback Edd Hargett and fullback Wendell Housley. Hargett had his greatest game of the season last week in lead ing the Aggies past TCU 27-7 while Housley continued to set up the running game with tre mendous blocks. At the ends will be Barney Harris and Tommy Maxwell while Tom Buckman and Mike Stinson will be the tackles, Jim Parker and Rusty Stallings are expected to be at the guards and Jack Kovar will be the center.

Bill Hobbs and Buster Adami will be at the linebacking spots while Ivan Jones, Curley Hallman, Ross Brupbacher and Tom Sooy are expected to be in the defensive backfield.

Baylor Coach John Bridgers scouted the Aggies in their game with TCU and came away im pressed. A crowd in excess of 40,000 is expected for the game. A&M leads the overall series between the two teams 37-20-7.
