Here is the 1968 season. The zany, unpredict
able Southwest Conference season. Where under
dogs become topdogs on any given Saturday.
Where comparative scores, home field advantage
and other prognostic devices are thrown to the
winds. Where on the day of the game it’s just us
versus them and to hell with what happened last
week or last year. Yes, the Southwest Conference
has tradition — anyone can win, anyone can pull
the big shocker of the season and fate doesn’t
play favorites.

Associated Press Sports Writer
DALLAS, Tex. (^)—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.

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.
ON DEFENSE THE AGGIES
are expected to start Mike De-
Niro and Jim Piper at the ends,
Rolf Krueger and Harvey As-
chenbeck at the tackles and Lynn
Odom at middle guard. 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.
Stallings said that Hobbs, who
has had a bad back all season,
was in bettfer shape this week
than he was last week at this
time.
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.
