THE 6-4 MATZEN played basically as a forward in high school, and he had a period 9f adjustment as a guard at Washington. He made the transition. · Matzen did not play as much as he would have liked. Nobody ever does unless he's in each game for 40 minutes, but the former :Abe was No. 6 on the team in minutes played. : He did start on occasion and had a game high production of 21 points in 19 minutes l>f action during the Huskies' 76-66 victory 'over Utah State. He was also the team's free throw percentage leader among those who kot in more than a minimum amount of J>laying time with an .899 mark on 32 of 36. Matzen did make some important contri butions to the Huskies, and it is nice he was appreciated. '
