Owloolc
Divine intervention rescues Bruins
Rice bowlers travel to Fort Worth,
take seventh place at state tourney
By LEE HALL
" "I swear to God, we're going to church to-
morrow." The above statement, made by UCLA's
Harold Busby immediately after the game Sat-
urday, pretty well sums up the outcome of that
game.
Until the gods decided to intervene, the Rice
Owls appeared to have a momentous upset in
their grasp. But we lost.
Anyone can praise a winner. The Owls have
lost two of our first three games this year. Yet
few teams have ever deserved so much praise.
Saturday the Owls out-fought and out-hustled a
superior opponent.
We moved the ba£>at will because of hard
running and determined blocking. We could not
stop UCLA's offense, but we contained them in
the center of the field, and prevented their
famous long bomb until that play in the fourth
quarter.
UCLA fully expected to win by merely running
out onto the field. But they were never able to
take the game from us, and could attain the
victory in the last 7 second only after we gave
it away.
This Saturday, in Dallas, the Owls open up
their defense of Southwest Conference cellar. Our
opponent will be the SMU Mustangs, who can
be described only as erratic.
This year, however, they have more talent with
which to be erratic. Their offense is remarkably
similar to UCLA's in intent, if not in execution.
Mac Phite plays Gary Beban and Jerry Levis
plays Harold Busby. No one plays Mel Farr.
The Musang defense has been superb on oc-
casion. They are a little bigger and stronger
and, in general, better than in past year. For
this season, they do not stunt quite as much as
they did in those years.
For the fourth time this year, Rice will go
into the game as the underdog. It's getting to
be an enjoyable position.
Baker sponsors cross country meet
The .traditional Baker Invi-
tational Cross Country Meet
has been tentatively scheduled
for Sunday afternoon, Novem-
ber 20, tftie day after Rice's
last home football game.
All students interested in
competing are encouraged to
begin training now, in order to
survive the rigors of the 2.9
mile course (a complete circuit
ocf the Rice campus via the path
outside the dilapidated hedge
surrounding the campus).
Each college will be compet-
ing as a team. In last year's
first Annual Invitational, Bakr
er was .a convincing winner,
taking four of the first seven
places. Will Rice placed second,
Hanszen third, and Wies's, a
disappointing fourth.
This year the competition
should be closer, and probably
tougher. Last spring Wiess won
the .College. Intramural Track
a comfortable margin,
demonstrating that they have
the talent to challenge Baker
for the title.
Will Rice and Hanszen will
have most of their runners re-
turning this year, and both
could also be threats.
Last year's winning time of
16:41 is not likely to be good
enough for first place this year.
However, the winning team will
be decided on the basis of the
places of its first five finishers,
so any team wth five or more
men in the 18 minute or better
category will have a good
chance to win.
The Rice Bowling team trav-
eled to Fort Worth Saturday
for its first matches in the
Texas Intercollegiate Bowling
Conference.
The team, composed of John
Bond, Jerry Hafter, Don Cal-
laway, Bill Sheets, Jimmy
Drouihlet and Tom Van Parys,
lost its first four games to
Texas, the second by only one
pin.
They came back against
Trinity, taking three of four,
and finished the tourney by
losing four to the Aggies.
Overall, the Owls amassed a
3-9 record for seventh place in
the eight-team league, ahead
only of Trinity. Arlington State
and TCU appear to be the
strongest teams, with Larry
Hofstader of TCU, who aver-
aged 234 over his last seven
games, the probable individual
star.
The Rice entry was led by
Tom Parys who averaged 185
for the day, followed by John
Bond with 177.
The team, sponsored by Dr.
Roy U. Talmage, was chosen
from 13 bowlers who partici-
pated in last week's roll-off, on
the basis of last year's record
and the scores shot in the roll-
off. Practice matches will con-
tinue -to be held and future
team's will be chosen from these
matches.
