Students Return From
Conference In Ohio
Seven r e p r e s e ntatives
from the Lamar Tech Wes-
ley Foundation and West-
minster Fellowship have
recently returned from an
Ecumenical Student Con-
ference on the Christian
World Mission which was
held in Athens, Ohio.
Pat Garrett, Anna Dell
M cDaniel, David Lips-
comb, Rev. W ayne Wil-
liams, director from Wes-
ley Foundation; and Gail
Connell, Barbara Roberts,
Doris Jean Gloff, director,
from Westminster Fellow-
ship attended this confer-
ence sponsored by the Stu-
dent Volunteer Movement
for Christian Missions and
the United Student Chris-
tian Council.
The conference was at-
tended by some 3,500 stu-
dent delegates from 400.
colleges and universities
of North America. The
conference included 1,275
students from 80 countries
around the world.
Students from all parts of
the world discussed major
issues of the day under the
guidance of recognized
leaders in their fields. Is-
sues of the new relation-
ship of missionaries to the
younger churches around
the world,problems of col
onialism, racism, under
developed areas and the
relationship of the Chris
tian faith to areas of rapdi
social change were dis-
cussed.
This conference has been
described as "one of the
most significant ecumen-
ical encounters of students
that has ever taken place
in Christian history."
Football Begins Again;
Spring Training Starts Mon.
Spring training for the-
football squad starts Mon-
day, Feb.6.
At this time Coach J. B.
Higgins will sendhis
charges through 20 days of
drilling, and at the same
time look over sojne of the
area high school players.
Although most of the area
athletes are participating
in spring sports, and are
ineligible to participate in
spring football, there will
be a few who come for the
week stay.
Coach Higgins has secur-
ed some players to fill the
gaps in last year's team.
One of the outstanding
transfers is George Parks,
an all-state quarterback
from Eldorado,Ark. Parks
i s transfering t o Lamar
from Little Rock Junior
College, where he was
rated as one of the better
quarterbacks in the state.
Rocky Slaughter, an all-
state end from Navarra
Junior College, will also
don the Cardinal toggery
this spring.
Other transfers are
Tackles John Traylor,Tex-
arkana; Ronnie Foreman,
University of Houston;
James Benoit, Louisiana
Tech, and Lonnie Weir,
University of Texas. Weir
was recently released
from the service, but play-
ed freshman ball at Texas
before entering the ser-
vice. All of these players
stand over six feet and the
lightest of them all weighs
in at 210.
There will be 15 letter-
men from last year's squad
answering the call, and
Coach Higgins figures that
the most he will suit up at
any one time will be 35

Flock Meet
Rice Owls
Coach Jack Martin's Car-
dinals will entertain the
powerful Rice Owls tonight
at MacArthur gym.
The Owls are currently in
third place in the South-
west Conference with a 4-2
record for conference
play. They are second in
the Conference for season
play with a 14-3 record.
In overall play they have
scored 1429 points while
allowing their oppenents
1148.
The Owls will brihgTem-
ple Tucker, the individual
scoring leader of the con-
ference, and Joe Durren-
berger, ranked number
five in the conference in
scoring.
Tucker, who stands 6TO"
has scored 400 points this
season, 126 in conference
play. Durr enberger, a
mere 6'6",has scored245
points, 102 in conference
play.
Coach Martin's men will
be going into the game in
top shape with the possible
exception of Guard Roy
West who suffereda shoul-
der separation during the
semester holidays. It is
unknown whether West will
have recovered sufficient-
ly to see action.
The two clubs have met
once before, early in the
season, and the Owls ad-
ministered a severe defeat
to the Birds. Coach Mar-
tin's much improved dub
will be out to even the slate
for this season, and gain
the first win for Lamar
over a Rice team. :In prior
meetings the Cardinals
have yet to defeat the Owls.

tory was in the 69 yard high
hurdles,in which the Tecn-
men swept all three, places

first places to five 'for the
Cowhands.
Coach Tyrrell said that

•slowly,but steadily, Spring

performers, and the rest
will continue to work out.
