47-32, In Season s Opener
By J. FRED DUCKETT
The Owlets cagers opened their season Monday night with
a convincing 47-32 win over Blinn Junior College on Autry Court.
The Owlets looked a little ragged, but showed promise of im-
provement.
High-point honors went to 6' 4" James Everitt, AJl-Stater
from Cleveland, who scored
nine poin|^andWas deadly un-
der the l&ckboards. The In-
diana boys, 6' 6" Telligman and 6*
166 speedster Norman Pahmeier
also played good ball. Telligman
shows promise of being a good pivot
man, while Pahmeier is fast and a
hustler.
Tops at the pivot slot for Rice
lanky 6' 6" Richard Floyd. Floyd
has a smooth right-handed hook
shot and handles himself well un-
der the basket. The best of the
smaller .men for the frosh were
Monte Robicheaux, Class A All-
State from Bowie, and Billy Wohn
of Houston's Lamar Robicheaux is
as fast on the hardwood as Texas
University's Slater Martin and
promises some great ball-playing.
He hustles all over the floor and
drives in for his crip shots very
well.
Wohn, at 5' 8", an inch shorter
than Robicheaux, is the floor leader
for the Owlets, and plays a cool,
heads-up game. He is an adept ball-
handler, is fast, and has excellent

PALS, OWLS,
MELLS, VCLS Win
mural Play
In the gecond round of intramural
basketball play, the PALS, led by
Pam Riley, Letty Ann Castille, and
Dorthyle Nichell beat the OWLS
(White), defending champions, 16-
11. Mary Alice FloreB was high
point player with 14 points as the
OWLS (Green) beat the CRLS.
Cathy Baragy and Mary Miller also
were standouts for the OWLS while
Allen Hopfe and Margaret Carpent-
er led the CRLS.
A forfeit by the OKLS on Monday
gave the MELLS an automatic win
in the first Blue League game of
this week. The second game showed
the VCLS over the CRLS in a low-
scoring game, 11-9. The VC's have
a fast moving team led by Mildred
Viertel at forward and Gunn Lund-
berg at guard. Bridget Rote and
Dorothy Farrington were standouts
for the CR's.
The only Gray League play this
week saw the OWLS (White) trump
the SLLS 22-12. The SLLS seemed
to be slowed down considerably since
their fast paced victory over the
EBLS last week, although Jeanne
Morrow and Bonnie Miller turned
in good performances for their
team. The OWLS guards, Margie
Perry, Julie Walker, Georgie Leland,
Marianne Luse, and Elaine Camer-
on, did standout jobs.

The Rice cagers have three games on the slate this week
as the basketball season shifts into high. Two of the opponentsv
Sam Houston and Stephen F. Austin, have already encountered
the Owls earlier in the season, and the third, Tulane, will be
the fourth non-conference rival of the campaign.
Tulane will be the second oppon-
ent from the Southeastern Confer-
ence for the Owls, the other having
been LSU. They are ranked sixth
in their loop by Look Magazine and
above the Tigers.
Last year the Green Wave met
the Owls here in Houston and were
upset as the Owls fashioned a 70-66
victory. This year's contest takes
place in New Orleans tomorrow
night.
On Tuesday, December 11, the
Bearkats of Sam Houston will face
the Owls on Autry Court. They will
be seeking revenge of an earlier de-
feat at the hands of the Owls. Last
Saturday Rice broke the road jinx
that plagued them for two years and
defeated the Kats in overtime, 59-
57.
The Bearkat quintet is about on a
par with Rice concerning height and
is similar in that sophs form the
backbone of the team. Dean Lloyd
is the lone senior on their squad
and is their top scorer and an all-
