Owlets Trounce Victoria
Junior College, 88-49
By J. FRED DUCKETT
Displaying a slick passing offense and strong backboard
control, the Rice Owlets avenged an earlier 76-68 loss to the
Victoria Junior College Pirates by downing them 68-49 last
Saturday night on Autry Court. The Hoosier Hotshots, Nor-
man Pahmeier and Terry Telligman again led the Slimes, Pah-
16
meier canning 16 points for
high-scoring honors, while Tel-
ligman dropped in 10 before
fouling out early in the second
half.
Telligman's early departure re-
vealed the power and talent of the
Rice bench. Big 6' 5" George Wil-
son of Lamar came in and scored
12 points. Wilson's rebound work
was outstanding, half of his points
being scored off the backboard.
James Everitt, a Cleveland, Tex-
as, All-Stater, played his best game
of the season, scoring 14 .points and
impressing every one with his hus-
tle and accuracy.
Rice jumped to a 19-13 lead half-
way through the first quarter on
baskets by Pahmeier, Everitt, and
Billy Wohn. The long-range sharp-
shooting of the Pirates' Joe Walker
pulled Victoria JC up to 23-20 at
the end of the quarter.
The second quarter was all Rice,
with Telligman getting eight of his
points, while the Rice outside men,
Wohn and Monte Robicheaux, con-
tinually drove through the Pirate
defense for easy lay-up shots. The
half ended with Rice on the long
end of a 39-28 score.
In the third quarter Wilson and
Everitt took over, scoring all but
four of Rice's points between them.
Victoria failed to rally and trailed
40-56 at the quarter. The fourth
quarter turned into a rout for Rice

eighth, and Grawunder ninth, with
.654 end .634, respectively. For the
season, only Childs ranks in the
first ten, getting the third slot on a
.740 average.
A few clues to the Owls fortunes
arise from the mass of statistics:
(1) Although the Owls score
enough, they do not score at the
most opportune times; (2) defense
shows up as a weakness; (3) the
Owls have the pointmakers percen-
tage speaking, which indicates that
Rice should shoot a little more; and
(4) free throw sinking is a big
Weakness.
These conclusions are further
borne out in the overall field goal
and free-throw-making percentages.
Rice's .334 average on field goals
ranks second to TCU's .360, but the
Owls .587 average on free throws
is last in the Conference.
Seventy-six candidates for the '52
Owl football team are currently en-
gaged in Spring drills. This is one
fouled out, and Wilson was burden-
ed with four personals, the strong
Rice bench again produced some ex-
cellent reserves in Dicky Moegle,
Dick Rowand, and slender Lynn Nel-
son.
of the largest Rice squads to report
in any year.
The big problems are at end
and the offensive line. Experienced
sophomores and a large crop of
freshmen and ineligibles of last
year make the problems a little
lighter. Candidates for the quarter-
back -slot, a problem at the start of
the past season, are now in num-
erous and good hands, with the four
of last year returning, plus Buzzy
Bryan, a Wharton JC transfer, and
two sophs to be battling for the
position.
Whether the answer of where to
place what personnel—can be found
in spring and fall practice will be
the key to ,the Owl success next
year. Coach Neely's shifts are be-
ing watched with keen interest from
all sides.
