Schuebel is a graduate of Reagan High.
Hardin - Simmons Falls
Before Owl Offense, 40-0
By BOBBY SHERIDAN
As expected, H a r d i n-Simmons
lost a football game to the Rice
Owls Saturday night in the Rice
Stadium. Also, as expected, it was
a one-sided contest, with the final
score reading 40-0.
After scoring the second touch-
down with 5:58 left in the first
period until late in the third period,
the Owls lacked any and all in-
centive to score. During this lapse
of determined effort by the Owls,
the Cowboys meandered around the
stadium turf securing 15 first
downs—the same number as the
victors.

But on the first play of the
fourth quarter, Dick Chapman
crashed through to block a punt
that was being kicked from the
end zone and Blois Bridges fell on
the ball for an Owl touchdown.
This set the pace for three more
rapid counters in the last period
to make the score one-sided and to
ease the earlier doubts about the
contented Owls.
The game was possibly the
most beneficial yet played be-
cause the second and third
strings were able to gain 25 min-
utes of playing experience.
Thirty-four players participated
in the game and this did not in-
clude regulars Carl Johnson, Kenny
Paul, and Morris Stone. This ex-
perience lfiay prove to be invalu-
able in the fourth quarter of some
future game.
The Owls displayed their strong-
est passing effort of the early
season, throwing 25 times. The
tosses were completed for a total
of 149 yards.
Pass defense proved to be the
greatest weakness, as the Cow-
boys took to the air successfully,
also completing 10, but throwing
only 21 times good for 109 yards.
The Owls did, however, intercept
three of the tosses.

guards, with Bill Fox, a 187 pound
senior at center. SMU's ends are
one of their strong points, with
Doyle Nix and Ed Bemet the start-
ers. However, if defense is needed,
Ed Berry takes over for the pass-
snagging Bernet. Against Missouri
Berry played one of the best games
at defensive end that this reporter
has seen since Froggy William's
days at Rice.
The Owls should enter this
game back in full strength after
their "breather" against fired up
Hardin-Simmons. Guard Ken
Paul and right halfbacks Carl
Johnson and Morris Stone should'
be back to full strength this week,
though the latter two may have
trouble forcing Mac Taylor out
of the regular right half slot.
The Rice starting lineup should
be the same as against HSU with
the exception of Paul returning to
right guard. The right half posi-
tion probably will npt be decided
until game time.
Rice will be up against probably
their toughest game this weekend.
The speedy Mustangs have absorbed
Woodard's split T attack as if they
had been running all their lives.
They have good passing in Nutt
and Stollenwerck, superlative pass
receiving in Bernet and Nix; a tri-
ple-threat back in Norton who not
only runs well, but passes and
punts—he was the conference's
leading punter in 1952; and a well-
coached rough line that brought the
comment from Rice end coach Red
Bale who scouted SMU that "they
are better coached on fundamentals
than the Mustang championship
teams during Doak Walker's tenure
at SMU.
Owlets Seek Second Victory;
Meet Colts This Afternoon
The Rice Owlets are seeking
their second straight victory when
they journey to Dallas to test their
wares against the split "T" offense
of the Southern Methodist Colts,
Friday afternoon in Ownby Sta-
dium.
Slated to start the contest for
the SMU freshmen at left end is
Woody Smithy, a rangy 193-pound-
er from Pine Bluff, Arkansas, who
won all-state honors last year. The
right end position will be filled by
Tommy Gentry, an all-district per-
former from Baytown;
The tackle slots will be held
down by Tommy Hughes, all-
state player from Port Arthur,
and Doug Stewart, 210-pounder
from Center.
To man the guard spots are.
Smitty Keller of Highland Park
and Louis Conant of Baytown.
Both these boys are heavyweights,
weighing well over 200 pounds
each.
Bill Livingston appears to be the
outstanding center, among such
boys as Mays Neal of Dallas and
L. Rider of Tomball.
To lead the Colts from his
quarterback position will be Jim
Haynic, leader of last year's
championship Lubbock team.
The split "T" offense of the
Colts will be exploited by such
outstanding backs as Charlie Mc-
Cue, All-American halfback from
Lawrence, Kansas; Kenneth Rob-
erts, all-district halfback from Wi-
chita Falls, and Kenneth Lows,
all-state halfbaek from Stamford.
Under the direction of Coach
Herman Morgan, the SMU Frosh
teams have been defeated only
once in the past three years. The
Owlets, however, will be out to
avenge the defeat by SMU of
the fine freshman squad of last
year.
Coach Charlie Moore has spent
the last two weeks in sharpening
the Owlet offense and preparing a
defense for SMU's newly acquired
offense.

J. Paul Sheedy* Switched to Wildroot Cream-Oil
Because He Flunked The Finger-Nail Test
"©• bury your head in the (and," shrieked Sheedy's chick. You'll never
put a wing on my finger until you start using Wildroot Cream-Oil on
that messy hair. It's America's favorite hair tonic. Keep* hair combed
without any trace of greasiness. Removes goose, ugly
dandruff. Relieves annoying dryness. Helps you pass the
Finger-Nail Test." Paul looked so good the very fuzz
time he used Wildroot Cream-Oil, his pigeon egged him
on until he proposed. So why don't you buy a bottle or
tube £oday at any toilet goods counter. And necks time
you have a haircut, ask for Wildroot Cream-Oil on your
hair. Then no gal will ever give you the bird.
