The football picture looks
bright for this Beason as the
Owls prepare to invade Baton
Rouge to take on the Tigers of
LSU.
This Rice team has displayed a
tremendous spirit and desire to
win as Coach Neely put them
through two weeks of hard work-
outs. The Owls finally appear to
have the leadership they have so'
sorely lacked in recent years.
Matt Gorges, King Hill, and Lar-
ry Whitmire have done excellent
jobs as tri-captains in keeping up
the Owl spirit.
The Owls have a letterman
at every position which lends
the experience which was ab-
sent the last two seasons. A
quick look at the team, posi-
tion by position, reveals at left
end, Buddy Dial. Buddy is
rated by many experts as the
SWC's finest pass receiver.
Squadman Charles Pollard has
come along fast in spring and
fall drills, and he could move
the pencil that's first
with professionals is th<e
perfect pencil for you!
You get off to a fine start (and do some fine finishes!)
when you work with an Eagle TURQUOISE. This is
the drawing pencil that ranks No. 1 with professionals—
and for good reasons:
1. Uniform grading: you get exactly the blackness
you want... from every pencil, every time.
2. Proven needle-point strength for line after
long line of unchanging width.
3. Proven smoothness—thanks to Eagle's exclusive
100% "Electronic"® Graphite.
So do justice to yourself: Start the year right with
TURQUOISE—get it at your favorite dealer now!

Right end is manned by Gene
Jones, a junior letterman who
excels on defense. He is backed
up by big Gene Miller, a junior
squadman. Larry Whitmire, an
All American candidate, holds
down left tackle slot. He is rated
as one of the outstanding tackles
in the Southwest. Close behind
Whitmire are squadman Jim
Cauley and letterman Don Phil-
lips.
Right tackle is well taken care
of by letterman J. D. Smith and
Claude "Toad" White, who turned
in a fine performance in the Blue-
Gray game.
* * *
The Ritard positions are in
good hands with lettermen
Matt Gorges and Charles
Thompson on the left side and
Cliff McCraw and Dan Gillis
on the right side. Gorges and
Gillis were highly praised by
LSU scouts for their defensive
work. Gillis has already been
drafted by the Cleveland
Browns. McCraw was a terror
in the Blue-Gray-game, and he
has moved ahead of big Don.
The top centers are squadman
Ron Kramer and soph Jerry
Graves. Both are linebackers.
The Owls are blessed with the
best tfroup of quarterbacks in
the conference. Veterans Frank
Ryan and King Hill are proven
stars, and soph Larry Dueitt has
looked great.
There are three lettermen at
fullback. Leading the list is
Raymond Chilton, but David
Kelly could move ahead on the
basis of his fine play in the
Blue-Gray game. Howard Hoel-
scher rounds out this potent
trio.
At left half is letterman Bob-
by Williams, who excels on de-
fense. Soph Billy Bucek backs
him up. Right half is strong with
lettermen Ken Williams and
squadman Pat Bailey. Bailey was
I the leading ground gainer of the
| Blue-Gray game, and Williams
! was lauded by Neely for his de-
i fense.
* * *
All in all, twenty lettermen
are back, Tuit several of them see
their positions in danger as a
result of the vast improvement
of several squadmen, along with
the addition of talented sophs.
The resulting competition should
inspire fine game pei*formances
by all concerned.

BY JERRY PITTMAN
Sports Staff

So Jasper Rudolph was looking
