Moseley, Faucett,

In Meet Saturday
<1
Wisely passing up the Border
Olympics because of poor con-
ditioning due to bad weather,
coach Emmett Branson's Rice
track team opens its 1960 sea-
son Saturday at 2:30 p.m. by
playing host to Texas and Lamar
Tech and a quadrangular meet
to be held in old Rice stadium.
Although the Longhoms are
heavily favored, the Owls are
hoping to open what Brunson
thinks could be Rice's finest
track season in over five years.
%
Counted on for first Saturday
are broad jumper Dale Moseley,
sprinter Taylor Jones, quarter-
miler Lennard Facuett, and the
Owl sprint relay team which will
probably be composed by Ray-
mond Davidson, Faucett, Mickey
Hollingshead, and Jones.
Other first place finishers for
Rice Saturday may be hurdler
Norman Charlton and miler Ron-
ald Weber.
BROAD JUMP CHAMP — Dale Moseley, SWC broad jump
champ for the past two seasons, sharpens up his style for the com-
ing1 campaigns. A consistent 20-footer last year, Moseley will lead
the Owls in their first combat of the 1960 track and field battles.

Two Titles In View
As Spring Sports Start
By TED HERMANN
Thresher Sports Editor
Rice's spring sports program gets into full swing Sat-
urday with the Owls engaged on three fronts. The Owl
swim team winds up their season, with the conference
meet in Lubbock Saturday, while the Rice baseballers
journey to College Station to take on the strong Texas
Aggies in their season opener.
In the only home event, coach Emmett Brunson's
track team plays host to Texas, Lamar Tech and Texas
A & I in a quadrangular meet to be staged in old Rice
stadium Saturday afternoon. Al-
though Texas will be highly fa-
vored to capture the meet, the
events to watch Saturday, as a
barometer to the season which
can be expected from the Owls,
will be the sprints, where Tay-
lor Jones duels Border Olympic
100 and 220 champion Ralph Als-
paugh, and the hurdles, which
match Ray Cunningham of Texas,
winner of both hurdle events at
Laredo, and Norman Charlton of
Rice.

Baseballers Not Ready
A victory at College Station
Saturday by Del Morgan's squad
would be miraculous to say the
'least. Faced with a late start due
to football and basketball and
almost impossible weather con-
ditions, the Owls are no where
near peak performance for the
non-conference tilt Saturday.
Rice's tennis team also opened
their 1960 season this week witty
a Wednesday encounter with Ok-
lahoma Baptist. Despite the loss
of the conference's singles and
doubles champion Ronnie Fisher
to the books, the Owls should
have no trouble in sweeping to
their consecutive conference title.
Returning from last year's
squad are doubles champion Art
Foust, the runner-up in confer-
ence singles action, Paul Como,
and letterman Doug Brashrum,
But, judging from last week's
play the man to watch on the
Owls squad might well be soph-
omore Neal Marcus. a
Spring Belongs To Texas
With the spring sports season
upon us, it is interesting to note
the dominance which the Univer-
sity of Texas has had over the
spring sports of tennis, track,
golf, and baseball in the past, la
tennis, the Longhoms have cap-
tured 11 team titles, Rice has two,
and^that is the story. The Steers
have captured 27 singles and -32
doubles championships to Rice's
11 in doubles and 10 in singles.
SMU has four singles and one
doubles crown and A&M has one
singles title.
In track, only three teams have
ever won a conference title. Texas
has 27, A&M follows with 11, and
Rice has- four. The Longhoms
have also dominated the golf
links, winning 22 team titles to
four for SMU, three for Rice, and
one each for A&M, Baylor, Ar-
kansas, and Tech.
Number One For Rice
The twice national champion
Texans also seem to own the
baseball crown. The Longhoms
have won 32 crowns outright and
tied for three others. Next comes
A&M, with six titles and two
ties, TCU, with two titles, Bay-
lor, with one, and finally SMU
with one lowly tie.
