• OWLOOK . . .
Room At The Top For
Determined *60 Owls
By HARRY STELLMAN And NEAL MARCUS
With a decisive 10-0 victory over the Florida Gators,
the Owls surpassed their 1959 record and showed the de-
termination and ability to put Rice in a threatening posi-
tion for SWC honors.
From the opening kickoff, the Owls held all the cards
and proceeded to cash in, as sophomore quarterback Billy
Cox completely outclassed Florida's highly touted quarter-
backs, Dodd and Libertore. A hard-nosed defense, led by
the King brothers, Simmons, Karam and Burrell gave up

15 yards less than the total yards
gained by Rice fullback Mike
Bowen.
PRESSURE TACTICS by the
ends highlighted the consistently
good defensive efforts of both of
Rice's alternate units and com-
pletely stalled the Gators' run-
ning game, forcing them to the
air. But the Owl secondary con-
tained the Gator aerial game and
Florida was never in a threaten-
ing position.
Although a pre-season quarter-
back problem is well under con-
trol, injuries have suddenly trans-
formed Rice's strong guard posi-
tion into a weak spot, as three of
Rice's guards suffered injuries
against the Gators. Most serious-
ly injured was Rufus King who
received a cartilage injury and
probably will not see action
against S.M.U.
AGGRESSIVE blocking and
deceptive quarterbacking opened
the way for the Owl backs and

In 1916 the Owls scored 22
touchdowns to defeat SMU 146-3,
thus establishing for Rice an all-
time SWC record for most points
scored in a single game by one
team.
gave them much success with the
draw play. Rice's ten points were
scored on a 21-yard touchdown
pass from Cox to Burrell and an
extra point and a field goal by
Webb. Touchdowns were once
again hard to come by, although
the Owls were frequently in scor-
ing position. They are sure to
find the touchdown formula with
their opening S.W.C. play this
Saturday.
Good luck Owls. See ya in Dal-
las!
Powers Emerge
Intramurals
By LOUIS SMITH
As intramural football enters
its fourth week, the powers of
each league are beginning to
make themselves known.
The class of the freshman
league appears to be the Play-
boys (3-0). In the Monday league
the Grubb Clubb (3-0) is display-
ing fine form. The Friday league,
is awaiting the showdown be-
tween the Alpha Sigs and the
Leftovers, both of whom have

e P. E. Department an-
nounces the formation of a Rice
Soccer Club, having intersquad
games and at least two outside
games with the Houston Inter-
national Soccer Club, the YMCA,
and possibly others.
The club will meet at the stu-
dents' convenience, and anyone
interested should contact Mr. Le-
Bar or the P. E. department sec-
retary at extension 330 as soon
as possible.
Several dual fencing meets are
to be planned this year between
the Rice Fencing Club and other
SWC schools, according to Mr.
Harold Van Buskirk, coach.
The Fencing Club will have its
third meeting this Thursday at
7:30 pm in the fencing room at
the gym. No previous experience
is necessary,
Staff Predicts:
After nearly getting laughed
off campus following last week's
predictions, ye olde sports editor
has recruited five others to share
the disgrace in case of any more
unforseen upsets.
RICE 19, SMU 3 . . . Although
hurt by the loss of Rufus King,
the Owls should have enough
steam to smother the winless
Mustangs.
Texas 18, Arkansas 6 . . . With-
out Lance Alworth, the Hogs are
only a slightly better than aver-
age football team. Texas is solid,
as they proved last week.
Baylor 32, Texas Tech G . . .
Indications here are that the
score will be whatever the Bears
want it to be.
