SWC TRACK CHAMPS
Bjr JOHN ALEXANDER
ThrMhor Sports Writer
The Rice trackmen defeated
A&M and Texas in a triangular
meet at Austin last Friday. This
was the meet where Randy Mat-
son put the shot 69' %"
The conference meet is this
weekend at College Station and
the Owls figure as the definite
favorites. The team has almost
sure first places in three of the
fifteen events. Bobby May of
course in the hurdles and War-
ren Brattlof, conference record
holder in the pole vault.
The relays where the points
are doubled stack up as very im-
portant to the Rice team. The
sprint relay team of May, Con-
ner, Jimmy Ellington, and Jim-
my Epps enter the meet with

Owl Nine Splits With SMU Ponies;
Holder Wins Third, Yields Five Hits
The Rice baseball team split a
twin bill with SMU in Dallas
last Saturday. The team won
the regular nine inning contest
3-2, but lost the second seven
inning game 6-4.
In the opener, Doug Nichol-
son drove in runs the first two
times he batted. Bart Rice push-
ed across the winning run in
the sixth inning with a single
•to center.
Mickey Holder won his third
game. He pitched a five hitter
and had four strikeouts as he
went the route. This was the
first time in twelve SWC games
that Andy Rooker did not hit
safely.
Actually Rooker had a hit.
He was advancing a runner
from first to third on a hit and
run play, but the runner failed
to tag second base. He was call-
ed out on a fielder's choice and
Rooker's hit did not go down on
the record books.
In the second game, SMU
pitcher Bohren kept the Rice
bats silent until late in the
game. In a rally in the seventh
inning Nicholson homered with
a man on, but the rally fell
short and the Owls lost. Rooker
got two hits and maintained his
.325 batting average.
The Owls end the season with
games today and tomorrow with
Baylor.

pete this weekend, Owl George

sen's 5.6 in the fifty. Mark
