Owlook
By BILL KENNEDY
Thresher Basketball Analyst
The preliminaries are now over and the South-
west Conference race has begun in dead earnest.
Biggest surprise of the non-conference schedule
has, of course, been the Owls. Rice stands fourth
in the conference with a mark of 3-7. The Owls
have made believers of many observers who had
earlier scoffed at talk of a roundball renaissance
at Rice under Coach Don Knodel.
The pre-conference schedule has shown the
19G7 modal Owls to be a far deeper, better
balanced team than last year's conference door-
mats. Along with expected soph starter Greg
Williams, two more varsity rookies, 6'4" guard
Bob Rule and 6'7" post man Jim Hubenak, have,
momentarily at least, cracked the starting five.
Hubenak seems to have found himself in the
Owls' rousing 88-69 victory over LSU in the
Poinsettia Classic, as he scored 16 points. Rule,
who was thought to be a year away from any
sort of regular spot, has thus far been the
surprise of the squad with a tremendous 57.5
percentage from the floor.
The rapid development of these sophomores
has given Rice much added depth. The enthusiasm
with which the younger players have gone after
the veterans' jobs has also increased the hustle
coefficient of the team as a whole.
Coach Knodel promised at the beginning of the
year that everyone on the team would be given
an opportunity to play his way into the starting
lineup. He has certainly kept his word.
Keeping pace with the soaring sophs has been
senior Bill Doty who is currently second in SWC
scoring, sporting a glittering average of 19 points
in SWC gamei
per game. He has also hit on an excellent 54.7%
of his shots from the floor.
Doty's importance to the Owls goes beyond the
game statistics, however. He is the only man on
the team with muscle enough to fight it out
under the boards with such SWC monsters as
A & M's 6'9", 230 lb. Ronnie Peret and TCU's
6'6", 220 lb. James Cash.
As the success of the Green Bay Packer-size
Houston Cougars attests, basketball is more and
more not just a game of tall men, but of strong,
tall men. The undernourishment of the Owls
will surely cost them some games this year.
On the strength of their performance so far,
however, it is equally sure that the Owls could
easily hustle their way up as high as fifth or
sixth in the SWC.

Nelson lambasts audience rudeness at Xmas party
To the editor
I have never seen the people
at Rice, both students and fac-
ulty, act in as rude a manner
as they did at the President's
Christmas Party this past Tues-
day night (Dec. 13, 1966).
Many people were embar-
rassed, for as the Chorale sang
and then as the Band played,
such a large majority of the
guests were talking that the
people who wanted to hear
could hardly do so.
This was-particularly true of
the Chorale's performance.
Even when President Pitzer had
the serving of refreshments
stopped until after the program,
the noise continued.
Luckily the Band was louder.
Much worse than the discourte-
sy which this noise was to those
trying to hear was the insult
that it was to those trying to
perform.
The members of the Rice
Chorale '(who are just as busy
as anybody else) spend many
hours rehearsing in order to
be able to present programs of
which the whole Rice communi-
ty can be proud.
They receive no academic or
monetary' compensation for this
time and have now been deined
even the appreciation of their
friends and teachers.
The Chorale and Band both
gave excellent performances
Tuesday night. It's a shame so
many people who were present
missed them.
