Frosh lose to Baylor Cubs in rain
By LARRY TURNER
Thresher Sports Staff
The Rice Owlets squared off
against the Baylor Cubs last
Thursday and came out on the
short end of the score. The
Cubs won the mud-battle by a
score of 16-6.
The first half was pretty un-
exciting and wet as the two
teams fought to a scoreless tie.
Rains fell during most of the
game and turned the field into
a sea of mud and football play-
ers.
The second half kick-off was
fielded by Rice and returned
to the 47. Larry Caldwell fum-
bled on the first play from
scrimmage and the Cubs recov-
ei-ed. A 40-yard TD pass on the
first Baylor play and extra
point kick put the Baptists
ahead to stay with 19 seconds
gone in the half.
Fumbles proved as costly to
the baby Owls as to their older
brothers. Two minutes later a
bad pitch from Gary Thomas to
Bill Fleming was recovered by
the Cubs in the Rice end zone.
Again the PAT was good and
Baylor led, 14-0.
Caldwell fumbled the kick
off and Baylor recovered. Chris
Hale stopped the Cub threat
with a timely interception on
Rice's five-yard line. On the
next play, Thomas was tackled
in his end zone to give the
Cubs their final two points
with 10 minutes left in the
quarter.
The lone Rice score came
after the Baylor punter fum-
bled the snap from center and
lost six yards trying to run.
The Owlets took over first and
goal from the Cub nine. Cald-
well picked up eight through
the line and then Charles
Blackwell carried over for the
score. The try for two was not
good.
The offensive effort was
pretty weak as the frosh ac-
cumulated a net total of minus
four yards rushing and 118
yards through the air. Fleming
caught three passes for 33
yards.
The defense had a good day
except for the one touchdown
pass. They held the Cubs to
only 45 yards on the ground
and allowed them to complete
only six passes for 98 yards.
Bucky Allshouse intercepted
two Baylor passes, his first
two of the year. Hale's grab
was his second this season.
The Owlets finish their sea-
son with a game tonight
against the Texas Tech Pica-
dors in Rice Stadium. The Tech
frosh bring a potent offense
to Houston to challenge the de-
fense that has helped the Owl-
ets to a 2-2 season mark.
Longhorns crush Forgotten Few
for 'mural football championship
By RONNIE WHITE
Thresher Sports Staff
The mighty Longhorns are
the 1967 undergraduate league
intramural football champions.
In Monday's championship
game, the Longhorns crushed
the Forgotten Few by the in-
credible score of -55-0.
The Longhorns earned the
right to play the Forgotten
Few by defeating the TRB's
25-6 last Thursday. The For-
gotten Few had drawn a bye
after winning the Friday
league. As the championship
game neared, everyone involved
sensed a close, tight game.
But the Longhorns, behind
the passing of Dudley Van
Court, and the pass receptions
. How to
interview,
130 companies
ill half an hour.
Talk io the man from General Electric. He repre-
sents 130 separate GE "companies" that deal in
everything from space research to electric tooth-
brushes. We call them product departments. Each
one is autonomous with its own management and
business objectives. That s why a job at General
Electric offers the kind of immediate responsibil-
ity you might expect to find only in a small busi-
ness. Right from the start you get a chance to
demonstrate your initiative and individual capa-
bilities. And the more you show us, the faster you
will move ahead. As you do, you'll find that you
don't necessarily have to spend a lifetime working
on the same job in the same place. We have opera-
tions all over the world. Chances are you'll get to
try your hand at more than one of them. Our inter-
viewer will be on campus soon. If you're wondering
whether it's possible to find challenging work in big
business, please arrange to see him. He speaks for
130 "companies."

An equal opportunity employer
of captain Joe Pratt and Jim
Levering, were no match for
Friday's heroes. Van Court
passed for 300 yards and eight
touchdowns, with Pratt on the
receiving end of three scoring
strikes.
The defense also deserves
much of the credit for the win.
Led by Bill Costa, Cal Court-
ney, and Bob Stalker, they al-
lowed the Forgotten Few only
85 total yards, no penetrations,
and only one first down, which
came in the last two minutes
of play.
In the graduate league, the
Physics met the Geojocks Fri-
day for the championship of
the Tuesday league. In a wdl-
fought contest which was tied
0-0 at halftime, the Physics led
6-0 with about 2 minutes left to
play.
Steve Guthier of the Geo-
jocks then got behind the safe-
ty man, and hauled in a long
pass to knot the game at 6-6.
The same pass pattern to Gu-
thier was good for the extra
point and the Geojocks hung
on for a 7-6 victory over the
Physics. The win enables the
Geojocks to meet the Euhlers,
champions of the Wednesday
league, for the graduate title.
