•' OWA,
Your breath
can blow
somebody's
mind.
Especially when it comes
on bad. And, usually, you're the
last to know.
Beam is a tiny, new pocket-
size breath freshener that can
make your bad breath flip to
good.
Just put two drops or a
spray of Beam on the tip of
your tongue and, like wow,
your mouth will start tasting
fresh to you.
And your breath will start
smelling good to everybody
else.
mmmm

If you breathe carry Beam;

Owls face Hog ace Montgomery
By DAVID NORMAN
If you've even been strolling in a hurricane,
or leaped from the 43rd floor of the Humble
Building, or chugged a quadruple Smirnoff
screwdriver (it leaves you breathless), you may
imagine what a visiting football player feels like
at turf level in Razorback Stadium, surrounded
by 35,000 hog-calling hillbillies. But you have to
use your imagination.
Normally, Fayetteville, Arkansas, is just an-
other sleepy Ozark semitropolis. But on those
crisp November afternoons when the U of A hosts
a SW conference foe, you can watch Fayetteville
triple in size, feel ah electricity moving through
the crowd that would provoke billy clubs in Chi-
cago, and give the Razorbacks an automatic 12-
point advantage. The corresponding disadvantage
is not what the "invading" Rice Owls need next
Saturday.
Intimidating
Subtracting from 35,000 a possibly unbiased
official or two, the membership of the Owl trav-
eling squad, and the number of Rice cheerleaders
who manage to hitchhike to the game, the scene
will produce "Whooo Pig Sooiee" in full-throated
shrieks. This moral intimidation for the Owls is
easily matched by the physical intimidation of the
Razorback roster.
Picked last summer as the conference sleeper,
Arkansas suddenly appeared at the conference
opener rubbing its eyes and flexing its muscles.
Last year's indecisive air was suddenly fanned
away by the movement of sophomore quarterback
Bill Montgomery's passing right arm. Entering the
November stretch the Razorbacks carry an over-
all record of 6-1, best in the conference, and
Arkansas' record for the month of November has
been 31-5 over the past nine years.
On offense the Razorbacks compare favorably
with Texas—definitely a bad omen for Owl fans.
Montgomery has already rated the comment of
"tremendous" from Frank Broyles, something
roughly equivalent to persuading the Lone Ranger
to utter "Uncle." Montgomery ranks as one of the
conference's top three passers, and last week
reached a peak in effectiveness with 20 comple-
tions in 28 attempts for 258 yards and two
touchdowns. Rice hope lies in the law of averages.
Efficiently offensive
Should Montgomery break his throwing arm,
he still would need only left-hand-offs to any of
his five running backs to maintain offensive ef-
ficiency. Glen Hockersmith and Bruce Maxwell
alternate at fullback, as do Bill Burnett and
Russell Cody at tailback. The playing time of any
of these four could be trimmed by fast-healing
David Dickey, a proven SWC threat. All these
backs catch well, and together with receivers
Max Peacock, Mike Sigman, and Chuck Dicus
blend into a very potent offense.
Defensively the Razorbacks are only fairly
devastating. They boast an excellent secondary
in Gary Adams, Terry Stewart, and Tommy
Dixon; the linebacking tandem of Cliff Powell
and Lynn Garner is effective. Traditional Arkan-
sas monster defense boasts Avogadro's number
of stunts, a facet which is most unsettling to an
offensive line. But Texas and Texas A&M
proved the Hogs vulnerable, and the Owls could
manage to score.
Weak feet
Punt returner Adams constitutes the strength
of Arkansas' kicking game; he ranks high in the
league and has scored twice this year. But the
foot aspect of football is the Hogs' weakest.
Punter Cary Stockdell awarded A&M excellent
field position last week, and a placekicker by the
enviable name of Bob White missed two of three
extra points.
Rice's rotating injured list now includes Gene
Hinyard, who was finished after three starting
years by a knee injury last week.
Against Texas Tech, the Owls reached a sea-
sonal low in potency, as six interceptions and one
fumble were lost to the Raiders. With an indecis-
ive situation in the rotating quarterback offense,
and a distinct inability to employ the fundamen-
tals of blocking and tackling, the Owls still grope
for a win. Unfortunately they should preserve
their hopes until TCU or Baylor. At least this
week it won't be on television.

What's so special about
Beechwood Ageing:
We must be bragging too much about
Beechwood Ageing.
Because we're starting to get some
flak about it. Like, "Beechwood,
Beechwood . . . big deal." And "If
Beechwood Ageing is so hot,
why don't you tell every-
body what it is?"
So we will.
First, it isn't big wooden
casks that we age Budweiser
in.
But it is a layer of thin
wood strips from the beech
tree (what else?) laid down
in a dense lattice on the
bottom of our glass-lined
brewing tanks. This is where
mimoi.

we let Budweiser ferment a second
time. (Most brewers quit after one
fermentation. We don't.)
These beechwood strips offer extra
surface area for tiny yeast particles
to cling to, helping clarify
the beer. And since these
strips are also porous, they
help absorb beer's natural
"edge," giving Budweiser
its finished taste. Or in other
words, "a taste, a smooth-
ness and a drinkability you
will find in no other beer at
any price."
Ah yes, drinkability. That's
what's so special about
Beechwood Ageing.
But you know that.
