Owls and Tech conspire for tie in non-victory game
BY BILL JONES
& GREG NORRIS
For the first time in the his-
tory of the Rice Thresher the
sports staff has successfully
predicted a tie game. In fact,
we havie predicted the exact
score for every Rice game this
year, as well as the exact score
for each Oklahoma State game.
You will soon be able to cap-
ture more of our feats by Chan-
nel 16 in Houston, Channel 3
in Dallas and Channel 9 in
Brownsvill
Each week we will discuss
a randomly chosen Rice football
game from the past. In our first
show, next week, we will focus
on the 146-3 Owl win over
S.M.U. in 1916 under fabled
Rice grid coach Phil Arbuckle.
Oddly enough, the closest any
Rice game has come to that 149
point total was last week when
Georgia Tech tied the Owls, 36-
36.

The GRATEFUL DCflD quick/IIVCR
referee it is surprising that the
point total did not exceed the
previous record, as he gave
Georgia Tech everything but
victory. The poof officiating
was most obvious in Tcch's last
minute drive for the tie. Bill
Chilivetis had a great inter-
ception ruled an incomplete
pass and Tom Clanton was the
victim of a very questionable
pass interference call. But the
outcome of the game cannot
be blamed on the officiating, as
both teams seemed to conspire
for the tie.
The Tech offense could move
the ball at will against the Rice
defense as indicated by their
507 yards of total offense. Much
of Tech's success was a result
of Rice's underwhelming pass
rush which resulted in con-
tinuous pressure on the Rice
secondary. However, the Owl
defense did not fold under the
offensive presslure, but con-
tinued to provide the big play to
forestall Tech drives.
The Owl backfield was led by
Bruce Henley who had two in-
terceptions, a fumble recovery,
and a 52 yard punt return for
a TD. Providing more scoring
punch was Preston Anderson
who set a new Rice record with
a dazzling 99 yard interception
return. Bill Chilivetis and John
Kelly added two more intercep-
tions to bring the Rice total to
an impressive 5 for the game.
Unfortunately, the Owls also
had 4 passes intercepted, as
Gadd looked good at times and
other times didn't seem to look
at all. The entire blame does
not rest on Gadd, as the of-
fensive line could barely give
him enough time to find his re-
ceivers. Gadd, improving as the
game progressed, led the Owls
back into contention from an
early 14 point deficit.
Gadd's most frequent target
was tight end Gary Butler, who
made several outstanding catch-
es. Butler is now tied for top
receiver in the Conference, av-
eraging 5 catches per game.
But perhaps the finest catch
was the 28 yard touchdown re-
ception by Carl Swierc.
Neither the Owl offense nor
defense would succumb to a
strong Georgia Tech team. But
next week the Owls will have
an even bigger test against
LSU. The Owl defense will have
to meet the almost legendary
attack of Tiger Bert Jones,
and the Owl offense will have
to play the still fingering legend
of Tommy Casanova.
We predict Rice to play well
again and tie the Tigers, 14-35.
Concert offers Dvorak's Dances
BY THOMAS ZIMMERMAN
In a contest between music
of the classic, the romantics,
and the moderns, the moderns
scored a definite victory on
the program of the Houston
Symphony concerts of October
2nd and 3rd. Bela Bartok's bra-
vura and fiendishly difficult 1st
piano concerto, brilliantly
played by the young French
virtuoso Jean-Bernard Pom-
mier, was certainly the high-
light of the season thus far.
Completed in 1926, the work
had it's first performance at
the IFCM Festival in Frank-
furt in 1927, with the composer
as soloist and Wilhelm Furfc-
waengler conducting. Another
Bartok champion, Willem Men-
gelberg, was scheduled to con-
duct the first American per-,
formancie, but technical dif-
ficulties arose and this honor
later fell to Fritz Reiner. A
bravura, lithe work, which
TexPIRG plans
to price foods
Are you getting the best
buys when you grocery shop?
Rice TexPIRG is attempting to
find out. The group is planning
to hold a food price comparison
survey starting this Saturday
Oct. 7. Stores around the Rice
and Montrose areas, where most
students buy food will be sur-
veyed; the prices of 50 staples
and common food items will be
checked. The results will be col-
lated and published in the
Thresher. Volunteers are need-
ed to do the survey. Workers
will meet at the RMC (in front
of Sammy's) Saturday at 2pm.
All interested persons should
contact Virginia Jee at X221
or X391 or come Saturday.
Graduate and off-campus stu-
dents are especially welcome to
help as this affects them also.

abounds in seething energy and
contrapuntal vigor, it looks for-
ward to the Sonata for Two
Pianos and Percussion, written
a decade later. Pommier and
conductor Lawrence Foster es-
tablished a furious pace at once,
and never relented through lo
the very end. They (and the
orchestra) were en rapport at
all times, a marvel of give and
take between musicians totally
dedicated to the task at hand.
In Haydn's Symphony No.
99, which opened the concert,
Foster missed in his attempt
to show the right tempo and
achieve a total experience. One
might 'have wished also for
more pointed playing on the
part of the orchestra.
After intermission the' audi-
ence was treated to a rare per-
formance of the complete opus
46 of Dvorak's Slavonic Dances,
all eight of them! It was like
listening to a large scale eight-
movement symphony, where all
the major themes are recogn-
ized at once. I think everyone
had a good time,-especially Mr.
Foster and his orchestra. Each
dance was played with real
thought for its individual style
and character, and, moreover,
well played, with only a hint
of the orchestra being unable
to keep up at all times with
Foster's well laid out intentions.
It is perhaps not in good taste
to schedule this work as a ma-
jor offering, but I for one en-
joyed the experience of hearing
Opus 46 played intact, and not
as encore pieces on orchestra
tours.
On October 8th, 9th and 10th,
Lawrence Foster will be joined
by his new concertmaster, Ron-
ald Patterson, who will be solo-
ist in the Concerto No. 2 by
Henryk Wieniawski; the Bran-
denburg Concerto No. 6 by
Bach, and the Southwest pre-
miere of the Symphony No. 4
by America's rustic g,e n i u s
Charles Ives, which calls for 3
pianists, 7 percussionists, 16
brass players and two conduc-
tors!
