Both teams unimpressive as UH wallops Rice 116-72
by BRUCE BAKER
Rice and UH mopped up the
season Monday night in Hof-
heinz Pavillion. Both teams
turned in sloppy performances,
Rice committed 30 turnovers to
UH's 26. It was that kind of
game.
The game was over before it
started, and both teams seemed
to know it. For instance, Hous-
ton coach Guy Lewis started
senipr Clay Hoster over Mau-
rice Presley at forward. Hoster
is a player of the quality of the
average Rice player. This was
probably the only start of his
college career.
In the first half Rice's
hustle kept the UH from run-
ning away with the game.
Forced to put high arcs on
shots or get them blocked by
the outrageously superior
Cougars, Rice hit only 37%
from the field in the first half.
Rice managed to get off 43
shots to Houston's 39.
For most of the half Houston
led by a comfortable ton-point
Jt
margin and was able to stretch
it to 49-36 at the break. Mark
Werhle led Rice in scoring at
halftime with fourteen. How-
ever, he only played a limited
amount in the second half.
Neither were any of his
teammates able to score for
four and a half minutes into
the second half. Then Charley
Daniels hit a free throw. In the
meantime the Cougars were
running up a thirty-point lead.
It is important to note that Don
Knodel had been substituting
little-used players during this
time. By the end of the game
ho had four fi-eshmen playing.
Looking especially good were
Hill Sparklen and Charley
iJaniels. Sparkler® scored tliir-
l :cn points and was playing
vvll enough to draw fouls from
the likes of Presley and Sidney
Ivlwards. Daniels was also play-
aggressive basketball, not
'■•(.ting himself be intimidated
by the taller Cougars.
The Owls were trying to play
run-and-shoot with Houston in
the second half, a sad mistake.
Thi■ Cougars, much faster at
getting back on the defensive,
never allowed Rice to success-
fully run the last break. Guards

ber one match for Rice with

lopsided match of the day with
a 8 & 6 win over Bill Sholton.
Johnson had his best day yet
as a Owl golfer with his one-
over-par 73, taking Medalist
honors. Alan Ahrens also won
handily by beating SDS' Dave
