Powderpuff violence continues; four teams this year
This week marks the begin-
ning of the powderpuff season
with Jones meeting Hanszen at
9:30am Saturday and Brown
meeting Baker at 2pm Sunday.
Both games will be played in
the track stadium. If these
games are like those in the
past the fans will be treated to
enough thrills, blood and gore
to satisfy the crowds at the
Roman coliseum.
Seriously, these women have
practiced long and hard to form
some good teams. Hanszen and
Baker with their smaller pool
of talent and lack of tradition,
have to be the underdogs, but
then preseason powderpuff pre-
dictions (besides being alliter-
ative) are very precarious.
Brown won last year, when only
two teams competed, and ex-
pects to repeat this year. Jones,
despite some coaching problems,
should be ready. If you're look-
ing for a fun way to spend an
autumn afternoon (or morning)
ditch Bud Wilkinson et al. and
drop on by.
Jugs predict win

Morrice and Cynthia Cooper in
the backfield, and Charging
Terri Sheaffer at defensive
end. Adding to the effectiveness
is Julie Hardin, a super-killer
on the defensive line. With a
Jine-up like that and numerous
substitutes for added strength,
our opponents will be stopped
dead.
Offensively, the Jugs look
sharp. Sheryl Walling made a
very effective move from
last year's star performance on
the offensive line to calm, cool
quarterback, aided by return-
ing backs, Margaret Mut, (last
year's recipient of the Thresher
Play-Your-Heart-Out Award),
and Katy (Streak) Ross, known
for quickness and agility. At
offensive end, super-receiver
Ann Fannin is back in better
form than ever, and with a solid
offensive line getting tougher
every day, lead by Joni (I
wanna kill) Thompson at guard
and Marion (The Rock) John-
son as returning center, the of-
fense is prepared to slaughter.
Ail in all, this year's powder-
puff pre-season profile spells
disaster for the other women
on campus. Baker and Hanszen
have had difficulties recruit-
ing sufficient numbers of play-
ers, in spite of a reduction to
eight-person teams, and, al-
though we hear that Jones is
out for blood this year, the
combination of Brown's enthu-
siasm and power is sure to be
a winner.
Hopefully there will be a
large turnout for all the games.
Hanszen plays Jones on Satur-
day, November 10, at 9:30am
in the Old Stadium, and Baker
meets Brown at 2:00pm on
Sunday the 11th, same place,
with play-offs the next Satur-
day and Sunday. Come and sup-
port this unique spoilt; after
all, where but in powderpuff
would you hear the comment,
''Aren't the jerseys cute?"

Bike clubs plan midnight ride
Citizens for Hike and Bike,
the Houston Wheelmen, and the
Crescent Bicycle Club join this
week to sponsor "Houston's
First Annual Moonlight Bicycle
Ramble."
On Saturday, November 17th,
starting at 11pm, registration
will begin on the front steps
of the City Hall Annex. The
Ramble will actually begin -at
2am, Sunday morning Novem-
ber 18th. This event will take
bicycle riders on a moonlighp
tour of the city that will go
from the downtown area, and
near west side into Memorial
Park, finishing downtown at
■the starting location. The
Moonlight Bicycle Ramble is ex-
pected to last a leisurely 2
hours. Support personnel and
vehicles will accompany the
riders to provide emergency aid
if it is needed. A registration
Rice soccer is
winningest club
This week the Rice soccer
club attempts to regain its lead
in the Texas Soccer League
with a crucial game against the
University of Houston. The
Saturday contest will pit the
league-leading Cougars (6-1-1)
against the second place Owls
(6-2). UT also sports a 6-2
record, so a victory Saturday
would insure at least a tie for
first place.
Last week the Owls beat
Texas A&M, 1-0. Ken Lacey got
the lone goal for Rice in the
first half, as both teams con-
centrated on defense. The Owls,
7-3-1 overall, are the winning-
est Rice team and deserve sup-
port. The game is currently
scheduled for 2pm Saturday at
the Rice soccer field although
the time may change because
of the Rice-Arkansas game.
fee of 50c will be collected
from each participant before
the Ramble begins.
The main purpose of the
Moonlight Bicycle Ramble is to
provide an activity that is fun
for bicyclists in the Greater
Houston area while helping
focus community attention on
the bicycle as a vehicle and a
partial solution to problems of
urban transportation, pollution
and fuel shortages.
Citizens for Hike and Bike
is a non-profit organization
working on the development of
safe bicycle paths and routes
throughout the Houston area.
Both the Houston Wheelmen
and the Crescent Bicycle Club
are active promoters of bicycle
racing in Houston and arc af-
filiated with the Amateur Bi-
cycle League of America.
A second bicycling event will
take place this same wekend.
On Sunday, November 18th, at
10am, there will be a series of
Sunday Bicycle Races sponsored
by the Crescent Bicycle Club.
They will lie held at the Hof-
heinz Pavilion parking lot on
the University of Houston cam-
pus. There will be events and
prizes for both novice or "tour-
ist" riders and licensed amateur
riders.
