Runners warm up against TSU at Waco Saturday
The Rice University track
team easily beat Texas
Southern University, 95-41, in
a dual meet at the Rice track
stadium on Saturday. Rice so
dominated the meet that the
Owls scored 1-2-3 sweeps in
five events: the 120 high
hurdles, mile run, 440
intermediate hurdles, two-mile
run, and javelin.
There were some out-
standing individual per-
formances for the Owl
thinclads, and several
seasonal bests were set. In the
mile run, Jeff Wells edged out
teammate Rory Trup for the
victory, as both were timed in
4:07.1. John Lodwick was close
behind in third with a career-
best of 4:08.0. Trup's time was
also a career-best, and he and
Lodwick are now the second
and third fastest milers in Rice
track history.
Buddy Briscoe improved on
his best discus throw of the
year, with a winning toss of
174 feet. Chris Pecheux
scaled 15 feet in the pole vault
and Curtis Isaiah led the high
hurdles sweep with a 14.1
clocking, for two of the more
outstanding performances of
the meet.
Even without star sprinter
Zoe Simpson, who is still
recovering from an injury
sustained last weekend, the
Rice sprint relay was still able

Women's Soccer — The Rice
women's soccer team tied
UT women 1-1 last Saturday.
Track — Lovett took the
men's half college track meet
with 60 1/3 points. Baker,
Wiess, and Richardson placed
second, third, and fourth.
Brown amassed 61 points to
edge Jones, with 56V2. Baker
and Hanszen followed in that
order. In the Masters' 100-yard
dash, Steven Klineberg of
Lovett beat Bill Martin by a
full second, with a 12.1.
Stewart Baker of Wiess and
James Castaneda of Will Rice
trailed, both with a 13.2.
Aggie Joke — In one of the
Owls' recent games with
Texas A&M, Rice's Mike
Macha was on third base. The
rap on the Aggies is that if you
get past first they always
throw the ball back to one of
the bases and appeal, "He
didn't touch the base," the
august agrarians admonish
the umpires.
Well, anyway, Macha was
standing on third, the pitcher
had the ball, the batter was in
the box, and time was in. The
pitcher steps off the mound
and goes into the appeal
routine, throwing the ball to
the second baseman. Mean-
while, back at the ranch, Mike
Macha crosses the plate. After
he recovered, the umpire
signaled safe.
