Owls try to send Bears into hibernation Saturday
Tommy Kramer
by Barry Jones
The Rice Owls host the
Baylor Bears this Saturday at
2pm in capacious Rice
Stadium. The Owls will be
looking for their fourth win of
the season. Baylor is 4-2-1 and
will be coming off a near-miss
tie with Arkansas.
Baylor has the best record
against the pass in the
conference and Rice has the
best passing game in the
league. The Playboy poll, put
together by pro scouts, picked
Baylor cornerback Gary Green
to be an All-American. Six
games into the season Green
has made 35 tackles, one
interception, and was named
ABC Defensive Player of the
game against Illinois. "I think
I've had a good year," the
senior from San Antonio is
quoted as saying. "I don't
know if I've just been given
respect by the other teams, but
nobody seems to throw my
way this year."
Another senior from San
Antonio, Rice's Tommy
The
Teachings
Jose Cuervo.
(asexcerpted from Chapter27of The Book.)
Yes, Chapter 27, wherein it says that Jose Cuervo is not only the
original, since 1795, supreme, premium, ultimate white tequila. But,
goes on to say that Jose Cuervo, as the ultimate, is also the ultimate
mixer.
As a true test, simply pick one from
Column A and one from Column B.*

Kramer, has been throwing
the ball in every direction this
season. Kramer is leading the
nation'8 quarterbacks in every
category except yardage
gained by passing. Rice's
James Sykes, Doug Cunning-
ham, David Houser, and Ken
Roy, are the four premier
receivers in the SWC. There
have been nine games in
which Rice receivers have
caught for more than 100
yards. Houser has four,
Cunningham three, and Sykes
two. James Sykes and Doug
Cunningham are one and two,
respectively, in receiving
nationally.
Baylor tailback Cleveland
Franklin and split receiver
Alcy Jackson are listed as
doubtful for Saturday's game.
Franklin has a hyperextended
knee and Jackson a separated
shoulder. However, Baylor's
offensive line is the biggest in
the league, averaging 245
pounds-per-lineman. If the
Rice defensive plays the way it
did in the fourth quarter of the
SMU game, it could make for
an interesting match.
Womens volleyball ends
Capping the highly success-
ful women's intramural
volleyball season with hard-
fought playoff games 1-6-1
Hellcat Playgirl Coalition,
captained by Mary LeSueur,
emerged the victor. Twenty-
eight teams, a record for the
women's program, were
formed into four leagues which
battled Monday through
Thursday evenings for the
coveted title.
Reaching the playoffs with
perfect 6-0 records were
Monday night's Apple Corps
from Jones North captained
by Marcella Whiting; Tuesday
night's Zoo led by Mrs.
Brettschneider from Biology;
Wednesday night's Vol-
leybelles from Brown cap-
tained by Kathryn Wallace;
and Thursday's league winner
1-6-1 Hellcat Playgirl
Coalition, a conglomerate
from Brown, Jones, and
Hanszen.
On the route to victory in the
semifinals 1-6-1, H.P.
Coalition defeated Zoo, and

Apple Corps slipped by the
Volleybelles in a 3-game
match. The Apple Corps were
then soundly trounced by the
Coalition in the finals.
College competition fol-
lowing the intramural
competition showed Brown
defeating Baker and Jones
winning over Hanzen in the
first round, and Jones
squeaking by Brown in the
finals in a 3-game match
which was called on the 8
minute time ruling in the 3rd
game with a score of 10-9. This
left tempers flaring and a sad
group of Brown girls who had
led the scoring in the third
game until the last 30 seconds.
It was a back door victory for
Jones who, when the smoke
had cleared, breathed a sigh of
relief—but still weren't sure
they were welcome in the
locker room. Mrs. McFall, the
director who enforced the
ruling with the officials, was
sure the safest exit was quietly
out into the night.
The quality of play in the
entire intramural and college
competition playoffs was at
the highest level women's
intramurals has achieved at
Rice, and the women are to be
congratulated for their fine
performance.
