Criminal Element, Off, SRC No. 1 remain unbeaten
Monday League
Reckless Abandon swept by Ask
Bill in the season opener for both
teams 13-0. The reckless crew
scored all its points on the passing
of team captain Henry Johnson.
The first score came on a Johnson
pass to veteran Steve Sheffield for
28 yards and a touchdown.
Leading 6-0 after the first half,
Johnson aced the game with
another touchdown, this time a
seven yarder to Steve Dulin.
Johnson then connected again
with Sheffield for the PAT to
finish the scoring.
In other league action, Property
of Rice Phys Ed belittled the Big
Uns 53-0. The Phys Ed jocks led by
Jay Abramowitz, played
consistently well throughout the
game while the Big Uns could do
little right.
Tuesday League
SRC No. I, the No. 2 ranked
team in the pre-season poll, was
almost scared off the field by
Vishnu in a tough defensive battle.
After the dust had settled, SRC
No. I was relieved to find more
points on their side as they
squeaked by 14-12. The Sid team
scored first in the showdown on a
big 60-yard aerial by QB Greg
Arroyo to John Cockerham with
Rich Preng pulling in the extra
point. The second half was a
different story, however, as
Vishnu's German Armador scored
twice on the ground. His first run
was good from 10 yards out and his
second from 5 yards out. But
Vishnu's failure to convert on both
extra points resulted in the
winning margin for SRC No. 1.
Sid No. 1 scored their second TD
on a Jesse James pass to Ernie
Butler and the crucial extra point
went again to Rich Preng. A
defensive standout for Sid was
Cockerham, who intercepted two
passes.
Off, on the other hand, had a
field day in a 30-0 win over
NROTC-B. Off QB Jim Day's arm
was in fine shape as he threw for
four touchdowns of 50,2,10, and 2
yards. On the receiving end of the
aerials were David Luneau (2),
David Weiss, and Kevin
Campbell. Offs defense was
sparked by impressive play by
Harold Nelson and Mike Rogers.

Wednesday League
Mark Thomson's Mean Ma-
chine rolled over Richard Klein's
Good 'Ol Boys, 47-0. QB
Harry Millwater played an
impressive game as he passed for
six touchdowns totalling 209
yards. Millwater connected thrice
with Alan Porterfield, twice with
Mark Hall, and once with Gary
Wagner. The Machine then
brought in Stuart James to give
Millwater a breather and James
connected with Eric Bauereis to
end the scoring.
Thursday League
Criminal Element continued to
look awesome as they defeated
IGAJ, 45-6. Captain Matt
Williams started off the scoring for
the Criminals on two TD runs with
neither PAT being good. QB
Bobby Orr continued the scoring
drives as he passed twice to Mike
McGee for 12 points and then both
Orr and McGee added another TD
apiece on the ground. The scoring
was then capped off by an
interception return for another six
points by Tom Willcutts. If things
continued as they have been,
Criminal Element could be the
team to beat for the intramural
crown.
The Houston Eulers did it again
this Friday as they outplayed DO A
25-6. The Eulers were consistent
throughout the game, scoring
twice in each half, While DOA
could only muster a lone TD in the
first half.
As far as the Cunning Runts
were concerned, their win over
Warbird was too close for comfort.
The first half of the game was
scoreless as both teams threatened
only once. In the second half,
however, the Runts scored on a 48
yard pass from John O'Keefe to
John Clancy and also tallyed an
important extra point on an
O'Keefe pass to Vernoy Walker.
Warbird, on the other hand, was
forced to score on defence as the
offense could not put points on the
board, especially the crucial extra
point. Their lone TD come on an
impressive interception run back
by James West for 60 yards, but
this was not enough as the final
score showed the Cunnag Runts s
winning 7-6.

Northwest Crossing clips Rice, 1-0
The Rice Women's Soccer Club
suffered its first defeat Sunday in a
close and heated game against the
Northwest Crossing team. Using
their home field advantage,
Northwest scored the only goal of
the game during the first half with
a shot that tipped over the
extended fingers of goalie Brenda
Leach and narrowly missed the
crossbar. Play during the first half
was evenly matched, with both
teams forcing penetrations.
However, Northwest was more
aggressive than Rice in gaining
control of the ball, and making
quick, accurate passes.
Halfbacks Sue Taylor and
Jennifer Young helped control
midfield with numerous headings,
while Seneca Huckaby and
Annette Crabb anchored the
defense and minimized the
effectiveness of the Northwest
offense.
Velma Potash led the Rice
forwards in many attacks which
were halted by a rather hefty
Northwest center fullback who
know how to throw her weight
around at unsuspecting Rice
players.
Rice made several crosses and
shots but never managed to score.
Despite the fact that the game was
played on a sweaty 90° day and
without any Rice substitutions the
team hustled and kept up the
pressure until the final whistle.
The women's soccer team will
play Deer Park on Sunday,
October 7 at noon in Deer Park.
