Rice had lost five straight games before their win over Arkansas last Saturday by a 35-33 margin. A consistent winner in big time college ball through the years, the Owls aren’t at all happy with cur rent developments, and head coach Jess Neely has been trying every trick he knows to get the Owls back into the win column. But it will be only an unhappy not a discouraged group that the Aggies face this weekend. With the taste of victory still sweet, Rice will be gunning for more at the expense of the Cadets. If versatility is an asset, Rice will have a potent backfield to show the Aggies Saturday after noon. . They have three men who can run at two or more positions, and do a good job of it. Big Bob Garbecht will be back and ready for action. The 200 pounder is the strongest runner on the squad, and a little more power in their attack could be an impor tant factor. Youthful Dicky Moegle, a good “spot” player on both offense and defense in the backfield should be recovered from his severe ankle sprain and ready to go. Bill Frazier can play three back- field positions, left half, right half, and full back. A groin in jury has prevented him from being in top physical condition since the SMU game when he went 79 yards for a touchdown. He appeared for one play against Arkansas Saturday and gained 17 yards. His return, to form aids Rice’s hopes greatly. Morris Stone is equipped to go at right half and full. He played fullback for the first time against Texas and was Rice’s best' ball carrier. Stone should return to his bid position at right half for the game Saturday. Regardless of Injuries Tigers Ready For Lexington Battle Coach O. V. Chafin takes his Consolidated High Tigers to Lex ington Friday night to clash with Lexington High School in their next to last district game. “We shouldn’t have any trouble,” Chafin said yesterday, “since Lex ington is not too strong. Their district record is one win, one tie, and three losses.” He revealed that Rod Cook, Dav id Bonnen, Doug Norcross, and William Arnold are still on the injured list and probably will not play. Back to battle will be Pinky Cooner, John Manthei, and Jimmy Bond, three' starters who have been sidelined with injuries. Class A Looks Rough “Although the plan is still in a tentative status,” Chafin reported, “that Class A status next year looks rough if it goes through. However, I look 'for. some teams (See TIGERS, Page 5) lii# Jl : fill J. R. Carroll Dave -Johnson, the other versa tile back is at home at left half and fullback. He gained 85 yards in 11 .carries against the Porkers, one more than Stone who carried the ball 14 times. If Garbecht’s ankle is healed sufficiently, the backfield should shape up with Garbecht at full, Johnson at left half and Stone at right. Chapman Bolsters Line Dick Chapman of Waxahachie, defensive tackle will be ready to bolster the defensive line. Coach Neely calls him as good a lineman as Bill Athey, the Baylor Univer sity stone wall. Neely has held a spell over the Cadets since coming to Rice, de feating them eight times in 12 meetings. The Aggies haven’t won over the Owls since 1944, and they will be seeking their eight straight win Saturday. Last year, Rice came into the game a 12 point underdog, and pulled one of the biggest upsets in the series in recent years by winning 28-13, as Teddy Riggs en joyed a big day.
