Rice Bids Heavily In Do-Or-Die Tilt The Rice Owls, proud holders of second place in the Southwest Conference basketball race, host the fifth place Aggies tonight in Rice Gym at 8 for the Cadets do-or-die effort to remain in contention for the conference pennant. The Aggie Fish look for their first conference win in five tries against the Owlets in a preliminary match. Temple Tucker, an All-Conference selection last year, brings his lanky 6-10 frame and 259 points onto the court for a battle of giants with the towering Aggie scoring ace 6-8 Wayne Lawrence. Tucker’s wingmate, Tom Robitaille, will lend a hand in the Owl’s scoring punch with his. height, 6-9, and his deadly shooting eye that has collec-' MAUPINTOURS /1958 ADVENTURE! EDUCATION! ted 251 points this season. Rice, the pre-conference favorite, has finally started living up to expectations as they pulled a resounding upset last week over the league-leading Ar kansas Razorbacks, a team that defeated the Aggies 67-51 in their last meeting. In their last outing with the Farmers, the Owls trailed most of the game, only to tie the score at the end of regulation play and finally forged ahead in the over time period to take a close 62-59 decision. In that contest, Rice hit 25 of 58 floor shots for a 43.1 per cent average, much better than the 37.5 per cent that the Aggies were able to muster. In White Coliseum that night the height advantage the Owls boasted didn’t serve them much advantage as the aggressive Ca dets out jumped them on the back- boards to gather 45 rebounds to the visitors’ 34. Many sportwriters and specta tors believed that it was a victory thait Rice ill-deserved. A Rice victory tonight could move them into a deadlock with Southern Methodist for the lead should the Methodists beat Arkan sas, so they have plenty of incen tive to give their all. The Farmers now have a two- game winning streak that they would like to see continue up to eight straight that could put them in the palace sitting on the throne. Like the Owls, the Aggies are a much-improved team that is only now beginning to show its real po tential. In the last eight games the Cadets have won five of them and set a new team scoring record to raise their morale.

Main, Bryan TA 3-2524 Because engineering is a profession at GM -we offer you a career-not a job REASON engineering standards at General Motors are so high is that GM recognizes engineering as a profession.
