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-'

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.

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. And
the men who engineer the many different
products made by General Motors are
respected for the profession they practice.
That is why, when you are invited to join
General Motors as an engineer, you don’t
simply take a j ob—you start a career.
It is a career that is rewarding both profes
sionally and financially—starting on your first
day of association with General Motors at any
one of its oJ divisions and 126 plants in 70
cities and 19 slates.
During your early days at GM, for example,
you work with a senior engineer who guides
your career along professional lines.
You are also actively encouraged to pursue
your education towards an advanced degree.
For we at General Motors recognize that, in
doing so, you will become more valuable to
us and the engineering profession.
You are given the opportunity to obtain pro
fessional recognition through participation
in engineering society forums, presentation
of technical papers, winning of patents and
other recognition of your accomplishments'.
And you are also encouraged to take an active
role in your community’s affairs—because a
truly professional man is a. good citizen as
~weH as a-good eughreerr-— 1 . _
All this is for a reason—and a good one.
Many of the men who will fill the key posi
tions at GM in the future are the young engi
neers joining GM today. This is not theory,
it is fact. For 14 of our 33 Vice-Presidents are
engineers, 23 of our 42 Division General Man
agers are engineers, too.
Today we are looking for young engineers—
such as you—who may fill these positions
tomorrow. Thfe rewards — both professional
and financial—are substantial. If you feel you
have the ability, write us. It could be the most
important letter of your life.
June graduates!
