Owls Rip Aggies, 67-57
Owls Score Heavy
In Hot Second Half
The Rice Owls refused to be denied in the second half of
their basketball game last night in Rice Gym as they hit 50
per cent of their field goal tries to down the hard fighting
Aggies 67-57.
The victory gave the come-back Owls a 6-2 Southwest
Conference basketball record and undisputed possession of
second place while the Cadets
remain in their fifth place
position.
In the first period of play,
the Farmers threw up a man-
for-man defense that throttled the
big guys from Houston and limited
them to 31 points behind the shorter
Aggies 33.
Coach Bob Rogers’ Cadets hit
40 per cent of their shots in that
hectic first period but cooled down
to 39.2 for the game compared to
Rice’s 43.1.
Tom Robitaillc and Temple Tuck
er pooled their combined height of
13% feet to win the battle of the
backboards against the out-sized
Ags. Rice had built its rebound
edge to a solid 43-28 to completely
control the back courts for the
game.
It was the shooting eyes of
Tucker and Gerry Thomas that
combined for 29 second-half points
and spelled doom to the hard fight
ing Cadets.
In the first two minutes of the
final period Rice scored two field

goals, by Robitaille and Tucker, to
take over a lead they never re
linquished.
The Aggies saw their last chance
for victory grabbed from their
hands when their sole height man,
6-8 Wayne Lawrence, and court
strategist Fritzie Connally fouled
out of the game in the final min
utes of playing time.
Rice assumed possession of sec
ond place when Arkansas beat SMU
in Fayetteville, 75-67. Robitaille
from Rice was the game’s leading
scorer with 18 points, closely fol
lowed by A&M’s junior college
transfer
Archie
Carroll who
led
his team with 17 points.

Intramurals
Class A football quarterfinals
were played yesterday and even
the cold weather and wet field did
not seem to dampen the spirit of
the teams that had managed to de
feat the tough competition and
come this far toward the champ
ionship.
Charles Graf spearheaded Squad
ron 13 to a 22-0 victory over “B”
Infantry. He passed to Glen Wil
liam,s for the first touchdown and
to Mike Brawner for the second
one. He also kicked the extra
point.
Archie Carroll
The 6-5 forward used his height to good advantage last
night as he led the Aggie scoring with 17 points in their
losing effort against Rice.
“B” Engineers had more diffi
culty with a stubborn Squadron 5
team, but finally outlasted them
for a 13-6 triumph.
Dudley Morris scored the first
TD for the winners after taking a
lateral from Ed Davis. The try
for extra point was good.
Wendell Creamer then scored for
Squadron 5 to narrow the margin
to one point. Jim Roberts scored
the .last TD for “B” Engineers to
give them some insurance points
and a seven-point winning mar
gin.
“A” Ordnance scored on the last
play of the game to turn almost
certain defeat into an 18-14 victory
over “A” Chemical. They scored
from the 20-yard line to really
“pull one out of the fire” and gain
a berth in the semi-finals today.
A strong “C” Infantry team that
was held scoreless in their league
playoffs Monday regained their
scoring punch yesterday to defeat
Squadron 23 by a score of 21-13.
