Owl head coach George Carlisle is hoping the big fellow will be playing better than ever in the Owls’ stretch drive.

TMA cadets it ; to Carta?(M astadt, Cun*: Rico; andth The second p includes calls n BY JIM BUTLER Battalion Sports Editor Rice Field House is a bland brick building that looks like it is laid out for indoor tennis, or maybe hall hockey. Into this horseshoe shaped arena, 6,200 fans will be crammed, probably with a shoe horn, to see if the Rice Owls can slow down a Maroon and White drive toward the Southwest Con ference cage championship. A full house, the first in the memory of A&M Coach Shelby Metcalf, is practically a cinch to watch the important Owl-Aggie clash Saturday night at 8:15. THE AGGIES take an 8-5 sea son slate into the contest while Rice is 9-4. The Cadets are cur rently pacing the SWC with a 3-0 record with the Owls a game be hind at 2-1. The game will feature two rookie coaches — Metcalf of A&M and George Carlisle of Rice. Car lisle surveyed the situation from his second-story office in the field house and called the upcoming bat tle a “must” game for both teams. “If A&M wins, it is just about in,” Carlisle said. “This is definitely the big game in the conference.” IT COULD BE suspicioned that Carlisle’s knowledge of Aggie sharpshooter Bennie Lenox — gained from watching and coach ing Lenox for nine years at Clear Creek — might give Rice a little edge in stopping the Lynx. Car lisle emphatically denies this. “Oh, I know the things Lenox does best,” Carlisle said, “but that won’t give us an advantage.” Asked whether or not the home court advantage will be a factor Carlisle commented: “I don’t think it will be. There will probably be as many Aggies there as Rice stu dents since we have a much small er student body. A&M will have a little edge in rebounding. Our boy Rhine (Kendall) will hold his own, but A&M’s height advantage should make up for the difference. It should be an even game.” CARLISLE SAT on the side lines watching the University of Houston hand the Aggies a 73-65 loss Tuesday night.
