Fish Drill Team Organized;
Officers, Members Named
Senate Shorts
By BARNEY FUDGE
Talking about games that are
worth the price of admission—
oh, me—last weekend’s game was
really worth it! Both teams
helped to make the whole after
noon quite interesting. I hope
Thanksgiving Day isn’t quite as
valuable. It would be better not
to receive the full value of the
ticket for a close game and beat
the "heck” out of the Horns.
Meanwhile, back at the Student
Senate, which is responsible for
appointing students to several
committees that serve the Uni
versity in various ways. One of
these is the Exchange Store Ad
visory Board whose purpose is
allocating the surplus funds of
the Exchange Store. Another is
the Accident and Fire Prevention
Committee. The main function of
this committee is the handling of
the safety program for the Bon
fire. We are now approaching the
weekend during which the Bonfire
will be built. There can never be
too much said about the hazards
of building the world’s biggest
fire. To say that it’s a lot of fun
and hard work is an understate
ment. Just remember to be care
ful.
Other committees that work
with the Senate’s sponsorship are
the Peace Corps Advisory Council
and the Traffic Claims Court,
which is one of our most active
committees.
During the course of the year,
the Senate itself forms commit
tees to carry out specific jobs. We
have, at the present, three such
committees. One is working on
student government reorganiza
tion, one on the Twelfth Man
Bowl, and one on making arrange
ments to provide Reveille III with
formal obedience training.
Remember to build the Bonfire
with caution. It will be bigger
and better if it’s built with no
Aggie injuries. With the biggest
bonfire and sweetest victory in
quite a while, this Thanksgiving
is going to be a lot of fun.

The Finance Society will have
its fall barbecue tonight at 6:30.

Reese said the unit will probably
be reduced by the spring semester.
Scholastic and Cadet Corps rec
ord deficiencies usually thin out
the group.

Smog was in their noses, their
hearts were in their mouths ■—
and tears were in their eyes. This
was the condition of the Rice
Owls football fans in Saturday’s
7-6 loss to the Aggies.
In a day of hazy weather, the
play was equally indistinguish
able as each team took turns
stopping the other’s offense and
punting the ball up and down the
field. In all, there were 18 punts,
including 10 for the Aggies and
eight for Rice.
The crowd of 43,000 watched
the Owls add another frustrating
defeat to their already bulging
bag of similar losses this year.
The script was a little differ
ent, but the final result was the
same — a game lost in the final
minute of play.
This tear-jerker had a goat and
a hero as it worked toward its
exciting climax.
BIG TACKLE Frank Pustka,
Rice’s field goal kicker, was 4-7
going into the game. He came
out 4-11 as he missed four three-
pointers in which either of them
being successful would have
meant a possible win as the game
turned out. The last one proved
the most meaningful, as it did
mean the difference between
winning and losing for the Owls.
Rice had reached this final sit
uation in a series of exciting
moments that started following
their 86-yard, 14-play drive for
a score with just over a minute
left in the game.
Rice quarterback Robby Shel
ton, who had been ineffective,
was replaced by Robert Hailey
who Rice Coach Jess Neely calls
on when the pass is needed. It
was Hailey who directed the Owls
as they made their successful TD
drive. It was also Hailey who
figured in a crucial defensive
play by Aggie tackle by Rolf
Krueger.
AFTER ITS score, Rice decid
ed to go for a two-point conver
sion. Hailey took the snap and
dropped back to pass. This was
a pass he was not going to com
plete, as the 225-pound Aggie
sophomore tackle draped around
him and together they took a
fast trip to the turf. This was
only one of the many tackles that
Krueger turned in all day, but it
proved the most timely.
This was not the end of the
drama, though. As relieved Ag
gie fans looked on, the Owls
pulled off an on-sides kick and
recovered the ball on the Maroon
and White’s 46. Then, after two
clutch catches of Hailey passes
by first, fullback Lester Leh
mann, and second, wingback Glen
Hine, the Owls had a first down
on the Aggie 15 with 14 seconds
left in the seemingly endless
game
The stage was now set for
Pustka. He had missed three
longer tries, as this one was to
be attempted from the Aggie 21,
making it a 31 yard attempt. The
boot was long enough, but it was
just to the left of the uprights.
UNTIL THIS chain of events,
the game had been made up pri
marily of the kicking of the Ag
gies Steve O’Neal and Rice’s
Chuck Latourette. O’Neal’s 10

Smile And Hula
Impress Escort
By PATRICIA HILL
Each day Andy Tice hustles on
over to the P.O. in great antici
pation of what the mail has in
store for him from a popular
teen-ager.
Tice, a junior marketing major
from Rockport, was the escort for
Sandy Roberts, who won the title
of “Miss Teen-Age America” in
Dallas November 5.
“Gee! It was sort of unbelieve-

NEW SWC CHAMP
John Heffner stands tired, relieved—the new Southwest

See
able,” was Tice’s answer to “what
was it like . . .”
Tice also escorted Miss Rob
erts to a dance and barbecue on
Friday before the Saturday pag
eant. He had no idea at the time
that she was to be the luckiest
teen-ager in the United States in
less than twenty-four hours.
Tice said that at the dance
on Friday he and Sandy got to
know each other. “Her smile and
her hula” were two things that
impressed Tice. He also com
mented that Sandy was “an in
telligent young lady” who hopes
to study electrical engineering at
Stanford University in California
when she graduates from high
school next spring.
Tice said that it was hard for
him to realize that Sandy had
won. H^ said she was “still the
same down to earth, level headed
girl” that she was the night be
fore.
“I’ve never seen a girl cry as
much as she did,” he remarked of
the Milpitas, California, resident.
Although Tice had to wait for
about an hour before he could
dance with her, he still enjoyed
the ball. He said the celebrities
there for the pageant sat and
talked to them as if they were
“just one of the bunch.”
“It’s a big joke now that I’m
Mr. Teen-Age America,” said
Tice. Of course, he expected to
get teased just a little bit by
the rest of the Singing Cadets.
Tice feels that it was “the
greatest pageant ever!” But
naturally . . . when you’re “Mr.
Teen-Age America!”
