The $11,500, 54-hole tourna ment opens Friday over the 5,983- yard, par 70 Pharoahs Country Club. The Whitworth and Rector teams shot 15-under-par 57s to finish one-stroke ahead of Jan Ferraris, Betsy Rawls and Ger- da Whalen. Another stroke back were Sharron Moran, Ruth Jes- sen and Marilynn Smith. A 25 to 30 mile an hour wind swept the course Thursday and will be a factor in this inaugral event. The course is located about 10 miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico. “If this wind doesn’t calm down, I don’t think anyone will finish under par for the three days,’ said Carol Mann. A&M 49 yard line. ON THE THIRD PLAY, Owlet quarterback Gary Thomas drop ped back and fired a 46 yard touchdown strike to split end Jack Faubion. After receiving the kickoff after the touchdown and success ful point-after try the Fish, under the direction of Rocky Self at quarterback, drove again out to their own 49 where this time a fumble set the Owlets up in business again. Rice linebacker Roger Roitsch, who was in for most of the Owl et’s tackles during the night re covered for the home team. Again the Thomas to Faubion combination clicked as the 6-1, 175-pound end pulled in another aerial on the five yard line. Two plays later tailback Larry Cald well carried over from the three to give the Owlets a 13-0 lead with more than half of the first quarter left to play. A good point after boot gave the Rice Fresh men a 14-0 bulge. With 24 seconds to go in the first half the Owlets increased their lead to 17-0 when Kyle Freeman kicked a 32 yard field goal. THE FISH SET out to erase the goose egg on the scoreboard early in the third quarter when Thomas fumbled on the Rice 19 and the Ags recovered. Self then passed to Brad Norvell down to the six. Two plays later Self kept around end for five yeards and the Aggie score. The extra point try by Phil Dickerson was wide of the mark. With 2:14 to go in the game the Owlets were on their own 25 and with a 17-6 lead were intent on just grinding out yardage and wasting time. Fullback Charles Blackburn took a handoff from Thomas into the middle of the Fish line for what was supposed to be ashort gain. Suddenly, there was nothing but green in front of him and 75 yards and 10 sec onds later the Owlets were now 23-6 to the better. Fortunately, those last two minutes went fast.

Standing room tickets are sell ing and indications are the crowd will break the record of 56,686 which saw a baseball game between the Houston Astros and the Los Angeles Dodgers in June, 1966. The Astrodome officially seats 48,000 for football but additional seats were added to boost the seating capacity to 51,000 before the standing room tickets were made available. The largest crowd to see a football game in the domed structure was 52,783 which attended the Houston- North Carolina State game earli er this season. The oddsmakers have made un ranked Houston a slight favorite in the first meeting betweeen the two schools. However, the Houston Cougars were in the top 10 most of the season until drop ping out after last week’s 14-13 loss to Mississippi. Engineers Help yourself to an enriching career in exciting Houston!
