Fish Fall To Rice, 23-6
By Jerry Grisham
The Rice Owlets struck early
and quickly Thursday night in
Houston as they put 14 quick
points on the scoreboard and then
held grimly on to their lead,
even managing to notch nine nore
to topple the Texas Aggie Fish
23-6.
The Owlets got their fist op
portunity when the Aggies, un
able to move the ball after re
ceiving the opening kickoff, were
forced to punt. The Rice rush
blocked Mitch Robertson’s punt
and the Owlets recovered on the

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas <A>>
— Pro - amateur teams led by
Kathy Whitworth and Jeanette
Rector tied for first place Thurs
day in the $1,500 best-ball pre
liminary of the Corpus Christi
Civitan Open Golf Tournament.
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.

Cooler Weather
Seen For Game
Revised weather forecasts for
Texas A&M’s football game in
Arkansas Saturday have cooled
the game-time picture.
Using new data, Jim Lightfoot
of the A&M weather station
dropped the temperature forecast
for 1:30 p.m. Saturday to 50 de
grees. He said the wind is ex
pected to be out of the north at
10 mph but that generally clear
conditions forecast earlier this
week should hold.
The Meteorology Department
officials said the generally clear
and cold situation forecast in
Bryan and College Station over
the weekend should hold,
HOUSTON </P) — Fifth . ranked
Georgia and the University of
Houston, two of the nation’s
highest scoring football teams,
meet Saturday night before a
crowd that may be the largest
ever to see an athletic event in
the Astrodome.
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.
