THE BATTALION
College Station, Texas Friday, October 31,1
The Texas Aggie Fish capital
ized on 12 Rice fumbles and three
pass interceptions to polish off
the Rice Owlets 36-8. The game
was played last night on a very
muddy Rice Stadium in Houston.
The Aggies scored first on a
35 yard drive in three plays. The
Ags inherited the ball on a fum
ble by Rice’s Bill Chilivetis on
the Rice 35. Max Bird covered
the ball for the Fish. Vance Ker-
bow, the game’s leading rusher
with 114 yards on 12 carries,
scored the first of his three
touchdowns on a 10-yard burst
up the middle. Buster Callaway
kicked the first of four extra

points and the Fish led 7-0.
With 1:21 remaining in the
opening period, Boice Best and
Kent Finley tackled Owlet quar
terback Jody Turner in the Rice
endzone for a safety.
Early in the second period,
Boice Best pounced on a fumble
and the Fish were back in busi
ness on the Rice 24-yard line.
Kerbow popped through the Owl
et defenders for a 24-yard scoring
jaunt and Callaway converted the
extra point to bring the contest
to 16-0.
Gary Whitehead was the next
Fish to get into the ball stealing
act. He robbed Rice’s Ron Arce-
neaux of an intended pass to put
the Fish in control on the Rice 19.
Quarterback Lex James found
split end John Swedeen behind
the Owlet secondary for a quick
six points from 19 yards out.
Callaway’s kick was good and
the Fish celebrated a 23-0 lead.
Rice finally got its offense
started late in the second quarter
as they marched 49 yards in seven
plays with Bruce Gadd hitting
Greg Butler for three yards and
a touchdown. Gadd rolled out to
the right side on a keeper for
the two-point conversion.
On the ensuing kickoff, White-
head gave the 2,100 wet fans
something to talk about during
halftime as he fielded the kick
on the Aggie 25-yard line and
raced 50 yards down the east
sideline before being helped out
of bounds by Arceneaux. The last
possible man who had a chance
to catch him.
The Fish opened the third quar
ter with Grady Hoermann pilfer
ing an Owlet pass and returning
it for 14 yards. On the first of-

LINEBACKER SUPREME
Buster Adami will be one of the starting linebackers Sat
urday against the Razorbacks in Fayetteville. He calls
the defensive signals and is one of the main reasons for
the Aggies’ tough defense this year.
It's home for about 30% of our
approximately 4300 people. It's one of
the most technically advanced build
ings in this most modern, technically
advanced city.
The Electric Tower is only the
most obvious indication of our growth.
We have the world's most advanced,
computerized Energy Control Center
under construction and nearing
completion. Our new instantaneous
data recall Customer Information
System provides our service representa
tives with the information they need to
handle any customer question or
request within seconds.
Our management is looking ahead
now to the end of the century. One
day they may be thinking in terms of
next week . . . the next day in terms of
the year 2000. Anticipating problems
that could arise and devising ways to
solve them.
The challenge to us is staying ahead
of the growth of the Houston-Gulf
Coast, one of the most rapidly expand
ing sections of the country. We have
to keep building and adding and
planning to make sure we grow even
more rapidly than our service area.
All this requires talent. . . bright
minds that aren't afraid of change or
challenge, and in just about every field.
We need people who can think about
the problems of tomorrow while
supplying the needs of today. There's
no better way to grow than in a grow
ing company serving a growing area.

fensive play for A&M from scrim
mage, Kerbow smelt the Rice
goalline and was not be denied
as he romped for 30 yards un
molested.
The rest of the third period
involved a give and take of fum
bles, pass interceptions and pen
alties. The Fish were guilty of
12 infractions for a total of 151
yards. They also had three pass
interceptions and lost five fum
bles.
In the fourth period, Fish
Coach Jim Keller sent in a fresh
offensive team. The spotless white
jerseys cranked up a drive which
yielded them a touchdown and
dirty jerseys like the rest of the
team. Jerry Sherman went the
final 12 yards for the score to
bring the total to 36-8.
Adami Anchors
Aggie Defense
In these days of soaring scores,
the Texas Aggies are showing
that there is still a place for
defense.
In their last five games, the
Aggie defense has allowed just
six touchdowns. Until Texas Tech
scored with 1:16 left in the game,
A&M had not allowed a tuoch-
down in five quarters.
A major share of the credit for
that performance goes to senior
linebacker Buster Adami. Adami
calls the defensive signals and
also contributes some big plays.
His performance against Tech
played a big part in limiting the
potent Raiders to 208 total yards.
Making big plays isn’t anything
new for the Freer native. Adami
made a fourth quarter intercep
tion which secured A&M’s 10-7
victory over Texas in 1967 and
cinched the Southwest Conference
title.
But despite being a two-year
starter in the time-consuming
pressure cooker of major college
football, the 6-1, 210-pounder
hasn’t neglected the classroom
responsibilities of his scholar
ship.
After coming out of Freer as
president of his high school Na
tional Honor Society and vale
dictorian of his graduating class,
Adami has made the Distinguish
ed Student list at A&M and was
voted to the All-SWC academic
honor team. His major is govern
ment, and he plans to go to law
school.
