The Southwest Conferences'
leading passing team in the Rice
Owls invade Kyle Field to do
battle with the Texas Aggies Sat
urday afternoon at 1:30.
The Owls are sporting a new
coach, their third one in as many
years, in A1 Conover. Conover
was a member of Bill Peterson’s
staff before taking the head
coaching job when Peterson
switched to the Houston Oilers.
The Owls have 42 returning
lettermen from last year’s 3-7-1
squad and looked like they might
be a contender for the conference
crown after the first four games
of the season.
Rice beat arch-rival University
of Houston 14-13 in their opener
and then whipped Clemson 29-10.
The Owls then tied an excellent
Georgia Tech team 36-36 before
falling to powerful LSU 12-6.
Rice has since fallen upon hard
er times. They lost to SMU on
regional TV 29-14, Texas 45-9
and Texas Tech 10-6. The Owls
ended their skid by upsetting Ar
kansas 23-20 last Saturday in
Little Rock, running their record
to 3-4-1.
The Rice offense sports con
ference leading performers in
three categories.
Quarterback Bruce Gadd is the
conference’s leading passer with
127 completions in 239 attempts.
Gadd has thrown eight touchdown
passes and is completing 53 per
cent of his tosses. He has suffered
17 interceptions.
Gadd is also the leader in total
offense with over 30 yards a
contest. His performance this
year places him ahead of the her
alded Joe Ferguson of Arkansas.
Rice also has the leading re
ceivers in the conference.
Tight-end Gary Butler and fresh
man split receiver Edwin Collins
both have 33 receptions this sea
son.
Rice runs its offense from a
spread-pro-style formation and
throws the ball about half the
time.
Gadd is joined in the backfield
by halfback Gary Ferguson, full
back John Coleman and slot re
ceiver Ron Arceneaux. Ferguson
is the leading ball carrier with
405 yards and is the third receiv
er on the talented passing team
with 19 receptions.
The Rice offensive line has Ron
Waedemon and Sammy Johnson
at the tackles, Bart Goforth and
David Vandiver at the guard spots
and Tommy Godard at center.
Where the Rice offense is lead
ing the conference in passing, the
defense is the cellar-dweller in a
few categories.
The Owls are on the bottom of
the pile in total defense and in
defensing against the rush. The
game pits strength against
strength and weakness against
weakness as the Aggies are last
in total offense in the conference
but have one of the outstanding
defensive units in the SWC.
The Rice defense lines up with
Larry Walling and Larry Med
ford at ends with Cornelius
Walker, Aggie running back Skip
Walker’s big brother and Jody
Medford at the tackle spots.
Rice has had some problems
with injuries at the linebacker
positions but all are healthy for
the Aggies.
Rodrigo Barnes, who missed
three games due to a bruised kid
ney, plugs the middle. John Kelly
and David Snellings guard the
outside.
Preston Anderson is the Rice
monster man.
The Owls pass defense, wlij
shut out Joe Ferguson with (i||
three completions for 37 ymi
has Don Bernshausen and (
Culpepper at the corners iij
Bruce Henly in the safety ]
tions. Henley is tied for the t®
ference lead in interceptions^
four.

THIS IS WHAT TEXAS DEER hunters are dreaming
of right about this time as deer season opens Nov. 18 in most
counties of the state. You don’t have to travel all the way
to South Texas or the Hill Country to bag a deer like this,
this buck took time out to pose for this picture near Well
born. David Rideout, biologist for the Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department, said deer like this are common in
Brazos county and elsewhere in the state due to spring and
summer rains which provided plenty of healthful foods for
them at the time of antler development. (Photo by Sylves-

Staubach Will Enter Game
When Dallas Win Assured
Rings enlarged to show detail. Trade-Mark Reg.
DALLAS <JP>—Dallas Cowboy
Coach Tom Landry said Wednes
day he wanted to cleanup any
misunderstanding he might have
with the news media on backup
quarterback Roger Staubach’s
status.
Landry said recent quotes at
tributed to him made it “ap
pear Roger was not a winner. I
was just trying to make the
point that the game ought to be
under control before he plays.’’
Staubach has not played a down
since he returned to the lineup
following shoulder surgery.
Quarterback Craig Morton has
taken the team to a 7-2 record.
Landry said when Staubach
came back that the situation
would have to be “disastrous” be
fore he played the hero of Super
Bowl VI.
“If we had to go with Roger,
there’s no question of my confi
dence in him,” Landry said.
“Roger might be rusty but he
would still win the game.”
The last two weeks Staubach
has warmed up to go into the
San Diego and St. Louis games
as the Cowboys built big leads.
However, Landry scrapped plans
to send him in after the Chargers
and Cardinals rallied 1 to make the
games close.
11 days are very critical for us.”
The Cowboys meet San Fran
cisco Thanksgiving Day after the
Eagle game.
