Rice Revitalized After Upset
Owl Attack Features Freshman Quarterback’
When A&M takes its revitalized
football squad to Houston Satur
day, they will likely find an
equally revitalized team in the
Rice Owls.
As the Aggies were playing
what coach Emory Bellard called
“our finest all-around perform
ance of the season” in defeating
the SMU Mustangs 45-10, the
Owls were having their own little
field day in a stunning 17-7 upset
over the Arkansas Razorbacks.
Rice is sporting a 2-6 won-lost
record but all six of the losses
came against teams that were
ranked in the top twenty at game
time.
Rice will be A&M’s second foe
in a row to pit a freshman quar
terback against the Aggies’ prize
rookie, David Walker. Tommy
Kramer, who at this time last
year was directing San Antonio
Lee to the state 4A semifinals,
took over from junior Fred Geis-
ler. Sophomore Claude Reed has
since replaced Geisler as back-up
to Kramer.
Halfback Gary Ferguson and
fullback John Coleman make up
the rest of the Rice backfield.
Both are returning starters from
last year’s Owls.
Kramer’s favorite receiver is
flanker Ed Lofton who has snag
ged 31 tosses to place second in
the conference behind Bay
lor’s Charley Dancer. Split end
Carl Swierc has eight receptions
for 122 yards and a touchdown
while tight end Danny Johnson
has received but one pass and is
used mostly for blocking. Second
on Rice’s list of receivers is fresh
man halfback Ardie Segars, from
far away Far Rockaway, N. Y.,
who has 11 receptions to his cre
dit.
Sophomore Paul Guillory an
chors the offensive line from his
center position and is joined by
tackles Tommy Godard and Sam
my Johnson and guards Steve
Moore and David Vandiver. Moore
is another of the Owls highly
touted corps of freshmen.
Defensively the Owls rank sev
enth in the conference but are
second in pass defense, behind
A&M. A big reason for Rice’s
success in defending against the
pass is all-America safety candi-

Offensive Player Of Week
HOUCTON (AP) — Rice punt
er Mike Landrum — his friends
call him Goofy—revived the lost
art of kicking for the “coffin cor
ner” last week and it put the Ar
kansas Razorbacks in one.
Rice gained only 138 yards in
total offense to 404 for Arkansas
but Landrum’s deadly punting
and outstanding coverage by his
teammates allowed the Owls to
beat the Hogs 17-7 and snap a
five-game losing streak.
Landrum, a sophomore from
Tyler, punted nine times for a
40.3 average that included boots
of 51 and 65 yards. Five of the
punts landed inside the Arkansas
11-yard line. The Hogs had to
start drives at their own 7, 8, 7, 3,
and 11 yard lines due to Landrum
kicks.
Landrum’s pin-point accuracy
earned him The Associated Press
Offensive Player of the Week hon-
or, the first time the award ever
Simpson Following Jim Brown
Into Pro Football Record Books
NEW YORK — O. J. Simp
son is trying to follow Jim
Brown’s footsteps into the record
books. And he’d like to follow
Brown another way, too . . . main
ly out of pro football while he’s
still at the top.
“My main goal, of course, is to
be in the Super Bowl, to win the
whole thing,” the star running
back of the Buffalo Bills said
Tuesday before being honored at
a luncheon. “But I figure I’d like
to play maybe two or three more
years. Then I’d like to get out,
the way Jim Brown did.
“I don’t want to be one of those
guys who hangs on, you know,
just for the money. It’s tough to
leave those big contracts, but I
don’t want to still be playing
when I’m going downhill.”
Simpson, in the first year of
a three-year contract, looks like
he’s running downhill — like an
avalanche — almost every week
end.
The 26-year-old former Heis-
man Trophy winner from South
ern California, last year’s Na
tional Football League rushing
champion with 1,251 yards, has
already amassed 1,203 in this sea
son’s nine games.
That puts him within striking
distance of one of the NFL’s
greatest records, Brown’s 1963
single-season mark of 1,863
yards. If he averages 132 yards
in his remaining five games, he’ll
match it.
“I rarely think of records, I
only hope we win,” insists the
muscular, soft-spoken Simpson,
who set one NFL mark in the
opening game this year when he
stampeded for 250 yards against
New England, a team he’ll face
again Dec. 9.
“What I mean is, records are
a very nice thing to have. But I
don’t think they’re all that im
portant.”
The rest of the teams have got
ten smart to the fact that the
Bills don’t have anything resem
bling a passing attack, so they’re
throwing everything they’ve got
at O.J.
“It’s getting to be like running
against a stacked deck,” he said.
“The last few weeks they’ve
been putting eight men upon the
line and the teams haven’t been
shooting in. They’ve been sort of
sliding off in the direction of the
play. One thing, though — it’s
the linebackers who’ve been get
ting to me most of the time, not
the guys on the line. When the
linemen tackle you, it means your
own line isn’t doing its job. Our’s
has.”
has been presented to a punter.
Going into the game Landrum
said he was thinking about im
proving his average. “Ever since
I’ve been around football, I’ve seen
that when you are down and los
ing guys try to boost themselves
instead of the team.
“I know going into the game
I was thinking more of improv
ing my average than anything
else. But by keeping them in the
hole, our defense could afford to
give up 50 to 60 yards and still
keep them out of field goal range.
“So I forgot about my average
and just tried to keep them in the
hole.”
Landrum said the victory, which
gave the Owls a 2-6 record, really
was their first of the season.
“We feel it is our first victory,”
Landrum said “We played so poor
ly against Montana. We scored 20
points when we should have scoi--
ed 50. But this had to be a great
uplift.”
Landrum said he started out
the season just trying to hang
the ball up the middle but in the
last three games has started going
for the sidelines.
Landrum’s straight-away boo
mers also did the job. His
first punt of the game went 51
yards from the Rice 28 to the Ar-
kansa 21, where the Hogs netted
a three-yard return.
His other three boots gave Ar
kansas possession at their own 44,
16 and 36.
Coach A1 Conover tagged the
“Goofy” nickname on Landrum
last year shortly after Conover
collared Landrum at a Rice-Tex-
as A&M basketball game for what
Conover thought was too much
rowdiness.
“It didn’t help when I fum
bled a snap during spring train
ing and threw an interception,”
Landrum said. “But coach told
me I could go to the A&M basket
ball game this year and shout all
I want to—just don’t use sign
language.”
date Bruce Henley, a member of
last year’s all-SWC team. Henley
led the conference in interception
last year but has stolen only one
pass this year. The one intercep
tion was enough to give him the
school record for interceptions
with 14 and place him only four
away from the conference mark.
Joining Henley in the defensive
backfield are Gary Cox and Cul-
lie Culpepper at comerbacks with
Preston Anderson filling in at
monster man. Anderson is the
leading Owl interceptor with three
snags this year.
Rodney Norton and Richard
Hollis are the Rice linebackers.
Hollis is one of the heroes of the
win over Arkansas with a key in
terception which he erturned 29
yards for a touchdown that sealed
the game at 17-7.
In the middle of the Owl’s de
fensive line is half of one of the
season’s most interesting match
ups in noseguard Cornelius Walk
er. Walker is A&M halfback Skip
Walker’s older brother and both
are being considered for an all-
SWC berth. They will undoubtedly
meet face to face more than once
during the contest and the brother
that comes out on top may well
edge the other out for league re
cognition.
David Snelling and L a rr y
O’Neal are the guards and Bryan
Davenport and Jody Medford are
the tackles in the remainder of
the defensive line.
