Rice’s coach says
prospects not good
By DAVID WALKER
Battalion Sports Writer
When the Southwest Conference
basketball coaches met in Dallas last
month for their annual pre-season
press conference every team in the
conference was given at least a
chance to win the league champion
ship, except one — Rice.
But it wasn’t the kind of slap that
would make the Rice coach mad —
he even agreed.
Coach Bob Polk enters his second
year as the head basketball man on
the Rice campus and is doing it with
one senior, six freshmen and six
sophomores. “We may be the
youngest team in America,” Polk
told the newsmen.
“I feel that we’ve got a better
team this year because we re
quicker. But to be frank, we re re
building,” Polk added.
The only senior in the Rice camp
is guard Charles Daniels, who
finished second in the SWC in scor
ing last year.
Daniels, a 6-2 two-year letterman
from Chicago, averaged 16.8 points
per game for the Owls last year even
though he didn’t become a starter
until the fifth game of the season.
“He started slow last year but he
came on strong in the conference
race,” Polk said. Daniels is getting
off to another slow start this season
because he missed over a week of
workouts because of a death in the
family.
“He isn’t in the best of shape yet,
but he’ll get there. All he needs is a
little playing time.”
Daniels isn’t the only Owl who
needs playing time though, with six
freshmen and six sophomores.
“I’m going to play the young kids
a lot, not because I want to, but be
cause I have to,” Polk said.
“We re going to play some tough
opponents to get the kids ready in
Pan American, Missouri and South
ern Mississippi,” Polk added.
Polk’s two big recruits are just
that — big. Doug Ekeroth and Paul
Fichtinger are both seven-footers.
Polk feels that even though he has
two seven-footers, one of the Owls’
weak spots will be on the boards.
“The two big kids are coming along
real well, but I don’t know if they
are going to adjust in time.”
To balance out the lack of re
bounding strength Polk hopes to
have a good enough offense that will
be able to work for the percentage
shot.
Other than Daniels, the Owls will
have two starters back from last
year’s 5-21 team.
Dave Louwerse and James Sim
mons return for their sophomore
year and hope to be starting again.
Polk says that each will start.
Simmons averaged 6.3 points per
game for the Owls while Louwerse
hit 5.7 per game.
In addition to Daniels and Sim
mons the Owls should get help from
Houston Kashmere freshman Madi
son Lane.
Polk is hoping that one of the 7-0
freshmen will come through, but if
not, either Louwerse or sophomore
Frank Jackson will start at the post.
With so much youth on the Owl
squad and so much experience
around the conference it can only be
termed as a rebuilding year at the
Institute — and no one knows that
better than Bob Polk.

HOUSTON — O. A. “Bum” Phil
lips, the Houston Oilers’ realistic
head coach, recognizes National
Football League officiating as a
two-sided coin — even if he occa
sionally loses the flip.
“One thing nobody ever points
out are the calls that go their way,”
Phillips said. “You can take any
NFL game film and find calls that
officials didn’t make against a par
ticular team.
“That means to me the officials
are at least being equal. I have great
faith in our officials. They are doing
the best they can and they are trying
to improve.”
A major controversy erupted
Nov. 9 when Pittsburgh defeated
the Oilers in Pittsburgh. Billy
Johnson lost a tug-o-war for the ball
in the end zone with Steeler defen
human factor out of pro football and

every play,” Phillips said.
Phillips said the instant replay
would seriously slow down games
and possibly would make officials
hesitant to make a close call with the
instant replay camera looking over
his shoulder.
“I just definitely wouldn’t want
it,” Phillips said. “I don’t think we
should ever get that mechanical.”

der Mel Blount. The Oilers thought
it was a touchdown but the official
ruled it an interception.
While the Oilers didn’t agree
with that call, Phillips said Houston
got a break on another key play in
the Pittsburgh game.
“When Dan Pastorini quick-
kicked 68 yards it drastically
changed Pittsburgh’s field position,”
Phillips said. “But we had a tight
end downfield on the kick and the
official didn’t call it. That could have
been a very crucial play.
Phillips said he opposed any plan
to use instant replay cameras in de
ciding controversial decisions.
