Rice Owls happy with performance
DAVID BOGGAN
Battilion Staff
Traditionally the locker room of
the losing team is a silent place
where heads hang low and depres
sion abounds.
Why, then, was there dancing,
joking and laughter in the Rice
Owls’ locker room Saturday night
after they were defeated by the
Texas Aggies? Why were postgame
congratulators telling Rice players,
“Good game,” instead of, “Better
luck next time?”
Simple. The Owls, in last place in
the Southwest Conference, were
defeated by the nationally ranked
Aggies, conference co-leaders, by a
score of only 28-14. And had a
couple of key plays gone Rice’s way,
the final score might have reflected
the true closeness of the game. No,
the Owls were not jubilant over
their loss, but they were not
ashamed of their performance
either.
“I would have to say I was satis
fied,’ said Owl split end David
Houser, who dropped a fourth quar
ter end zone pass that would have
put Rice within striking distance of
the Aggies. “Of course, I would
have loved to have won.
Houser said he felt that Rice
could have won had it not been for
all the passes Owl receivers drop-
ped.
Rice coach Homer Rice seemed
to change his offensive strategy at
halftime, utilizing his rushing game
more in the second half and depend
ing less on the passing of freshman
quarterback Randy Hertel.
Hertel completed 10 of 27 passes
with one interception in the first
half for 131 yards while in the sec
ond half Rice completed five of 22
passes with one interception for 49
yards.
Rice’s first running play came late
in the first quarter and they only ran
15 times for 48 yards in the first half.
In the second half, howevl
ran the ball 22 times for M
Sophomore running bad'
Cooper was the game’s | f
ground gainer with 128yard*
carries.
“The team needed a lift
tried to give it to them,”
said of his second half p er f ort
in which he gained 101 ofl,
yards.
Cooper agreed with House I
Rice came close to upsettind
Aggies. I
“(The Aggies) are a good ten
I think we surprised them ”Ct|
said. “With a couple of breal
could have beat them.”
Aggie cornerback Mike Williams (No. 10) is jolted returned four punts for six yards. The Aggies got
by a Rice defender on a punt return. Williams past the Rice Owls 28-14.

Here is a story from one of our frustrated sports enthusiasts
and flag football players. Joe Schulte will receive five B.O.G.
cards from McDonald’s for his efforts.
Squadron 3 Whips
Story by Joe Schulte
Squadron 3 defeated D-2 last Monday to end the domination
of Dog Company over BC 3 for the past three years. Squadron
3 dominated offensively' and defensively throughout the game.
Amondo Ramirez, Paul Pauske, and Bill James highlighted of
fensive play. Quarterback Ramirez hit James with a 60 yard
pass in the first half to lead 7-0. at the half. Ramirez uncorked a
50 yard touchdown pass to Pauske in the second half to end the
game. In addition to Pauske, who went both ways, offense and
defense, Robert Locke and Joe Schulte were the defensive
standouts in the game. Squadron 3 now sports a 2 win, 1 loss
record to the playoffs.
