Owls make donation
to Aggie campaign
By CHAREAN WILLIAMS
Sports Writer
The Rice Owls are so generous
they could start a Southwest Confer
ence goodwill service.
Saturday at Kyle Field, the Owls
gave to the “needy” — Texas A&M
that is. The Aggies needed offensive
production and they needed a win.
They got both.
Of A&M’s 38 points, 28 were the
result of typical Owl blunders.
Rice Head Coach Watson Brown
said that’s the way it’s been all season
for the Owls. Let’s face it, Watson,
it’s been that way since 1963, when
the Owls posted their last winning
record, 6-4.
“It was the same of song, fifth ver
se,” Brown said. “No consistency. All
I do is walk in the locker room each
week and hurt. So do the kids. It’s
the same thing over and over. It’s
frustrating and I don’t like it.”
Two key mistakes, a fumble on
Rice’s third play from scrimmage
and a blocked punt on its next pos
session, put the Owls in a hole they
never managed to crawl out of.
With A&M already leading 7-0,
courtesy of the fumble recovery,
Owl punter Steve Kidd went back to
punt for the first time since injuring
an ankle in September.
Aggie lineoacker Mike Ashley
went untouched through the Rice
line and blocked the punt, giving
A&M the ball on the Rice 30-yard
line.
“When I got the ball they were all
there,” KidcFsaid. “I thougnt I could
kick it over them, if I held it close.
It’s the first punt I’ve ever had
blocked and it flustered me the
whole game.”
Brown said the linemen were to
blame for the blocked punt.
“My linemen changed their block
ing scheme right at the last minute,”
Brown said. “It was a bust. It wasn’t
Kidd’s fault.”
In the second quarter, the Owl
punt coverage team set up another
Aggie touchdown, dashing any
hopes of a Rice comeback. A&M’s
Jimmie Hawkins took a Kidd punt
68 yards for the score.
“I got clipped on that (return),”
Kidd said. "My back still hurts. I
thought for sure they’d throw a
flag.
Before the end of the half, the
Owls made two other crucial mis
takes on their special teams.
A low snap, on a 41-yard field
goal try, cost the Owls a shot at three
points. Then, with time running out
in the first half, A&M was forced to
punt. But Rice was flagged for hav
ing 12 men on the field, giving A&M
a first down and eventually a 40-
yard field goal by Alan Smith.
Brown wasn’t pleased with Rice’s
version of the Twelfth Man.
“I’ve never had a team that had 12
men on the field,” Brown said.
“Maybe someone will give us credit
for trying to do anything to stop
them.”
Rice’s offense didn’t start moving
the ball until the fourth quarter. Owl
quarterback Kerry Overton, starting
in place of injured Mark Co-
malander, directed an option attack
that accounted for Rice’s two late
touchdowns.
“When the quarterback doesn’t
execute, the team can’l
ball,” Brown said. “Kern m
down and started moving m
fense. He did some goodthirT
last half. We missed Martfl
malander, especially since y
didn’t play well the first half." 1
“Success brings confidtuj
Overton said. “I got confideitl
the game went on.butitwasiooj
I just need to turn the po»tl
sooner.”
Except for two fumbles,fresh!
running back John Davis kdiJ
game, gaining 90 yards on n|
ties.
“I got more playing timetiJ
usually do,” Davis said. “Usual!
alternate backs. The offense!
never really got a chancetoeseJ
because of the turnovers."
Although the offense perforj
as they have all season,the0«l|
fense showed vast impraejJ
from last week’s 30-12 loss toTJ
Tech.

"I thought our defenseti!
well,” Overton said. “They&J

Rice, which owns a 21-game9
losing streak, still felt theygnel
Aggies the game.

“They weren’t much ter!
us," Overton said. T wish vea
play them again.”
Aggies
(continued from page 9)
A&M running back Anthony Toney,
who rushed for 49 yards on only 7
carries. “Besides that, we pretty
much played an error-free game for
the most part. If we do that, we can
beat anyone in the conference.”
Unfortunately, the Aggies didn’t
defeat just anyone — they beat Rice.
Everybody knew they would.
The Owls have been labeled a
passing team ever since the last ice
age, but Rice Head Coach Watson
Brown’s run-and-shoot offense only
completed five passes against a mer
ciless Aggie secondary.
“We surrounded them,” Sherrill
said. “They started running the op
tion because we were really defend
ing the pass. Our game plan was
stopping the pass, so we didn’t con
cern ourselves with stopping the
run.”
The concern now shifts to the fu
ture.
Coming off the exciting “Rice
Bowl,” the Aggies must improve
their defensive strategy against the

SMU Mustangs this Saturday. Every
area of the Mustangs’ offense war

pass equally well.
“We’U have to play as well as we
have all year against SMU," Sherrill
said. “Tney’H be ready to play re
gardless of what happened in Aus

“Are you going to tear’em up?," a
sports writer joked.
“We won’t miss the kickoff, if
that':

“Is this victory theturan

United Press International
IRVING — Quarterback Danny
White, returning to the starting
lineup after spending the first half
of the season in a backup role, threw
for 219 yards and two touchdowns
in the first half Sunday to spark the
Dallas Cowboys to a 22-3 decision
over the Indianapolis Colts.
Dallas remain atop the NFC East
with a 6-3 record while the Colts fall
to 3-6 caused by a mistake-prone ef
fort that included two fumbles and
an interception in the third quarter
alone.
Dallas Coach Tom Landry chose
Gary Hogeboom over White to start
the season, but after Hogeboom suf
fered through a series of ineffective
performances White was named to
start against the Colts.
White responded with an out
standing first two quarters and the
Cowboys, taking advantage of a se
ries of Indianapolis miscues, turned
conservative in the second half .
In addition to a steady perfor
mance from White, Dallas running
back Tony Dorsett gained 104 yards
(his first 100-yard effort of the sea
son) to move past the 9,000-yard
mark for his career. Dorsett, how
ever, fumbled twice in the first quar
ter to slow down the Cowboys' of
fense.
White threw a 38-yard touchdown
pass to Tony Hill early in the second
quarter and hit tight end Doug Cos-
bie with a 5-yard scoring pass with
just nine seconds left in the half.
Rafael Septien then contributed
field goals of 19, 19 and 24 yards in
the second half, all of those set up by
major Indianapolis errors.
