A&M Soccer team kicks its way to title
The Aggie Men’s Soccer Club
put in a great effort in the fall to
wia the Texas Collegiate Soccer
League champonship with a 13-0-
1 record.
Club President Anthony
Thomas said, “We’re really proud
of our achievement and trying to
get more recognition. It was
reallv a team effort — I’m proud
of the wav we played.”
The fall schedule was only the
second year of the league, with
the Aggies taking thira place in

Latest Rice coach
retains optimism
HOUSTON (AP) — After a de
cade of unprecedented punishment
of Southwest Conference schools for
recruiting violations, will there fi
nally be a dawning of the age of “the
Rice way?”
Will kice be looked upon as the
league’s shining beacon because of
its acadamk integrity instead of its
laughing stock because of its athletic
ineptitude?
Probably not.
But it’s an intriguing thought’for
new Rice football coach Fred Golds
mith.
“I really believe this is the best
time in the last 25 years for the re
surgence of schools that have main
tained their academic integrity,”
Goldsmith said.
“This is an. institution that just
doesn’t give lip service to academics
in athletics. Its one that stands for
everything that intercollegiate ath
letics is supposed to be.’’
In the past decade, athletics in the
SWC has meant cash payments to re
cruits, a death penalty for one school
and probation for six other institu
tions.
The woeful Owls haven’t had a
winning football season since 1963
and the past season is well docu
mented as an 0-11, part of an 18-
game losing streak that is the na
tion’s longest.
Rice and Arkansas are the only
SWC schools to escape NCAA sanc
tions in this decade.
Perhaps the rest of the SWC
should join Rice.
“It’s happened at Duke, Wake
Forest, Northwestern and Vander
bilt,” Goldsmith said. “I don’t see
any reason why we can’t win again at
Rice.”
But Goldsmith follows a long line
of coaches who thought they could
produce a winner under such pris
tine conditions.
Rice faces big challenges on the
field and in the financial ledger for
its survival.
Rice President Dr. George Rupp
says he won’t comment on rumors of
a cutback in the school’s athletic bud
get
“We have just-appointed an ath
letic director and coach who recog
nize there are some major chal
lenges,” Rupp said.
“One is to maintain our integrity
in the athletic program and to com
pete more effectively.
Former big leaguer
recalls baseball career
SULPHUR SPRINGS (AP) —Any
way you slice it, baseball is a numbers
game.
Batters shoot for the magic .300
mark, and pitchers set their sights on
winning 20 games in a season.
Dave Philley is a perfect example
of how numbers tell the story in a
baseball player's career.
He spent 19 seasons in the big
leagues while performing for nine
teams and answering to 18 man
agers
But the product of Paris, Texas,
did one thing better than any player
who ever put a major league uni
form on. He earned a spot in the re
cord book by his prowess as a pinch
hitter.
He connected safely nine straight
times as a pinch hitter for the Phila
delphia Phillies in 1958 and 1959
and set another mark in 1961 by col
lecting 24 hits off the bench for Bal
timore.
Philley. 68, recalled his years in
the big leagues during a recent
speech before the Sulphur Springs
Rotary Club.
A switch hitter who was noted for
his all-out hustle and dedication to
the game, Philley slashed away on
such baseball topics as salary- struc
ture, the designated hitter rule and
fundamentals of the game.

"The second is to increase reve
nues and manage expenses so the
funding of athletics here is sustaina
ble in the long haul.”
Ckildsmith will be given the same
opportunity to succeed as his piede-
cessor, Rupp said.
“We certainly aren't recruiting a
new football coach and then cutting
resources out from under him,”
Rupp said. “I think the rumors are
really mistaken there.”
But if the losing continues and the
crowds continue to dwindle, how
long can the school maintain its re
solve?
“We do have an agreement that
we’ll continue to review athletics in
all dimensions just as we review all
other programs.” Rupp said. "That
will take its course."
Bobby May was promoted to ath
letic director after serving under
three athletic directors at Rice and
has worked for his alma mater since
1967.
“We do have an ongoing financial
problem and it’s a problem that we
intend to deal with,’ May said.
Rupp said completing in intercol
legiate athletics is impiortant to Rice.
“I think it’s impiortant to have
both outstanding academic pro
grams and a first rate opportunity
for athletes to compete,” Rupp said.
“I think it’s piossible to do that in a
range of forums, one of which is the
Southwest Conference.”
Goldsmith isn’t interested in the
p>ast. He expects the new age to be a
more suitable climate for schools
such as Rice.
He expects to have better success
than his predecessors and he expiecls
to Slav longer than they did.
(kildsmith replaces Jerry Berndt.
who left with two years remaining on
his contract to become coach at
Temple.
Berndt replaced Watson Brown,
who departed after two seasons to
return to his alma mater Vanderbilt.
Now Goldsmith is promising to
stay with the program.
“They're going to have to carry
me out of here dead, sick or fire
me,” Cioldsmith said. “I’m going to
be here for them (players). 1 prom
ised them I intend to remain here at
Rice University."
They’ve heard that spieech before.
“Bill Veeck's theory was, ’If you
want to keep a ballplayer happy, pay
him.’, " he said. “I also agree with
what Pete Rose said when he was
traded from Cincinnati to Philadel
phia.
“Rose made the comment that* 4 No
player who ever lived is worth a mil
lion dollars, but if the owners are
going to pay it I’m going to take it.’ ”
Philley’s top salary was $33,000 as
a member of the 1954 American
League champion Cleveland Indi
ans, who finished 68 games above
.500 that season with a record of
111-43.
Philley estimates he would be
making at least $500,000 a year and
perhaps as much as $ I million a year
oy today’s salary scales.
The pinch-hitting champ is
against the desigiyited hitter rule, al
though he feels he could have re
mained around at least three or four
more years performing in the DH
role.
“The way I see it, there are nine
guys in the field and those nine guys
should come to bat," he said. “Be
sides, it separates the managers
somewhat.
“It’s easy to manage when you
don’t have the pitcher coming to oat.
I'm certainly against the rule being
used in one league and not used in
the other league.”
