Statistics Fail To Lie
About Rice Quintet
With the Southwest Conference
cage schedule over half finished,
Rice is still firmly entrenched in
a tie for last place with TCU.
Most outstanding of these from
the Owl point of view is Rice's
anemic field goal shooting per-
centage of .352, lowest in the con-
ference. Not much better is the
Owls' free throw percentage of
.617, second from the bottom. Al-
so, through the Owls' first eight
conference games, they averaged
only 55 points per game, 10.8
points lower than the next high-
est team, which surprisingly
enough is defense-minded SMU.
Now compare these figures for
Rice with some of the percent-
ages belonging to the leading
teams. Texas, the most accurate
shooting team, owns a .483 per-
centage followed by Baylor's
.450, Texas Tech's .435, and A
and M's .429. First-running A&M
owns a 73.8 points per game
scoring average, followed by Ar-
kansas' 73.3 and Baylor's 69.6.
Rice does have a few bright
spots in tthe individual depart-
ments, however. David "Butch"
Craig still holds the third place
in scoring, with a 17.9 average
for the complete season. Sopho-

The Soppy Sophs, led by Linda
Ulbrich, easily triumphed over
the Miss Fits to win the Women's
Basketball title. The Soph of-
fense couldn't be stopped,
especially since the Miss Fits'
star aggressive guard — Lorita
Hoist—was out with the flu.
The Sophs rolled up 23 while
the Miss Fits were held to 14 by
the outstanding defensive play of
Sue and Dianne Wooten and Judy
Norris. Linda Ulbrich led all

Movers Move Wee Winos
Last week the Men's Basketball
playoffs began. In the Game of
the Week, the Movers defeated
the Wee Winos 41-30. In the
first quarter, the Winos drew
first blood as Tom Broad con-
nected on a 3 point play. But the
sharpshooting Movers soon gain-
ed the lead and never lost it as
Walter Moore and Johnny Bourg
continually found the range with
long shots. The first quarter end-
ed with the Movers holding a one
point advantage over the Winos.
Led by Bourg and his deadly
jump shot and Moore's ball-hawk*
ing, the Movers easily gained a
10 point lead over the Winos in
the second quarter. The Winos
were cold and the Movers took
advantage of the lag in scoring.
Still Ahead
In the third quarter, the Winos
again found the range as Broad
and Neal Marcus continually hit
from all corners of the court.
