Rice to play SWT
SAN MARCOS (AP) — South-
west Texas State University has
announced the signing of a two-
year contract to play Rice in foot
ball, with games at Rice Stadium
in Houston on Sept. 27, 1986, and
Sept. 26, 1987.
. The games will be Southwest
Texas’ first against a Southwest
Conference school since 1923 when
|lthe Bobcats defeated Rice 19,6
The two teams also played in
with Rice winning 48-0.
Southwest Texas, a member of
the Gulf Coast Conference, had an
enrollment of more than 19,000 last
year. Post 8/0/89
The nine coaches were asked to
rate the top five teams in the SWC,
with the first-place team receiving
five points, the second receiving four
and so on. SMU, which returns 17
starters off a team that shared the
SWC title with the University of
Houston last year, was a runaway
choice with 41 points.

Like two other big-name players
in this game, Gilchrist spent his
summer banging bodies with pro
and college players.
Gilchrist plays for Tarpey and
Co. in the NCAA-approved Coors
Pro-Am summer league. South
teammate Keith Hill, a Michigan
State signee, also plays in the
North guard Lance Blanks

“Playing against pros helps a
lot,” said Gilchrist, 6-foot-7 post
Plahrist said he is learning to
handle the ball, something he
didn’t get to do under Memorial
Coach Don Coleman.
“That’s something I get to do in
the league, come out and spin and
work on moves, he said. I get to
try new stuff.” “I’ve gained
strength over the summer and
playing against (bigger players)
I’ve learned to use my body and
position myself. When you re

much. I think the league is a real

“When I first came out, Robert
Reid was on my team and we were
playing Michael Young’s team. I
thought, ‘Jeez, those guys are
playing for money and Im httk
me.’ ”
Now that he’s had the summer
to let it sink in - playoffs follow
league play in another week —
Gilchrist has other thoughts about
the league that allows pros to hop
to any team to get playing time.
“The only thing I don t likeis
they all come to my team and 1
don’t get to play.”
All the competition, including
that expected tonight from 61

perienced big men at Rice.

other pro-am summer leaguer is

remaining.
“I’m going to try to take it day-
to-day," Gilchrist said. “I.knewII
can’t play face-up against 7-foot-
ers but the league has made me ,
accustomed to playing bigger peo-
ple. I’m taking baskets stronger
than I did.”
Gilchrist likes his South
team’s chances.

ing the championship to Bryan.
Much of the trip was made this
the prime chasers by thekcoches, as
the Cougars and Razorbacks fin-
ished in a tie fori second with 27 •
points each. Texas A&M was third
with 19 points, and the drop-off was
considerable after that. 1
Texas was fifth with 5% points,
Baylor was sixth with 31, and Texas
Christian was seventh with 1. Nei-
ther Texas Tech nor Rice,"received a
vote to finish in the top five.
The coaches’ selections were simi-
I lar to the SWC writers’ picks in Tex-
as Football Magazine, although the
Cougars were picked fodrth in that
poll. Baylor and TCU switched posi-
tions from the writers’ pof.
Texas draws praise, too
Most of the coaches nae a point
of talking up Texas, which was fifth
in both polls. Fred Akers, the Texas
coach, would not include his team in
the top five because of too many un-
knowns.
“But we’ve got talent, too,” Akers
said. “We just haven’t proved it.
They (SMU, UH, Arkansas and
A&M) don’t have as many ‛ifs‛ as we
do. As soon, as we change ‘ifs’ to
‘givens’ we won’t run from anyone.”
Collins picked UH first, but the
strongest recommendation for any-
one other than SME ame from Bay-
lor Coach Grant Teaff, who picked
A&M second. Teaff cited the Aggies
for a strong finish last year with vic-
tories over TCU (35-21) and Texas
(37-12). 3
“That didn't surprise me so much
when they beat Texas, because we
did,” Teaff said. “But that was
something beating, TCU like that.
And A&M has a backlog of talent.”
A&M Coach Jackie Sherrill said
the Aggies have more depth than at
any time in his previous three years
at A&M. But he wouldn’t pick his
team in the top five and said he nev-
er would.
“Next year,” Sherrill said, smil-
ing, “you guys will say I’m a helluva
coach.”
