Lose to Baylor
On Hardwoods
Coach "Pug" Daugherity's Rice
Owls broke even in this week's bas-
ketball games, pulling out a sensational
23-22 win over the Texas Longhorns
Saturday night and {ailing before the
championship bound Baylor Bears
Monday by a 41-21 count.
Saturday night's game started off
like a runaway with the Birds leading
18-8 at the rest period. The Long-
horns found themselves in the second
canto and pushed the Owls all the
way, twice knotting the score at 16-all
and 19-all. At this juncture Captain
Jake Hess and Virgil Dixon came to
the rescue and cinched the game with
beautiful shots.
Howard Thompson did a great
night's work, limiting the high-scoring
Bill Kubricht, Steer center, to 5
points. Hess took scoring honors with
12 points while Dixon rang up 8.
"Bubba" Koch and Howard Reynolds
stopped Elkins and Tullis cold.
Captain Raymond Strickland put on
the best one-man show ever seen on
a Rice court Monday night by scoring
20 points and leading the Baylor Bears
to their third successive win, 41-21.
His score warf the exact difference be-
tween the Owls and the Bears, and
but for this rangy one the Owls might
be sitting on top the conference.
The Owls played great ball in the
First half, holding the Waco five to a
15-11 score. But the height advan-
tage began to tell in the last half and
Strickland and Barnett put the game
on ice.
"Bubba" Koch and Howard Reynolds
were the outstanding men for Rice 1
"Double Ug" Koch took complete con-
trol of any offensive inclinations Ray-
mond "The Mighty" Alford had and
held him to six points. Reynolds did
noble backboard work and limited
James to five points.
Hess and Dixon experienced off-
nights and each tallied only seven
points against the taller foes. Howard
Thompson fought gamely but finally
wilted under the strain of staying with
Strickland.
The game completed the Owls'
schedule up till the middle of Feb-
ruary.
SLIMES TAKE TWO
Winning two games in last minute
rallies, the Rice slimes won their way
into the hearts of fans by defeating the
Houston Sporting Goods team 23-24,
and the Humble Refining quintet 23-21
as preliminary frays to the varsity con-
ference games.
Saturday night "Doc" Metzler took
a pass from Charlie Bowden and tal-
lied the all-important goal to whip the
Sports. Hokie Snider, Harry Journeay,
and Turner Pope turned in gilt-edged
games for the Green Owls.
Bill Sadler took the hero role Mon-
day night when the same Bowden
passed to him for the winning two-
