Owlook
Snaps Baker's string
By BILL KENNEDY
Thresher Basketball Analyst
If basketball were as statistic-ridden as major
league baseball, this year's Owls would already
be in the record book under a heading like
"Earliest Matching of Previous Season's Victory
Total."
Despite all statements to the contrary, the
Trinity game was neither a fluke nor a meaning-
less victory over a creampuff. Trinity has a
fairly strong team that had a definite advantage
over the Owls. The Owls won simply because
they consistently outplayed and outhustled a
good team. (I know this sounds pretty basic,
but Rice cage fans have had so few victories
of late that some explanation of the term is
necessary.)
As we said last week, this is an aggressive,
fighting team that will beat some superior teams
on hustle alone. They almost beat Florida State
that way Monday night.
Hustle, unfortunately, can't cover all sins. The
Owls have given up the ball through poor basket-

ball too many times to be a winning team. Still,
they are young and will undoubtedly gain poise
as the season continues.
Soph Greg Williams has already established
him'self as the finest Rice playmaker in years.
The value of the diminutive guard was shown
in the Georgia Tech game. The Owls and Yellow-
jackets were tied in the first half when Williams
accidentally banged his head against the floor
and had to leav$ the game.
Rice eventually lost 87-61. If nothing else,
this proves that hustle can't replace a guard
who can break the full court press and get the
ball to the big scorers under the basket.
The biggest of the big scorers thus far has
been Bill Doty. This is no surprise, of course.
The big change in Doty has been in his fanatical
defense and rebounding.
Although there is still room for much im-
provement, defense has been the key to the
Owls' improved play this year. As the young
team learns Coach Knodel's system, the mis-
takes which led to the Georgia Tech and Florida
State losses should decrease.

Groups may send
crown
By T. O'Bo
Will Rice ended Baker's mo-
nopoly of the college touch
football championship last Fri-
day with a clear-cut 21-13 vic-
tory. Baker was out for their
third consecutive crown. Wiess
defeated Hanszen 6-0 for third
place.
The game was essentially a
battle between two excellent
offenses, each of which was able
to move the ball virtually at
will. Baker scored on both of
her first half possessions to
take a 13-7 lead at intermis-
sion.
Baker's scoring came on pas-
ses from Andy Rooker to Ray
Young and Ricky Blume, the
latter having moved up from
inter-collegiate status to take
part in this more significant
clash.
Crucial Moment
The trust-busters came back
on their first possession of the
second half to take a scant 14-
13 lead. Baker then drove 54
yards to WRC's 6-yard line, set-
ting up the turning point of
the game.
Much to their rooters' dis-
may, Baker was unable to score
with third down and 6 to go for
a TD, as both of Rooker's pas-
ses slipped through the hands
of receivers in the end zone.
Will Rice, taking advantage
of Baker's morale let-down,
marched all the way for the
touchdown and extra point that
put the game out of reach.
Offenses
Will Rice's excellent offense
was highlighted by touchdown
passes from quarterback Steve
Wood to John Pickens and Jim
Woodruff. Pickens, with two
TD's, led all scorers.
Asked to comment on Rook-
er's field leadership, Baker's
number two quarterback (who
prefers to remain nameless)
said, "Andy did all right, but
things sure would have been
different if I'd been in there."
Most observers also felt that
the presence of the injured Bill
Palmer might have made a
difference as well.
