Golf sends five to Yale Invitational
by Erica Levine
A rejuvenated Rice golf squad
hopes to tone their skills and test their
competition this weekend at the Yale
University Invitational.
"Our team has a high outlook both
for Yale and for the whole season,"
said team captain Matt Williamson.
"We're definitely one of the favored
teams. Everyone had a pretty good
summer, so we should be ready to
play."
Summer successes included
sophomore David Lawrence's qualifi-
cation for the U.S. Amateur Tourna-
ment and freshman Drew Scott's first
place finish at the North Carolina State
High School Championships.
The Owls hope this added experi-
ence can help them improve on last
season's performance when, for the
first time in four years, Rice did not
quality for the national championship.
"We got off to a bad start last sea-
son , and that sort of set the tone for the
whole year," said junior Trevor
Randolph. "We're really looking to
Yale to help us get going on a better
note this year."
Rice is sending five players to this
weekend's tournament in New Ha-
ven. Transfer Dan Anderson and fresh-
men Scott Lawrence and John
I^wrence will be making their Rice
debut Randolph and Dave Lawrence
will also be competing.
These guys should be good rep-
resentatives for our whole team," said
senior Travis Han cuff. "This year's
team has a lot of depth, and there's a
lot of talent that seems to have devel-
oped over the summer."
The team graduated four of its top
six golfers last year. Randolph and
Dave Lawrence are theonly returning
players.
"Well have to work hard to fill the
gap left by last year's seniors but this
year's team gets along great," said
Hancuff. "We're like a family, much
closer than weVe been in the past
That's very important to our success."
The unique layout of the Owls'
season schedule is instrumental to
their success. After playing at Yale,
Rice will not compete again for a
month.
"That stretch between tourna-
ments should be pretty helpful,"
Randolphsakl. "Itwillgiveusachance
to figure out what we need to work on
and put in some time on those areas."
After their hiatus, the Owls will
play four tournaments in three weeks.
They begin at Northwestern Uni-
versity, travel to Stanford University
and finish the run at the Harvey Penick
Invitational.
Three weeks later, the Owls host
their fall season finale, the Rice Invita-
tional.
"Yale should serve as agood warm-
up tourney for us," Randolph said.
"Our goal is to reach nationals, and
this tournament should get us off to a
good start"
Football

is riding high after their victory last
week. On the ground, the yardage has
been plentiful for Itice.
Running back Yoncy Edmonds had
his best game ever, as an Owl, against
Tulane, rushing for 92 yards and scor-
ing three touchdowns.
Running back Byron Coston and
quarterback Bert Emanuel added to
the rushing assault Coston accou nted
for 50 yards on seven carries while
Emanuel had 73 yards of his own.
Though the running game has
been rather productive, the passing
game still ranks in the cellar of the
conference. The Owls are only gain-
ing 138.5 yards per game in the air.
The Bearkat team that Rice will
play Saturday will be a far cry from the
large and talented Buckeye team they
saw on opening day and the Tulane
team they so easily handled last week.
Sam Houston State is less experi-
enced, smaller and not a Division I-A
football team; but that does not mean
that the Owls are looking past their
opponent
The team realizes that the Bearkats
would love to steal a victory from a
complacent Owl squad.
"I intend for us to be fired-up for
Sam Houston State," sad Rice Head
Coach Fred Goldsmith. "Our team
knows the kind of physical intensity it
takes to play the game. We can only be
good with that kind of intensity."

Sam Houston State at Rice
After die Tulane scare, this
is actually going to be a big
game for Rice thus week (who
cares?) Though Sam Hous-
ton will prove tough compe-
tition (tney suck), I believe
the Owls will barely pull this
one out (77-0).
I know we'll win; no explana-
tion needed. I just want to see
the following people score: Jim
Lee (my Mom's favorite
player), Jason Winship, Kurt
Roper (my freshman) and
Lawrence Fortune (past room-
mate). Rice 45, SHSU 3
Syracuse at Texas
The Longhorns have im-
proved (they still suck), but
something tells me .the
Orangemen will somehow
win (by three touchdowns).
Tuck Fexas (Fuck Texas).
Texas has the weapons to do
it, and they are at home. My
Mom likes Texas, but she re-
ally likes Syracuse's QB Marvin
Graves. I'll pick Orangemen
35, Longhorns 34
Tennessee at Florida
One of these teams could
wind up as national champs
(no way). Florida does not
lose at home and they have
super fan Tom Harris root-
ing for them (fair-weather
fan).Tennessee (inbreeding)
will lose by three.
This is a great match-up even
though Mom hates
Tennessee's colors. The
Gators haven't lost at Florida
Field since Bush was popular.
The Vols are on a roll and are
talented. Sorry Crystal, but I
still say Gators 19, Vols 17.
Colorado at Stanford
This is my Block Lock™ of
the week (I have no idea who
is going to win). Colorado
played its first two games
againstTexas and Baylor, so
they should be ready for
Stanford. Ill take the Buffs
by seven (bet against me).
Stanford is expected to do
well this year; but they won't.
According to the transitive
property of football, we would
beat Stanford. Plus Mom likes
Colorado's coach because he
is a Bom Again Christian. Buf-
faloes 42-20.
Florida State at North Carolina
This may be my Upset Spe-
cial (dream on). Florida State
will prevail and go for die
championship (choke in the
big game). Aren't you glad
we pick only tough games?
(padding our records).
Mom has been an FSU fan
since I can remember. She
remembers when Jessie
Hester was on the team. The
only real reason we're picking
this game is because Mom
told us to. FSU 49, UNC 7.
