ROSEBURG OR 3-7256 Winter Term Medforivj4tribunb SIPdDIHlTS Pass Defense Heading Rice Bowl Preparations By KYLE THOMPSON Houston, Tex.-(UP1)-The talk these days among the Sugar Bowl-bound Rice University Owls is how to stop the siz zling pass attack of All-America quarterback Jake Gibbs of the University of Missis sippi. Head Coach Jess Neely has devoted much time during his prc-bowl workout sessions to pass defense, and this is the weapon he hopes to toss in the path of the Rebels when they clash in the New Orleans classic on Jan. 2. Rice enjoyed one of its most successful seasons in pass defense this year through nine games until they were upended, 12-7, by Baylor in the season finale at Waco, Tex. In that game, the Bears hit 12 out of 16 tosses, in cluding a winning touchdown pass in the final minutes. Intercept 17 Passes But prior to that meeting, the Rice defense had grabbed 17 interceptions and had held its rivals to a fairly poor 44 per cent in pass completions. The Owls, themselves, have anything but a sloppy pass attack in the form of sopho more quarterback Billy Cox. And they have been somewhat better than average in their ground game with such stal-1 wart backs as Bob Wayt, Max Webb, Roland Jackson and Mike Bowen. Cox, perhaps more than any other player, provided the spark at the beginning of the season.which pulled the Owls into a' successful 7-3 record this year after a poor 1959 season when they won only a single game. Cox has completed 45 of 80 passes for a .563 comple tion average and a total of 510 yards. He tossed three touchdown passes and allow ed opponents only seven in terceptions. He also was Rice s top scor er of the year with six touch downs. In addition, Cox was Huskies Have Good Workout Long Beach, Calif. (UPD- University of . Washington Coach Jim Owens is not going to take any chances of his Huskies being out of shape for their Rose Bowl battle with powerful Minnesota. The Huskies Monday were supposed to take it easy, run ning through a brief morning workout and then spending the afternoon relaxing and having fun at Disneyland. They had the afternoon at Disneyland, but not before Owens put the Big Five cham pions through a rugged 45 minute practice session in 80 degree weather. The Husky coach said he was nappy apout me nor. weather. He said he figured the team was behind last year's Rose . Bowl champions in conditioning, adding, "We need all the good weather we can get." The drill was devoted largely to calisthenics with about 20 minutes of work on the passing game both of fensively and defensively. Today Washington begins two-a-day workouts, and Owens said the Huskies will have a scrimmage in "the next couple of days."

End Johnny Burrell finish ed up as the Owls' top pass receiver, nabbing 20 aerials for a total of 266 yards and three touchdowns. The defense - minded Rice crew netted 129 first downs while giving up only 68 to its 10 opponents. The owls also racked up a total of 168 points while holding their opponents to 58. They shut Florida, Southern Methodist, Texas and Texas Christian. Their three losses were by a margin of only 11 points. KC Owner Promises New Policy . Chicago - OJPD - Multi-mil lionaire ball club owner Charles Finley promised today that the Kansas City Athletics will stay put and will no long er serve as a farm team for the New York Yankees. Finley, a wealthy insurance broker who was shut out in recent attempts to land the new American league fran chise in Lbs Angeles, Monday purchased majority control of the Athletics for $1,975,000. "I have no intention of moving the club out of Kansas City, and I'm going to try to get the baseball brains pos sible to run the club," Finley said. "It will no longer be a Yan kee farm club," Finley added. We'll trade with any team in the league." Finley's high bid for the 52 per cent was owned by the late Arnold Johnson was ap proved by Probate Judge Rob ert Jerome Dunne. It requires approval by American league owners, but Finley regarded this as routine. He said he will seek to buy the remaining 48 per cent of the Athletics' stock, now con trolled by a Kansas City group headed by Byron Spen cer. Schloredt Suits Up for Drill Long Beach, Calif. - (UPD Washington's Huskies, cheer ed by the return of triple threat quar terback Bob Schloredt, took the afternoon off today before settling down to twice daily drills for their Rose Bowl game with Minne sota. The Huskies traveled to nearby Disneyland where the Big Five champions also got a first hand look at their Jan. 2 opponents. Both teams spent the afternoon at the Anaheim amusement park after a morn ing workout. Schloredt suited up Sunday for the first time since Oct. 15 when the Huskies staked a surprise 1 hour practice session.- The one-eyed quarter back, out with a fractured collarbone suffered ' against UCLA, directed Washington to its one-side victory over Wisconsin in last year's Rose Bowl.
