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

Coach Jim Owens is not going

Huskies being out of shape

the team was behind last

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

Owens said the Huskies will

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.
