First. I might point out that El
Campo ha*-more than sent her share
of students to Rice, and among them
several athletes of no sin oil ability.
Now to get down to the main point
of this letter.
In recent years, sports writers
have been thinking of Rice as the
, principal food of China, rather than
a college in Houston, Texas,’ which
has a foot1' all team.
This year the undefeated OwIs
burst on them so suddenly they have
passed up one of the greatest teams
the Southwest has ever developed.
This passing up is due, perhans, to
the fact that Rice has no publicity
expert to extoll the virtues of our
gridders.
At this writing Rice appears head-
ed for the Southwest conference
flag without a blemish, except for a
9 to 9 tie with L. S. E. marring its
record. Such teams as Purdue, Tex-
as U, conquerors of Notre Dame.
S. M. U., and Arkansas, list year's
champs, all have tlieir scalps arrang-
ed in a neat row on the Rice Stadium
Purdue was taken for a ride. 14 to
n, and apparently will go on to earn
a tie with the great Minnesota for
the Big Ten Championship. - WHO
WOULDN’T BLOW ABOUT A TEAM
LIKE RICE?
Next year Rice will probably play ,
two or three outstanding intersect- ,
ional games. This year’s record
makes them deserve such recognition
and even Rice’s worst enemy will ad-
mit that the freshmen crop this year
equals any the school has ever had.
What do you say to a six foot. one
Inch freshman end, who can catch ,
passes with the best of them, and a ,
200 pound half back that can kick i
consistently 55 and 60 yards, and ।
place the ball just where he wants
to. Then again Rice only loses but ‘
two linemen this year: don’t you ,
off-tackle play; Clark made 8 yards
then a two way pass from Miller to
Slovacek to Clark made about 15
yards; two incomplete passes, then
Miller kicked over the entire Tizer
eleven; Buckler tackled Bryan of
Richmond behind the line of scrim-
mage for a yard loss; a few in-
complete passes and the ball went
over to the Ricebirds, who when
failing to make a first down, kicked,
and the half ended.
Third Quarter—The third quarter
was fought hard by both teams, and
when both teams seemed unable to
make any gains, they turned to pass-

it from the previous statement that
the Ricebirds had a tough time hold-
ing the Tiger to six touchdowns.
The best player on the team was
Bryan.’ cf the Tigers, closely follow-
ed by Clark of the Ricebirds.
The best pssing of the game was
by Bryan of the Tiger-, the best
kicking. no doubt, -was by Miller of
the Ricebirds, who kicked over the

The following Ip a quarter by

we saw it: .
First Quarter—The game started
with the Ricebirds kicking, receiv-
ed by Bryan of Richmond, who re-
turned the all 72 yard-: first down
a line plunge resulted in 4 yds, and
on another pass for a touchdown. Ex-
tra point failed: Ricebirds receted
fhe ball: Miller carried 15 yds.. Clrk
made four yards on a line plunge;
Miller kieked a long and beautiful
kick. Richmond worked down the
field for another touchdown: a pass
for extra point failed. After play-
ing up and down tHe field for some
time, Richmond completed a 3.5 yd

probably could learn to do that. If
these two were playing on an Eastern
team, such as Harvard or Anny, they
would be all American cinches. Even
as it Is, Bill has been getting some
notice.
As I started to say, Rice should
play at least two big intersectional
games next year, but are going to
have a hard time getting them.
Won't you please help us convince
the so-called big teams that they
should play us. You can, by giving
us the publicly we deserve.
