Stars. *
On Friday evening, November 10, Mr.
George Finlay Simmons entertained
several of his friends with a delicious
seven-course dinner. Those present
were Messrs. H. N. Roe, M. M. Kirk-
sey, L. M. Lamar, Jr., F. R. Carroll, T.
H. Jackson, A. L. Carr, T. M. Colston,
Jr., C. L. Stevens and C. M. Rudd.
Bottled In Bond.
Fish (seeing Soph wind his watch):
"Please, sir, and how long will your
watch run without winding?"
Soph (very proud of said time-piece):
"Why, my little man, it will run as
much as 48 hours sometimes."
Fish: "Yessir; and how long wilt it
run if you wind it?"
STUDENTS
Patronize the business houses who
by their support make possible the
success oi The Thresher.
The scrubs ended their 1916 season
by defeating the Huntsville Normal
eleven Monday in a hotly contested
game which wan won by the small mar-
gin of 6-0.
The Owlets outplayed the teachers in
nearly every stage of the game. During
the entire time of piay the ball was only
once brought into the Rice zone, this
time to be immediately returned to the
other end of the field by a series of long
end runs and line plunges. Considering
all in all the Rice second team should
have piled up a heavier score, as their
playing was far superior to that of the
Huntsville youths.
Drummond for Rice did the most ef-
fective work. Many times his runs
aroutid end brought good gains to his
team, and it seemed for awhile as
though he were the entire ground-gain-
ing machine for the scrubs. Haltom
was also a good gainer and did much
strong defensive work.
The scrubs returned to Houston Tues-
day afternoon.
ENTERTAINMENT GIVEN
FOR THE STUDENT BODY
AMERICAN SCHOOLS AID
IN EUROPEAN RELIEF
Weslcyan University Has Donated Large
Sum to Aid Students in Wat Prisons.
Second Presbyterian Church Arranges
Splendid Reception and Recital.
The members of the Second Presby-
terian church delightfully entertained
the faculty and students of Rice Insti-
tute Saturday night with an Informal
reception.
The church was artistically decorated
with the blue and grey of Rice. After
the program rendered by Misses Bank-
head, Rowe, Secor, Hall and Mr. Brog-
niez, delicious refreshments consisting
of hot chocolate, cake and sandwiches
were served.
There are at the present time some-
thing over five million seven hundred
thousand men and boys in the prison
camps of Europe. Probably it has never
occurred to the American students that
literaily tens of thousands of these men
and boys are students from the various
schools and colleges of England, Ger-
many, France, Russia, Canada, and in
some cases even from some of the East-
ern universities of America. They live
under the most unfavorable circum-
stances. The various nations at war
had not anticipated taking anything
like such a vast number of prisoners,
and consequently are not prepared to
take care of them. Large shed-like huts,
or barracks have been erected hastily
and enclosed with barbed wire fences.
These huts have been crammed to their
utmost capacity, with tiered rows of nar-
row bunks, on which they sleep. When
captured many of these men did not
have overcoats or any kind of suitable
clothing for cold weather; last winter
several thousand lives were saved by
sending aid from America.
In some of the colleges of America a
war fund has been started by the faculty
and students to render assistance in
saving the lives of the students confined
in these camps as the cold weather
comes on. The faculty and students of
Wesleyan University started a fund
which has already reached the. sum of
Ave thousand dollars. The University
of Maine already has a fund of one
thousand dollars in hand for this wor-
thy cause. At the University of Min-
nesota twenty students came together to
discuss this matter and subscribed four
hundred and sixty dollars, On hearing
this the faculty and students of the uni-
versity decided to make it a university
affair, and it is expected that a large
sum will be realized.
