ILFREY IS MANAGE*
OF JUNIOR PROM
A Dance is Al*o Planned for immediate-
ly After Christmas..
Lawrence Iifrey was chosen by the
Junior class as manager for the 1918
Junior Prom, when the class met in a
brief business session Thursday, No-
vember 23.
Mr. Iifrey was commissioned to make
this year's prom rank with that of last
year, which was almost the principal
social event.
The Juniors also decided to have an
informal dance in the Residential Com-
mons some time shortly after Christmas.
Plans for both events are yet to be
worked out.
C. Cabantss and Lloyd White were
elected business representatives on the
Campanile.
The class meeting was splendidly at-
tended and manifested the sense of im-
portance which this year's Juniors have
for the class activities.
Kenneth Cunningham, president of
the class, occupied the chair.

ATHLETIC NOTE*
Just before the Owls want upon the
Held Turkey day to trounce the Arizona
eieven, Mick Brown, the captain of the
Rice squad, and one of the beat half-
backs in the Southwest, was presented
with a silver loving cup by his fellow
teammates as a reward for his service-
able work in piloting this year's foot-
ball team through a successful season.
The cup is a beautiful thing and bears
in inscription the names of ^ach of the
men on the regular club. It was given
as a token of appreciation for Brown's
efforts and an expression of the deep
friendship that exists between Brown
and his fellow team mates.
Vance was the lucky fellow. The
Brst touchdown of the game was made
by him and consequently he's the claim-
ant to the best hat Shotwell, Inc., has.
Here's hoping that he gets a good one,
for his 99 points for the season justify
it.
What is Texas going to say about the
record scoring pace set by Rice this
year? Hard luck, boys, but we couldn't
help it.
Four thousand people saw the Rice-
Arizona game, and it was the ihost
democratic gathering -ever seen on the
Rice ileld. People from all stratas of
social life came to view the game from
the same stand. Social lions, debutan-
tes, ordinary men and women brushed
sleeves, and even some went so far as to
sit next to each other. The most promi-
nent social factor seen in the stands
was the indespensible corp of striped
headed (unknown quantity) Freshmen.
They as usual did their social feats and
duties. The social stunts account for
the truancy of some of their number
from the rooting seetion.
In a recent number Gripon was ac-
cused of making a costly fumble near
the goal in the Rice-A. & M. game. This
statement was erroneous and we wish to
correct it.
Mr. Brockman appeared on the ath-
tetic held iast Monday dressed in a pair
of new white trousers. In the course
of discharging his duties as umpire of
the bitter Fresh-Junior game he man-
aged to get them dirty. We can't see
why Brockman doesn't get some one to
wash his old trousers, and this would
keep him from having to buy a new
pair every time. Maybe someone wouid
finally learn to love a fat man.
The Freshmen got wet the other day,
but they must certainly be given credit
for having the pep. They pulled off
their snake dance all right, and we bet
that they do it again next Saturday.
Let everybody come out to see the
Freshman-Soph game Saturday, as in-
dications are that it will be one of the
bloodiest of the season. By premonition
we know that tragedy awaits some one.
There's a tennis tournament being
ptayed, but we can't find anyone who
knows anything about it.
HAVE YOU GOT YOURS?
