sprinted beautifully on the laat lap
and oame in victorious in the time of
11 min. as ?-5 seconds. Hargis of Rice
also made a magnificent sprtnt, but
hia Mrat one-miie raoe had tired Mm
ao that he could not bridge the gap
between Keifer and himaeif. Behind
him came Nye of Rice, who although
calied on to run without having been
in hard training for a week and al-
though third place did not count, fin-
ished manfully and in good form.
Rice literally ran away with the re-
lay. Gosa gave Coleman the aecond
runner, a large lead and he, Harlan
and Dowell increased this lead with-
out exerting themselves at all. The
time was 3 minutes. 39 2-5 seconds.
The final score waB Rice 77, Baylor

There was quite a large and en-
thusiastic crowd present. In addition
to the track meet they enjoyed the
aerial which was In progress over Cox
field nearby. A dog and rabbit race
among the far stands furnished amuse-
ment for the audience to balance the
thrills of daredevil stunts, changes
from plane to plane, and the excite-
i ment of the dashes.
Rothgib, A. and M. coach, was of-

EXTENSION LECTURE
ONFALSIAFFREAD
BY PROF. MAXWELL
Series of Addresses on Char-
acters From
speare Begun.
A iecture on "Fallstaff Reconsider-
ed" was read Monday afternoon at the
University Club by Baldwin Maxwell,
instructor in English at Rice insti-
tute. This lecture was the first of a
series of three Monday afternoon lec- i
tures on characters from Shakespeare, j
Mr. Maxweli contrasted the differ-
ent views concerning Falstaff, the
coward, and Fallstaff. the philosopher, i
Fallstaff the philosopher, he said, one
could discover only by reading the dra- !
ma and allowing the Imagination to i
ptay; the Fallstaff of the text or of j
the acted play was a cowardly brag- j
gart, a parasite, a lecher, a liar and a
thief.
The character of Falstaff, he stat- ]
ed. was based upon two traditional fig- j
ures of Elizabethan drama, the cow-
ardly braggart captain and the ale-
house jester, a mlsleader of youth,
whose humor consisted chiefly of ab-
surd comparisons. He pointed out
several parallels in Elizabethan drama
to Fatstaff's catechism or his mock-
ing at honor.
To understand the characters as
Shakespeare himself intended them,
one must, he said, read the plays in
the tight furnished by the dramatists
contemporary with Shakespeare.
Though douBttess to the modem read-
er Falstaff, the philosopher, is much
more comic, Fatstaff is essentialiy a
picaresque figure. Morals and senti-
ments. alike, in the iapse of time ob-
literate humor, he stated.

BASEBALL SQUAD
!S IN GOOD FORM
Team of New Men Is Fighting
ior Unexpected
Victories.
The somewhat murky out!ook for
hasebal! has brightened considerably
in the !ast week and the results of the
A. and M. trip have shown that the
team has great possibilities. Although
the most optimistic ones can hardly
hope for a championship with a team
composed almost entirely of new ma-
terial, we should easily better last
year's record and put out a team that
is more nearly representative of our
school. The work of the squad has
been improving by leaps and bounds
since practice was resumed fo!!owing
examination week and while the sea-
son was opened in nearly the hardest
possible manner, a two game series
with the Aggies at College Station, i
the Owls managed to split even by
capturing the second game in nice
styte after having lost the first under
very trying weather conditions. The
Ow!s not onty out-hit the Farmers in
the second game but the pitching of
Captain Eddie was the subject of com-
ments of approva! by a big-teague
scout, who was present. There are
stili some wrinktes in the smoothness
of operation of the team but Coach
Cawthon is fast ironing them out. One
of the maxims Is that a team that is
constantly fighting is hard to beat.
This proved true tast Thursday when
Rice putled ahead and won the game
in the fina! inning.
Bay!or is here for two games next
Thursday and Friday. She has a
strong team and will be anxious for
revenge for the defeat handed her in
track Saturday. So far this year she
has an even record, having played
four games with S. M. U. and each
team winning twice. The Rice Inter-
schotastic meet will be o^y at the
same time and it is imperative that
we make the best possibie showing.
The question has frequently been
asked. "Why has Rice never done ex-
ceptional^ well in basebaH?" It may
be wel) answered by another question,
"Why has Rice never supported her
baseball team as she should?" Texas
students turn out 2500 strong and
every A. and M. student is present
when the Aggies play at home. We
have a good team on the fieid, now
let's turn out and show our visitors—
the very cream of the South's high
school athletes—some reai coiiege
spirit and how Rice supports her
teams.

HELD SECRETARY
TALKSTOY.M.C.A.
J. R. Wilson Explains Mis-
sionary Work.
Mr. J. R. Wilson, field secretary of
the Student Volunteer movement, gave
an interesting and instructive address
in the faculty chamber at four o'clock,
March 31. His subject was the grow-
ing recognition of the enlargement of
the world's missionary needs. He
brought out the fact that none but
college trained men and women were
being sent out as missionaries; when
the small per cent of college men is
considered, and also that a large part
of the college men were not fitted or
not available for missionary duty, it
is very important that everyone should
seriously consider the missionary call.
However, he did not lose sight of the
fact that there are pressing needs in
other fields of Christian endeavor,
consequently he did not try to have
every one of his audience become
missionaries.
One- of the most interesting facts
that Mr. Wilson disclosed was that
more college men volunteered for mis-
sionary activity from the United
States during the past year than ever
before.
Mr. Wilson is a native of Texas.
At present he is a student in the Yale
College of Divinity and he intends to
go to Japan as a missionary this sum-
mer.
