Spring football training began Tues-
day afternoon with quite a number of
iast year's squad out on the fieid,
aiong with new Freshman materia!,
which wiii materiaiiy strengthen the
footbaii squad for next season. By the
first of next week training is ex-
pected to be in progress with nottce-
abie success. Under the ab!e direc-
tion of Coach Hi!ty, the line wil! train
with hard work, including pushing the
giant s!ed about the field. This sled
has been specialty made and wii! ne-
cessitate the strength of about seven
strong linemen to push it about. The
back field will also be given work of
a simiiar nature.
Owing to the fact that many of the
football men are at work on track
and diamond, the training wi!i not be
as complete as fail training, but those
who are not on the track or basebai!
team wiii be ab!e to keep in training
in this way. During the few days of
training which have passed Coach
Hilty has made himself popular with
footbaii men, and with his attractive
personaiity, his thorough knowledge
of the game and his new tactics, foot-
baii for next year has bright pros-
pects.

GREEN MASK PLAY'RS
MAKE ANOTHER HTT
To the Editor of The Thresher:
In the iate Freshman isshe of The
Thresher the articie on the Freshman
footbaii season omitted several names
of men who were consistent in their at
tendance and faithfui in their efforts
to help the team. The editor wishes
to take this opportunity to give these
men pubiic credit for their work. Ben
Duggan, Lonnie Thomas and John
Tiemey are worthy of notice for their
work with the squad. Tiemey worked
out at center, Duggan and Thomas at
guard and tackle. These names should
have been included in the regular
issue under the proper heading, but
since they were omitted this coiumn
is the next beat means to accomplish
he purpose of the article.
EDWIN WELDON,
Editor Freshman Thresher.
Per Ben MitcheH, News Editor.
Prof—(rapping on deeh)—"Order."
Wiiiie Fitsgeraid—(WMting up)—
"Hot dog and a cup of eoffee."
You Cant flaurs it Up.

ear of com, but you new can count

FRESHMEN GET COCKY
AT UMV. OF SO. CAL.
University of Southern Caiifomia,
Los Angeies, Cal.—Claiming that the
Freshman class has become "aitogeth-
er too cocky" and that "traditions are
no more," the Sophomore class has
presented the student council a peti-
tion caHing for the return of the
"Love, Honor and Obey Tank," the use
of which has been under official taboo
since the beginning df iast semester.
In presenting the petition, the Sopho-
mores took the stand that unless the
tank is returned, no hope cou!d be
held for the submission of the "frosh"
and the observation of traditions. The
"sophs" report that the Freshmen
have gone so far as to carry on their
queening on the Senior bench.
"I kissed Mo!!y last night when
she wasn't !ooMng."
"Did she box your ears? "
"Nape, but she wouldn't took at me
for the rest of the evening."
Green Mask Piayera again added
another hit to their record of iocai
successes. A new departure in con-
fining the program to one type piay
was manifested in this iast biii. Two
French comedies were given in piace
of the usuai baianced program of three
short plays.
The first act of "Romances" was
delightfuiiy presented. The fresh
youthfuiness of the lovers was weii
preserved in the choice of actors. The
setting and costuming" did much to
put over the rather commonplace plot,
for they were admirably planned and
chosen.
"The Man Who Married a Dumb
Wife" had a more novei situation, fuii
of human and ciever repartee. The
actors for this were more experienced
and put more into their parts. As
usuai, Mr. Tidden and Miss Waido de-
serve much praise for their acting.
The wife's abiiity to talk shoutd warn
many a man.. In this play Rice taient
was demonstrated in McFaddin, Ben
son, Duggan and Jean Sproule as stu-
dents, and Mr. Tidden as an instruc-
tor.
The substantial reduction in price
to Rice students was weii received by
the student body as a whole. The
Green Mask Players have always gain
ed much support both for casts and
for audiences from the Institute. The
co-operation has grown stronger this
year and the next season should prove
greater for both through this increased
good feeiing.
This is the iast bill of the '20-'21
season. A)1 three programs given have
farther proved the need of drama as
a force in the community.
During the performance announce-
ment was made of a prise to be award-
ed by a friend to the Houstontan writ-
ing the best piay to be given by the
Green Maskers. Farther information
wiii be made through the newspapers.
