THE THRESHER is HOUSTON, TEXAS
FROM THE PRESS
Something's wrong up in North
Texas. Baylor and S. M. U. both got
scared stiff. Simmons held Baylor to
a 10 to 6 win, and Denton Normal held
S. 11. U. to a T to 3 victory. Not
enough to shout about.
* * *
And they can't say it was purposely
done, either. Four points or three
points is not safe enough margin for
any team. Texas U., with 27 to 0 over
Southwestern, could afford to pull out
the first team and run in subs, but not
so when a single touchdown would
have changed the victory.
*
The Oklahoma Aggies, too. They
downed Southwestern State Teachers
only 9 to 0. Coach Maulbetch probably
will do some serious thinking before
he predicts a conference champion-
ship. If he was "holding out," he chose
a close score to do it on. It doesn't
sound logical.
* * *
And our old friend, Phil Arbuckle,
is facing a stiff schedule at Louisiana
Polytech. His team plays some hard
games, including Tulane and Loyola.
But Phil has the former Owl, Bill
Simpson, to smash through with the
oval. That will help a lot. For old
times' sake we wish Phil and Bill good
* * *
Tennis sharks from Oklahoma Uni-
versity will take on Sam Fitch and
whoever his mate on the court will be,
some time in October. Sam swings a
mean racquet. He and Harold Moore
smashed through victoriously in every
tournament but one last season.
Moore is gone, but Sam practiced at
Cornell and elsewhere this summer,
and is expected to spread more stuff
than ever this year.
# * *
But all North Texas wasn't off last
Saturday. T. C. U. managed to pile
up 45 to 0 against theiiP'opponents.
True, their opponents probably were
not so strong, but it takes a good team
to make 45 points against any oppon-
ent. And, the interesting thing is,
Rice plays T. C. U. in her first Con-
ference game.
* * ♦
Pete Cawthorn at Austin College
has one big aim this year. It is "Beat
Rice."
You see, Pete used to coach baseball
here. He got a' better offer as head
coach at Austin, and now he wants
to show the old Institute how he has
made good. And he has the heaviest
and fastest team Austin ever assem-
bled. They were T. I. A. A. champions
last year, too.
* * *
Pep meetings have been held every
day at Sam Houston Norjnal this
week. They arec-coming to Houston
on a special train with 1200 rooters
and a band. They figure to take Rice
down several notches. Optimism is
rife on the campus there. They have
been "talking it up" for two weeks.

Sophomore Hop Is

ber 27, according" to plans made^t a

Hall on Prairie Avenue.

There was a young lady from Texas
The kind of a lady that nexas.
But I soon found that she,
If encouraged, would be,
The kind of a lady that rexas.

CO-ED NET CLUB
STARTS WORK
Forty Tennis Players
Now Are Members
Girls' tennis is given a new impetus
as the Girls' Tennis Club begins its
fall activity. Wednesday, a number
of members took part in the first prac-
tice matches. Courts have been re-
doctored during the summer and are
in excellent shape. Prospective new
members are to meet in room 105, A.
B., Tuesday.
At present some forty members
comprise the club. As its name speci-
fies, it is a true outdoor society, in-
door meetings being held only for di-
version when the weather prevents
playing tennis. Although some very
good players are included in the mem-
bership, skill in the game is not re-
quired. A coach shows the weak as
well as the better players the fine
points of the game.
Courts are free to all girls whether
members of the club or not and may
be used from 8:30 to 5 p. m. except
on Sunday and Saturday afternoons.
Membership, besides including the
services of the coach, presents a social
side, and most important of all mem-
bership is a necessary condition to
entrance in the spring tournaments,
where victory is rewarded with en-
graved silver loving cups offered by
the Institute.
Eligible for membership are all Rice
girls interested in tennis. Attention is
called to the following paragraphs of
the constitution:
